          pre-tax non-recurring special charge ($36 million after-tax) to
          operating income. Included in the charge was $31 million for employee
          severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 540
          positions, $17 million for asset write downs, and $6 million for other
          costs. Included in the severance program are approximately 190
          positions eliminated through a re-organization and restructuring of
          the company's research and development activities; the elimination of
          190 positions through the consolidation of the Packaging Group's
          administrative support functions, and about 160 positions through a
          series of organizational changes. Substantially all of the 540
          positions will be eliminated by the end of 1999.

Note 3.   The increase in "Other Current Assets" from December 31, 1997 is due
          to the reclassification of $14.3 million to assets held for resale
          from plant and equipment.

Note 4.   Included in "Current Liabilities" are $169 million and $113 million of
          commercial paper borrowings at September 30, 1998 and year-end 1997,
          respectively.

Note 5.   Included in "Other Liabilities and Minority Interest" at September 30,
          1998 and year-end 1997 are $98.2 million and $90.0 million,
          respectively, representing the minority interest in Union Camp's 68%
          owned subsidiary, Bush Boake Allen.

Note 6.   The company has guaranteed loans of up to $30 million made by a
          financial institution to non-controlled entities. Each of the loan
          guarantees has a term of four years or less and is secured by the
          entity's assets or, in the case of one borrower, contains contractual
          rights to obtain possession of stock in the business. The terms of one
          guaranteed loan for $15 million made to a customer of the company
          require a principal payment of $3.75 million during the fourth quarter
          of 1998. In addition, this same customer is in negotiations with the
          company to convert a $15 million past due trade account receivable to
          an interest-bearing note, which would mature in 2001. The customer's
          recent results of operations and anticipated cash flows indicate that
          it is doubtful that its obligations relative to the loan guaranteed by
          the company and the past due receivable will be fully met. As a
          result, the company has estimated the potential for loss and recorded
          a reserve against the exposure; however, on-going events and future
          business conditions may require the company to record additional
          charges.

            ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the third quarter of 1998, the company recorded a net loss of $21.8 million
or $.32 per share (diluted). Included in the company's third quarter results was
a special, non-recurring charge amounting to $54.5 million pre-tax ($36.2
million or $.52 per share after-tax). The special charge represents the cost of
a series of restructuring and reorganization actions to further improve
profitability. Included in the charge was $31.2 million for employee severance
costs related to the elimination of approximately 540 positions, $16.8 million
for asset write downs, and $6.5 million for other costs. Substantially all of
the 540 positions will be eliminated by the end of 1999.

Third quarter net income before the effects of the special charge was $14.4
million or $.20 per share (diluted), compared with $27.6 million or $.40 per
share (diluted) for the third quarter of last year. Not including the effects of
the special charge, income from operations for the quarter was $57.9 million, a
23% decrease from last year's third quarter. The earnings decrease from the
prior year reflects a combination of lower average selling prices for uncoated
free sheet and lumber, higher wood costs, as well as a drop-off in linerboard
shipments, which was partially offset by higher average selling prices for
linerboard and overall production efficiencies.

Net income for the first nine months of 1998 before the effects of the special
charge was $59.9 million or $.86 per share (diluted), compared with $47.8
million or $.69 per share (diluted) for the same period last year. Operating
income for the first nine months of 1998 was $199.2 million, before the effects
of the special charge, which was a 14% increase above the $174.0 million
reported for the first nine months of 1997. Although earnings before the special
charge improved over the comparable prior year period, the economic turmoil in
Asia significantly impacted the worldwide supply/demand balance during 1998,
thereby affecting the markets and demand for the company's core products.

In comparison to the second quarter of this year, third quarter net income
before the effects of the special charge decreased by 24%. Third quarter income
from operations before the special charge also declined by 8% from this year's
second quarter. During this year's third quarter, industry wide excess inventory
levels have resulted in declining prices for all of the company's major
products. In recognition of these weaker markets, the company took approximately
100,000 tons of downtime primarily in its linerboard mills during the third
quarter of this year. The earnings decline from the second quarter of this year
primarily reflects the impact of downtime taken at one paper mill and weakness
in prices primarily for uncoated free sheet and linerboard.

Net sales for the third quarter were $1.1 billion, down slightly from the
previous year's comparable quarter, as well as this year's second quarter.
Overall, total paper products shipments were down 6% from last year's third
quarter.

*Current year results include a special charge of $54.5 million pre-tax.


Operating income for the Paper and Paperboard segment in the third quarter of
1998 was $35.1 million, compared to $45.7 million reported for the third quarter
of last year. The decline in operating profit was attributable to lower average
selling prices for uncoated free sheet, decreased shipments of domestic and
export linerboard, as well as higher wood costs, all of which were partially
offset by higher average selling prices for domestic and export linerboard.
Compared with last year's third quarter, domestic and export linerboard
shipments decreased by 10% and 32%, while shipments of uncoated free sheet
remained level with last year. Third quarter average selling prices for uncoated
free sheet decreased 6%, while average


                                       8





<PAGE>
 
<PAGE>

selling prices for domestic and export linerboard increased 14% and 1%
respectively, versus last year's comparable period. Compared to the preceding
quarter, uncoated free sheet prices declined 6%, and domestic and export
linerboard prices declined 4% and 7%, respectively.

Packaging Products segment operating income was $8.0 million for the third
quarter of 1998, compared with $6.4 million for last year's comparable quarter.
Earnings increased due to improved performances in the flexible packaging and
folding carton operations, which were partially offset by lower margins within
both the domestic and international corrugated container businesses. During the
third quarter of 1998, the company recognized a $1.5 million gain on the sale of
its Lakeland, Florida container operation. Earlier this year, the company
decided to sell its Newtown, Connecticut plant as an ongoing operation. The book
value of this asset has been reclassified into assets held for resale, which is
included within other current assets.

The company's other business groups reported decreased operating income compared
with last year's third quarter. The Wood Products segment reported third quarter
earnings of $4.3 million, a significant decrease from last year's third quarter,
due largely to a 16% decrease in the average selling price of lumber from the
third quarter of 1997, higher wood stumpage costs, as well as start up expenses
associated with the company's new laminated veneer lumber plant. These factors
were partially offset by an increase in particleboard shipments of 4%, compared
with last year's comparable period. The earnings decline in the Chemical segment
resulted from a significant decrease in operating profits in the Chemical
Products business due to the unfavorable impact of exchange rates, the economic
slowdown in the Asia Pacific region, higher fixed costs, and lower average
selling prices. Although unfavorable currency exchange rates and the Asia
Pacific economic slowdown also negatively impacted the company's Bush Boake
Allen business, the effectiveness of cost control programs more than offset the
negative impact.

Depreciation expense for the third quarter of 1998 increased 3% from last year's
comparable quarter, due to the completion of several capital projects. Gross
interest expense in the third quarter decreased slightly compared to the same
quarter last year.

Cash flow from operations for the first nine months of 1998 was $317.0 million,
compared with $273.0 million for last year's comparable period. The increase was
primarily due to the increased earnings for the first nine months of this year,
before the effect of the special charge, and a decrease in trade receivables,
which were partially offset by a build up in inventories, and a decline in
accounts payable. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of this year
totaled $186.7 million, compared with $239.5 million last year. Total debt
increased $8.9 million during the first nine months of 1998 due to increased
commercial paper borrowings. The ratio of total debt to total capital employed
increased slightly to 37.5% at September 30, 1998, compared with 36.8% at
year-end 1997.

Net working capital decreased to $338.5 million at September 30, 1998, from
$408.6 million at year-end 1997 primarily due to an increase in short-term
borrowings, and a decrease in trade receivables, which partially offset
increases in inventory levels.

In the third quarter of 1998, the Board of Directors increased the amount of
common stock that the company is authorized to repurchase by 5 million shares.
Prior to the increased authorization, the existing repurchase program had about
1.2 million shares remaining to be purchased. With this action, the shares
authorized for repurchase increased to approximately 6.2 million. During the
first nine months of 1998, the company repurchased 276,800 shares for
approximately $13.0 million.

During the third quarter of 1998, the company continued to negotiate the
conversion of a $15 million past due trade account receivable to an interest
bearing note which would mature in 2001. In addition, the company previously
guaranteed a loan from a financial institution on behalf of this customer for
$15 million, which is payable in four equal annual installments commencing in
the fourth quarter of 1998. The customer's recent results of operations and
anticipated cash flows indicate that it is doubtful that its obligations
relative to the loan guaranteed by the company and the past due receivable will
be fully met. As a result, the company has estimated the potential for loss and
recorded a reserve against the exposure; however, on-going events and future
business conditions may require the company to record additional charges. The
company has security interests in the customer's assets and is in contact with
the customer regarding its prospects and results of operation.

On January 1, 1999 certain member nations of the European Economic and Monetary
Union (EMU) will adopt a common currency, the "Euro". For a three-year
transition period, both the Euro and the members' national currencies will
remain in circulation. After June 30, 2002, the Euro will be the sole legal
tender for EMU countries. The company's current accounting systems will
accommodate the Euro conversion with minimal intervention. In addition, the
company does not expect that the adoption of the Euro currency unit will have a
material impact on its operations, financial condition or liquidity. The costs
of addressing the Euro conversion are not expected to be material and will be
charged to operations as incurred.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

The Year 2000 problem relates to computer systems that have time and
date-sensitive programs that were designed to read years beginning with "19,"
but may not properly recognize the year 2000. If a computer system or software
application used by the company or a third party dealing with the company fails
because of the inability of the system or application to properly read the year
"2000," the results could conceivably have a material adverse effect on the
company.

STATE OF READINESS. The company has instituted a Year 2000 Compliance Program
which embraces internal business systems, manufacturing and logistics systems,
process control systems, security and mechanical systems, and associated
software. The program includes, where appropriate and significant, efforts to
determine whether relevant third party vendors, suppliers and service providers
are also actively engaged in achieving Year 2000 compliance in products,
services, and software, whichever may apply. The company began its Year 2000
compliance efforts in mid-1996 with an initial emphasis on the business
applications of information technology.

Individual sites are responsible to their division management for achieving Year
2000 compliance. Project coordinators at each division oversee the site
activities and provide consolidated progress reporting for the business unit.
Their effort emphasizes the identification of business risk related to business
systems and technology infrastructure.

The Year 2000 program is organized to proceed in phases and to be implemented by
each production operation, information systems group, and administrative unit.
The management of this activity is being conducted by internal resources,
usually engineers in maintenance or project management at operational sites or
in division or corporate offices.

Year 2000 work has been assigned the following five phases:

<TABLE>
<S>        <C>
Phase 1:   Awareness: Awareness of the problem is communicated, compliance is
           defined, and goals set.

Phase 2:   Inventory: Inventory plans are developed. All sites complete
           inventories. Information Services' data is inventoried for in-house
           analysis.

Phase 3:   Triage/Set Priorities: Assess the devices and software with potential
           Year 2000 problems, consider likely impact on operations, and
           prioritize remediation actions.

Phase 4:   Detailed Assessment: Investigate devices and software that have a
           Year 2000 compliance problem. Retain vendors as required and obtain
           proposals for fixes or replacements.

Phase 5:   Resolution, Testing, and Deployment: Repair, replace, provide work
           arounds for non-compliant devices and software. Define test plans and
           implement. Deploy upgrades and perform verification testing.

</TABLE>

The company's information services group currently has identified 237 major
business and technology systems. Ninety-five of these systems have been
designated as having higher risk. Approximately 70% of these systems are in the
final resolution, testing and deployment phase. In aggregate, all information


                                       10






<PAGE>
 
<PAGE>

technology compliance efforts are scheduled to be completed by September 1999.
The company is primarily utilizing internal staff resources in the Year 2000
effort. No significant consulting or contract personnel resources are being used
for the Year 2000 effort. In 1999, less than 10% of the information services
budget is expected to be spent for the Year 2000 effort.

For each division, and for the corporation as a whole, major new systems are in
their fourth year of development, implementation or operation. Over this period,
the entire information technology infrastructure of the corporation has been
upgraded providing Year 2000 compliance as a by-product in most instances.

PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS. The Awareness and Inventory phases are essentially
complete at all the company's mills and plant facilities. The majority of these
sites are well into the Triage phase which assesses potential Year 2000
problems. Currently, no operation has reported the need to replace a major
system. The company expects to complete the final phase, Resolution, Testing and
Deployment, by mid-1999.

SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIPS. The company's purchasing function is guiding the
execution and tracking of Year 2000 readiness in its supply chain relationships.
In addition to sending letters requesting confirmation of compliance or
compliance planning, the operations are identifying key materials, levels of
dependence, existence of backup resources or safety stock requirements, and
organizing responses to specific vendor issues.

REPORTING AND PROGRESS TRACKING. The company is utilizing a comprehensive
project management methodology. Reporting requirements are consistent in most of
the operating units of the corporation. Summaries of detailed division plans are
reviewed for progress according to business area, risk of non-compliance and
scheduled completion of the standard phases.

COSTS. Both internal and external resources are being used to reprogram or
replace non-compliant technologies, and to appropriately test Year 2000
modifications. Such modifications are being funded through operating cash flows.
The company estimates the incremental cost of corrective actions will be
approximately $20 million. Included in these costs are $2.5 million of capital
expenditures. Approximately $7.0 million of the total estimated cost will be
spent in 1998. The company believes all necessary work will be completed in a
timely fashion. While it is possible that the costs of these remedial efforts
may be material to the results of operations in one or more quarters, management
believes these costs will not have a material adverse impact on the long-term
results of operations, liquidity, or consolidated financial position of the
company.

CONTINGENCY PLANNING. While the company currently expects no material adverse
consequences on its financial condition or results of operations due to Year
2000 issues, the company's beliefs and expectations are based on certain
assumptions that ultimately may prove to be inaccurate. Divisions are developing
specific contingency plans for most reasonably likely worst case scenarios.
These plans are expected to be complete by September 1999. To mitigate the
effects of the company's or significant suppliers' failure to remediate the year
2000 problem in a timely manner, the company would take appropriate actions.
These actions include the inventorying of critical raw materials and supplies,
increasing finished goods inventories, switching to alternative energy sources,
and making arrangements for alternate suppliers.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Statements in this report or in other company announcements that are not
historical are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Such risks
and uncertainties with respect to the company include the effect of general
economic conditions, fluctuations in supply and demand for the company's
products including exports and potential imports, paper industry production
capacity, operating rates, competitive pricing pressures, that the company's
future "Year 2000" efforts reveal the costs of corrective action to be higher
than presently estimated and that, if the obligor of the $15 million trade
receivable and $15 million note guaranteed by the company defaults in its
payment obligations, the company's remedies may be insufficient.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings.

          During 1998 the Company discovered that a small power boiler
          constructed at its Franklin, Virginia mill in 1986 had been operated
          for brief periods at a rate in excess of its permit limit for sulfur
          dioxide emissions. Such rate would have required the boiler to meet
          more stringent emission limits on sulfur dioxide under New Source
          Performance Standard regulations for stationary sources within the
          time frame under which the boiler was constructed. The Company
          notified the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and Region
          III of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and received
          a notice of violation from the Virginia Department of Environmental
          Quality. The Company anticipates that a penalty will be imposed.
          Although the precise nature and amount of the penalty is not known at
          this time, based upon the information currently available to it, the
          Company believes the penalty could exceed $100,000.

Item 5.   Other Information.

          In June 1998 the Securities and Exchange Commission amended Rule 14a-4
          under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The amended rule provides
          that a proxy may confer discretionary authority to vote on any matter
          at an annual meeting if the company did not have written notice of the
          matter to be raised at the annual meeting at least 45 days in advance
          of the anniversary of the mailing of proxy materials for the prior
          year's annual meeting. The rule further provides that any advance
          notice provision in a company's bylaws or articles of incorporation
          will override the 45 day advance notice provision in the rule. The
          Company adopted a 60 day advance notice provision in June 1990 to give
          the Company adequate time to consider and react to such proposals. In
          order to permit the Company to receive approximately the same advance
          notice it would receive, in the absence of a bylaw provision, under
          Rule 14a-4, the Company amended Article II, Section 1 of the Company's
          bylaws on September 29, 1998 (with a subsequent minor change on
          October 27, 1998) to provide that a stockholder who wishes to propose
          the transaction of any business at any annual meeting of the Company's
          stockholders, including the nomination of one or more persons for
          election as directors, must provide written notice of such intent not
          less than 90 days before the anniversary date of the annual meeting
          (subject to the stated exceptions if the date of the meeting is more
          than 30 days before or after the anniversary date of the prior year's
          meeting). Accordingly, any stockholder wishing to propose the
          transaction of business at the next annual meeting of stockholders
          must notify the Corporate Secretary in writing no later than January
          28, 1999.
