Transactions With Related Party
 
Transactions with Louisiana Timber Procurement Company, L.L.C. (LTP) represent the only significant related-party activity recorded in our consolidated financial statements. LTP is an unconsolidated variable-interest entity that is 50% owned by us and 50% owned by Boise Inc. LTP procures sawtimber, pulpwood, residual chips, and other residual wood fiber to meet the wood and fiber requirements of us and Boise Inc. in Louisiana. We are not the primary beneficiary of LTP, as we do not have power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of LTP. Accordingly, we do not consolidate LTP's results in our financial statements.

Sales
Related-party sales to LTP from our Wood Products segment in our Consolidated Statements of Operations were $6.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. These pulpwood and chip sales were made at prices designed to approximate market. These sales are recorded in "Trade" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Costs and Expenses

Related-party wood fiber purchases from LTP were $15.7 million and $11.3 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. We purchased wood fiber at prices designed to approximate market. These costs are recorded in "Materials, labor, and other operating expenses (excluding depreciation)" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
