Canfor Pulp Products Inc.

First Quarter 2013

Management's Discussion and Analysis

This interim Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") provides a review of Canfor Pulp Products Inc.'s ("CPPI" or "the Company") financial performance for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 relative to the quarters ended December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, and the financial position of the Company at March 31, 2013. It should be read in conjunction with CPPI's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, as well as the 2012 annual MD&A and the 2012 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in CPPI's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2012 (available at www.canforpulp.com). The financial information in this interim MD&A has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), which is the required reporting framework for Canadian publicly accountable enterprises.

Throughout this discussion, reference is made to operating income before amortization which CPPI considers to be a relevant indicator for measuring trends in the Company's performance and its ability to generate funds to meet its debt service and capital expenditure requirements, and to pay dividends. Operating income before amortization is not a generally accepted earnings measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flows as determined in accordance with IFRS. As there is no standardized method of calculating this measure, CPPI's operating income before amortization may not be directly comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of operating income before amortization to operating income (loss) reported in accordance with IFRS is included in this MD&A.

Factors that could impact future operations are also discussed. These factors may be influenced by both known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to be materially different from those stated in this discussion. Factors that could have a material impact on any future oriented statements made herein include, but are not limited to: general economic, market and business conditions; product selling prices; raw material and operating costs; currency exchange rates; interest rates; changes in law and public policy; the outcome of labour and trade disputes; and opportunities available to or pursued by CPPI.

All financial references are in millions of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. The information in this report is as at April 30, 2013.
