These financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Georgia-Pacific Corporation Salaried 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the changes in its net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2000 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ Arthur Andersen LLP Atlanta, Georgia June 8, 2001 GEORGIA-PACIFIC CORPORATION SALARIED 401(k) PLAN (Formerly Georgia-Pacific Corporation Savings and Capital Growth Plan) STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR PLAN BENEFITS DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999 2000 1999 -------------- -------------- ASSETS: Contributions receivable: Employer $ 2,497,040 $ 0 Participants 1,875,222 0 -------------- -------------- Total contributions receivable 4,372,262 0 -------------- -------------- Investments, at market value: Interest in master trusts 305,637,720 208,108,328 Mutual funds 1,036,176,205 1,184,503,696 Participant loans 31,115,824 24,448,543 -------------- -------------- Total investments 1,372,929,749 1,417,060,567 -------------- -------------- NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR PLAN BENEFITS $1,377,302,011 $1,417,060,567 ============== ============== The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements.

GEORGIA-PACIFIC CORPORATION SALARIED 401(k) PLAN (Formerly Georgia-Pacific Corporation Savings and Capital Growth Plan) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULE DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999 1. ORGANIZATION AND PLAN DESCRIPTION The following brief description of the Georgia-Pacific Corporation Salaried 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. General The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering certain groups of salaried employees of Georgia-Pacific Corporation (the "Employer" or "Company") and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Effective January 1, 2000, the Plan's name was changed from the Georgia-Pacific Corporation Savings and Capital Growth Plan to the Georgia-Pacific Corporation Salaried 401(k) Plan. Eligible employees may elect to participate in the Plan beginning on the first pay date in any month after completing three full calendar months of service. The participant becomes eligible for matching contributions beginning the first day of the month following completion of one year of service. Plan assets are held in trust funds and are invested on the participants' behalf, with all investment earnings for each fund credited to the accounts of participants based on their proportionate share of the fund. Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (the "Trustee") is the Trustee and custodian of the Plan. Effective January 1, 2000, the Georgia-Pacific Tissue Salaried 401(k) Plan and the Georgia-Pacific Tissue Hourly 401(k) merged into the Plan transferring assets of $24,397,163 on November 20, 2000 and $268,185 on October 16, 2000, respectively. In addition, the CeCorr 401(k) Plan and CeCorr Profit Sharing Plan transferred their assets to the Plan in the amount of $5,053,486 on July 28, 2000 and $19,337,488 on August 1, 2000, respectively. Color-Box Profit Sharing Plan spun off from the Plan transferring assets out of the Plan in the amount of $7,081,469 on July 31, 2000. Contributions The Plan allows participants to contribute up to 15% of their eligible compensation on a before-tax basis subject to annual limitation specified by the Internal Revenue Code. Prior to January 1, 2000, the employer matching contribution was 3.75% of compensation consisting of $.75 for every $1 of before-tax contributions for the first 3% of compensation and $.50 for every $1 of before-tax contributions for the next 3% of compensation. The capital growth component provided for employer contributions to eligible salaried employees, accounts equal to 3% of employees' eligible earnings, not to exceed $3,000. -2- Effective January 1, 2000, the employer match is 100% of before-tax contributions for the first 3% of compensation and $.50 for every $1 of before-tax contributions for the next 5% of compensation. The Employer no longer makes capital growth contributions. Participants of the Plan are 100% vested in their contributions and all prior capital growth contributions. Effective January 1, 2000, employer matching contributions become 100% vested after completion of three years of service. These matching contributions are also 100% vested when an employee reaches age 59 1/2, dies, or becomes disabled. Prior to January 1, 2000, employees were vested in the Company's matching contributions at the rate of 20% for each year of service so that full vesting occurs after five years of service. The Plan allows participant contributions, and any investment income earned thereon, to be allocated between any of the available investment funds offered by the Plan. Participants may change investment allocations at any time. Employer matching contributions are invested based on the allocation chosen by the participant. Contributions are transferred to the Trustee twice a month and invested in the Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund until they can be credited to participants' accounts and invested in accordance with the participants' investment elections. Earnings on the short-term investments are allocated to the participants' accounts balances once each year. Forfeitures Termination of employment for reasons other than retirement, disability, or death results in forfeiture of the nonvested portion of the employer matching contributions. Forfeitures are used to reduce future employer matching contributions. For the year ended December 31, 2000, forfeited balances totaled $386,137, of which $361,733 was used to reduce employer matching contributions for the 2000 plan year. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, forfeited account balances are $424,402 and $399,998, respectively. Withdrawals and Termination A participant may withdraw all or a portion of his/her account balance related to his/her after-tax contributions at any time. For withdrawals of after-tax contributions made in 1987 or later, a portion of such withdrawals will be treated as investment income, subject to income taxes in the year received. Contributions excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes can be withdrawn only in the case of a financial hardship and are subject to taxes in the year received. The withdrawals (either full or partial) are paid in cash and result in a suspension of the right to make participant contributions to the Plan for a period of at least 12 months. In the event of a participant's death, retirement, or disability, the participant or his/her beneficiary may elect to receive his/her entire account balance in cash and/or Georgia-Pacific Corporation--Group Common Stock or Georgia-Pacific Corporation--Timber Group Common Stock. Alternatively, participants may elect an annuity option. If termination occurs for other reasons, only vested amounts are distributed to the participant, and nonvested amounts are forfeited. Such forfeitures are used to reduce the Company's future contributions. If a former participant returns to the employment of the Company within five years of the termination date, previously forfeited amounts are reinstated to the participant's account. Participant Loans The Plan allows participants currently employed by the Company to obtain loans equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their total vested account balances. Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the prime lending rate plus one at the date of origination of the loan. Loan repayments are generally made through payroll deductions and normally must be repaid within a five- year term unless the loan was used to purchase a primary residence, which could extend the term to 15 years. Loans become due and payable in full once a participant terminates employment. Interest rates ranged from 7% to 12.5% during the year ended December 31, 2000. -3- 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Accounting The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Position ("SOP") 99-3, "Accounting for and Reporting of Certain Defined Contribution Plan Investments and Other Disclosure Matters." SOP 99-3 established new disclosure requirements for defined contribution plans. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires plan management to use estimates and assumptions that affect the net assets available for plan benefits and the changes therein. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Investment Valuation Investments are presented at market value. Market values of mutual funds and common stock are determined principally from quotations as reported on various securities exchanges. The net depreciation in the market value of mutual funds in the accompanying statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits reflects the net difference between the market value and cost at the beginning and end of the year for mutual funds held throughout the year as well as the difference between the year-end market value and cost for mutual funds purchased during the year. For mutual funds sold or distributed during the year, the net depreciation reflects the net difference between the market value and the cost at the beginning of the year and the date of disposition. 3. INCOME TAX STATUS The Internal Revenue Service issued a determination letter dated July 22, 1996 stating that the Plan was designed in accordance with applicable Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") requirements as of that date. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. The plan administrator believes that the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement dates. 4.

MASTER TRUSTS Effective June 8, 1994, the assets of the Georgia-Pacific Stock Fund were transferred into the Georgia-Pacific Stock Fund Master Trust (the "Master Trust"). The Master Trust was established to hold, administer, and invest the assets of the Georgia-Pacific Stock Funds of certain defined contribution plans qualified under Internal Revenue Code section 401(k) administered by the Company. On December 16, 1997, the shareholders of the Company approved the conversion of all Georgia-Pacific Common Stock into Georgia-Pacific Corporation--Georgia-Pacific Group Common Stock and to distribute one share of a new class of Common Stock, Georgia-Pacific Corporation--Timber Group Common Stock. As a result, the assets of the Master Trust were transferred on a pro rata basis into the newly created Georgia-Pacific Group Stock Fund Master Trust ("Group Master Trust") and the Georgia-Pacific Timber Stock Fund Master Trust ("Timber Master Trust"). The market values of the master trusts are allocated to the individual participating plans based on the relative value of the assets of each plan. Interest income, dividends, and gains and losses (both realized and unrealized) are allocated daily to the individual participating plans based on the relative market values at the beginning of each day. The Plan's interest in the Group Master Trust as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and for the years then ended is approximately 71% and 72%, respectively.

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS Certain plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by the Trustee and shares of common stock of the Company, the administrator of the Plan. As such, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. 8. RECONCILIATION TO THE FORM 5500 The Plan's net assets available for plan benefits at December 31, 2000 and 1999 include $1,619,349 and $7,429,432, respectively, for participants who have elected distributions but have not yet been paid.
