Letter to Shareholders
Georgia-Pacific Corporation and Subsidiaries
Nineteen eighty-six was a year ofsolid performance for Georgia-Pacific. We invested to improve productivity and upgrade our product mix, to add value and reduce costs. We have improved profitability, and our financial position is strong.
Most important, the wealth of our shareholders increased. Your shares appreciated, and your Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend to 25 cents per share in the fourth quarter.
Our net income rose to $296 million in 1986, 58 percent higher than in 1985. Sales reached $7.2 billion, compared with $6.7 billion in 1985. We capitalized on available resources, and improved profitability in an economic environment of low inflation and moderate growth. We also added value to our products and improved manufacturing efficiencies with investments in existing plants and mills. We think these investments will have higher rates of return than would investments in large acqui sitions or in building new facilities.
We see ample opportunities ahead for growth in building products sales and profits. We expert single-family residential construction and the remodeling, repair and additions market to remain strong in 1987, but anticipate some decline in multi-family starts, partly because of tax reform.
Weak pricing likely will continue to challenge the building products industry during 1987 because of overcapacity in lumber and plywood production. The 15 percent tax on Canadian softwood lumber exported to the United States will give Canadian producers a new cost base that will be helpful to U.S. producers.
We will continue to achieve growth in our building products sector through internal investments and acquisitions that represent good pro duction and marketing fits for Georgia-Pacific. We will maintain our strategy ofintegrating backward from distribution, as we have in roofing and moulding products, for example.
Pricing improved for most of our pulp and paper products during 1986 as a result ofdecreased inventories worldwide and the lower-valued U.S. dollar. Demand is strong for commodities such as market pulp and linerboard, as well as for higher-margin printing and writing papers. In the tissue sector, demand has improved slightly, but markets remain highly competitive. We expect continued strength in our major markets in 1987, with additional price improvements for pulp, linerboard and other grades.
In pulp and paper we plan to concentrate on containerboard and packaging, printing and writing paper, and tissue -- areas where we think we can be a major factor in the market. As we maintain our ability to meet the needs of our external pulp markets, we also plan to upgrade the value of our pulp by integrating forward into new paper capacity. We anticipate continued growth during 1987 through both internal investments and acquisitions.
Our capital investments in 1986 were $482 million. In 1987 we expect to invest approximately $600 million, excluding possible acqui sitions. We expect that we will be able to fund this capital program and pay our dividends without increasing debt.
While there will be opportunities to expand our markets in the future, formidable challenges also will affect the way we do business.
Not only are we operating in highly competitive businesses, but the fiscal and economic environment in the U.S. and abroad also presents challenges.
In the past 10 years, there have been eight major tax code revisions and many other changes in law and regulation. American business needs a stable tax environment to plan for the kinds of investments our industry must make to be competitive in world markets. With enactment of the new tax law, American industry lost investment tax credits and accelerated depreciation rates, in exchange for the promise of lower taxes in the future. If this promise is not kept, the effect on business confidence and business investment will be dramatic and adverse.
These challenges, however, do not dampen our optimism about G-P's ability to compete effectively. Our return on equity has risen from 1 percent in 1982 to almost 34 percent in 1986, providing good momentum for continued improvement. Our management structure and profit improvement programs are focused on achieving continued growth in returns to our shareholders. We are optimistic about our prospects for achieving the goal of consistent and superior returns on our shareholders' equity.
Your Board recently announced the appointment of Ronald P. Hogan as executive vice president-operations. He has contributed substantially to the growth of our nationwide Distribution Division, and he will work directly with Robert A. Schumacher in managing Georgia-Pacific's operations.
We know you join us in thanking all Georgia-Pacific employees for their fine contributions to our improved performance in 1986.

Forest Products Chemicals/Industrial Resins and Adhesives During 1986 Georgia-Pacific's Chemical Division strengthened its position as a leading supplier of resins, adhesives and chemicals, to the building products and pulp and paper industries. Hie division supplies products and technical services to many large users ofindustrial resins and major panel product manufacturers, in addition to meeting G-PV internal requirements.
Last year, Georgia-Pacific's thermosetting resin group introduced a revolutionary plywood adhesive, for which a patent is pending. The new resin allows for increased moisture content in softwood plywood, reducing drying time, thereby improving productivity, and also ' resulting in a more stable panel.
Production began at the company's 15th thermosetting resin facility ; at Beaver Creek, Michigan, at the end of 1986. That new facility, inT corporating the most sophisticated technology available, is the most advanced plaint ofits kind in the industry.
- The paper chemicals business brought several new products to ' the marketplace during 1986. New products include ink-component resins used in printing designs on tissue and toweling, improved wet strength resins, and a product that reduces foaming during the papermaking process.
Product development and long-range planning are undertaken at the division's technical center at Decatur, Georgia, which is undergoing a major expansion during 1987. To serve its markets better, the division also incorporates statistical process control within every business area.
Outlook Positive We are enthusiastic about the performance of the building products segment during 1986, and are optimistic that our progress will con tinue in 1987.

During the last five years we have gained on this long-term objective. Georgia-Pacific's return on
capital employed was 10.4 percent in 1986, still below our cost of capital but significantly improved from : 1982 when our return on capital employed was only j 2.5 percent: Over this period of time, we completed . a majorprogram ofdivestin'g underperforming assets as well as assets unrelated to core forest products - businesses. The cash generated from these divesti tures enabled us to reduce debt as well as make sub stantial capital investments to reduce manufacturing costs and upgrade product mix. Georgia-Pacific's.
This cash-generating capacity was used to finance a substantial portion of Georgia-Pacific's growth. From 1982 through 1986, cash provided by opera tions accounted for 79.1 percent of Georgia-Pacific's total cash sources. During that same period, oper ating cash flows were supplemented with $643 million of cash proceeds from asset sales and liqui dation ofinvestments, including the divestitures of the company's Chemical Packaging Division in 1986, its oil and gas subsidiary in 1985 and its commodity chemicals subsidiary in 1984.
improved returns are also attributable to external

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Georgia-Pacific Corporation and Subsidiaries
Dividends We recognize the importance ofdividends in addition to stock performance as part of the total return to Georgia-Pacific's shareholders. As reflected in the chart, quarterly dividends were reduced to 15 cents per share late in 1982 in response to depressed earn ings levels over several years. Consistent with pur . guideline of paying approximately one-third of -. sustainable earnings, the quarterly dividend rate was increased to 20 cents per share in mid-1984 and again to 25 cents per share in late 1986 as Georgia-Pacific's profitability improved.; '

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash provided by continuing operations amounted
to $575 million in 1986 and $771 million in 1985.
The 1985 amount includes $150 million of cash
generated through successful efforts in reducing
inventories and receivables in response to depressed
business conditions. A normal build-up ofinven
tories and receivables occurred as conditions
improved in 1986, requiring the use of $121 million
of cash. Cash flow from continuing operations,
supplemented with $92 million proceeds from
liquidation of investments and $79 million proceeds
from sales of assets, was sufficient to fund $482
' million ofcapital expenditures, reduce outstanding
debt and preferred stock by a net $160 million and
pay $97 million in dividends. Effective in the 1986
fpurth quarter, the Board of Directors voted to
increase the quarterly dividend on common stock
"to 25 cents (from 20 cents) per share."
; ' ; Considerable progress was made in reducing
and restructuring outstanding debt and preferred
stock during 1986: '
-- $150`million of 9'/*% sinking fund debentures

Georgia-Pacific Corporation and Subsidiaries
At the end of 1986, Georgia-Pacific's total debt-to-capital had been reduced to 26.3 percent from its 1985 year-end level of32.0 percent. The Corporation has been authorized by its Board of Directors to purchase common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in order to maintain total debt-to-capital within a target range, currently 30 to 35 percent. This target range should provide flexibility for both internal and external investment opportunities as they arise.
At December 31,1986, the Corporation had $250 million ofdebt securities registered for sale with the Securities and Exchange Commission under a shelfregistration statement. This financing source will enable the Corporation to react quickly to acquisition opportunities and to favorable market conditions for restructuring existing debt.
The Corporation's existing bank lines of credit totaled $700 million at December 31,1986, ofwhich approximately $275 million was being used to support commercial paper borrowings and other short-term instruments. These agreements establish unsecured lines ofcredit of$385 million until May 1, 1989 and $315 million until May 1,1988. These committed lines of credit, together with other available financing sources and Georgia-Pacific's capacity to generate funds from operations, are adequate to finance growth and to meet operating and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. -
Working capital amounted to $583 million and $660 million, respectively, at December 31,1986 and December 31,1985. The current ratio, defined as total current assets divided by total current liabil ities, was 1.7 to 1 at December 31,1986 and 2.0 to 1 at December 31,1985.
Georgia-Pacific's capital expenditures totaled $482 million in 1986 and $642 million in 1985. The 1986 figure includes investments in property, plant and equipment of $426 million ($390 million at existing facilities plus $36 million of acquisitions) and $56 million of timber and timberlands acquisi tions. Capital expenditures of approximately $600 million are projected for 1987.
Approximately 44 percent of total capital expenditures in 1986 were in the pulp and paper segment. A major project to upgrade production from market pulp to white paper at our Port Hudson, Louisiana facility was completed in April. Major projects are now underway to rebuild a tissue machine at our Palatka, Florida facility and to expand and modernize four disposable diaper facilities acquired in 1985. Both projects should be completed in late 1987.
The building products segment accounted for approximately 40 percent of total capital expendi tures in 1986. This includes the acquisition of a hardboard manufacturing company with five oper ating facilities located in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Arkansas, and the acquisitions of three moulding manufacturing plants located in California. In June, a major expansion was completed at our Crossett, Arkansas plywood facility. Construction of a new thermosetting resins plant in Beaver Creek, Michi gan was completed in December. Construction of a new gypsum wallboard plant near LasVegas, Nevada is expected to be completed in late 1987.
In the 1986 fourth quarter, the Corporation received cash proceeds of $92 million from liquida tion of portions of its investment in Georgia Gulf Corporation, purchaser of the Corporation's com modity chemicals subsidiary in 1984. A $33 million pre-tax gain was recorded from this liquidation, including $17 million from the sale ofapproximately 969,000 warrants. The Corporation retained a $16 million investment in preferred stock and warrants exercisable for approximately 1,831,000 shares of common stock.

Effective January 1,1986, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Stan dards No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions". This change in accounting principle increased income from continuing operations approximately $11 million in 1986. Also effective January 1,1986, a new timber capitalization policy was adopted and applied retroactively, which had the cumulative effect of increasing 1986 income from continuing operations approximately $8 million.
Income from continuing operations also in cludes a $33 million pre-tax gain from liquidation of investments in 1986 and a $19 million pre-tax gain on the sale of certain Oregon timberlands in 1985. These gains are classified as "Unusual items" in the accompanying financial statements and excluded from segment operating results.
The impact of the new tax law reduced 1986 income from continuing operations approximately $17 million through repealing the investment tax credit, although some credits were allowed in 1986 under transition rules. These lost investment tax credits were recorded in the 1986 fourth quarter and were the primary reason for a 39.0 percent effective income tax rate for the year, compared to 33.0 percent in 1985.
Future provisions for taxes currently payable are expected to increase under the new tax law, particularly in 1987 as the higher capital gains tax rate and the full impact of lost investment tax credits are realized. Timing differences arising in future years will result in lower provisions for deferred taxes because of lower statutory tax rates on ordi nary income. Under existing generally accepted accounting principles, deferred taxes provided prior to 1987 will not be adjusted for the new lower tax rates until the related income or expense item enters into taxable income. Given the present accounting rules and our expectation of continued investment in capital assets, it is unlikely that the effect of lower tax rates on existing deferred tax balances will sig nificantly affect future operating results. However, ifthe liability method ofaccounting for income taxes were to be adopted, as is currently proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, existing deferred tax balances would be reduced.
The remaining discussion refers to the "Selected Industry Segment Data" table.
The building products segment reported sales of $4.9 billion in 1986, up 8.6 percent from $4.5 billion in 1985. Operating profits of $500 million in 1986 included an $11 million pre-tax reduction of expense due to the adoption of a new timber capitalization policy. Excluding this adjustment, operating profits increased to $489 million in 1986 from $391 million in 1985, as the return on sales improved to 10.1 percent from 8.7 percent. Increased volume and reduced manufacturing costs were the major reasons for this segment's improved results. Average prices for plywood and lumber in 1986 were comparable to 1985 levels, while gypsum, roofing and thermosetting resins prices were lower on aver age in 1986 than in 1985. For 1987, we anticipate little change in our building products markets, with continued highly competitive prices for lumber and structural panels.

Sales in the pulp and paper segment reached $2.3 billion in 1986, 6.9 percent higher than the 1985 level of $2.1 billion. Operating profits rose to $146 million in 1986 from the 1985 level of $29 million, as the return on sales improved to 6.4 percent from 1.4 percent. The improved results in 1986 are due primarily to decreased inventories worldwide and the lower valued U.S. dollar, as well as timely up grading and modernization of mills and equipment.

Results in the prior year were hampered by lost production time due to labor problems and several major equipment conversion projects. Average prices for pulp, bnerboard, kraft paper and commercial tissue were higher in 1986 than in 1985. Prices for printing papers, corrugated boxes and multiwall packaging also strengthened during 1986, particu larly late in the year, although average prices for the year were lower than in 1985. We expect continued improvement in most ofour pulp and paper markets in 1987, especially commodity grades such as pulp, linerboard and uncoated freesheet paper.
General corporate charges increased to $91 million in 1986 from $33 million in 1985. This increase relates primarily to higher compensation expense for stock options due to stock price increases as well as losses from early retirements ofhigh interest rate debt in 1986.
Total interest costs decreased to $147 million in 1986 from $162 million in 1985 as a result ofreduced debt levels and lower interest rates. Interest expense of $138 million in 1986 was higher than the 1985 level of $132 million, due to less interest being capitalized on construction projects in 1986.
1985 Compared with 1984 Georgia-Pacific's consolidated net sales were $6.7 billion for both 1985 and 1984. Income from con tinuing operations decreased to $207 million ($1.83 per share on a primary basis) in 1985 from $253 million ($2.28 per share) in 1984. A $30 million loss from discontinued operations, which was par tially offset by a $10 million extraordinary gain from settlement of a condemnation suit, lowered 1985 net income to $187 million ($1.64 per share). A $134 million loss from discontinued operations in 1984 lowered net income in that year to $119 million (97 cents per share).
The results of continuing operations include a $ 19 million pre-tax gain on the sale ofcertain Oregon timberlands in 1985 and a $19 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the Corporation's former headquarters building in Portland, Oregon in 1984. These gains are classified as "Unusual items" in the accompany ing financial statements and excluded from segment operating results.
The remaining discussion refers to the "Selected Industry Segment Data" table.
Sales in the building products segment were $4.5 billion for both 1985 and 1984. Operating profits increased to $391 million in 1985 from $379 million in 1984, as the return on sales improved to
8.7 percent from 8.5 percent. The improved results
were achieved despite lower average prices for lumber
and plywood sheathing in 1985. Competition from
low-cost Canadian lumber imports and excess
industry capacity in plywood sheathing markets
held prices below levels historically experienced
with similar levels of demand. Reductions in
Georgia-Pacific's fiber and conversion costs and
strong gypsum markets helped offset the effects of
these pricing conditions. Gypsum operations were
this segment's most profitable in 1985, although
average prices for the year were slightly lower than
in 1984.
The pulp and paper segment reported a 1.1 per
cent sales increase to $2.1 billion in 1985, reflecting
a full-year contribution from the bnerboard, kraft
paper and corrugated container operations obtained
through an acquisition in mid-1984. Operating
profits declined sharply in 1985 to $29 milhon
from $202 milhon in 1984, as the return on sales
fell to 1.4 percent from 9.6 percent. A strong U.S.
dollar and excess worldwide pulp capacity made
U.S. products less competitive overseas and caused
an accumulation of domestic inventories, resulting
in lower prices for a number of this segment's major
products. Average prices for pulp, linerboard, kraft
paper and printing papers were all below 1984
average price levels. Tissue was the only major
product for which average prices improved in 1985
as compared to 1984. The 1985 pulp and paper
results were also affected by lost production time
caused by a strike at our Crossett, Arkansas pulp
and paper mill during most of the third quarter and
by major equipment conversion projects at several
mills, particularly in the fourth quarter. A $12 milhon I
operating loss was reported in the 1985 fourth
)
quarter on sales which were 23 percent below the |
fourth quarter of 1984.
;
General corporate charges decreased to $33
million from $68 milhon in 1984. Much of this
reduction is attributable to interest and dividend
income on the debentures and preferred stock
obtained from the sale of a commodity chemicals
subsidiary in December 1984.
Interest expense declined to $132 milhon in
1985 from $156 milhon in 1984. This reduction is
primarily attributable to increased capitalization of
interest as a result of the large capital expenditures
program in 1985. Total interest costs of $162 milhon
in 1985 were shghtly lower than the 1984 level of
$167 milhon.

In the 1986 fourth quarter, the Corporation received cash proceeds of $92 million from liquidation of portions ofits investment in Georgia Gulf Corpo ration, purchaser of the Corporation's commodity chemicals subsidiary in 1984 (Note 3). A $33 million pre-tax gain was recorder from this liquidation, including $17 million from the sale ofapproximately 969,000 warrants. The Corporation retained a $16 million investment in preferred stock and war rants exercisable for approximately 1,831,000 shares of common stock. Neither the preferred stock, the remaining warrants, nor the underlying common stock are registered securities, and therefore may not currently be offered for sale to the public.
The Corporation has an agreement with an unrelated third party to sell or exchange approxi mately 134,000 acres of Oregon timberlands from time to time over a three-year period ending April 1, 1988. A pre-tax gain of $19 million was recorded in 1985 from the sale of a portion of the timberlands under this agreement.
The Corporation's former headquarters building in Portland, Oregon, owned by GA-MET, ajoint venture in which the Corporation has a 50% owner ship interest, was sold in 1984. The Corporation recorded a pre-tax gain of $19 million from this transaction.
Note 3. Discontinued Operations The Corporation has disposed of certain lines of business, including all ofits commodity chemicals and oil and gas operations. These dispositions were completed in the first quarter of 1986 with the sale ofits Georgia-Pacific Plastics, Inc. subsidiary, whose principal asset was an expandable polystyrene plant in Painesville, Ohio, for $13 million in cash.
In September 1985, the Corporation sold its Exchange Oil & Gas Corporation subsidiary (Exchange). After adjusting for cash received from
Exchange prior to the sale, net cash proceeds were approximately $136 million at closing. Also during 1985, the Corporation sold its Polymer, Inc. sub sidiary, whose principal asset was a color concentrate plant in Farmingdale, New York, for $8 million in cash.
In December 1984, the Corporation sold its commodity chemicals subsidiary, Georgia-Pacific Chemicals, Inc., to the executive group managing that business. Under the terms of the agreement, the Corporation received $192 million in cash plus debt, preferred stock and warrants which had an estimated value of $70 million.
The Corporation initially estimated a $160 million loss on disposal of discontinued operations, net of related income tax benefits of $137 million, which was recorded in the fourth quarter of 1984. This estimate was revised in the 1985 third quarter, at which time an additional $30 million loss, net of related income tax benefits of $14 million, was recorded. Prior to the decision to dispose of these operations, operating income of $26 million, net ofincome taxes of $14 million, had been recorded in 1984 on net sales of $446 million.
Cash provided by discontinued operations consisted of the following:
(Millions)
Cash provided by (used for): Operating income (loss), net of taxes, noncash items and changes in working capital Capital expenditures prior to sale Proceeds from sale of assets

The scheduled maturities oflong-term debt are $134 million in 1987, $102 million in 1988, $23 million in 1989, $77 million in 1990 and $28 million in 1991.
As ofDecember 31,1986, the Corporation had three bank revolving credit agreements providing for aggregate lines of credit of $700 million.
One of these agreements is with nine domestic money center banks and establishes a $385 million unsecured revolving line of credit until May 1,1989, at which time the outstanding balance may be converted to a term loan repayable in eight equal semiannual installments beginning onJune 30,1989. Commitment fees during the revolving loan period are Vi of 1 percent of the daily average unused available credit. The interest rates associated with this agreement are based on either the prime rate, certificate of deposit rate or the offshore rate.
A second agreement is with ten banks and establishes an unsecured revolving line of credit totaling $215 million until May 1, 1988. Commit ment fees during the revolving loan period are Vi of 1 percent of the daily average unused available credit. The interest rates associated with this agree ment are based on either the prime rate. Federal funds rate or Eurodollar interbank offered rate.
A third agreement is with four banks and establishes a $100 million unsecured revolving line of credit until May 1,1988. Commitment fees during the loan period are Vi of 1 percent of the daily average unused available credit. The interest rates associated with this agreement are based on either the prime rate or certificate of deposit rate.
The Corporation uses these three agreements to support commercial paper and other short-term borrowings. At December 31,1986, $175 million of commercial paper and other short-term borrow ings with an average interest rate of 7.11% were classified as long-term debt. Management intends to refinance these borrowings on a long-term basis by either replacing them with long-term obligations or with equity securities or by renewing, extending or replacing them with short-term obligations.
On March 4, 1986, the Corporation issued $150 million of 9'/4% sinking fund debentures due March 15, 2016. The debentures require the Corpo ration to make sinking fund payments commencing in 1997 and are redeemable (subject to certain re strictions) at any time at the Corporation's option.
In March 1986, $24 million of 12% notes classified as "purchase contracts and other" in the accompanying table were retired. The Corporation also retired $65 million of 145/a% notes in April 1986 and redeemed $150 million of 10.10% notes in June 1986. The Corporation purchased $26 mil lion ofits outstanding 12 Vi% sinking fund deben tures in June and redeemed the remaining $74 million in December 1986.

The preferred stock was recorded at fair market value on the date ofissue. The excess ofinvoluntary liquidating value over such fair market value is being amortized over a ten-year period by a charge to retained earnings and a corresponding credit to preferred stock.
Subject to adjustment for common stock divi dends and splits, each share of the preferred stock has a conversion price of $39.00 and an involuntary liquidating value of$39.00, and is convertible into one share of common stock and entitled to one vote. In addition, whenever six quarterly dividends on Series A preferred stock are unpaid, the holders of such Series A stock are entitled to elect two directors of the Corporation until all past dividends have been paid.
Each share ofpreferred stock is entitled to receive cumulative quarterly cash dividends at the annual rate of$2.24. Such dividend rate is subject to increase up to a maximum of$4.00 per share should the Cor poration fail to make the scheduled purchase offers, as described in the following paragraphs, unless the average of the last reported sales prices for the Cor poration's common stock during a prescribed period of time is at least 108% of the conversion price of the preferred stock during such period.
Subject to the price of the Corporation's common stock and the appropriate action by the Board of Directors, the Corporation has the option to make offers to purchase, at a price of $39.00 per share plus accumulated dividends, a specified number ofshares annually. In 1986, the Corporation accepted tenders for the purchase of approximately 828,000 shares of Series A, 192,000 shares of Series B and 269,000 shares of Series C preferred stock at $39.00 per share. Based on the price ofits common stock, the Corporation has elected not to make a purchase offer in 1987. The optional preferred stock purchase offers for the years subsequent to 1987 would be for approximately 1,289,000 shares in 1988, 458,000 shares in 1989 and 242,000 shares in 1990.
The preferred stock will be subject to optional redemption (Series A--1987 through 1988, Series B --1987 through 1989 and Series C--1987 through 1990) at $39.00 per share plus accumulated divi dends provided that the average of the last reported sales prices for the Corporation's common stock for a prescribed period of time is at least 125% of the then conversion price of the preferred stock. When these conditional redemption periods expire, the pre ferred stock may be redeemed, without limitation, at $39.00 per share plus accumulated dividends.
Subject to certain limitations, the Corporation is required to redeem on an annual basis, as a sink ing fund, approximately 414,000 shares of Series A beginning in 1988, 96,000 shares of Series B beginning in 1989 and 134,000 shares of Series C beginning in 1991, at $39.00 per share plus accumulated dividends.

Georgia-Pacific Corporation and Subsidiaries
Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies The Corporation is a 50% partner in a joint venture (GA-MET) with Metropolitan Life Insurance Com pany (Metropolitan). GA-MET owns and operates the Corporation's office headquarters complex in Atlanta, 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 construction of the Atlanta headquarters complex. The note bears interest at 9V2% and requires monthly payments of principal and interest with a final in stallment due in 2011. The note is secured by the land and building of the Atlanta headquarters complex. In the event offoreclosure, each partner has severally guaranteed payment of one-half of any shortfall 01 collateral value to the outstanding secured indebtedness. Based on present market conditions and building occupancy, the likelihood of any obli gation to the Corporation with respect to this guarantee is considered remote.
During 1986, the Corporation adopted a pro gram to self-insure for general liability claims up to $25 million in amount. These risks were previously insured with a nominal deductible amount.
Note 11. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes is based on pretax financial accounting income which differs from taxable income. Differences generally arise because certain items, such as depreciation and capitalized interest, are reflected in different time periods for financial accounting and tax purposes.
The Corporation uses the flow-through method of accounting for investment tax credits. Under the flow-through method, investment tax credits are recognized as a reduction ofincome tax expense in the year the qualified investment is made.
The provision for income taxes for continuing operations consisted of the following:
