The facility features techno - ronmentalcontrolsystems, logically innovative environmental control systems that eliminate more than 99-5 percent of air emissions and treat and recycle (rather than discharge) water from the manufacturing process. Roofing Georgia-Pacific manufactures both fiberglass and wood fiber-based asphalt shingles in a wide range of weights, designs and colors at its five.roofing plants. Because r of an aging U.S. housing stock, an estimated 65 to 75 percent of the industry's asphalt shingles are sold for reroqfing projects. Recognizing this, G-P has implemented a ; marketing program that targets roofing distributors whose primary custodiers are roofing contractors. The roofing market remained very competitive in 1990, -with overcapacity in the industry. Production costs increased in 1990 because the cost of asphalt-related raw f ""iriaterials has'risen with the price of crude oil. v' SGP 0030262 20 NVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY E "Georgia-Pacific sfuture depends on a healthy environment.

To us, wise use means not only the conversion of natural resources into thousands of useful products, but also the protection of the environment during growth, removal and processing of those resources. In fact, environmental pro tection is a primary responsibility of all G-P employees, and the company's expectations are formally incorporated in our operating policy. An Environmental Policy Committee, directed by Georgia-Pacific's president and chief operating officer, reports regularly to our board of directors. Georgia-Pacific has had a long-standing concern and commitment to environ mental quality. Many of Georgia-Pacific's and the industry's efforts on behalf of envi ronmental quality predate by many years the 1970 Clear Air Act and the 1972 Clean Water Act, which were among the first environmental laws that formalized the nation's environmental regulatory efforts. Forest Resources Georgia-Pacific owns and manages more than 8 million acres of timberland in North America. We take our stewardship responsibilities seriously. We manage our timberlands for a continuous supply of timber to our mills, while simul taneously maintaining air and water quality. Our timberlands also provide wildlife habitat and are used for millions of hours of recreation. Georgia-Pacific's timberland is geographically diverse, requiring forest manage ment practices best suited to the species, climates, soils and end uses of the timber. Our Northeastern forest, predominantly in Maine, covers nearly 3 million acres. The com pany's 3.9 million acres of Southern timberland, primarily Southern pine, are part of the nation's largest forested region, which stretches from Virginia to East Texas. G-P also owns and manages some of the world's finest hardwood in the Appalachian mountains and other regions of the country. In the West, our holdings include 315,000 acres of (jeorgt'a-Pacific's early efforts on behalfofenvi ronmental quality predate the 1970 Clean Air Act and the 1972 Clean Water Act, SGP 0030271 23 use a variety offorest management practices. Ourforesters follow orexceed best manage mentpractices or state guidelines. prime Douglas fir and hemlock on the Oregon coast; in California, 196,000 acres of coastal redwood and Douglas fir and 126,000 acres of ponderosa and sugar pine in the Sierra mountains. All Georgia-Pacific forest management practices, including harvest decisions, are made with the understanding that new trees will be planted and/or naturally regen erated, and that we must consistently strive to upgrade the economic value while maintaining the environmental quality of the land. Most of Georgia-Pacific's forests are managed for sawtimber. Representing higher value at harvest, these logs usually go to our sawmills or plywood plants. Our pulp and paper mills use residual chips from the wood products facilities. G-P uses as much of each tree as possible, with the bark and other waste providing biomass fuel for our boilers, and sawmill shavings, plywood trim and sawdust processed for making par ticleboard. Even plywood cores, the parts remaining after veneer has been peeled off the logs, are sawed into 2x4 studs or chipped for use at pulp mills. G-P uses a variety of forest management practices, and we require our foresters to follow or exceed best management practices or state guidelines. While in some areas this means selective harvesting, in other areas clearcutting or seed-tree harvests are used to accelerate reforestation. Because valuable softwood species such as loblolly pine and Douglas fir are intolerant to shade, clearcutting is a necessary part of site preparation for a healthy new stand of timber. This method not only facilitates reforestation, but also during the early stages of regeneration, the managed forest provides dramatically increased biodiversity, browse and cover for many species of wildlife. Georgia-Pacific also uses carefully controlled burning, under the right conditions, as a valuable forest management tool. Controlled burning of logging debris or under growth helps reduce litter buildup, lowering the risk of wildfire and improving wildlife habitat. Our foresters use meteorological information to select ideal conditions for small burns in order to reduce smoke and the risk of wildfire. SGP 0030272 24 Nationwide, Georgia-Pacific plants approximately 50 million trees each year. We operate seed orchards, seedling nurseries and greenhouses in most of our forest regions, except where natural regeneration methods predominate. Even with demand for wood fiber increasing by more than 70 percent over the last 30 years, America still grows more timber than it harvests. However, evidence is mounting that shortages of softwood are coming. The conversion of Western commercial forests into wilderness or other limited-use status has caused increasing shortages. Trees are at the heart of our business. We grow trees and protect the land as though our future depends on it--because it does. Aar and Water Quality One of Georgia-Pacific's highest priorities is protecting the health and safety of our employees, the communities where we operate and the con sumers of our products. With 265 manufacturing facilities annually producing almost 9 million tons of pulp, paper and paperboard; nearly 12 billion square feet of panel products and about 2.6 billion board feet of lumber, plus many other products, we must remove enormous quantities of solids and particulate from our emissions into the air and our effluent into waterways. Modern wastewater treatment and emission control facilities are used at each of our plants to accomplish this task. We believe it is essential that sound scientific analyses be used in making decisions regarding environmental issues, and we provide financial support to advance environ mental research. We support the development of realistic health risk assessments, and we are prepared to stand behind sound science in matters concerning our products or manufacturing processes. Georgia-Pacific provides funding for a number of universities and industry and public organizations, such as the National Council for Air and Stream Improvement, that use scientific research to develop advanced processes to reduce adverse envi ronmental impact. These commitments require substantial capital resources. During the past two E ven with demandfor woodfiber increasing over the last 30 years, A merica stillgrows more timber than it harvests. One ofour highest priorities is the health and safety ofour employees, our communities and the consumers ofourproducts. SGP 0030273 25 Cj.eorgta-Pacific annually recycles more than 1 million tons ofpaper andpackaging to produce containerboard and otherproducts. While recycling is important, we must not forget the ultimate objective -- the wise and efficient use ofresources. decades, the pulp and paper industry has spent $8 billion on environmental projects. Georgia-Pacific's capital expenditures for pollution control facilities and equipment were $164 million during the past five years, with additional ongoing expenses incurred to maintain environmental regulatory compliance. Our financial commitment to envi ronmental improvement is significant. That is why v/e believe proper scientific methods rather than theory and emotion must drive environmental policy. Stolid Waste and Recycling Georgia-Pacific is committed to ongoing efforts to utilize manufacturing waste and byproducts efficiently, as v ell as to recycle post-consumer waste. We manufacture paper and building materials util :ing both wastepaper and manufacturing residuals. Over 6Q percent of our energy needs are self-generated from wood waste and other renewable sources. Thirty percent of all paper waste is already recovered and the U.S. paper industry's goal is to achieve 40 percent by 1995. Georgia-Pacific annually recycles more than 1 mil lion tons of paper and packaging to produce products that include sanitary tissue, com munication papers and containerboard. We use 100-percent recycled paperboard to sheathe our gypsum wallboard, and we also use recycled paper fiber in asphalt roofing. In addition, we make several grades of printing paper with secondary fiber, including the ProterraTM used in this annual report that contains 50-percent reprocessed wastepaper. G-P has initiated an office wastepaper collection system, and now employees at our headquarters in Adanta and other locations participate in the recycling effort. While recycling is important, we must not forget the ultimate objective --the wise and efficient use of resources. To solve the problem of shrinking capacity of solid waste landfills, the volume of garbage must be reduced. To achieve this reduction, recycling is an important step, and recycling can take many forms--incineration to energy, com posting, and separation to other products. Recycling legislation must give careful con sideration of the economics involved. For example, mandating percentages of recycled SGP 0030274 26 fiber content of office paper can shorten the effective life of the fiber, limit the uses of that wastestream and limit more efficient uses of waste fibers. An alternative example is Georgia-Pacific's use of office paper waste to make asphalt roofing shingles. Many years after application, when the shingles are removed from a roof, they can be used to make asphalt paving. Thus, the effective life of the original wood fiber can be extended for decades. Environment, Economy and Quality ofLife Georgia-Pacific believes that a num ber of factors contribute to our quality of life--a healthy environment, a safe workplace and the opportunity to maintain or improve our standard of living. We also believe the goal of environmental protection is achieved only when environmental benefits are clearly measurable and the economy continues to grow. One need only look at the poor quality of air and water in Eastern Europe, or the forest practices in some developing countries, to realize that a healthy environment and a healthy economy are inextricably intertwined. To the extent these factors remain in balance, our quality of life will con tinue to improve. Sacrificing the integrity of our economic base to the ever-increasing pursuit of a risk-free environment, however, will damage our economy and reduce our ability to fund environment-enhancing technologies and initiatives. w* believe environmental protection is achieved only when environmental benefits are measurable and the economy con tinues to grow.

Georgia-Pacific and Great Northern Nekoosa gen erated a combined cash flow from operations of $6.5 billion. Qjdsh Flow We believe it is more important to focus on the cash flow generated by our businesses than on net income. In 1990, Georgia-Pacific's cash flow from operations-- excluding $850 million provided by the sale of accounts receivable--declined only 10 percent, to $1.2 billion from a record $1.4 billion in 1989, despite higher interest pay ments and lower prices for many products. The decline in cash flow contrasts with a 45 percent decrease in net income. Net income was reduced by substantial noncash charges, including amortization of goodwill and increased depreciation and depletion resulting from the revaluation of assets acquired with Great Northern Nekoosa. In the past five years, Georgia-Pacific and Great Northern Nekoosa generated a com bined cash flow from operations of $6.5 billion, including a record $1.9 billion in 1989 alone. This internally generated cash flow provided most of the financing for substantial growth through capital expenditures and acquisitions over the same period. We believe that, with progress in debt reduction and the achievement of cost savings synergies, our business will be capable of generating average annual cash flows from operations of more than $1.5 billion over the course of the next economic cycle. Incentive Compensation Flans To reinforce Georgia-Pacific's commitment to increasing shareholder value, we have implemented compensation programs that align our managers' economic interests with those of our shareholders. We believe the value of our shareholders' investment in Georgia-Pacific can only be increased by generating returns that exceed our cost of capital. Our Management Incentive Plan is based on this concept. Compensation under this plan depends upon improvements in economic value added, which take into account the amount of after-tax cash flow, our cost of capital and the amount of capital invested in the business. Another incentive compensation plan directly ties management's interests to our shareholders' interests. Under the 1990 Long-Term Incentive Plan, approximately SGP 0030278 30 2.7 million shares of G-P common stock were allocated to 471 officers and key employees as of December 31,1990. The number of allocated shares that will be earned under this plan depends upon the achievement of specified increases in share price and upon the plan participant's continued employment for a specific time. For example, awards of shares allocated in 1990 are contingent upon $10 increases over an initial share price of $30. When the mean of the daily high/low market price of G-P common shares averages $60 over twenty consecutive trading days, 20 percent of a participant's allocation will be awarded. Subsequent awards are based on share price targets of $70, $80, $90 and, for the full allocation to be earned, $100, being achieved before the plan expires in March 1995. Generally, shares are not vested and cannot be sold by the employee until five years after they are awarded. The 1990 Long-Term Incentive Plan superseded a similar plan that had been adopted in 1988, under which participants earned 80 percent of the initial allocation in less than two years. Although economic conditions and equity prices declined in 1990, we believe the stock price targets under the 1990 Long-Term Incentive Plan present achievable goals for our management and give them a powerful incentive to increase shareholder value by improving efficiencies, generating cash and reducing debt. Capital Investments/Divestitures Our business is capital-intensive. Our ability to add value depends to a large extent on our ability to allocate funds to projects that generate returns in excess of our cost of capital. We routinely evaluate the performance of existing operations, and consider the divestiture of those that are not expected to deliver adequate returns. In the past five years, Georgia-Pacific has invested $7.1 billion in capital assets, including $6.0 billion for property, plant and equipment and $1.1 billion for timber w* have adopted an incentive compensation plan that directly ties management's interests to our shareholders' interests. (eorgia-Pacific has invested$7.1 billion m capital assets in the past five years, primarily in the pulp andpaper segment. SGP 0030279 31 ^ffle expect capital spending to be reduced. New capital expenditure authorizations in 1991 are expected to be less than $400 million. and timberlands. These expenditures include acquisitions of approximately $4.1 billion, including $2.9 billion for capital assets acquired with Great Northern Nekoosa in 1990. Most of our capital investments have been made in the pulp and paper segment. G-P evaluates internal expansion projects and acquisitions by the rate of return of free cash flow expected to be generated over the life of the investment. We define free cash flow as operating profits after taxes paid, plus noncash charges such as depreciation and depletion, minus any new investment in fixed assets or working capital. Our hurdle rate of return takes into account our cost of capital, the relative risk of the investment and other variables that can affect the investment's return. We perform post-completion audits on major projects to measure achieved returns against targeted returns. Other capital projects are defensive in nature, such as those undertaken to maintain our facilities or comply with environmental regulations. We estimate our requirements for such spending to be approximately $300 to $400 million annually. We expect capital spending to be reduced over the next few years as we direct cash toward debt reduction. Following capital spending of $866 million (excluding acqui sitions) in 1990, capital expenditures are expected to decline to approximately $700 million in 1991, including $560 million for projects begun in prior years. The generally excellent condition of our facilities will enable us to reduce capital spending after the completion of those projects. New capital expenditure authorizations for projects to begin in 1991 are expected to be less than $400 million. Given the large number of competitors in our industry and the relatively modest growth in demand projected for most of our products, we believe that large-scale, "greenfield" investment opportunities are limited. For that reason, we expect that our cash flows may often exceed the amounts that can be invested at attractive returns and that we will be in a position to resume our share repurchase program. SGP 0030280 32 Following the acquisition of Great Northern Nekoosa, we sold a portion of our domestic containerboard and packaging business, our G-P Inveresk subsidiary in the United Kingdom, our interests in a containerboard mill and packaging plants in France, several tracts of timberland and other assets. We will continue to review all of our oper ations for performance and strategic fit and may identify other facilities and timberlands that should be sold. Y^ividends andShare Repurchases In the past five years, we have distributed approximately $1.7 billion to our shareholders through a combination of dividends and stock repurchases. Our policy is to pay dividends at a rate of approximately one-third of sustainable earnings, recognizing the cyclical nature of our business. Following four consecutive years with fourth-quarter dividend increases, we left our quarterly dividend unchanged in 1990. We view the dividend payout in conjunction with our share repurchase program. Our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program that began in 1987 as a means of distributing excess cash to our shareholders and maintaining our ratio of debt to capital within a target range, currently set at 40 to 45 percent. In 1989, for example, cash provided by operations exceeded our capital expenditures and dividend payments by $729 million. Of this free cash flow, $468 million was used to repurchase 9.7 million shares of common stock. This brought total share repurchases since 1987 to 26.2 million at a cost of $1.1 billion. In October 1989 we suspended our share repurchase program, anticipating the higher leverage that resulted from the Great Northern Nekoosa acquisition. Our board's authorization to repurchase shares remains in effect, however, and we expect to resume our share repurchase program after we reduce debt to an appropriate level. w continue lo operations forperiormtoKi and strategic fit anti may identify faculties ana ttmberiands that should 'oe so/d.

Re urns on sales were 7.1% and $ 365 $ 661 $ 467 Lower net income resulted from deteriorating economic conditions which affected both the pulp and paper and building products segments, particularly in the fourth quarter of 1990, and from higher interest expense fol lowing the acquisition of GNN. Business conditions weakened further in the first quarter of 1991. Earnings per share declined 42.3 percent to $4.28 in 1990, com pared with $7.42 in 1989, because of lower net income, although this was offset to some extent by a 3.8 million 8.8% in 1990 and 1989, respectively. The housing down turn adversely affected demand and prices for building products, particularly in the Inst half of 1990, as prices for plywood and other wood panels fell sharply. Prices were also lower in 1990 because supplies were not affected by the strikes against competitors and frequent rains which had positively affected wood products prices in 1989- Prices are expected to remain at low levels in 1991, with lower profits expected for the building products segment.

Industry Segment Information Manufactured product lines in the pulp and paper segment consist primarily of containerboard and pack aging (linerboard, medium, bleached board, kraft paper and corrugated packaging), communication papers, mar ket pulp, tissue, groundwood papers and envelopes. Manufactured product lines in the building products segment consist primarily of wood panels (plywood, hardboard, particleboard, oriented strand board,etc.), lumber, gypsum products, chemicals and roofing Timber and timberlands are managed to supply raw materials to both the pulp and paper and building prod ucts segments. Profits from sales of timber and timberlands to the pulp and paper segment and to outside customers in the ordinary course of business are included in the operating profits of the building products segment. During the years 1988 through 1990, sales to foreign markets represented less than 10% of total sales to unaffiliated customers. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of total sales to unaffiliated customers in any year during that period.

Acquisitions Great Northern Nekoosa Corporation In March 1990, the Corporation acquired a controlling stock interest in Great Northern Nekoosa Corporation (GNN). GNN was a producer of pulp, communication papers, newsprint and containerboard, a converter of corrugated boxes and envelopes, and a distributor of communication and other papers. In addition, GNN owned three wood products operations, hydroelectric plants and 3,436,000 acres of fee timberland and controlled 233,000 acres of leased timberland. The amount required to purchase the stock and pay related fees and expenses was approximately $3.7 billion. The results of GNN's operations have been included in the accompanying statements of income and cash flows beginning on March 9,1990. The following unaudited pro forma information shows the results of the Corpora tion's operations, as though the acquisition of GNN had been completed on January 1,1989- (Millions, exceptper share amounts) Net sales Net income Earnings per share Year ended December 31 1990 1989 <13,359 331 3.88 $13,944 627 7.04 The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method.

The acquired assets included a softwood pulp and paperboard mill, three pine sawmills and related timber assets. The Corporation paid $245 million in cash and deliv ered $300 million principal amount of 10-year notes to the sellers. The acquisition was recorded using the pur chase method. The purchase price exceeded the fair value of net assets acquired by $18 million. This amount is included in goodwill and is being amortized over 10 years. The results of Brunswick's operations have been included in the accompanying statements of income and cash flows beginning on August 24,1988. Had the acquisition been completed as ofJanuary 1,1988, the Corporation's net sales and income for 1988 would not have been materially affected. SGP 0030295 47 Georgia-Pacific Corporation and Subsidiaries Note 4. Asset Divestitures After the acquisition of GNN, the Corporation announced plans to sell certain assets identified as not strategic to its principal operations. The following divestitures were completed in 1990. The pretax gains and losses associated with these sales are included in other income in the accompanying state ment of income. a In October 1990, the Corporation sold the stock of its G-P Inveresk Corporation subsidiary for $61 million cash. G-P Inveresk Corporation manufactured printing and specialty papers at four locations in the United Kingdom. A pretax loss of $40 million was recognized on this sale. a In December 1990, the Corporation sold 119,000 acres of fee timberland in two separate transactions for $108 mil lion cash. A pretax gain of $88 million was recognized on these sales. Injanuary 1991, the Corporation restructured its containerboard and packaging business by completing the following divestitures: a A linerboard mill at Valdosta, Georgia; a corrugating medium mill at Tomahawk, Wisconsin; 19 corrugated packaging plants and approximately 540,000 acres of fee timberland were sold (and lease rights to 98,000 acres of timberland were assigned) for approximately $740 million cash, subject to certain adjustments. a The Corporation's interests in a linerboard and corrugat ing medium mill, two corrugated packaging plants and two sheet plants located in France were sold for approxi mately $105 million cash, subject to certain adjustments. Note 3. Receivables The Corporation has a large, diversified customer base. As of December 31,1990, the Corporation had sold fractional ownership interests in a defined pool of trade accounts receivable for $850 million. The net cash pro ceeds are reported as operating cash flow in the accom panying statement of cash flows. The sold accounts receivable are reflected as a reduction of receivables in the accompanying balance sheet. Under a three-year agree ment, the purchasers have agreed to use the collections of receivables to purchase new receivables up to $1 billion. The purchasers' level of investment is subject to change based on the level of eligible receivables and restrictions on concentrations of receivables. Receivables of a certain age and uncollectible receivables are not eligible to be included in the pool. The full amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts has been retained because the Cor poration has retained substantially the same risk of credit loss as if the receivables had not been sold. The Corpo ration pays fees based on its senior debt ratings and the purchasers' level of investment and borrowing costs. The fees, which were $48 million for 1990, are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accom panying statement of income. Note 6. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes is based on pretax financial income which differs from taxable income. Differences generally arise because certain items, such as deprecia tion, are reflected in different time periods for financial and tax purposes.

Companies are now required to adopt the new standard no later than for fiscal years beginning after December 15,1991- The FASB is considering further amendments to Statement under the unsecured term loan. Following the sales of certain timberland in December 1990 and containerboard and packaging assets inJanuary 1991 (Note 4), $675 mil lion of payments were made on the term loan in 1991. The remaining scheduled maturities of long-term debt for the next five years are as follows: $89 million in 1991, $547 million in 1992, $454 million in 1993, $363 million in 1994 and $289 million in 1995. No. 96, including a possible deferral of the required date of adoption. It is anticipated that the Corporation will adopt the new standard in the required period of adoption and that prior periods will not be restated. The amount to be recorded will be dependent upon cumulative net timing differences and statutory tax rates existing at that time, as well as any further amendments to Statement No. 96. Unsecured Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility On June 26,1990, the Corporation entered into a credit agreement with 25 banks which provided a $2.5 bil lion unsecured term loan and a $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. The term loan bears interest, at the election of the Corporation, at either (a) the higher of the reference rate and the Federal Funds Rate plus Vi % or (b) LIBOR plus 1%. The term loan is payable in installments through 1997. SGP 0030297 49 Georgia-Pacific Corporation and Subsidiaries The revolving credit facility bears interest, at the election of the Corporation, at either (a) the higher of the reference rate and the Federal Funds Rate plus t %, (b) LIBOR plus 3/4%, or (c) fixed or floating rates set by competitive bids. There are certain availability, facility and other fees associated with the revolving credit facility. At December 31,1990, the revolving credit facility had $355 million of outstanding borrowings and was being used to support an additional $629 million of commercial paper and other short-term borrowings, leaving $516 million available under that facility. The interest rates payable under the credit agreement are subject to adjustment based on the Corporation's funded debt ratio and debt ratings. The credit agreement contains certain restrictive cov enants. These include a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, which is calculated on a rolling four quarter basis beginning on April 1,1990, of 1.00 through March 31, 1991, 1.20 throughjune 30,1991,1.45 through June 30, 1992 and increasing thereafter; a maximum leverage ratio of .74 from December 31,1990 through September 29, 199L .72 from September 30,1991 through September 29, 1992 and decreasing thereafter; an overall limit on indebt edness of $8.3 billion and restrictions on the creation of liens on assets. Commercial Paper and Other Short-term Notes As of December 31,1990, $984 million of commercial paper and other short-term notes were outstanding. These borrowings were all classified as current liabilities even though all or a portion of them might be refinanced on a long-term basis in 1991. A recent technical interpretation of gen erally accepted accounting principles does not permit the classification of these borrowings as long-term liabilities due to certain provisions of the Corporation's revolving credit facility. Other At December 31,1990, $117 million of long term debt was secured b property and timber with a net book value of $117 millu. n. At December 31,199c the Corporation had registered for sale up to $200 millim of debt securities under shelf registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. At December 31,1990, the Corporation had out standing interest rate exchange agreements which effec tively converted $2.7 billion of floating rate debt with a weighted average interest rate of 9-22% to fixed rate debt with an average effective interest rate of approximately 9-93%. Under the agreements, which have a remaining average maturity of approximately 3.9 years, the Corpo ration makes payments to counterparties at fixed interest rates and in turn receives payments at variable rates. The differential to be paid or received is accmed as interest rates change and is recognized over the lives of the agree ments. The Corporation is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties, but does not anticipate such nonperformance.

Due to the nature of its Dividend, liquidation and voting rights, the economic value of one one-hundredth of a share ofJunior Preferred Stock that may be acquired upon the exercise of each Right should approximate the economic value of one share of common stock. The Rights are exercisable only if a person or group acquires 15 % or more of the Corporation's common stock or announces a tender offer for 30% or more of the common stock. If a person becomes the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the Corporation's outstanding common stock, or if a holder of 15 % or more of the Corporation's stock engages in certain self-dealing transactions or a merger transaction in which the Corporation is the surviving cor poration and its common stock remains outstanding, then each Right not owned by such party will entitle its holder to purchase, at the then-current exercise price, shares of the Corporation's Series A Junior Preferred Stock with a market value of twice the exercise price. In addition, if after any person acquires 15% or more of the Corporation's outstanding common stock, the Cor poration is involved in a merger or other business com bination transaction with another person after which its common stock does not remain outstanding, or the Cor poration sells 50% or more of its assets or earning power. each Right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the thencurrent exercise price, shares of the other party's common stock with a market value of twice the exercise price. Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies The Corporation is a party to various legal proceedings generally incidental to its business. Although the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently deter minable, management does not expect the outcome of these proceedings to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Corporation. The Corporation is involved in certain claims related to fire retardant treated plywood which was sold through the Corporation's building products distribution centers between 1979 and 1988. Such plywood has been used to meet building codes on multifamily residential structures primarily on the East Coast of the United States. It has been alleged that the chemical treatment applied to such plywood by independent treaters has caused the plywood to lose its structural integrity under some circumstances. Management believes that, to the extent the Corporation has responsibility for such claims, it is entitled to be indemnified by the treaters of the plywood and their insurance carriers, but there can be no assurance that the treaters will have the financial ability to satisfy such claims. Additionally, the Corporation has substantial insurance coverage which it believes should apply to these claims. Although the ultimate disposition of these claims is not determinable at this time, management does not expect the outcome of these claims to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Corporation. The Corporation is expected to be required over the next several years to meet the cost of environmental clean-up programs undertaken by its various operating units, to conform its operations to increasingly stringent environmental standards, and to discharge environmental SGP 0030302 54 Georgia-Pacific Corporation and Subsidiaries obligations which it retained in connection with the dis position of certain operations. The Corporation has met similar requirements in the past without material adverse effect, and although the cost of meeting these require ments is expected to progressively increase in the future, management believes the Corporation can continue to do so without material adverse effect on its financial condition The Corporation is self-insured for general liability claims up to $25 million per occurrence. The Corporation is a 50% partner in a joint venture (GA-MET) with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (Metropolitan). GA-MET owns and operates the Corpo ration's office headquarters complex in Adanta, Georgia. The Corporation accounts for its investment in GA-MET under the equity method. During 1986, GA-MET borrowed $170 million from Metropolitan for the primary purpose of retiring debt incurred from the acquisition and construcdon of the Atlanta headquarters complex. The note bears interest at 9% % and requires monthly payments of principal and interest with a final installment due in 2011. The note is secured by the land and building of the Atlanta head quarters complex. In the event of foreclosure, each part ner has severally guaranteed payment of one-half of any shortfall of collateral value to the outstanding secured indebtedness. Based on the present market conditions and building occupancy, the likelihood of any obligation to the Corporation with respect to this guarantee is considered remote. No/j 11.

These financial statements are the respon sibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and dis closures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Georgia-Pacific Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31,1990 and 1989 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,1990 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Management is also responsible for preparing the other financial information included in this annual report. In our opinion, the financial statements on the preceding pages have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and the other financial information in this annual report is consistent with the financial statements. Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate internal control system which encompasses policies, procedures and controls directly related to, and designed to provide reasonable assurance as to, the integrity and reliability of the financial reporting process and the financial statements generated therefrom. An independent evaluation of the system is performed by the Corporation's internal audit staff in order to confirm that the system is adequate and operating effectively. The Corporation's independent public accountants also con sider certain elements of the internal control system in order to determine their auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the financial statements. Management has considered any significant recommendations regarding the internal control system which have been brought to its attention by the internal audit staff or inde pendent public accountants and has taken the steps it deems appropriate to maintain a cost-effective internal control system. Management believes that as of December 31,1990, the internal control system is adequate and effective in all material respects. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, consisting of five outside directors, provides oversight in the areas of financial reporting and internal control and approves fees paid to the independent public accountants for both audit and non-audit services. The Corporation's internal auditors and independent public accountants meet regularly with the Audit Committee to discuss financial reporting and internal control issues and have full and free access to the Audit Committee.
