     resulting from a change in the estimated useful lives of certain
     production equipment, of which $5 million applies to the paper
     segment and $2 million applies to the building products segment.


NOTE E - CONTINGENCIES

There are pending against the company and its subsidiaries
lawsuits, claims and environmental matters arising in the regular
course of business. In addition, the Internal Revenue Service is
currently examining the company's consolidated income tax returns
for the years 1993 through 1996.

The paper group is a party to a long-term power purchase
agreement with Southern California Edison (Edison).  Under this
agreement, the paper group sold a portion of its peak electrical
generating capacity from a co-generation facility operated in
connection with its Ontario mill to Edison.  Edison was to pay
the paper group for electricity generated and sold to Edison.
During the fourth quarter 2000 and the first quarter 2001, the
Ontario mill generated and delivered electricity to Edison but
has not been paid.  As a result of this non-payment, during April
2001, the paper group notified Edison that the long-term power
purchase agreement was terminated because of Edison's material
breach of the agreement.  At first quarter-end 2001, $5 million
is due to the paper group under this agreement.

Edison has contested the right of the paper group to terminate
the power purchase agreement.  The parties are currently in
litigation to determine, among other matters, whether the



15



agreement has been terminated and whether the paper group may
continue to have access through the interconnection services
provided by Edison.

The company does not believe that the resolution of these matters
will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated
operations or financial position.


NOTE F - ACQUISITIONS

During April 2001, the parent company announced that the paper
group entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the
corrugated packaging operations of Chesapeake Corporation for
$120 million cash, subject to adjustment.  These operations
consist of ten corrugated container plants in seven states.  It
is anticipated that the acquisition will close during May 2001.


NOTE G - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND CHANGES IN ESTIMATES

Derivatives

Beginning January 2001, the company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended.  The cumulative
effect of adopting this statement was to reduce first quarter
2001 net income by $2 million or $0.04 per diluted share and
other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders' equity,
by $4 million.  As permitted by this statement, the company also
changed the designation of its portfolio of held-to-maturity
securities, which are carried at unamortized cost, to available-
for-sale, which are carried at fair value.  As a result, the $862
million carrying value of these securities was adjusted to their
fair value with a corresponding after-tax reduction of $16
million in other comprehensive income.

The company uses, to a limited degree, derivative instruments to
mitigate its exposure to risk, including those associated with
changes in product pricing, manufacturing costs and interest
rates related to borrowings and investments in securities, as
well as with mortgage production activities.  Changes in the fair
value of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges
are deferred and recorded in other comprehensive income.  These
deferred gains or losses are recognized in income when the
transactions being hedged are completed.  The ineffective portion
of these hedges, which is not material, is recognized in income.
Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as
fair value hedges are recognized in income, as are the changes in
the fair value of the hedged item.  Changes in the fair value of
derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges for
accounting purposes are recognized in income.  The company does
not use derivatives for trading purposes.


16



The parent company uses commodity derivative instruments
principally to mitigate its exposure to changes in linerboard
pricing and the cost of old corrugated containers.  These
instruments cover a small portion of the paper group's volumes
and range in duration from a few months to three years.  They are
designated as cash flow hedges.  The net fair values of these
instruments at first quarter-end 2001 are $(5) million and are
included in other long-term liabilities.  The parent company also
uses interest rate derivative instruments to mitigate its
exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of its
borrowings.  These instruments cover $50 million of commercial
paper and other short-term borrowings and expire in 2008.  They
do not qualify as hedges.  Changes in their fair value are
included in interest expense.  The net fair values of these
instruments at first quarter-end 2001 are $(3) million and are
included in other long-term liabilities.

The financial services group uses interest rate derivative
instruments to mitigate its exposure to changes in interest rates
associated with adjustable rate assets with lifetime caps, such
as adjustable rate mortgage loans or mortgage backed securities.
These instruments have notional amounts totaling $242 million and
expire in 2003.  They do not qualify as hedges.  Changes in their
fair value are included in interest income.  The net fair value
of these instruments at first quarter-end 2001 is not
significant.  Due to the current interest rate environment and
maturity and notional value of these instruments, their effect on
operations is not expected to be material.

The financial services group also uses forward sales commitments
to mitigate its exposure to changes in interest rates between the
time a mortgage loan commitment is made and the funding and sale
of the loan to a third party.  Those forward sales commitments
matched against a portion of loans held for sale are designated
as fair value hedges. Changes in their fair value are included in
non-interest income. Those forward sales commitments matched
against unfunded loan commitments and the related unfunded loan
commitments do not qualify as hedges.  Changes in their fair
values are included in non-interest income. The net fair value of
these instruments at first quarter-end 2001 is not significant.

Depreciation

Beginning January 2001, the parent company began computing
depreciation of certain production equipment using revised
estimated useful lives.  These revisions ranged from a reduction
of several years to a lengthening of up to five years. First
quarter 2001 income includes $4 million, or $0.08 per diluted
share, as a result of this change.  The parent company expects
that this change will increase 2001 net income by $16 million, or
$0.32 per diluted share.



17


Goodwill

During April 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
tentatively decided to adopt a non-amortization, impairment-only
approach for goodwill, which if approved, would be effective as
of June 30, 2001.  Under this approach, amortization of goodwill
would be precluded and goodwill would be measured for impairment.
The effect of non-amortization of goodwill during the last six
months of 2001 would be to increase 2001 net income by $4 million
or $0.08 per diluted share.

(1)  Segment operating income for 2001 includes a $7 million
     reduction in depreciation expense resulting from a change in the
     estimated useful lives of certain production equipment, of which
     $5 million is applicable to Paper and $2 million to Building
     Products.



19


Each of these business segments is affected by the factors of
supply and demand and changes in domestic and global economic
conditions, including changes in interest rates, new housing
starts, and home repair and remodeling activities and the
strength of the U.S. dollar.

Unless otherwise noted, increases or decreases refer to first
quarter 2001 amounts compared with first quarter 2000 amounts.
First quarter 2000 amounts have been reclassified to conform to
current year classifications.

The Paper Group

The Paper Group's revenues were $512 million, down 2 percent.
Average box prices were up 8 percent while box shipments were
548,000 tons, down 3 percent.  Average linerboard prices were up
8 percent.  Compared with the fourth quarter 2000, revenues were
about even.  Linerboard prices were down slightly and box prices
were flat.  Volumes were up slightly for seasonal reasons.

Production, distribution and administrative costs were $491
million, up 5 percent due to higher energy costs offset by
declines in the cost of old corrugated containers (OCC) and the
positive effect from lower depreciation expense.  Energy costs
were up $22 million due primarily to the higher cost of natural
gas.  OCC cost, which accounts for 38 percent of the Paper
Group's fiber requirements, was down $9 million.  OCC was $72 per
ton at quarter end, down 37 percent.   As a result of the
lengthening of the estimated useful lives of certain production
equipment, depreciation was reduced by $5 million.  Compared with
the fourth quarter 2000, costs were up about 4 percent due mainly
to higher energy costs, which were up $18 million.

Mill production was 519,000 tons, down 20 percent or 131,000
tons.  Of the mill production, 18 percent was sold in the
domestic and export markets.  The Paper Group's converting
operations used the remainder.  The decrease in production was
due to curtailments and the conversion of the Newport medium mill
during the third quarter 2000.  Production was curtailed by
98,000 tons due to market, maintenance and operational reasons
compared with first quarter 2000 curtailments of 43,000 tons and
fourth quarter 2000 curtailments of 135,000 tons. The Paper Group
may curtail more production in future quarters for these reasons.
First quarter-end 2001 inventories were down 45,000 tons and were
about even with year-end 2000.  During the quarter the Paper
Group purchased 43,264 tons of medium from its Newport joint
venture.  The agreement to purchase medium from the Newport
venture expires during June 2001.

Operating income was $21 million, down 60 percent due to the
factors discussed above.



20



During the quarter, the Paper Group announced the acquisition of
the corrugated packaging operations of Chesapeake Corporation for
approximately $120 million, subject to adjustment.  This
transaction is expected to close during May 2001.  These acquired
operations include ten corrugated container plants in seven
states and should increase the Paper Group's integration level
and customer base.  The Paper Group is continuing its efforts to
enhance return on investment.  As part of this effort, the Paper
Group is reviewing operations that are unable to meet return
objectives to determine appropriate courses of action.


The Building Products Group

The Building Products Group's revenues were $169 million, down 29
percent.  Average prices for all products were down with lumber
prices down 19 percent, particleboard down 15 percent, gypsum
down 53 percent and MDF down slightly.  Shipments for all
products except MDF were down with lumber shipments down 9
percent, particleboard down 15 percent and gypsum down 21
percent.  MDF shipments were up slightly.  Compared with the
fourth quarter 2000, revenues were up 4 percent.  Average prices
for most products were down except lumber.  Lumber prices were up
5 percent.  Shipments for most products were up.

Production, distribution and administrative costs were $178
million, down 12 percent due to lower volumes and the positive
effect from lower depreciation expense offset by increases in
energy costs. Weaker demand and the incident at the Mt. Jewett
particleboard facility affected production volumes.  It is
expected that the Mt. Jewett facility will resume full production
during the second quarter 2001.   As a result of the lengthening
of the estimated useful lives of certain production equipment,
depreciation was reduced by $2 million.  Energy costs were up $3
million due primarily to the higher cost of natural gas.
Compared with the fourth quarter 2000, costs were up about 7
percent due partially to higher energy costs.

Production was curtailed to varying degrees in all product lines
due to market conditions during the first quarter 2001.
Production averaged from a low of 63 percent to a high of 78
percent of capacity in the various product lines.  The Building
Products Group may curtail more production in future quarters for
this reason.

An operating loss of $9 million was incurred due to the factors
discussed above.

The Financial Services Group

The Financial Services Group revenues, consisting of interest and
non-interest  income,  were $372 million, up  20  percent,  while
operating  income was $45 million, up 29 percent.  Compared  with



21



the   fourth  quarter  2000,  revenues  were  up  slightly  while
operating income was down 20 percent.  The reduction in operating
income  from the fourth quarter 2000 was primarily due to  losses
from  the  sale of a portion of the mortgage servicing  portfolio
and  the  sale of an auto loan portfolio coupled with an increase
in the provision for loan losses.

Net  interest income was $107 million, up 19 percent  due  to  an
increase in the net interest spread and an 11 percent increase in
average earning assets.

The provision for loan losses was $17 million, up 13 percent. The
increase  in the provision was the result of growth and a  change
in  the mix of the loan portfolio and a decline in asset quality,
primarily relating to certain large commercial and business loans
and  construction  and development loans in  the  senior  housing
industry.

Non-interest income, which consists primarily of income from real
estate  and  insurance activities, loan related fees and  service
charges  on  deposits,  was  $82 million,  up  32  percent.   The
increase  was  due  to  increases in mortgage  origination,  real
estate  and  insurance  activities  and  a  focus  on  fee  based
products.  This was offset by a $2 million loss on the sale of an
auto  loan  portfolio  and  a $3 million  loss  on  the  sale  of
servicing  rights on approximately $9 billion in mortgage  loans.
The  servicing  rights were sold in order to mitigate  impairment
risk in a declining interest rate environment.

Non-interest  expense  was  $121 million,  up  24  percent.  This
increase was due to commission related activity, acquisitions  in
the asset based lending and leasing operations and increased real
estate activity.

Asset Quality
Several  key measures are used to evaluate and monitor the  asset
quality  of the Financial Services Group. These measures  include
the   level  of  loan  delinquencies,  nonperforming  loans   and
nonperforming assets.

Net loans charged off/average loans          0.02%     0.32%      0.35%


The  increase in the level of nonaccrual loans was primarily  due
to  certain  large loans in the construction and development  and
commercial and business portfolios. The loans in the construction
and  development portfolio are in the senior housing industry and
the  commercial  and  business loans  are  primarily  asset-based
transactions.  These loans have substantial  collateral  and  are
being actively monitored.

The increase in the allowance for loan losses was the result of a
$17  million  provision  for loan losses,  primarily  related  to
growth  and  a  change in the mix of the loan portfolio  and  the
loans discussed above.  The lower annualized net charge-off ratio
was  the  result  of  a recovery of $2 million  on  a  previously
charged off loan.

Operating income was $45 million, up 29 percent due to the
factors discussed above.



23




Corporate and Interest
Parent Company interest expense was up $3 million due to higher
levels of debt outstanding partially offset by a slight decrease
in interest rates.

Income Taxes
The effective tax rate is 43 percent and is based on current
expectations of income and expenses for the year 2001.  The
effective tax rate includes federal and state income taxes and
the effects of non-deductible goodwill amortization and other
items.


Accounting Change
The cumulative effect of adopting Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative and
Hedging Activities, as amended was to reduce net income by $2
million, net of a deferred tax benefit of $1 million.


Average Shares Outstanding
Average diluted shares outstanding were 49.3 million, down 7
percent due to the effects of the share repurchases under the
share repurchase programs authorized during the fourth quarter
1999 and the third quarter 2000.


Capital Resources and Liquidity

The consolidated net assets invested in the Financial Services
Group are subject, in varying degrees, to regulatory rules and
regulations. Accordingly, Parent Company and the Financial
Services Group capital resources and liquidity are discussed
separately.

Parent Company

Operating Activities
Cash used in operations was $6 million.  This was due to lower
earnings offset in part by lower working capital needs and a $15
million dividend from the Financial Services Group.



24




Investing Activities
Capital expenditures were $61 million.  Capital expenditures are
expected to approximate $200 million for the year 2001.

Financing Activities
Dividends paid were $16 million or $.32 per share.  Debt
increased $85 million from year-end levels.  Subsequent to first
quarter-end, $200 million of 9.0% term notes were repaid using
$100 million of short-term borrowings and $100 million from an
existing three-year revolving credit agreement.  In addition, a
new $150 million five-year term loan is being arranged, of which
$120 million will be used to fund the announced acquisition of
the Chesapeake Corporation's corrugated packaging operations.
There were no repurchases of shares under the August 2000 Board
of Directors authorization to repurchase 2.5 million shares.  To
date at total of .75 million shares have been repurchased under
this authorization.

Other
The parent company has sufficient liquidity and capital resources
to meet its anticipated needs.


Financial Services

The principal sources of cash for the Financial Services Group
are operating cash flows, deposits, and borrowings.  The
Financial Services Group uses these funds to invest in earning
assets, generally loans and securities.

Operating Activities
Cash used in operations was $137 million.  This was due to higher
earnings and an increase in cash for mortgage loans serviced for
others offset by an increase in mortgage loans held for sale.

Investing Activities
Loans originated or acquired increased $493 million and were
offset by $328 million received primarily from the sale of an
auto loan portfolio.  Securities decreased by $114 million and
$29 million was received from the sale of servicing rights on $9
billion in mortgage loans.

Financing Activities
Deposits decreased $367 million while borrowings increased $557
million.  The decrease in deposits was due to the competitive
markets and the decision to pursue other funding sources such as
Federal Home Loan Bank advances.  A $15 million dividend was paid
to the parent company.




25



Other
The Financial Services Group has sufficient liquidity and capital
resources to meet its anticipated needs.  At quarter- end, the
savings bank exceeded all applicable regulatory capital
requirements.  The parent company expects to maintain the savings
bank capital at a level that exceeds the minimum required for
designation as "well capitalized" under the capital adequacy
regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision.  From time to
time, the parent company may make capital contributions to the
savings bank or receive dividends from the savings bank.  During
the quarter the parent company made no capital contributions to
the savings bank and received $15 million in dividends from the
savings bank.

Selected financial and regulatory capital data for the savings
bank follows:

Energy and Related Matters

Energy costs continued to rise during the first quarter 2001 and
were approximately $25 million higher compared with first quarter
2000 and $19 million higher compared with fourth quarter 2000.
The company anticipates that energy costs will be down slightly
in the second quarter 2001, but that the general upward trend in
energy costs could resume in the third quarter 2001.  The company
continues to explore alternative arrangements and fuel sources in
an effort to contain energy costs.

The energy situation in California has been well publicized.  The
paper group is a party to a long-term power purchase agreement
with Southern California Edison (Edison).  Under this agreement,
the paper group sold a portion of its peak electrical generating
capacity from a co-generation facility operated in connection
with its Ontario mill to Edison.  Edison was to pay the paper
group for electricity generated and sold to Edison.  During the
fourth quarter 2000 and the first quarter 2001, the Ontario mill




26



generated and delivered electricity to Edison but has not been
paid.  As a result of this non-payment, during April 2001, the
paper group notified Edison that the long-term power purchase
agreement was terminated because of Edison's material breach of
the agreement.  At first quarter-end 2001, approximately $5
million is due to the paper group under this agreement.

Edison has contested the right of the paper group to terminate
the power purchase agreement.  The parties are currently in
litigation to determine, among other matters, whether the
agreement has been terminated and whether the paper group may
continue to have access through the interconnection services
provided by Edison.  All litigation has an element of uncertainty
and the final outcome of any legal proceeding cannot be predicted
with any degree of certainty.  In addition, as the owner of a co-
generation facility in California, the company is subject to
additional risks associated with any state or federal regulatory
actions that may be taken in an effort to address the energy
situation in California.  With these limitations in mind, the
company presently believes that any ultimate liability from these
legal or regulatory proceedings or rulings would not have a
material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of
the company.



Forward Looking Statements

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties.  The actual results achieved by
Temple-Inland Inc. may differ significantly from the results
discussed in the forward-looking statements.  Factors that might
cause such differences include general economic, market, or
business conditions; the opportunities or lack thereof that may
or may not be presented to and pursued by Temple-Inland Inc. and
its subsidiaries; availability and price of raw materials used by
Temple-Inland Inc. and its subsidiaries; competitive actions by
other companies; changes in laws or regulations; energy costs and
regulatory actions that may be taken in an effort to alleviate
the energy situation in California; and other factors, many of
which are beyond the control of Temple-Inland Inc. and
subsidiaries.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
         RISK

Interest Rate Risk
The company is subject to interest rate risk from the utilization
of financial instruments such as adjustable-rate debt and other
borrowings as well as the lending and deposit gathering
activities of the Financial Services Group.  The following table
illustrates the estimated effect on pre-tax income of immediate,
parallel, and sustained shifts in interest rates for the
subsequent 12-month period at first quarter-end 2001, with
comparative information at year-end 2000:

                                       Increase (Decrease) in Income
                                               Before Taxes
                                              (in millions)

                                       First Quarter        Year End
Change in Interest Rates                   2001               2000

          +1%                                   (7)             (1)
           0%                                    -               -
          -1%                                    2              (1)
          -2%                                    5             (13)


The change in exposure to interest rate risk from year-end 2000
is primarily due to shorter durations of the Financial Services
Group's funding sources.

The operations of the Financial Services Group's savings bank are
subject to interest rate risk to the extent that interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice at
different times or in differing amounts.  Because approximately
91 percent of the savings bank's assets at quarter-end 2001 have
adjustable rates, this risk is significantly mitigated.  However,
the savings bank is also subject to prepayment risk inherent in a
portion of its single-family adjustable-rate mortgage-backed
assets. A substantial portion of the savings bank's investments
in adjustable-rate mortgage-backed assets have annual and
lifetime caps that subject the savings bank to interest rate risk
should rates rise above certain levels.  From time to time, to
optimize net interest income while maintaining acceptable levels
of interest rate and liquidity risk, the savings bank may enter
into various interest rate contracts to better match assets and
liabilities.


Additionally, the fair value of the Financial Services Group's
mortgage servicing rights (estimated at $159 million at first
quarter-end 2001) is also affected by changes in interest rates.





29




The company estimates that a one percent decline in interest
rates from quarter-end levels would decrease the fair value of
the mortgage servicing rights by approximately $25 million.
During the first quarter 2001, the Financial Services Group sold
servicing rights on $9 billion of mortgage loans in order to
mitigate this risk.  At first quarter-end 2001, the Financial
Services Group serviced $10 billion of mortgage loans compared
with $19.5 billion at year-end 2000.

Foreign Currency Risk
The company's exposure to foreign currency fluctuations on its
financial instruments is not material because most of these
instruments are denominated in U.S. dollars.

Commodity Price Risk
From time to time the company uses commodity derivative
instruments to mitigate its exposure to changes in product
pricing and manufacturing costs.  These instruments cover a small
portion of the company's volume and range in duration from three
months to three years.  Based on the fair value of these
instruments at first quarter-end 2001, the potential loss in fair
value resulting from a hypothetical 10 percent change in the
underlying commodity prices would not be significant.
