P. H. GLATFELTER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

~~(unaudited)~~unaudited

1. ORGANIZATION

P. H. Glatfelter Company and subsidiaries (“Glatfelter”) is a manufacturer of specialty papers and engineered products. Headquartered in York, Pennsylvania, our manufacturing facilities are located in Spring Grove, Pennsylvania; Chillicothe and Freemont, Ohio; Gloucestershire (Lydney), England; Caerphilly, ~~Wales,~~Wales; Gernsbach, Germany; Scaë~~r, France~~r; France; and the Philippines. Our products are marketed throughout the United States and in over 85 other countries, either through wholesale paper merchants, brokers and agents or directly to customers.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Glatfelter and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Accounting EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingencies as of the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are reasonable, based upon currently available facts and known circumstances, but recognizes that actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.

3. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). This standard defines the term “fair value”, establishes a framework for measurement and requires expanded disclosures about the fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS No. 157, did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” was issued. This statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS No. 141(R) also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. In addition, under SFAS No. 141(R), changes in an acquired entity’s deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. With respect to us, SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. However, after adoption of SFAS No. 141(R), changes in estimates of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and final settlements of all income tax uncertainties that related to a business combination which are made after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. We expect SFAS No. 141(R) will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time.

In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) No. EITF No. 03-6-1 “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities.” This FSP affects entities that accrue cash dividends on share-based payment awards during the awards’ service period when the dividends do not need to be returned if the employees forfeit the award. The FSP requires that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders and are considered participating securities. The provisions of FSP No. EITF No. 03-6-1 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the requirements of FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, to determine the impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.

4. ACQUISITIONS

Metallised Products LimitedOn November 30, 2007, through Glatfelter-UK Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary, we completed our acquisition of Metallised Products Limited (“MPL”), a privately owned company that manufactures a variety of metallized paper products for consumer and industrial applications. MPL is based in Caerphilly, Wales.

Under terms of the agreement, we purchased the stock of MPL for ~~$7.2~~$6.8 million cash and assumed $5.8 million of debt in addition to $1.5 million of transaction costs. The amounts set forth above reflect a $0.4 million reduction in the original purchase ~~price is subject to adjustments~~ based on final adjusted working capital ~~and other factors.~~as of the closing date. The acquisition, which was financed from our existing cash ~~balance. This facility~~balance, employed about 165 people and had 2007 revenues of approximately $53.4 million.

Approximately 688,500 and 691,500 of potential common shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, due to their anti-dilutive nature. Approximately 525,150 and 522,150 of potential common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

7. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The effects of income taxes are measured based on enacted tax laws and rates.

As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had $27.7 million and $26.1 million of gross unrecognized tax ~~benefits. If~~benefits respectively. As of June 30, 2008, if such benefits were to be recognized, approximately ~~$22.3~~$22.0 million would be recorded as a component of income tax expense, thereby affecting our effective tax rate. ~~There were no significant changes to these amounts during the first quarter of 2008.~~

We, or one of our subsidiaries, file income tax returns with the United States Internal Revenue Service, as well as various state and foreign authorities. The following table summarizes tax years that remain subject to examination by major jurisdiction:


	Open Tax Year
	Examination in		Not under
Jurisdiction	progress		examination

Federal		2004 — 2006		2007

United Kingdom		N/A		2006 — 2007
Philippines		~~2004~~2005 — 2006		2007



(1)		— includes provincial or similar local jurisdictions, as applicable

The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which often result in proposed assessments. Management performs a comprehensive review of its global tax positions on a quarterly basis and accrues amounts for uncertain tax positions. Based on these reviews and the result of discussions and resolutions of matters with certain tax authorities and the closure of tax years subject to tax audit, reserves are adjusted as necessary. However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are determined or resolved or as such statutes are closed. Due to potential for resolution of federal, state, and foreign examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitations, it is reasonably possible our gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next twelve months by a range of zero to ~~$1.0~~$0.8 million.

~~GLATFELTER~~

~~- 6 -~~

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. Interest expense ~~was $0.2~~recognized in the second quarter of 2008 totaled $0.04 million ~~for each~~and $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2007. Such amounts were $0.3 million in both the ~~quarters ended March 31,~~first half of 2008 and 2007. Accrued interest was ~~$ 2.0~~$2.0 million and $1.8 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. We did not record any penalties associated with uncertain tax positions during 2008 or 2007.

~~STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION~~

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

During the first ~~three~~six months of 2008, we issued 274,240 Stock Only Stock Appreciation Rights (“SOSAR”) to members of executive management ~~with~~ a grant date strike price of $13.44 per share. Under terms of the SOSAR, the recipients received the right to receive a payment in the form of shares of common stock equal to the difference if any, in the fair market value of one share of common stock at the time of exercising the SOSAR and the strike price. The SOSARs, which vest ratably over a three year period, had a grant date fair value, estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model, of $3.72 per right, and an aggregate value of $1.0 million. In addition, ~~38,610~~136,100 Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”) were issued in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2008 with a weighted-average grant date fair value of ~~$13.44~~$14.48 per unit and an aggregate value of ~~$0.5~~$2.0 million. The RSUs vest over a period ranging from three years to five years.

During the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2008 and 2007, we recognized stock-based compensation expense totaling ~~$1.0~~$2.4 million and ~~$1.1~~$2.1 million, respectively.

The credit agreement, as amended, contains a number of customary covenants for financings of this type that, among other things, restrict our ability to: i) dispose of or create liens on assets; ii) transfer assets between borrowing or guaranteeing subsidiaries and non guaranteeing subsidiaries; iii) incur additional indebtedness; iv) repay other indebtedness; or v) make acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations. We are also required to comply with specified financial tests and ratios, including a consolidated minimum net worth ~~tests~~test, a maximum debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. A breach of these requirements, of which ~~there~~we were ~~none~~not aware of any at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2008, would give rise to certain remedies under the credit agreement as amended, among which are the termination of the agreement and accelerated repayment of the outstanding borrowings plus accrued and unpaid interest under the credit facility.

The 7¹/₈% Senior Note agreement contains a “cross-default” clause that provides if there were to be an event of default under the credit agreement discussed earlier, we would also be in default under the 7¹/₈% Senior Notes.

In November 2007, we sold timberlands and as consideration received a $43.2 million, 20-year interest bearing note receivable from the timberland buyer. In January 2008, we pledged this note as collateral under a $36.7 million term loan (the “2008 Term Loan”) with SunTrust Financial. The 2008 Term Loan matures in five years, and bears interest at a six-month reserve adjusted LIBOR plus a margin rate of 1.20% per annum.

On March 21, 2003, we sold timberlands and received as consideration a $37.9 million 10-year interest bearing note receivable from the timberland buyer. We pledged this note as collateral under a $34.0 million promissory note payable to SunTrust Financial (the “Note Payable”). The Note Payable was scheduled to mature in March 2008. In February 2008, we amended the Note Payable to extend its maturity until March 26, 2013. Beginning on March 26, 2008, the Note Payable bears a fixed rate of interest of 3.10%.

The notes receivable, discussed in the preceding paragraphs, aggregating $81.1 million, are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Other assets.”

P. H. Glatfelter Company guarantees debt obligations of all its subsidiaries. All such obligations are recorded in these consolidated financial statements.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had ~~$8.1~~$7.1 million and $14.1 million of letters of credit issued to us by certain financial institutions. Such letters of credit, which reduce amounts available under our revolving credit facility, provide i) financial assurances for the benefit of certain state workers compensation insurance agencies in conjunction with our self-insurance program, and ii) assurance related to the purchase of certain utilities for our manufacturing facilities. We bear the credit risk on this amount to the extent that we do not comply with the provisions of certain agreements. No amounts are outstanding under the letters of credit.

13. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION

During the second quarter of 2008, we recorded $7.2 million of asset retirement obligations related to the legal requirement to close 19 lagoons at the Spring Grove, PA facility. The lagoons are currently being used to dispose of residual waste material. Closure of the lagoons, which is expected to occur over the next several years, not to exceed ten years, will be accomplished by disposing in the lagoons certain non-hazardous sludge, ash and other residual material currently produced by the mill. This will be followed by the placement of a cover comprised primarily of purchased clay and top soil to construct the required cap over the lagoons. The ultimate time period over which the lagoons are closed is dependent upon the plan to be agreed and approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. The amounts referred to above were accrued with a corresponding increase in the carrying value of the property, equipment and timberlands caption on the consolidated balance sheet. The amount capitalized will be amortized as a charge to operations on a systematic basis in relation to the expected closure period.

Fox River — Neenah, Wisconsin

BackgroundWe have significant uncertainties associated with environmental claims arising out of the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”) in sediments in the lower Fox River and in the Bay of Green Bay Wisconsin (“Site”). As part of the 1979 acquisition of the Bergstrom Paper Company we acquired a facility

GLATFELTER

- 9 -

located at the Site (the “Neenah Facility”). In part, the Neenah Facility used wastepaper as a source of fiber. At no time did the Neenah Facility utilize PCBs in the pulp and paper making process, but discharges to the lower Fox River from the Neenah Facility which may have contained PCBs from wastepaper may have occurred from 1954 to the late 1970s. Any PCBs that our Neenah Facility discharged into the lower Fox River resulted from the presence of PCBs in NCR^®-brand carbonless copy paper in the wastepaper that was recycled at the Neenah Facility. We closed the Neenah Facility in June 2006.

The United States, the State of Wisconsin and various state and federal governmental agencies (collectively, the “Governments”), as well as private parties, have found PCBs in sediments on the bed of the Fox River, apparently from a number of sources at municipal and industrial facilities along the upstream and downstream portions of the Site. The Governments have identified manufacturing and recycling of NCR^®-brand carbonless copy paper as the principal source of that contamination.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has divided the lower Fox River and the Bay of Green Bay site into five “operable units” numbered from the most upstream (“OU1”) to the most downstream (“OU5”). OU1 is the reach from primarily Lake Winnebago to the dam at Appleton, and is comprised of Little Lake Butte des Morts. Our Neenah Facility discharged its wastewater into OU1. OU2 extends from the dam at Appleton to the dam at Little Rapids, OU3 from the dam at Little Rapids to the dam at De Pere, OU4

~~GLATFELTER~~

~~- 8 -~~

from the dam at De Pere to the mouth of the river, and OU5 from the mouth into the lower portion of Green Bay. The river extends 39 miles from the upstream end of OU1 to the downstream end of OU4.

Our liabilities, if any, for this contamination primarily arise under the federal Comprehensive Environmental, Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA” or “Superfund”). The Governments have sought to recover “response actions” or “response costs,” which are the costs of studying and cleaning up contamination, from various “responsible parties.” In addition, various natural resource trustee agencies of the United States, the States of Wisconsin and Michigan, and several Indian Tribes have sought to recover natural resource damages (“NRDs”), including natural resource damage assessment costs. Parties that have incurred response costs or NRDs either voluntarily or in response to the governments’ and trustees’ demands may have an opportunity to seek contribution or other recovery of some or all of those costs from other parties who are jointly and severally responsible under Superfund for those costs. Therefore, as we incur costs, we also acquire a claim against other parties who may not have paid their equitable share of ~~such~~those costs. As others incur costs, they

acquire a claim against us to the extent that they claim that we have not paid our equitable share of the total. Any party that resolves its liability to the United States or a state in a judicially or administratively approved settlement agreement obtains protection from contribution claims for matters addressed in the settlement.

For these reasons, all of the parties who are potentially responsible (“PRPs”) under CERCLA for response costs or NRDs have exposure to liability for: (a) the cost of past response actions taken by anyone else, (b) the cost of past NRD payments or restoration projects incurred by anyone else, (c) the cost of response actions to be taken in the future, and (d) NRDs. All of this exposure is subject to substantial defenses, including, for example, that the PRP is not liable or not jointly and severally liable for any particular cost or damage, that the cost or damage is not recoverable under CERCLA or any other law, or that the recovery is barred by the passage of time. In addition, a party that has incurred or committed to incur costs or has paid NRDs may be able to claim credit for that cost or payment in any equitable allocation of response costs or NRDs in any action for reallocation of costs.

Cleanup Decisions.Our liability exposure depends importantly on the decisions made by EPA and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (“WDNR”) as to how the Site will be cleaned up, and consequently the costs and timing of those response actions. The nature of the response actions has been highly controversial. EPA issued a record of decision (“ROD”) selecting

response actions for OU1 and OU2 in December 2002. EPA issued a separate ROD selecting response actions for OU3, OU4, and OU5 in March 2004.

As the result of continuing discussions with parties other than us, as well as our experience in OU1 (discussed below), EPA amended the ~~RODs~~ROD for OU2-5 in June 2007 to rely less on dredging and more on capping and covering of sediments containing PCBs. The governments project that these methods will allow certain costs to be lower for this portion of the cleanup. In June 2008, EPA ~~has also proposed to amend~~amended the ~~2002~~ ROD for OU1 ~~but that amendment has not yet been issued.~~.

NRD Assessment.The natural resources trustees have engaged in work to assess NRDs at and arising from the Site. However, they have not completed a required NRD Assessment under the pertinent regulations. The trustees’ estimate of NRDs ranges from $176 million to $333 million, some of which has already been satisfied. With specific respect to NRD claims, we ~~contend~~contended that the trustees’ claims are barred by the applicable 3 year statute of limitations.

Work Under Agreements, Orders, and Decrees.As we mention above, our exposure to liability depends

GLATFELTER

-10-

on the amount of work done, costs incurred, and damages paid both by us and by others. The procedural context of the work done, costs incurred, and damages paid also matters.

Since 1991, the Governments and various groups of potentially responsible parties, including us, have entered into a series of agreements, orders, and decrees under which we and others have performed work, incurred costs, or paid damages in connection with the Site. As a result, some parties have contributed or performed substantial work at the Site and at least one party, Fort Howard Corporation (whose successor is either the Fort James Operating Company or Georgia Pacific Corporation) has resolved its NRD liability at the Site.

Notably, in April 2004, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin entered a consent decree (“OU1 Consent Decree”) inUnited States v. P.H. Glatfelter Co., No. 2:03-cv-949, under which we and WTM I Corp. have been implementing the remedy in OU1, dividing costs evenly in addition to a $7 million contribution from Menasha Corp. and a $10 million contribution that the United States contributed from a separate settlement inUnited States v. Appleton Papers Inc., No. 2:01-cv-816, obligating NCR and Appleton Papers to contribute to certain NRD projects. In June 2008, the parties entered into an amendment to the OU1 Consent Decree. The amendment allows for implementation of the amended remedy for OU1. It also commits us and WTM I to implement that remedy without a cost limitation on that commitment. The amended OU1 Consent Decree has been lodged with the court, but has not yet been entered by the court. The amended OU1 Consent Decree, by its terms, binds the parties unless the United States withdraws its consent or the court denies a motion to enter the consent decree.

~~GLATFELTER~~

~~- 9 -~~

Further, in November 2007, EPA issued an administrative order for remedial action (“UAO”) to Appleton Papers Inc., CBC Coating, Inc. (formerly known as Riverside Paper Corporation), Georgia-Pacific Consumer Products, L.P. (formerly known as Fort James Operating Company), Menasha Corporation, NCR Corporation, us, U.S. Paper Mills Corp., and WTM I Company directing those respondents to implement the amended remedy in OU2-5. We have no obligation to assist in that effort until August 2008. We understand that others have commenced designing that remedy and procuring certain equipment and real estate necessary to its implementation.

Cost estimates.Estimates of the Site remediation change over time as we, or others, gain additional experience. In addition, disagreement exists over the likely costs for some of this work. WeThe Governments estimate that the total cost of implementing the amended

remedy in OU1 will be ~~between $93 million and $137~~approximately $102 million. Because we have completed a significant amount of work in this portion of the river, we believe the costs of completing the remedial actions specified in the amended ROD can be completed for this amount. However, it is reasonably possible costs could exceed this amount by up to $10 million. The cost of implementing the remedy set forth in the amended ROD for OU2-5 (the downstream portions of the Site) is estimated by the Governments to total between $270 million and $499 million, reflecting a contingency factor of plus or minus 30%. However, based on independent estimates commissioned by various potentially responsible parties, we believe the actual costs to be incurred to implement the remedy of ~~OU2-5~~OU2 — 5 will exceed the Government’s estimate by a significant amount.

NRDs.The trustees claim that we are jointly and severally responsible for NRDs with a value between $176 million and $333 million. We deny (a) liability for most of these NRDs, (b) that if anyone is liable, that we are jointly and severally liable for the full amount, and (c) that the trustees can pursue this claim at this late date as the limitations period for NRD claims is three years from discovery.

Allocation.Since 1991, various potentially responsible parties have, without success, attempted to agree on a binding, final, allocation of costs and damages among themselves. All costs that they have incurred to date have been incurred individually, or under interim, nonbinding allocations. However, the consent decree inUnited States v. P.H. Glatfelter Co.affords us and WTM I contribution protection for claims seeking to reallocate costs of implementing the OU1 remedy, and Fort James Operating Co. (now Georgia-Pacific) has certain rights under its consent decree. Otherwise, the parties have not litigated their internal allocation with us.

NCR and Appleton Papers Inc. have commenced litigation in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin captionedAppleton Papers

Inc. v. George A. Whiting Paper Co., No. 2:08-cv-16, seeking to reallocate costs and damages allegedly incurred or paid or to be incurred or paid by NCR or Appleton Papers. They have to date joined as22 defendants:us, George A. Whiting Paper Co., Menasha Corporation, Green Bay Packaging Inc., International Paper Company, Leicht Transfer & Storage Company, Neenah Foundry Company, Newpage Wisconsin System Inc., The Procter & Gamble Paper Products Company, ~~and~~ Wisconsin Public Service Corp. the Cities of Appleton, De Pere, Green Bay, and Kaukauna, Brown County, Green Bay Metropolitan Sewerage District, Heart of the Valley Metropolitan Sewerage District, Neenah-Menasha Sewerage Commission, the Villages of Kimberly and Wrightstown, WTM I Company, and U.S. Paper Mills Corporation. That litigation may be expected to result in an allocation of responsibility, at least as between these parties.

We contend that we are not jointly and severally liable for costs or damages arising from the presence of PCBs downstream of OU1. In addition, we contend that

GLATFELTER

-11-

NCR or other sources of NCR^®~~-brand~~ - brand carbonless copy paper that our Neenah Mill recycled bear most of the responsibility for costs and damages arising from the presence of PCBs in OU1. Other parties disagree.

To date we have spent or have committed to spend approximately ~~$40~~$50 million implementing the remedy in OU1, and under the various agreements, orders, and decrees under which we and others have performed work, incurred costs, or paid damages in connection with the Site.

Reserves for the Fox River SiteWe and WTM I have been funding the OU1 remedy by depositing funds in an OU1 Escrow Account and then paying for work out of that account. At March 31, 2008, the remaining OU1 Escrow Account balance totaled $18 million. During the first quarter of 2008 amounts deposited to the OU1 Escrow Account consisted of $7 million from Menasha and an additional $6.0 million from us, and $2.0 million from WTMI.

As a result of the recent developments concerning the Fox River including: (i) our revised cost estimates for the revised final plan for OU1; (ii) developments in the ongoing PRP mediation and discussions with other PRPs; and (iii) the then anticipated issuance of the UAO by the United States; In 2007 we recorded an additional ~~charge~~charges of $6 million in the first quarter ~~of 2007~~ and $20 million in the third quarter, ~~2007~~ to satisfy both our obligations at OU1 and all pending, threatened or asserted and unasserted claims against us for the Fox River including our claimed liability for the remediation of ~~OU3-5.~~OU3-5 as a result of the developments concerning the Fox River including our revised cost estimates for OU1. These additional charges represent our current assessment of the ultimate costs to be incurred by us associated with the revised final plan for OU1 and any settlement of liability for NRDs and for remediation of OU 2-5. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2008, our reserve for the Fox River environmental liability totaled ~~$26.5~~$26.3 million. Of the total reserve, ~~$7.0~~$6.8 million is recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Environmental liabilities” and the remaining $19.5 million is recorded under the caption “Other long term ~~liabilities”.~~

~~GLATFELTER~~

~~-10-~~

liabilities.” Our reserve includes amounts originally established prior to 2002 and adjustments in the first and third quarter of 2007 increasing the liability by ~~$26~~$26.0 million offset by expenditures related to remediation activities.

We and WTM I have been funding the OU1 remedy by depositing funds in an OU1 Escrow Account and then paying for work out of that account. At June 30,2008, the remaining OU1 Escrow Account balance totaled $13.7 million. During the first six months of 2008, Menasha contributed $7 million to the OU1 Escrow Account. In addition, WTM I and we committed to contribute an additional $9.5 million each, and contributions, or security for later contributions, have been posted according to the agreed schedule. Of the total commitment, we funded $3.5 million on July 15, 2008 and obtained a letter of credit guaranteeing payment of the balance.

We believe that we have strong defenses to liability for remediation of OU2-5 including the existence of ample data that indicates that PCBs did not leave OU1 in concentrations that could have caused or contributed to the need for cleanup in OU2-5. Others, including the EPA and other PRPs, disagree with us and, as a result, the EPA has issued a UAO to us and to others to perform the OU2-5 work. NCR and Appleton Papers have recently commenced the Whiting Litigation and have joined us and others. Additional litigation associated with the remediation of the Site is likely. As illustrated by the Whiting Litigation, we also

note that there exist additional potentially responsible parties other than the PRPs who were named in the UAO or who have been joined in the Whiting Litigation, including the owners of public wastewater treatment facilities who discharged PCB-contaminated wastewater to the Fox River and entities providing PCB-containing wastepaper to each of the recycling mills.

Even if we are not successful in establishing that we are not liable for the remediation of OU2-5, we do not believe that we would be allocated a significant percentage share of liability in any equitable allocation of the remediation costs and other potential damages associated with OU2-5. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include reserves for any future litigation or defense costs for the Fox River, and because litigation has commenced, the costs to do so could be significant.

In setting our reserve for the Fox River, we have assessed our defenses to liability, including matters raised in the Whiting Litigation, and assumed that we will not bear the entire cost of remediation and damages to the exclusion of other known PRPs at the Site who are also potentially jointly and severally liable. The existence and ability of other PRPs to participate has also been taken into account in setting our reserve, and is generally based on our evaluation of recent publicly available financial information on each PRP, and any known insurance, indemnity or cost sharing agreements between PRPs and third parties. In addition, our assessment is based upon the magnitude, nature, location and circumstances associated with the various discharges of PCBs to the river and the relationship of those discharges to identified contamination. We will continue to evaluate our exposure and the level of our reserves, including, but not limited to, our potential share of the costs and NRDs, if any, associated with the Fox River site.

Other than with respect to the OU1 Consent Decree, the amount and timing of future expenditures for environmental compliance, cleanup, remediation and

personal injury, NRDs and property damage liabilities cannot be ascertained with any certainty due to, among other things, the unknown extent and nature of any contamination, the response actions that may ultimately be required, the availability of remediation equipment, and landfill space, and the number and financial resources of any other PRPs.

Other InformationThe Wisconsin DNR and FWS have each published studies, the latter in draft form, estimating the amount of PCBs discharged by each identified PRP to the lower Fox River and the Bay of Green Bay. These reports estimate the Neenah Facility’s share of the volumetric discharge to be as high as 27%. We do not believe the volumetric estimates used in these

GLATFELTER

-12-

studies are accurate because (a) the studies themselves disclose that they are not accurate and (b) the volumetric estimates contained in the studies are based on assumptions that are unsupported by existing data on the Site. We believe that our volumetric contribution is significantly lower than the estimates set forth in these studies. Further, we do not believe that a volumetric allocation would constitute an equitable allocation of the potential liability for the contamination. Other factors, such as the location of contamination, the location of discharge, and a party’s role in causing discharge, must be considered in order for the allocation to be equitable.

We previously entered into interim cost-sharing agreements with four of the other PRPs, which provided for those PRPs to share certain costs relating to scientific studies of PCBs discharged at the Site (“Interim Cost Sharing Agreements”). These interim cost-sharing agreements do not establish the final allocation of remediation costs incurred at the Site. Based upon our evaluation of the volume, nature and location of the various discharges of PCBs at the Site and the relationship of those discharges to identified contamination, we believe our allocable share of liability at the Site is less than our share of costs under the Interim Cost Sharing Agreements.

While the OU1 Consent Decree, as amended, provides a negotiated framework for resolving both our and WTM I’s liability for the remediation of OU1, it does not resolve our exposure at the Site. The OU1 Consent Decree does not address response costs necessary to remediate the remainder of the Site and only addresses NRDs and claims for reimbursement of government expenses to a limited extent. Because CERCLA imposes strict joint and several liability, uncertainty persists regarding our exposure with respect to the remainder of the Fox River site. In addition, as mentioned previously, EPA has issued a UAO to us and others calling for further work in OU2-5, and Appleton Papers and NCR have commenced the Whiting Litigation that may become more complicated and involve additional parties. We cannot

~~GLATFELTER~~

~~-11-~~

predict the outcome of the Whiting Litigation or any other litigation or regulatory actions related to this matter.

Range of Reasonably Possible OutcomesOur analysis of the range of reasonably possible outcomes is derived from all available information, including but not limited to official documents such as RODs, discussions with the United States and other PRPs, as well as legal counsel and engineering consultants. Based on our analysis of the current RODs and cost estimates for work to be performed at the Site, we believe that it is

reasonably possible that our costs associated with the Fox River matter may exceed our reserve for the Fox River matter by amounts that are insignificant or that could range up to $195 million,over a period that is currently undeterminable but that could range beyond 15 years. We believe that the likelihood of an outcome in the upper end of the monetary range is significantly less than other possible outcomes within the range and that the possibility of an outcome in excess of the upper end of the monetary range is remote.

Based on currently available information, we believe that the remaining work to complete the remediation of OU1 ~~as proposed in a revised work plan that we and WTM I have submitted to the Governments in anticipation of a revised OU1 ROD (“Revised Final Plan”),~~ can be completed with the amounts in the OU1 Escrow Account, and the amounts committed to be contributed by us and WTM I. Our assessment assumes that: 1) anthe court ultimately enters the amended ~~ROD for~~ OU1 ~~(“Revised OU1 ROD”) that is largely consistent with the Revised Final Plan is issued shortly by the United States;~~Consent Decree; 2) we and WTM I successfully negotiate acceptable contracts ~~to perform~~covering the work provided for in the ~~Revised~~amended OU1 ROD; and 3) the remedial measures provided in the ~~Revised~~amended OU1 ROD are successfully implemented. However, if we are unsuccessful in managing our costs to implement the ~~Revised Final Plan~~amended OU1 ROD, additional charges may be necessary and such amounts could be material.

SummaryOur current assessment is that we will be able to manage these environmental matters without a long-term, material adverse impact on the Company. These matters could, however, at any particular time or for any particular year or years, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity and/or results of operations or could result in a default under our loan covenants. Moreover, there can be no assurance that our reserves will be adequate to provide for future obligations related to these matters, that our share of costs and/or damages for these matters will not exceed our available resources, or that such obligations will not have a long-term, material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. With regard to the Fox River site, if we are not successful in managing the completion of the remaining remedial work at OU1 and/or should the United States seek to enforce the UAO for OU2-5 against

us which requires us to either perform directly or contribute significant amounts towards the performance of that work, such developments could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity and results of operations and may result in a default under our loan covenants.

With respect to the reserves set forth above as of March 31, 2008, $5.9 million is recorded under the caption “Other current liabilities” and $0.9 million is recorded under the caption “Other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

~~The following discussion provides more details on each of these matters.~~

~~Background Information~~In August 2001, pursuant to an acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”), we sold the assets of our Ecusta Division to four related entities, consisting of Purico (IOM) Limited, an Isle of Man limited liability company (“Purico”), RF&Son Inc. (“RF”), RFS US Inc. (“RFS US”) and RFS Ecusta Inc. (“RFS Ecusta”), each of which is a Delaware corporation (collectively, the “Buyers”).

In August 2002, the Buyers shut down the manufacturing operation of the pulp and paper mill in Pisgah Forest, North Carolina, which was the most significant operation of the Ecusta Division. On October 23, 2002, RFS Ecusta and RFS US (the “Debtors”) separately filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The bankruptcy cases were later converted to Chapter 7 proceedings. Effective August 8, 2003, the assets of RFS Ecusta and RFS US, which substantially consist of the pulp and paper mill and related real property, were sold to several third parties unrelated to the Buyers (the “New Buyers”).

~~GLATFELTER~~

~~-12-~~

~~Ecusta Environmental Matters~~Beginning in April 2003, government authorities, including the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (“NCDENR”), initiated discussions with us and the New Buyers regarding, among other environmental issues, certain landfill closure liabilities associated with the Ecusta mill and its properties (the “Ecusta Property”). The discussions focused on NCDENR’s desire to establish a plan and secure financial resources to close three landfills located at the Ecusta Property and to address other environmental matters at the facility. During the third quarter of 2003, the discussions ended with NCDENR’s conclusion to hold us responsible for the closure of three landfills. Accordingly, we established reserves approximating $7.6 million representing estimated closure costs. In March 2004 and September 2005, NCDENR issued us separate orders requiring the closure of two of the three landfills at issue. We have completed the closure of these two landfills and are in the process of closing the third; in addition, we have accepted responsibility for decommissioning a fourth landfill (collectively, the “Landfill Closure and Post-Closure Obligations”).

In September 2005, we established a $2.7 million reserve for potential environmental liabilities associated with the Ecusta Property relating to: (i) mercury releases from the Electro-Chemical Building; (ii) contamination in and operation of the aeration and stabilization basin (the “ASB”), which is part of the Ecusta Property’s wastewater treatment system; (iii) a previously closed ash landfill (“Brown #1 Landfill”); and (iv) contamination in the vicinity of a former caustic building.

On November 15, 2006, Olin Corporation (“Olin”), a former owner of the Ecusta Property, filed a First Amended Complaint against us in the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina asking the court for a declaratory judgment that under the terms of a Purchase Agreement, Olin is not liable for certain environmental contamination that occurred at the Ecusta Property during the time period when Olin owned such facility. We answered and filed a counterclaim against Olin, alleging claims for (i) fraud and fraudulent omissions; (ii) negligent misrepresentation; and (iii) violation of the North Carolina Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Specifically, we alleged that Olin had knowledge of extensive environmental contamination at the Ecusta Property, but that it had concealed this information in the course of negotiating the sale of the property in 1985 to our predecessor. The parties are currently engaged in the discovery process. We intend to vigorously defend and prosecute this action.

~~Recent Activities~~~~On January 25, 2008, we entered into a series of agreements (the “DRV Transaction”) pursuant to which we transferred potential liabilities for certain~~

environmental matters at the Ecusta Property to Davidson River Village, LLC (“DRV”), which contemporaneously purchased the facility from the New Buyers. As part of the DRV Transaction, DRV assumed, and indemnified us for, liability arising from environmental matters and conditions at the Ecusta Property with certain enumerated exceptions, including the Landfill Closure and Post-Closure Obligations and investigation and remediation (if necessary) of any pollutants that may have migrated from the Ecusta Property to the Davidson and French Broad Rivers (the “River Areas”), which liabilities were retained by us.

DRV’s assumption of liability and indemnification of us was secured in a number of ways: (i) an escrow account was established in the amount of $4.4 million, of which we contributed $2.2 million, to pay for the estimated cost of the assessment and remediation of on-site mercury contamination at the Ecusta Property; (ii) DRV caused two irrevocable letters of credit totaling $7.0 million to be issued by Bank of America in our favor; and (iii) DRV purchased an insurance policy that provides insurance coverage in the event mercury remediation costs exceed $11.4 million in addition to $25 million of potential third party liability. Thus, in consideration of the amount we contributed to the escrow account and bearing a share of the cost of the insurance policies, our potential liability for future claims with respect to the previously disclosed environmental matters has been transferred to DRV. Our reserve associated with this matter was adequate to cover the amounts contributed towards resolution of these matters. As of March 31, 2008, approximately $2.7 million of amounts held in escrow related to the DRV Transaction are recorded in the accompanying balance sheet under the caption “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and a corresponding reserve for potential liabilities in the same amount is recorded under the caption “Other current liabilities.” Notwithstanding our contractual and legal agreements pursuant to the DRV transaction, we remain contingently liable in the unlikely event DRV fails to perform and the letters of credit and the insurance policy are insufficient to satisfy the remediation required by EPA.

With respect to the River Areas, we entered into two agreements with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and/or NCDENR. Specifically, we agreed to determine the nature and extent of contamination and threat to the public health, welfare or the environment caused by hazardous substances released from the Ecusta Property to the River Areas and, if necessary, to identify and evaluate remedial alternatives to prevent, mitigate or remedy such a release. In the event the results of this study indicate the existence of a material contamination, additional activities may be required and further charges could be necessary.

~~Workers’ Compensation~~Prior to 2003, we established reserves related to potential workers’ compensation claims associated with the former Ecusta Division, which at that time were estimated to total approximately $2.2 million. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the North Carolina courts issued a ruling that held us liable for workers’ compensation claims of certain employees injured during their employment at the Ecusta facility prior to our sale of the Division. Since this ruling, we have made payments as indicated in the reserve analysis presented earlier in this Note.

During 2006, we reached an agreement with the trustee in the bankruptcy proceeding involving the Debtors pursuant to which we agreed to release $3.1 million of amounts held in escrow. We also assigned our claims against certain of the Debtors to the trustee and we agreed we would receive a percentage of the trustee’s recoveries from the Debtors. In the first quarter of 2008, we recorded a $1.5 million recovery in a litigation matter, net of related legal fees, representing our share of the trustee’s settlement with the Debtors.

~~In addition to the specific matters discussed above, we are subject to loss contingencies resulting from regulation by various federal, state, local and foreign~~

governments with respect to the environmental impact of our mills. To comply with environmental laws and regulations, we have incurred substantial capital and operating expenditures in past years. We anticipate that environmental regulation of our operations will continue to become more burdensome and that capital and operating expenditures necessary to comply with environmental regulations will continue, and perhaps increase, in the future. In addition, we may incur obligations to remove or mitigate the adverse effects, if any, on the environment resulting from our operations, including the restoration of natural resources and liability for personal injury and for damages to property and natural resources.

We are also involved in other lawsuits that are ordinary and incidental to our business. The ultimate outcome of these lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty; however, we do not expect that such lawsuits in the aggregate or individually will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein and Glatfelter’s Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in its our Annual Report on Form ~~10-K.~~10-K..

Forward-Looking StatementsThis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding industry prospects and future consolidated financial position or results of operations, made in this Report on Form 10-Q are forward looking. We use words such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “future”, “intends” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from such expectations. The following discussion includes forward-looking statements regarding expectations of, among others, net sales, costs of products sold, environmental costs, capital expenditures and liquidity, all of which are inherently difficult to predict. Although we make such statements based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from our expectations. Accordingly, we identify the following important factors, among others, which could cause our results to differ from any results that might be projected, forecasted or estimated in any such forward-looking statements:

i.		changes in the cost or availability of raw materials we use, in particular pulpwood, market pulp, pulp substitutes, and abaca fiber;

ii.		changes in energy-related costs and commodity raw materials with an energy component;

iii.		variations in demand for, or pricing of, our products;

iv.		our ability to develop new, high value-added Specialty Papers and Composite Fibers products;

v.		the impact of competition, changes in industry paper production capacity, including the construction of new mills, the closing of mills and incremental changes due to capital expenditures or productivity increases;

vi.		the gain or loss of significant customers and/or on-going viability of such customers;

vii.

cost and other effects of environmental compliance, cleanup, damages, remediation or restoration, or personal injury or property damages related thereto, such as the costs of natural resource restoration or damages related to the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”) in the lower Fox River on which our former Neenah mill was located;


viii.		risks associated with our international operations, including local economic and political environments and fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

ix.		geopolitical events, including war and terrorism;

x.		enactment of adverse state, federal or foreign tax or other legislation or changes in government policy or regulation;

xi.		adverse results in litigation;

xii.		our ability to successfully execute our timberland strategy to realize the value of our timberlands; and

xiii.		our ability to finance, consummate and integrate future acquisitions.

IntroductionWe manufacture, both domestically and internationally, a wide array of specialty papers and engineered products. Substantially all of our revenue is earned from the sale of our products to customers in numerous markets, including book publishing, envelope & converting, carbonless papers and forms, food and beverage, decorative laminates for furniture and flooring, metalized papers and other highly technical niche markets.

OverviewOur results of operations for the first ~~quarter~~half of 2008 when compared towith the ~~first quarter~~same period of 2007 reflect ~~favorable~~stable demand trends and improved pricing conditions in each of our business units.

~~Specialty Papers~~ However, each of our business units’ results in the first ~~quarter~~half of 2008 ~~benefitted~~were adversely impacted by significantly higher input costs.

Specialty Papers’ results in 2008 compared to 2007 benefited from initiatives implemented in the second half of 2007 to improve the operational effectiveness and overall profitability of the Chillicothe facility. ~~This favorable factor was partially offset by rising input costs and unplanned downtime at both of the business unit’s facilities.~~

Composite Fibers’ results in the first ~~quarter~~half of 2008 were adversely impacted by operational matters related to lost production associated with the ~~start up a newly upgraded machine in Composite Fibers’ Lydney, U.K. facility.~~upgrades of paper machines at two of its facilities, and lower production output due to the tight supply of abaca fiber. In addition, the inclusion of the November 2007 acquisition of the Caerphilly facility was slightly dilutive to this business unit’s results.

Business UnitsResults of individual business units are presented based on our management accounting practices and management structure. There is no comprehensive, authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; therefore, the financial results of individual business units are not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other company. The management accounting process uses assumptions and allocations to measure performance of the business units. Methodologies are refined from time to time as management accounting practices are enhanced and businesses change. The costs incurred by support areas not directly aligned with the business unit are allocated primarily based on an estimated utilization of support area services or are included in “Other and Unallocated” in the table above.

Management evaluates results of operations of the business units before non-cash pension income, charges related to the Fox River environmental reserves, restructuring related charges, unusual items, certain corporate level costs, effects of asset dispositions and insurance recoveries because it believes this is a more meaningful representation of the operating performance of its core papermaking businesses, the profitability of business units and the extent of cash flow generated from core operations. Such amounts are presented under the caption “Other and Unallocated.” This presentation is closely aligned with the management and operating structure of our company. It is also on this basis that the Company’s performance is evaluated internally and by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Net sales totaled ~~$305.5~~$625.7 million for the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2008, an increase of ~~$24.5~~$56.6 million, ~~or 8.7%~~or10.0%, compared to the same period a year ago.

In the Specialty Papers business unit, net sales for the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2008 increased ~~$4.0~~$8.7 million to ~~$200.9~~$408.2 million and operating income totaled ~~$11.4~~$10.8 million, an increase of ~~$4.8~~$6.4 million over the previous year. Higher average selling prices contributed ~~$6.0~~$15.0 million of the increase in net sales and volumes shipped increased 4%1.8%. These price and volume increases were partially offset by expected mix changes between carbonless papers and uncoated papers, as well as lower sales of scrap paper. The benefits of higher average selling prices were offset by ~~$9.1~~$20.7 million of higher costs, largely driven by fiber and energy. Unplanned operating downtime at the Spring Grove and Chillicothe facilities also reduced operating results by $1.7 million early in the first half of the current ~~year quarter.~~year. In addition to the net effect of the factors discussed above, the higher operating income for the first ~~quarter~~half of 2008 reflects progress achieved in the last half of 2007 in executing Chillicothe’s profit improvement initiatives.

Non-Cash Pension IncomeNon-cash pension income results from the over-funded status of our pension plans. The amount of pension income recognized each year is determined using various actuarial assumptions and certain other factors, including the fair value of our pension assets as of the beginning of the year. The following summarizes non-cash pension income for the first half of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007:


	Six Months Ended
	June 30
In thousands	2008		2007		Change

Recorded as:
Costs of products sold	$	5,465	$	4,694	$	771
SG&A expense		2,500		1,727		773

Total	$	7,965	$	6,421	$	1,544

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”)expenses decreased $3.0 million in the period-to-period comparison and totaled $49.5 million in the first half of 2008. SG&A decreased in the comparison due to the inclusion in the 2007 period of a $6 million charge for environmental matters in addition to the benefit in the comparison of a $2.0 million recovery in 2008 from the settlement of a litigation matter related to our former Ecusta division, offset by legal fees for matters at that site. The amounts for 2008 also were adversely impacted by foreign currency translation and the inclusion of the Caerphilly acquisition.

Gain on Sales of Plant, Equipment and TimberlandsDuring the first six months of 2008, we completed sales of timberlands which are summarized by the following table:

			$	14,997	$	14,502


2007
Timberlands		3,588	$	9,435	$	9,066

Income taxesOur results of operations for the first six months of 2008 reflect an effective tax rate of 32.2% compared to 40.5% in the same period a year ago. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to tax benefits recorded upon the filing of an international subsidiary’s tax return and the reversal of a tax reserve in a foreign jurisdiction where the statute expired.

Foreign CurrencyWe own and operate paper and pulp mills in Germany, France, the United Kingdom and the Philippines. The local currency in Germany and France is the Euro, in the UK it is the British Pound Sterling, and in the Philippines the currency is the Peso. During the first six months of 2008, Euro functional currency operations generated approximately 21.5% of our sales and 20.1% of operating expenses and British Pound Sterling operations represented 10.6% of net sales and 11.2% of operating expenses. The translation of the results from these international operations into U.S. dollars is subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

The table below summarizes the effect from foreign currency translation on first half 2008 reported results compared to first half 2007:

Net sales totaled $320.2 million for the second quarter of 2008, an increase of $32.1 million, or approximately 11.1%, compared to the same period a year ago.

In the Specialty Papers business unit, net sales for the second quarter of 2008 increased $4.7 million to $207.3 million and the unit had an operating loss of $0.7 million, an improvement of $1.6 million over the previous year. Higher average selling prices contributed $9.0 million of the increase in net sales and volumes shipped were essentially unchanged, although the mix of products was slightly unfavorable primarily due to the expected and continued decline in carbonless and forms markets. Operating income was adversely impacted by higher production costs primarily due to higher raw material prices that increased by $11.6 million largely driven by pulp and energy. During the second quarters of 2008 and 2007, we completed the annually scheduled maintenance outages at its Spring Grove, PA and Chillicothe, OH facilities. These required outages result in increased maintenance spending and reduced production leading to unfavorable manufacturing costs and lower product sales negatively affecting our second quarter results when compared to other quarters. The maintenance outages adversely impacted gross profit by approximately $15.6 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $15.3 million in the same quarter a year ago. During the second quarter, we also incurred $0.4 million in severance costs as we continued to reduce the cost structure at our Chillicothe facility.

Net sales in the Composite Fibers business unit increased $27.4 million, or 32.1% to $112.9 million for the 2008 second quarter, largely due to the November 2007 Caerphilly acquisition and the impact of foreign currency translation. Despite the loss of production and sales volume associated with the rebuild of a paper machine in Gernsbach Germany, operating income was in line with the second quarter of 2007 at $6.8 million. On a constant currency basis, higher average selling prices contributed $3.0 million to operating income and volumes increased approximately 23.4%. The higher volumes were primarily due to shipments of metalized paper from Caerphilly (acquired in November 2007), and, to a lesser extent, greater shipments of composite laminates and food and beverage products. The cost of raw materials, primarily pulps and energy, was $4.9 million higher than a year ago. As expected, Caerphilly was slightly dilutive to second quarter 2008 earnings and as previously announced, the Company continues to expect Caerphilly to be neutral to earnings for 2008 and slightly accretive in 2009. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company completed the previously announced upgrade of a paper machine at the Gernsbach facility. Lost production time during the upgrade period adversely impacted operating income by approximately $0.3 million. In addition, cost of goods sold in the second quarter of 2008 includes $0.7 million of accelerated depreciation to write-off the book value of the paper machine components that were replaced during the upgraded.

Non-Cash Pension IncomeNon-cash pension income results from the over-funded status of our pension plans. The amount of pension income recognized each year is determined using various actuarial assumptions and certain other factors, including the fair value of our pension assets as of the beginning of the year. The following summarizes non-cash pension income for each of the ~~first~~second quarters of 2008 and 2007:

Foreign CurrencyWe own and operate paper and pulp mills in Germany, France, the United Kingdom and the Philippines. The local currency in Germany and France is the Euro, in the UK it is the British Pound Sterling, and in the Philippines the currency is the Peso. During the ~~first three months~~second quarter of 2008, Euro functional currency operations generated approximately ~~21.3%~~21.8 % of our sales and ~~20.2%~~20.1 % of operating expenses and British Pound Sterling operations represented ~~10.2%~~10.9 % of net sales and ~~11.5%~~10.9 % of operating expenses. The translation of the results from these international operations into U.S. dollars is subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

The table below summarizes the effect from foreign currency translation on ~~first~~second quarter 2008 reported results compared to ~~first~~second quarter 2007:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our business is capital intensive and requires ~~significant~~ expenditures for new or enhanced equipment, for environmental compliance matters and to support our business strategy and research and development efforts.

Cash used in operating activities increased ~~$10.6~~$20.7 million in the comparison as the benefits of improved results of operations were more than offset by increased accounts receivables, the use of ~~$9.0~~$9.4 million of cash to fund environmental matters and the payment of ~~$7.9~~to $16.1 million of taxes in 2008 compared with a ~~$4.0~~$1.6 million of tax refund in the same period of 2007.

For all of 2008, capital expenditures are expected to total $52 million to $57 million including a $10 million investment to upgrade the capabilities of one of our inclined-wire paper machines in ~~Germany.~~Germany during the second quarter of 2008.

We recently announced our intentions to invest $38 million in state-of-the-art inclined wire and through air drying technology to upgrade another paper machine at our Gernsbach, Germany facility. This investment is expected to be made in the second half of 2009 and will likely be funded from existing cash balances and available borrowing capacity under our current credit facility.

During the first ~~quarters~~six months of 2008 and 2007, cash dividends paid on common stock totaled ~~$4.1~~approximately $8.2 million ~~and $4.0 million, respectively.~~in each period. Our Board of Directors determines what, if any, dividends will be paid to our shareholders. Dividend payment decisions are based upon then-existing factors and conditions and, therefore, historical trends of dividend payments are not necessarily indicative of future payments.

Changes in cash flows from financing activity in the comparison resulted primarily from net debt repayments in first six months of 2007 totaling $15.6 million, compared to net borrowings in the current year totaling $9.0 million. During the first half of 2008, we completed a $36.7 million borrowing collateralized with a promissory note received in connection with the fourth quarter of 2008, debt, net of cash, increased $10.0 million. We made $3.0 million of scheduled principal payments under our Term Loan. In January 2008, we monetized a note received as consideration from the sale of timberlands. In this monetization, we entered into a new $36.7 million term loan agreement (the “2008 Term Loan”) with a financial institution. The 2008 Term Loan matures in five years, bears interest at a six-month reserve adjusted LIBOR plus a margin rate of 1.20% per annum and is secured by, among other assets, a $43.2 million note received from the buyers of certain2007 installment timberland ~~sold in November 2007.~~sale.

The significant terms of the debt obligations are set forth in Item 1–Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 12.

We are subject to loss contingencies resulting from regulation by various federal, state, local and foreign governmental authorities with respect to the environmental impact of mills we operate, or have operated. To comply with environmental laws and regulations, we have incurred substantial capital and operating expenditures in past years. We anticipate that environmental regulation of our operations will continue to bebecome more burdensome and that capital and operating expenditures necessary to comply with environmental regulations will continue, and perhaps increase, in the future. In addition, we may incur obligations to remove or mitigate any adverse effects on the environment resulting from our operations, including the restoration of natural resources and liability for personal injury and for damages to property and natural resources. See Item 1 – Financial Statements – Note 1314 for a summary of significant environmental matters.

We expect to meet all of our ~~near~~near- and ~~long-term~~longer-term cash needs from a combination of operating cash flow, cash and cash equivalents, sales of timberland, our existing credit facility or other bank lines of credit and other long-term debt. However, as discussed in Item 1 – Financial Statements– Note ~~13,~~14, an unfavorable outcome of various environmental matters could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, liquidity and/or results of operations.

Off-Balance-Sheet ArrangementsAs of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had not entered into any off-balance-sheet arrangements. Financial derivative instruments to which we are a party and guarantees of indebtedness, which solely consist of obligations of subsidiaries and a partnership, are reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets included herein in Item 1 —– Financial Statements.

OutlookInFor the second half of 2008, we expect average selling prices to increase across all product lines in the Specialty Papers business unit. However, the rate of increase in this unit’s input costs is expected to outpace the benefits from higher selling prices. Further, we expect ~~volume~~cost reduction initiatives to mitigate the adverse effects of the rate of increases in input costs compared to increases in selling prices. Volumes shipped in the Specialty Papers business unit during the second ~~quarter~~half of 2008 are expected to be in line with the same ~~quarter~~period of ~~2007 and~~2007.

In the Composite Fibers business unit, higher average selling prices coupled with continuous improvement initiatives are expected to ~~be slightly higher~~more than ~~the first quarter of 2008. In Composite Fibers, shipping volumes~~offset rising input costs. Volumes shipped in this unit during the second ~~quarter~~half of 2008 are expected to ~~exceed 2007 second quarter levels primarily due to the Caerphilly acquisition, and selling prices are expected to~~ be ~~slightly~~ higher than ~~the first quarter of 2008. However, continuing increases in input costs, primarily driven by energy and fiber, may more than offset increased selling prices during the remainder of 2008 compared to~~ the same period of ~~2007.~~2007 reflecting additional volumes attributable to the Caerphilly acquisition.

In connection with the previously announced $38 million investment to install state-of-the-art inclined wire technology and through air drying on a paper machine, we expect to record accelerated depreciation expense, of $0.7 million per quarter through the third quarter of 2009, associated with the upgraded machine components.

We ~~will complete annually scheduled maintenance outages at both Specialty Papers’ facilities~~also expect to record, in the second ~~quarter,~~half of 2008, charges estimated to total $0.5 million to $1.0 million associated with ~~an estimated cost of $0.22 to $0.25 per share.~~

~~We also plan to complete~~new or additional profit improvement initiatives at the upgrade of a paper machine in Germany during the second quarter of 2008. This will require downtime on the machine for the month of June with start up to occur during July. We expect this project to negatively impact earnings per share by $0.01 during each of the second and third quarters of 2008.Chillicothe facility.

Our market risk exposure primarily results from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2008, we had long-term debt outstanding of ~~$328.6~~$318.7 million, of which ~~$94.6~~$84.7 million or ~~28.8%~~26.6 % was at variable interest rates.

The table above presents average principal outstanding and related interest rates for the next five years. Fair values included herein have been determined based upon ~~quoted values for our public traded debt or~~ rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Variable-rate debt outstanding represents borrowings under (i) credit facility that incur interest based on the domestic prime rate or a Eurocurrency rate, at our option, plus a margin; (ii) the term loan that matures in April 2011, under which we are required to make quarterly repayments and (iii) the 2008 Term Loan that bears interest at a six-month reserve adjusted LIBOR plus a margin rate of ~~1.20%~~ 1.2%per annum. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2008, the ~~weighted-average~~weighted average interest rate paid on variable rate debt was ~~4.52%~~4.47%. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in the interest rate on variable rate debt would increase or decrease annual interest expense by $0.9 million.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On May 8, 2008, in conjunction with the Company’s ongoing strategic initiative to monetize the value of its timberlands, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement to sell 246 acres of timberland for $3.25 million in cash to George H. Glatfelter, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and his wife Beverly G. Glatfelter (the “Glatfelters”), subject to closing conditions customary with transactions of this nature. The 246 acres of timberland which was subject to the agreement with the Glatfelters, had been independently appraised and marketed for public sale by the Company. Based on those appraisals and the marketing process that was pursued, the Company and its Board of Directors believe that the sale price agreed to with the Glatfelters constitutes fair market value for the timberland. The sale of this timberland closed on August 8, 2008.

In accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance standards, the proposed sale transaction with the Glatfelters was reviewed and pre-approved by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors as a related party transaction.

A copy of the land sale agreement is filed with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as Exhibit 10.2.
