<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This prospectus includes "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate
or imply future results, performance or achievements, and may contain the words "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "intend," "project," "plan," "will be," "will likely continue," "will
likely result" or words or phrases of similar meaning. All of these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions made by our management that, although we believe to be reasonable,
are inherently uncertain. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors outside of our
control, that may cause our business, strategy or actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties may include those discussed under the heading
"Risk Factors" and other factors, some of which may not be known to us. We operate in a changing environment in which new risks can emerge from time to time. It is not possible for management to
predict all of these risks, nor can it assess the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors, may cause our business, strategy or actual results to differ materially from those contained
in forward-looking statements. Factors you should consider that could cause these differences include, among other things: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are the largest distributor of building products in the United States. We operate in all of the major metropolitan areas in the United States and distribute
over 10,000 products to more than 11,700 customers through our network of 63 warehouses and third-party operated warehouses. We distribute products in two principal categories: structural products and
specialty products. Structural products, which represented approximately 55% of our fiscal 2003 net sales, include plywood, oriented strand board, or OSB, lumber and other wood products primarily used
for structural support, walls and flooring in residential construction projects. Specialty products, which represented approximately 45% of our fiscal 2003 net sales, include roofing, insulation,
moulding, engineered wood products, vinyl products (used primarily in siding) and metal products. During the 12-month period ended July&nbsp;3, 2004, our net sales were $5.2&nbsp;billion, our pro
forma EBITDA was $200&nbsp;million and our pro forma net income was $95&nbsp;million. During this period, we grew our net revenue by 39% and unit volume by 8.5%. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
customers include building material dealers, industrial users of building products, manufactured housing builders and home improvement centers. We purchase our products from over 750
vendors and serve as a national distributor for a number of our suppliers. We distribute products through our owned fleet of 900 trucks and over 1,200 trailers, as well as by common carrier. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
division commenced operations in 1954 with 13 warehouses primarily used as an outlet for Georgia-Pacific's plywood. On May&nbsp;7, 2004, Georgia-Pacific sold the division to a new
company formed by Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., or Cerberus, and members of our management team. </FONT></P>

<BR></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Industry Overview    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We participate primarily in the U.S. building products' two-step distribution market. Within this market, distributors, such as ourselves, generally
buy building products from manufacturers and sell these products to industrial users or to building materials dealers and retailers, who in turn sell the products directly to the ultimate end user of
the product. End users of building products generally operate in five principal markets: (1)&nbsp;new home construction; (2)&nbsp;repair and remodeling; (3)&nbsp;manufactured housing;
(4)&nbsp;non-residential construction; and (5)&nbsp;industrial users. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
estimate the size of the U.S. two-step building products distribution industry at $39&nbsp;billion in 2003. This industry is highly fragmented, with the top four
industry participants comprising 31% of </FONT></P>

<BR></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Our Competitive Strengths    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that the following competitive strengths are the keys to our success: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Largest building products distributor in the United States.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that the benefits of our industry-leading position
include superior market information, geographic diversity and a better ability to serve multi-regional customers and vendors. Unlike our two largest competitors who are owned by manufacturers, our
independence allows us to have independent control of our inventory management, as well as our product and vendor selection. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Centralized business structure with a meaningful local presence.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that our centralized business model allows
strategic oversight and captures economies of scale while allowing us to maintain a meaningful local sales and operating presence. Centralizing sales, procurement, technology systems and accounting
and strategic oversight allows the branch sales and operations teams to focus on local market requirements. We maintain a meaningful local sales and operating presence at each of our 63 branches,
which allows us to monitor local trends and expand relationships with our local customers. In addition, we believe that our centralized business structure will enhance our ability to absorb
acquisitions into our existing infrastructure. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Diversified customer base.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have over 11,700 customers, including building material dealers, industrial customers,
manufactured housing builders and home improvement centers. Our 10 largest customers accounted for approximately 18% of our fiscal 2003 net sales, and no single customer accounted for more than 4% of
our fiscal 2003 net sales. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Extensive product and services offerings.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We distribute over 10,000 building products and do not rely on any single product
type. In addition, we provide comprehensive services to our customers and vendors, including marketing, packaging and transportation services, inventory management and end-user assistance. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Strong relationships with vendors.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have long-term relationships with many of our 750 suppliers, including
relationships of more than 20&nbsp;years with each of our top 10 vendors. We have primary or exclusive distribution agreements with many of our suppliers, including Georgia-Pacific, our largest
supplier. Other than Georgia-Pacific, which accounted for 32% of our total purchases in fiscal 2003, no other supplier accounted for more than 5% of our fiscal 2003 purchases. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Experienced management team whose interests are aligned with shareholders.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our six senior operating managers average
approximately 25&nbsp;years of industry experience and 16&nbsp;years of employment with us and the division. Over 250 of our employees participate in a bonus program. Our six senior operating
managers have purchased 9.5% of our common stock in connection with the acquisition transactions and may earn bonuses of up to 80 to 100% of their respective base salaries. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our mission is to create cost-effective, value-added supply-chain solutions for our customers and vendors. We believe this approach
enhances our industry-leading position and maximizes shareholder value. We seek to achieve this objective by implementing the following strategies: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Continue to organically grow our unit volumes and revenues.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We intend to continue to organically grow our unit volumes and
revenues by further penetrating our customer base, capturing new customer opportunities and broadening our product and service offerings through
our existing distribution channels. Our year-over-year unit volume growth over the 12 months ended in June&nbsp;2004 is estimated to be 8.5% and has significantly outpaced
overall market growth. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Selectively pursue strategic acquisitions.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We plan to be a leader in the consolidation of the highly fragmented building
products distribution industry. Our acquisition strategy will be to selectively pursue acquisitions that would further expand our product offering and customer base. We intend to focus on acquisitions
of small and medium-sized regional operators at prices that generate attractive returns on invested capital. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expand our product portfolio and service offerings.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We plan to extend our product and service offerings to generate increased
revenue. As a newly independent distributor, we have started to build relationships with new vendors who did not do business with us while we were owned by Georgia-Pacific. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Leverage our operating platform.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that we have the capacity to support unit volume growth without incurring a
proportional increase in our fixed costs and capital expenditure requirements. We estimate that our operating margin on incremental volume growth is more than double the level of our ongoing operating
margins. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Further enhance operating margins and inventory management.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We intend to continue to improve our operating margins by
implementing several productivity and efficiency initiatives. These include a new pricing software initiative that is expected to improve our sales force productivity and gross margins, as well as
several other initiatives designed to improve our inventory management, vehicle routing and the efficiencies of other centralized processes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;12, 2004, we and our operating company entered into two separate definitive agreements to acquire the real estate and operating assets,
respectively, of the division. The transactions were consummated on May&nbsp;7, 2004. At the closing, we paid an aggregate purchase consideration of approximately $773&nbsp;million. Based on our
calculation, we are obligated to make a final working capital settlement payment of $41.0&nbsp;million to Georgia-Pacific, plus 4% interest per annum from the closing date of the acquisition. The
acquisition was funded with net proceeds of $476.0&nbsp;million from drawings under our revolving credit facility, net proceeds of $97.0&nbsp;million from our term loan, proceeds of
$100.0&nbsp;million from a mortgage payable to ABPMC LLC, or ABPMC, an affiliate of Cerberus, proceeds of $95.0&nbsp;million from the issuance of preferred stock and proceeds of
$5.0&nbsp;million from the issuance of common stock. In addition, we paid debt issue costs of $12.0&nbsp;million and $3.0&nbsp;million for our revolving credit facility and our term loan
facility, respectively. </FONT></P>

is an amount equal to net income (loss) plus interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented herein because we believe it is a useful
supplement to net income (loss) and cash flow from operations in understanding operating results and cash flows generated from operations that are available for debt service (interest and principal
payments) and further investment in acquisitions. We believe EBITDA provides meaningful additional information that enables management to monitor and evaluate our ongoing operating results and trends
and provides investors an understanding of operating performance over comparative periods. However, EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with generally accepted principles in the United
States, or GAAP, and is not intended to present a superior measure of financial condition or profitability from those determined under GAAP. Although our management uses the measure of EBITDA, it is
not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

<BR></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and Our Business    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Our industry is highly cyclical, and prolonged periods of weak demand or excess supply may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating
results.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
building products distribution industry is subject to cyclical market pressures. Prices of building products are determined by overall supply and demand in the market for building
products. Market prices of building products historically have been volatile and cyclical and we have limited ability to control the timing and amount of pricing changes for building products. Demand
for building products is driven mainly by factors outside of our control, such as general economic and political conditions, interest rates, the construction, repair and remodeling and industrial
markets, weather and population growth. The supply of building products fluctuates based on available manufacturing capacity, and excess capacity in the industry can result in significant declines in
market prices for those products. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
believe that building products prices and volumes may be at or near a cyclical peak. If these prices and volumes decline, our revenues and profits would likely decline as well. Our
results in some periods have been similarly affected by swings in the market cycles. This cyclicality also makes it more difficult to forecast our operating results. Weak demand or excess supply could
seriously reduce our margins and harm our business, financial condition and operating results, including due to a decline in the resale price of our inventory. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Our substantial indebtedness and future indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health, limit our cash flow available to invest in the ongoing needs of our business
and adversely affect the price of our common stock.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have a substantial amount of debt. As of July&nbsp;3, 2004, after giving effect to the consummation of the offering transactions, we would have had approximately
$654.8&nbsp;million of debt, which includes $451.8&nbsp;million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, $162&nbsp;million outstanding under the new mortgage, and our current
$41&nbsp;million estimate of amounts payable to Georgia-Pacific in connection with the acquisition in respect of working capital. As of July&nbsp;3, 2004 we had $229.2&nbsp;million of additional
borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
our financial and operating performance, cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital
expenditures, sell material
assets or operations, obtain additional capital or restructure our debt. In the event that we are required to dispose of material assets or operations or restructure our debt to meet our debt service
and other obligations, this may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. The obligations of our operating company under the revolving credit facility are
secured by a first priority security interest in all of our operating company's inventories, receivables and proceeds from those items. In addition, our new mortgage will be secured by our real
property. The foregoing encumbrances may limit our ability to dispose of material assets or operations. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
our operating company fails to maintain minimum excess availability of $40,000,000 under the revolving credit facility, the revolving credit facility requires our operating company to
(i)&nbsp;maintain certain financial ratios and (ii)&nbsp;limit its capital expenditures. If our operating company fails to comply with the restrictions in the revolving credit facility or any
other current or future financing agreements, a default may allow the creditors under the relevant instruments to accelerate the related debt and to exercise their remedies under these agreements,
which will typically include the right to declare the principal amount of that debt, together with accrued and unpaid interest and other related amounts, immediately due and payable, to exercise any
remedies our operating company's creditors may have to foreclose on any of its assets that are subject to liens securing that debt and to terminate any commitments they had made to supply our
operating company with further funds. This may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
described under "We intend to pay dividends on our common stock but may change our dividend policy; the instruments governing our indebtedness contain various covenants that may limit
our ability to pay dividends," the revolving credit facility also contains various covenants that limit the amount of dividends we may pay. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>We have a limited operating history as a separate company upon which you can evaluate our performance. The division's historical financial information may not be representative
of our results as a separate company.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
May&nbsp;7, 2004, we and our operating company acquired the real estate and operating assets of the division, respectively. Therefore, our operating history as a separate company is
limited. We cannot assure you that our business strategy as a independent entity will be successful on a long-term basis. We may not be able to grow our business as planned and may not
remain a profitable business. The historical financial information included in this prospectus may not necessarily reflect what our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows would have
been had we been a separate, independent entity pursuing our own strategies during the periods presented. In "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," we
discuss certain factors that may cause the division's historical financial information to not be representative of our results as a separate company. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
limited operating history as a separate entity makes evaluating our business and our future financial prospects difficult. Our potential for future business success and operating
profitability must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties typically
encountered by recently sold companies that were part of a larger entity. If we fail to address these risks, uncertainties and difficulties or to manage these expenses adequately, our business,
financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected and may differ materially from your expectations based on the historical and pro forma financial information provided in
this prospectus. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>We depend upon a single supplier, Georgia-Pacific, for a significant percentage of our products and have significant purchase commitments under our supply agreement with
them.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Georgia-Pacific
is our largest supplier, accounting for approximately 32% of the division's purchases during fiscal 2003. In fiscal 2003, the division purchased 8% of its lumber, 59% of
its structural panels and 24% of its specialty products from Georgia-Pacific. Concurrently with the acquisitions, we entered into a Master Purchase, Supply&nbsp;&amp; Distribution Agreement with
Georgia-Pacific, which we refer to as the supply agreement. The supply agreement has a five-year initial term followed by an "evergreen" provision and requires two years' notice,
exercisable after year four, to terminate. It may be terminated, including before year five, by Georgia-Pacific upon a material breach of the agreement by us. If Georgia-Pacific does not renew the
supply agreement or if it discontinues sales of a product, we would experience a product shortage unless and until we </FONT></P>

a replacement supplier. We cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain replacement products on favorable economic terms, if at all. An inability to replace products on favorable economic
terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
believe that the economic terms of the supply agreement are beneficial to us. While we also believe these terms benefit Georgia-Pacific, Georgia-Pacific could, if it chose, terminate
the supply agreement as early as May&nbsp;7, 2010. If it did so and we could not obtain comparable terms from Georgia-Pacific or another vendor thereafter, our results of operations could be
adversely affected. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the supply agreement, we have substantial minimum purchase volume commitments with respect to a number of products supplied to us. These products account for a majority of our
purchases from Georgia-Pacific. If we fail or refuse to purchase any products that we are obligated to purchase pursuant to the supply agreement, Georgia-Pacific has the right to sell products to
third parties and for certain products terminate our exclusivity, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>If we cannot successfully compete in the marketplace, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
building products distribution industry is highly fragmented and competitive and the barriers to entry for local competitors are relatively low. Some of our competitors are part of
larger companies and therefore have access to greater financial and other resources than we do. In addition, certain product manufacturers sell and distribute their products directly to customers.
Additional manufacturers of products distributed by us may elect to sell and distribute directly to end users in the future or enter into exclusive supply arrangements with other distributors. In
addition, we may not be able to maintain our costs at a level sufficiently low for us to compete effectively. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>We depend on our information technology systems to conduct our business.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our ability to effectively monitor and control our operations and conduct our business depends to a large extent on the proper functioning of our information
technology systems. Any disruption in our information technology systems or the failure of these systems to operate as expected could, depending on the magnitude and duration of the problem, adversely
affect our business, financial condition and operating results. </FONT></P>

of the foregoing obstacles, or a combination of them, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and operating results. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have not completed any acquisitions to date. We cannot assure you that we will be able to consummate acquisitions in the future on terms acceptable to us, or at all. In addition,
future acquisitions are accompanied by the risk that the obligations and liabilities of an acquired company may not be adequately reflected in the historical financial statements of that company and
the risk that those historical financial statements may be based on assumptions which are incorrect or inconsistent with our assumptions or approach to accounting policies. Any of these material
obligations, liabilities or incorrect or inconsistent assumptions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and operating results. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Many of our employees are unionized, which may result in work stoppages and have an adverse effect on our operations.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of August&nbsp;31, 2004, approximately 1,200 of our employees were represented by various labor unions and 45 out of our 63 warehouse facilities were union sites. As of
August&nbsp;31, 2004, we had approximately 49 collective bargaining agreements, of which one is up for renewal before December&nbsp;31, 2004 and five are up for renewal in 2005. We cannot give any
assurance that we will not become subject to material cost increases, or additional work rules imposed by agreements with labor unions, or that work stoppages or other labor disturbances will not
occur in the future, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. Similarly, any failure to reach agreement on new labor agreements
when required might result in a work stoppage that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Federal and state transportation regulations could have a material adverse effect on us.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
use our own fleet of over 900 trucks and over 1,200 trailers to service customers throughout the United States. The U.S. Department of Transportation, or DOT, regulates our operations
in domestic interstate commerce. We are subject to safety requirements governing interstate operations prescribed by the DOT. Vehicle dimensions and driver hours of service also remain subject to both
federal and state regulation. More restrictive limitations on vehicle weight and size, trailer length and configuration, or driver hours of service could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and operating results. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Environmental laws impose risks and costs on us.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our operations are subject to federal, state, provincial and local laws, rules and regulations governing the protection of the environment, including, but not
limited to, those regulating discharges into the air and water, the use, handling and disposal of hazardous or toxic substances, the management of wastes, the cleanup of contamination and the control
of noise and odors. We have made, and will continue to make, expenditures to comply with these requirements. While we believe, based upon current information, that we are in substantial compliance
with all applicable environmental laws, rules and regulations, we cannot assure you of this, and we could be subject to potentially significant fines or penalties for any failure to comply. Moreover,
under certain environmental laws, a current or previous owner or operator of real property, and parties that generate or transport hazardous substances that are disposed of at real property, may be
held liable for the cost to investigate or clean up such real property and for related damages to natural </FONT></P>

We may be subject to liability, including liability for investigation and cleanup costs if contamination is discovered at one of our current or former warehouse facilities, or at a landfill
or other location where we have disposed of, or arranged for the disposal of, wastes. Georgia-Pacific has agreed to indemnify us against any claim arising from environmental conditions that existed
prior to May&nbsp;7, 2004. We also carry environmental insurance. However, there can be no assurance that any remediation costs will be covered by indemnification or insurance. In addition, we could
be subject to claims brought pursuant to applicable laws, rules or regulations for property damage or personal injury resulting from the environmental impacts of our operations. Increasingly stringent
environmental requirements, more aggressive enforcement actions, the discovery of unknown conditions or the bringing of future claims may cause our expenditures for environmental matters to increase,
and we may incur material costs associated with these matters. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Anti-terrorism measures may harm our business.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the aftermath of recent terrorist attacks on the United States, federal, state and local authorities have implemented and are implementing various security
measures, including checkpoints and travel restrictions on large trucks. Our customers typically need quick delivery and rely on our on-time delivery capabilities. If security measures
disrupt or impede the timing of our deliveries, we may fail to meet the needs of our customers, or may incur increased expenses to do so. We cannot assure you that these measures will not have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Our management team is an important part of our business and the loss of key personnel could impair our success.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
benefit from the leadership and experience of our senior management team and we depend on their continued services in order to successfully implement our business strategy. The loss
of any member of our senior management team could have an adverse effect on us until a replacement is found. Due to the competitive employment nature of our industry, there is a risk that we could
lose one or more of our key employees, and that we might not be able to replace these key employees quickly or on market terms. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our
senior management. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, we believe that our future success will depend upon our ability to attract and train highly skilled technical, managerial, sales and marketing personnel. We maintain a
"promote-from-within" practice and training program and if we do not effectively manage our employees, our business may suffer. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Georgia-Pacific
and many other companies are defendants in suits brought in various courts around the nation by plaintiffs who allege that they have suffered personal injury as a result
of exposure to products containing asbestos. In the case of Georgia-Pacific, these suits allege a variety of lung and other diseases based on alleged exposure to products previously manufactured by
Georgia-Pacific. Georgia-Pacific's asbestos liabilities relate primarily to joint system products manufactured by Bestwall Gypsum Company and Georgia-Pacific's gypsum business. Georgia-Pacific
discontinued using asbestos in the manufacture of these products in 1977. The assets sold to us by Georgia-Pacific do not include the joint systems products, Georgia-Pacific's gypsum business or any
other products containing asbestos. In addition, the terms of the asset purchase agreement specifically provide that Georgia-Pacific retains and will indemnify, defend and hold us harmless against,
all obligations and liabilities arising out of, relating to or otherwise in any way in respect of any product liability claims with respect to products purchased, sold, marketed, stored, delivered,

common stock that you buy. The initial public offering price for the shares will be determined by negotiations between us and the underwriters and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in
the open market following this offering. The market price of our common stock may be influenced by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including: </FONT></P>

have sufficient voting power to amend our organizational documents. We cannot assure you that the interests of our controlling stockholder will coincide with the interests of other holders of our

opportunities may not be available to us. So long as our controlling stockholder continues to own a significant amount of the outstanding shares of our common stock, it will continue to be able to

business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of the common stock. In addition, certain of our incentive plans provide for vesting of stock options and/or payments to be made to the

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
intend to pay dividends on our common stock. Our board of directors may, in its discretion, modify or repeal our dividend policy. Future dividends, if any, with respect to shares of
our common stock will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions, provisions of applicable law and other factors that
our board of directors may deem relevant. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will pay dividends in any given amount in the future or at all. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
revolving credit facility limits distributions by our operating company to us, which, in turn, may limit our ability to pay dividends to holders of our common stock. The revolving
credit facility permits our operating company to pay dividends to us (i)&nbsp;in an amount equal to the sum of our federal, state and local income tax liability that is attributable to our operating
company and its
subsidiaries and (ii)&nbsp;for our general administrative expenses and/or operating expenses incurred by us on behalf of our operating company or its subsidiaries in an amount not to exceed
$2.5&nbsp;million in any fiscal year. In addition, our operating company's revolving credit facility permits our operating company, commencing at the conclusion of fiscal 2005, to pay dividends to
us in an amount not to exceed, in the aggregate and together with any optional prepayments made with respect to indebtedness under the term loan permitted under the revolving credit facility, 50% of
our operating company's cumulative net income earned since May&nbsp;7, 2004, so long as: (i)&nbsp;no default or event of default exists thereunder; (ii)&nbsp;at all times during the
90-day period before the dividend payment date and the 90-day period following the dividend payment date, the amount of excess availability under the revolving credit facility
is projected to be $100&nbsp;million or more at all times; and (iii)&nbsp;the agents under the revolving credit facility shall have received our operating company's audited financial statements
for the fiscal year then-ended. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, under Delaware law, our board of directors may declare dividends only to the extent of our "surplus" (which is defined as total assets at fair market value minus total
liabilities, minus statutory capital), or if there is no surplus, out of our net profits for the then current and/or immediately preceding fiscal years. </FONT></P>

you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in pro forma net tangible book value per share,
because the price that you pay will be substantially greater than the net tangible book value per share of the shares you acquire, based on the net tangible book value per share as of July&nbsp;3,
2004. This dilution is due in large part to the fact that our earlier investors paid substantially less than the initial public offering price when they purchased their shares. You will experience
additional dilution upon the exercise of stock options by employees or directors to purchase common stock under our equity incentive plan. On August&nbsp;30 and 31, 2004, we
granted&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
stock options to purchase our common stock at an average exercise price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;per share. </FONT></P>

of our term loan and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (ii)&nbsp;up to $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;million from the redemption of our series&nbsp;A
preferred stock and the payment of accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon and (iii)&nbsp;$&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;million from the repayment our existing mortgage debt and the payment of accrued and unpaid interest thereon. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At
July&nbsp;3, 2004, the interest rate under the term loan was 10%. The term loan matures on November&nbsp;6, 2009. The interest rate on our existing mortgage is 10%. Our current
mortgage does not amortize and there is a balloon payment due at maturity on December&nbsp;15, 2010. Dividends accrue on our series&nbsp;A preferred stock at rate of 10% per annum, compounded
quarterly and accrued daily. All of our series A preferred stock will be redeemed with the proceeds we expect to receive from this offering and our new mortgage. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We intend to pay dividends on our common stock at a quarterly rate of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;per share. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
revolving credit facility limits distributions by our operating company to us, which, in turn, may limit our ability to pay dividends to holders of common stock. The revolving credit
facility permits our operating company to pay dividends to us (i)&nbsp;in an amount equal to the sum of our federal, state and local income tax liability that is attributable to our operating
company and its subsidiaries and (ii)&nbsp;for our general administrative expenses and/or operating expenses incurred by us on behalf of our operating company or its subsidiaries in an amount not to
exceed $2.5&nbsp;million in any fiscal year. In addition, the revolving credit facility permits our operating company, commencing at the conclusion of fiscal 2005, to pay dividends to us in an
amount not to exceed, in the aggregate and together with any optional prepayments made with respect to indebtedness under the term loan permitted under the revolving credit facility, 50% of our
operating company's cumulative net income earned since May&nbsp;7, 2004, so long as: (i)&nbsp;no default or event of default exists under the facility; (ii)&nbsp;at all times during the 90-day
period before the dividend payment date and the 90-day period following the dividend payment date, the amount of excess availability under the revolving credit facility is projected to be
$100&nbsp;million or more at all times; and (iii)&nbsp;the agents under the revolving credit facility and term loan shall have received our operating company's audited financial statements for the
fiscal year then ended. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have not paid dividends in the past on our common stock. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
certain risks relating to the payment of dividends, see "Risk Factors&#151;Risks Related to the Offering&#151;We intend to pay dividends on our common stock but may
change our dividend policy; the instruments governing our indebtedness contain various covenants that may limit our ability to pay dividends." </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following table sets forth our selected consolidated historical financial information. On May&nbsp;7, 2004, we and our operating company consummated the
acquisition transactions. The financial statements prior to May&nbsp;7, 2004 are referred to as "pre-acquisition period" statements. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
selected consolidated historical financial data for fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001 have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the division included elsewhere
in this prospectus. We have derived the selected consolidated historical financial data for the years ended December&nbsp;30, 2000 and January&nbsp;1, 2000 from the division's unaudited
consolidated financial statements that are not included herein. We have derived the selected historical consolidated financial data at July&nbsp;3, 2004 and for the period from May&nbsp;8, 2004 to
July&nbsp;3, 2004 from our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, which include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that, in
our opinion, are necessary for a fair presentation of our results for such period. We have derived the selected historical consolidated financial data for the period from January&nbsp;4, 2004 to
May&nbsp;7, 2004 and for the six months ended June&nbsp;28, 2003 from the division's unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, which include all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that, in our opinion, are necessary for a fair presentation of the division's results for such periods. The results of operations for the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any future period. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
acquisition of the assets of the division was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were accounted for at their fair
market values at the date of consummation based on preliminary estimates. The final allocation of the purchase price may differ from the amounts reflected herein, and those differences could be
significant. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
information presented below should be read in conjunction with "Capitalization," "Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and all of the consolidated historical financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. </FONT></P>

is an amount equal to net income (loss) plus interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented herein because we believe it is a useful
supplement to net income (loss) and cash flow from operations in understanding operating results and cash flows generated from operations that are available for debt service (interest and principal
payments) and further investment in acquisitions. We believe EBITDA provides meaningful additional information that enables management to monitor and evaluate our ongoing operating results and trends
and provides investors an understanding of operating performance over comparative periods. However, EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with generally accepted principles, or GAAP, and is
not intended to present a superior measure of financial condition or profitability from those determined under GAAP. Although our management uses the measure of EBITDA, it is not necessarily
comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reflects
the estimated interest expense associated with the debt issued to consummate the acquisition. The revolving credit facility was assumed to have an average
balance of $444&nbsp;million, $372&nbsp;million and $380&nbsp;million for the first half of fiscal 2004, full year fiscal 2003 and first half of fiscal 2003, respectively. The revolving credit
facility was assumed to bear interest at 3.625%. The term loan was assumed to have a balance of $100&nbsp;million and to bear interest at 10%. The mortgage loan was assumed to have a balance of
$100&nbsp;million and to bear interest at 10%. The actual interest rate borne by such debt may differ from the rates utilized. For each 0.125% variance in LIBOR, income before income taxes will vary
by approximately $340,000, $590,000 and $300,000 for the first half of fiscal 2004, full year fiscal 2003 and first half of fiscal 2003, respectively. In addition, the actual amount of debt will vary
and will cause variances in the actual interest expense. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Both
the revolving credit facility and term loan have a $15,000&nbsp;monthly servicing fee. Additionally, the revolving credit facility bears a 0.375% unused line fee
for any unused portion of the facility. The debt issuance costs related to revolving credit facility and the term loan were amortized over their respective loan terms of 5 and 5.5&nbsp;years. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reflects

(ii)&nbsp;to redeem up to $35&nbsp;million of our series&nbsp;A preferred stock and pay all accrued and unpaid dividends on the portion redeemed and (iii)&nbsp;for general corporate purposes. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Proceeds
from the new mortgage will be used to (i)&nbsp;repay our existing $100&nbsp;million of mortgage debt plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (ii)&nbsp;redeem the
remaining series&nbsp;A preferred stock and pay all accrued and unpaid dividends on the portion redeemed. We expect to fully redeem our series&nbsp;A preferred stock with proceeds from the
offering and new mortgage. We have assumed a 6% interest rate on the new mortgage amortizing over 25 years. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Overview  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are the largest distributor of building products in the United States. We distribute over 10,000 products to more than 11,700 customers through our network of
63 warehouses and third-party operated warehouses which serves all major metropolitan markets in the United States. We distribute products in two principal categories: structural products and
specialty products. Structural products include plywood, OSB, lumber and other wood products primarily used for structural support, walls and flooring in construction projects. Structural products,
represented approximately 55% of our fiscal 2003 net sales. Specialty products include roofing, insulation, moulding, engineered wood, vinyl products (used primarily in siding) and metal products.
Specialty products accounted for approximately 45% of our fiscal 2003 net sales. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I> Acquisition of Division's Business From Georgia-Pacific  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;12, 2004, we and our operating company entered into two separate definitive agreements to acquire the real estate and operating assets,
respectively, of the division. The transactions were consummated on May&nbsp;7, 2004. At the closing, we paid purchase consideration of approximately $773&nbsp;million. Based on our calculation,
we are obligated to make a final working capital settlement payment of $41.0&nbsp;million to Georgia-Pacific, plus 4% interest per annum from the closing date of the acquisition. The working capital
payment will be funded by borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The acquisition was funded with: </FONT></P>

addition, we paid debt issue costs of $12.0&nbsp;million and $3.0&nbsp;million for our revolving credit facility and our term loan, respectively. We and our wholly-owned

refer to the period prior to May&nbsp;7, 2004 as the "pre-acquisition period." Our financial data for the pre-acquisition period generally will not be
comparable to our financial data for the period after the acquisition. The principal factors affecting comparability are incremental costs that we will incur as a separate company, discussed in
greater detail below; interest costs attributable to debt we incurred in connection with the acquisition transactions; and the effects of purchase method accounting applied to the acquisition
transactions. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto reflect the impact of these factors, on a pro forma basis. The acquisition of the assets of the division
was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were accounted for at their fair market values at the date of consummation based on
preliminary estimates. The final allocation of the </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I> Agreements with Georgia-Pacific  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Supply Agreement.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In fiscal 2003, the division purchased 8% of its lumber, 59% of its structural panels and 24% of its
specialty products from Georgia-Pacific. On May&nbsp;7, 2004, we entered into a multi-year supply agreement with Georgia-Pacific. Under the agreement, we have exclusive distribution
rights on certain products and certain customer segments. See "Business&#151;Products and Services&#151;Suppliers." Georgia-Pacific is our largest vendor, with Georgia-Pacific products
representing approximately 32% of the division's purchases during fiscal 2003. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Transition Agreements.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the closing of the acquisition, our operating company entered into a transition services agreement
with Georgia-Pacific. The services covered under the agreement include all currently provided support services in several operating areas, including transportation management and sales and marketing.
We have agreed to compensate Georgia-Pacific for services provided during the transition period on an agreed upon cost-plus basis. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition to the transition services agreement, we have also entered into agreements with Georgia-Pacific to provide transition services in information technology, or IT, and human
resources. The IT support services agreement provides for infrastructure, business systems, operational systems, and network support services for a period of one year, however, our operating company
may elect to terminate one or more sub-categories of IT support services before the end of one year, or alternatively, may elect to have Georgia-Pacific continue to provide any or all sub-categories
of IT support services for an additional six-month period beyond the initial term. The human resources agreement provides for payroll, employee benefits administration, and other specified human
resources-related administrative services until November&nbsp;7, 2004, or, if extended, until December&nbsp;31, 2004. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Charges
for transition services are approximately $1&nbsp;million per month. We expect this amount will decline to approximately $0 by the end of the first quarter of 2005. We expect
the total cost for transition services from the completion of the acquisition through March 2005 to be approximately $10&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
the pre-acquisition period, Georgia-Pacific charged the division for the estimated cost of certain functions that were managed by Georgia-Pacific and could reasonably
be directly attributed to the operations of the division. These costs included dedicated human resource, legal, accounting, and information systems support. The charges to the division were based on
Georgia-Pacific management's estimate of the services specifically used by the division. Where determinations based on specific usage alone were impracticable, other methods and
criteria were used that management believes are equitable and provide a reasonable estimate of the cost attributable to the division. The total of the allocations was $5.9&nbsp;million and
$10.1&nbsp;million for the period from January&nbsp;4, 2004 to May&nbsp;7, 2004 and the first half of fiscal 2003, respectively. Certain general corporate expenses were not allocated to the
division. These expenses included portions of property and casualty insurance premiums, health and welfare administration costs, human resources administration costs, finance administration costs, and
legal costs. We estimate that these incremental costs would have been approximately $13&nbsp;million and $5&nbsp;million for fiscal 2003 and the first half of fiscal 2004, respectively. These
incremental costs are included in our pro formas. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
believe the assumptions underlying the division's financial statements are reasonable. However, the division's financial statements do not necessarily reflect what our future results
of operations, financial position and cash flows will be, nor do they reflect what our results of </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>For
example, plywood and OSB prices have increased significantly since lows in 2002, by approximately 90% and over 200%, respectively. Low plywood prices in 2001 and 2002 resulted in a number of mills
closing permanently, reducing North American industry capacity by at least 10%. We believe that the shutdown of these facilities, combined with increases in demand in 2003 and 2004 have caused plywood
and OSB prices to increase significantly since 2002. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
prices of specialty products also can vary from time to time, although they are generally significantly less variable than structural products. Specialty products prices overall were
flat to slightly declining in 2001 and 2002, with increases, some significant, being evident in late 2003 and into the first half of 2004. Product categories recording significant increases included
rebar, metal fasteners and moulding. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following table sets forth changes in net sales by product category, sales variances due to changes in unit volume and dollar and percentage changes in unit volume and price in each
case for fiscal 2001, 2002 and 2003 and the six months ended June&nbsp;28, 2003 and July&nbsp;3, 2004. </FONT></P>

$1,911&nbsp;million in the first half of fiscal 2003. This increase of $930&nbsp;million was caused by price changes amounting to $727&nbsp;million and unit volume increases amounting to
$203&nbsp;million. Unit sales increased by 10.6% during the first half of fiscal 2004, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2003. Additionally, net sales were favorably impacted by significantly
higher prices for plywood, OSB, lumber and various specialty products due to increases in demand coupled with limited capacity additions by manufacturers over the last several years. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross Profit.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross profit for the first half of fiscal 2004 increased 68% to $317&nbsp;million from $189&nbsp;million in
the first half of fiscal 2003. This increase was the result of higher net sales and an increase in the gross profit margin to 11.1% of net sales for the first half of fiscal 2004, compared to a gross
profit margin of 9.9% of net sales during the same period in fiscal 2003. The increase in gross profit margin was the result of our continued focus on improving margins, strong demand and rising
prices. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Operating Expenses.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first half of fiscal 2004 were $201&nbsp;million,
or 7.1% of net sales, compared to $159&nbsp;million, or 8.3% of net sales in the first half of fiscal 2003. Higher expenses in the first half of fiscal 2004 as compared to the first half of fiscal
2003 were primarily due to increases in employee bonuses and sales commissions (a $19&nbsp;million increase) due to strong performance, increased variable expenses such as warehouse delivery and
labor and a portion of the increase in marketing expenses associated with higher unit volume (an approximately $8&nbsp;million increase) and cost inflation primarily related to employee benefits and
payroll (an approximately $5&nbsp;million increase). Additionally, the first half of fiscal 2004 includes approximately $8&nbsp;million in one-time expenses associated with the acquisition and the
related transition. We anticipate recording additional transition expenses of approximately $3&nbsp;million during the second half of fiscal 2004 and first half of fiscal 2005. </FONT></P>

increase of $538&nbsp;million was caused by price increases amounting to $407&nbsp;million and unit volume increases amounting to $131&nbsp;million. Unit sales increased by 3.5% during fiscal
2003. The increase in unit sales, in part reflected the early results of our strategy of increasing volume through focused value-added selling, which we began to implement in late fiscal 2002. Also
contributing to the increase was the fact that Georgia-Pacific's 2003 fiscal year included several more operating days than fiscal 2002, which added $44&nbsp;million, or approximately 1%, to fiscal

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net Sales.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales for fiscal 2002 decreased 1% to $3,734&nbsp;million from $3,769&nbsp;million in fiscal 2001. This
decrease of $35&nbsp;million was caused by price decreases amounting to $72&nbsp;million, which were somewhat offset by unit volume increases of $38&nbsp;million. Unit sales increased by 1.0%
during fiscal 2002, compared to fiscal 2001. During this same time period, estimated unit volume demand in the end use markets we serve grew by 2.7%. Revenue was unfavorably impacted by slightly lower
plywood, OSB and lumber prices. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross Profit.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross profit for fiscal 2002 decreased 3% to $363&nbsp;million from $374&nbsp;million in fiscal 2001,
reflecting a decrease in the gross profit margin to 9.7% of net sales in fiscal 2002, compared to a gross profit margin of 9.9% of net sales in fiscal 2001. The decrease in gross profit margin was the
result of moderate declines in plywood, OSB and lumber prices. Additionally, during this period, Georgia-Pacific had a floor price policy on plywood sold to the division that reduced plywood margins
below normal levels. Under this policy, Georgia-Pacific often sold plywood to the division at floor prices that were above market prices, thereby increasing the division's cost of goods sold. This
policy was effective during periods of low prices in fiscal 2001 through the middle of fiscal 2003. We are no longer subject to Georgia-Pacific's floor pricing policies. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Operating Expenses.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2002 were $295&nbsp;million, or 7.9% of net
sales, and $299&nbsp;million, or 7.9% of net sales, for fiscal 2001. Lower selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001 were primarily due to lower payroll and
payroll-related costs associated with a reduction in headcount that was largely implemented in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 (an approximately $20&nbsp;million decrease), partially offset by
cost inflation primarily impacting employee benefits and payroll costs (an approximately $9&nbsp;million increase). </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Depreciation and Amortization.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Depreciation expense totaled $21.8&nbsp;million and $26.8&nbsp;million for fiscal 2002 and
fiscal 2001, respectively. From fiscal 1994 to 1997, capital investment by Georgia-Pacific totaled over $400&nbsp;million. The declining depreciation trend reflects the completion of </FONT></P>

$48.2&nbsp;million or 1.3% of net sales, in fiscal 2001, reflecting a period of relatively low and generally declining prices. Gross profit was unfavorably impacted by declining prices and by the
Georgia-Pacific plywood price floor. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Seasonality  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are exposed to fluctuations in quarterly sales volumes and expenses due to seasonal factors. These seasonal factors are common in the building products
distribution industry. The first quarter is our slowest quarter due to the impact of poor weather on the construction market. Our second quarter typically improves from our first quarter as the
weather begins to improve and held-over construction demand from the winter season is released. Our third quarter is typically our strongest quarter, reflecting a substantial increase in
construction due to more favorable weather conditions. Our working capital and accounts receivable and payable generally peak in the third quarter, while inventory generally peaks in second quarter in
anticipation of the third quarter season. The fourth quarter is typically our second slowest quarter due to the decline in construction with the onset of the winter season. We expect these trends to
continue for the remainder of fiscal 2004 and for the foreseeable future. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Liquidity and Capital Resources  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The division's principal source of liquidity historically has been the consolidated resources of Georgia-Pacific. We intend to fund future capital needs through
our operating cash flows and our revolving credit facility. For a summary of selected terms of our revolving credit facility and other indebtedness, see "Description of Certain Indebtedness." We
believe that the amounts available from this and other sources will be sufficient to fund operations and capital requirements for the foreseeable future. </FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Working capital consists of total current assets minus total current liabilities excluding current maturities of long-term debt. Working capital
increased by $164&nbsp;million to $607&nbsp;million at July&nbsp;3, 2004, from $443&nbsp;million at January&nbsp;3, 2004. The increase in working capital reflects a seasonal increase in the
business from December to June and moderately higher product prices. Accounts receivable increased by $236&nbsp;million and finished goods inventories increased by $148&nbsp;million; these
increases were partially offset by a $288&nbsp;million increase in accounts payable. Of the $288&nbsp;million increase in accounts payable, approximately $135&nbsp;million reflects trade
payables due to Georgia-Pacific while, prior to the acquisition, purchases from Georgia-Pacific were treated as inter-company transactions and were not included in accounts payable. Additionally, cash
increased by $32&nbsp;million to $33&nbsp;million at July&nbsp;3, 2004. During the pre-acquisition period, Georgia-Pacific consolidated all cash balances and the division only
maintained petty cash and other minor balances. The $33&nbsp;million of cash on our balance sheet at July&nbsp;3, 2004 primarily reflects customer remittances received in our lock boxes on Friday
and Saturday that are not available until the next Monday, that is part of the following fiscal period. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Compared
to fiscal 2002, working capital increased by $8.8&nbsp;million, or 2%, in fiscal 2003. The increase in working capital was primarily attributable to higher accounts receivable
balances driven by net sales growth and partially offset by higher accounts payable. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Compared
to fiscal 2001, working capital increased by $22.5&nbsp;million in fiscal 2002, primarily as a result of a moderate increase in inventories and a small decrease in accounts
payable. </FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the first half of fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003, cash flows used for operating activities totaled $36.3&nbsp;million and $74.1&nbsp;million,
respectively. The increase of $37.8&nbsp;million in operating cash flows was primarily driven by trade payables for products purchased from Georgia-Pacific, which were $135&nbsp;million at
July&nbsp;3, 2004, compared to zero during the pre-acquisition period, due to the fact that amounts due to Georgia-Pacific for product purchases were not classified as accounts payable
but as parent's investment. Additional sources of cash were improved earnings and seasonal increases in payables with other vendors. These sources were offset in part by seasonal increases in accounts
receivable and inventory. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002, cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $59.1&nbsp;million and $46.7&nbsp;million, respectively. The increase of $12.4&nbsp;million in
operating cash flows in fiscal 2003 was primarily due to increased net income of $28.3&nbsp;million and fluctuations in inventories, accounts payable and accrued compensation. Partially offsetting
these operating cash flow increases were fluctuations in accounts receivable. The increases in inventories and accounts payable in fiscal 2003 were primarily caused by increased purchasing activity to
support higher business volume. Increased accrued compensation in fiscal 2003 was caused by higher employee bonuses and other compensation linked to the division's improved performance. Accounts
receivable increased in fiscal 2003 due to increased net sales in fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
decrease of $7.7&nbsp;million in net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001 primarily resulted from fluctuations in accounts payable,
partially offset by fluctuations in accounts receivable. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the first half of fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003, cash flows used for investing activities totaled $774.6&nbsp;million and $0.9&nbsp;million,
respectively. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
May&nbsp;7, 2004, we and our operating company acquired the real estate and the operating assets of the division, respectively. On that date, we paid purchase consideration of
approximately $773&nbsp;million. The purchase price is subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment, which we estimate will require the payment of an additional
$41&nbsp;million to Georgia-Pacific, which we expect to fund with our revolving credit facility. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
expenditures for property and equipment were $1.5&nbsp;million and $2.0&nbsp;million during the first half of fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003, respectively. Fiscal 2004 capital
expenditures are expected approximately $10&nbsp;million for the entire year, including first half 2004 capital expenditures. These expenditures will be primarily for mobile equipment consisting of
trucks, trailers, forklifts and sales force automobiles. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Proceeds
from the sale of property and equipment totaled $0.3&nbsp;million and $1.1&nbsp;million during the first half of fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003, respectively. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
expenditures for property and equipment were $5.4&nbsp;million, $3.6&nbsp;million and $0.8&nbsp;million in fiscal 2003, fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001, respectively. These
expenditures were primarily for mobile equipment. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Proceeds
from the sale of property and equipment totaled $1.3&nbsp;million, $0.8&nbsp;million and $3.4&nbsp;million in fiscal 2003, fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001, respectively. The
excess proceeds in fiscal 2001 primarily reflect the sale of two unused facilities. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net cash provided by financing activities was $843.3&nbsp;million during the first half of fiscal 2004 and $75.1&nbsp;million during the first half of fiscal
2003. The increase in cash provided by financing activities in the first half of fiscal 2004 primarily reflects the net proceeds from our revolving credit facility ($452&nbsp;million), our term loan
($100&nbsp;million), our mortgage payable to ABPMC, an affiliate of Cerberus ($100&nbsp;million), our issuance of preferred stock ($95&nbsp;million) and our issuance of common stock
($5&nbsp;million), all of which relate to our acquisition of the assets of the division. Fees paid to issue the revolving credit facility and term loan totaled $15.2&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash
used for financing activities was $54.7&nbsp;million, $44.1&nbsp;million and $57.0&nbsp;million for fiscal 2003, fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001, respectively. During the
pre-acquisition period, we were financed by Georgia-Pacific and the use of bank overdrafts. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On May&nbsp;7, 2004, our operating company entered into a revolving credit facility. As of July&nbsp;3, 2004, advances outstanding under the revolving credit
facility were approximately $451.8&nbsp;million. Borrowing availability was approximately $229.2&nbsp;million and outstanding letters of credit on this facility were approximately
$4&nbsp;million. As of July&nbsp;3, 2004, the interest rate on outstanding balances under the revolving credit facility was 3.65%. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
May&nbsp;7, 2004, our operating company also entered into our term loan facility. As of July&nbsp;3, 2004, amounts outstanding under our term loan facility were
$100&nbsp;million. All principal and interest due on the term loan will be repaid in full using the proceeds of this offering. The interest rate on the term loan is 10%. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
May&nbsp;7, 2004, we became a borrower under a $100&nbsp;million mortgage loan agreement with ABPMC, an affiliate of Cerberus. Simultaneously with the consummation of the
offering, the existing mortgage will be refinanced by a new mortgage, which will be provided by a third party that is not affiliated with Cerberus. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that general inflation did not significantly affect our operating results or markets for the first half of fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003 or for fiscal
2003, fiscal 2002 or fiscal 2001. As discussed above, our results of operations were both favorably and unfavorably impacted by increases and decreases in the pricing of certain commodity-based
products. Commodity price fluctuations have from time to time created cyclicality in our financial performance and may do so in the future. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
revolving credit facility accrues interest based on a floating benchmark rate (the prime rate or eurodollar rate), plus an applicable margin. A change in interest rates under the
revolving credit facility could have an impact on results of operations. A change of 100 basis points in the market rate of interest would impact interest expense by approximately $6&nbsp;million
based on borrowings outstanding at July&nbsp;3, 2004, and excluding the term loan, interest expense would have been impacted by approximately $5&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fewer
than 1.0% of our net sales are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and we do not believe our total exposure to currency fluctuations to be significant. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Critical Accounting Policies  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Certain of our accounting policies require the
application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. As with all judgments, they are subject to an inherent degree of
uncertainty. These judgments are based on our historical experience, current economic trends in the industry, information provided by customers, vendors and other outside sources and management's
estimates, as appropriate. Our significant accounting policies include: </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Revenue Recognition  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We recognize revenue when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, our
price to the buyer is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Delivery is not considered to have occurred until the customer takes title and assumes the risks and rewards of
ownership. The timing of revenue recognition is largely dependent on shipping terms. Revenue is recorded at the time of shipment for terms designated as FOB (free on board) shipping point. For sales
transactions designated FOB destination, revenue is recorded when the product is delivered to the customer's delivery site. Discounts and allowances are comprised of trade allowances, cash discounts
and sales returns. Cash discounts and sales returns are estimated using historical experience. Trade allowances are based on the estimated obligations and historical experience. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Related Reserves  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We evaluate the collectibility of accounts receivable based on numerous factors, including past transaction history with customers and their creditworthiness. We
maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for each aging category on our aged trial balance based on our historical bad debt experience. This estimate is periodically adjusted when we become aware
of specific customers' inability to meet their financial obligations (</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>e.g.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, bankruptcy filing or other evidence of liquidity problems). As we determine
that specific balances will be ultimately uncollectible we remove them from our aged trial balance. Additionally, we maintain reserves for cash discounts that we expect customers to earn as well as
expected returns. At July&nbsp;3, 2004, January&nbsp;3, 2004, December&nbsp;28, </FONT></P>

and December&nbsp;29, 2001, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $12&nbsp;million, $9.2&nbsp;million, $9.5&nbsp;million and $9.9&nbsp;million, respectively. The increased level
of reserves at July&nbsp;3, 2004 reflects an increase in reserves for cash discounts associated with the seasonally elevated accounts receivable level. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Inventories  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. The cost of substantially all inventories is determined by the moving average cost method. We evaluate our
inventory value at the end of
each quarter to ensure that first quality, actively moving inventory, when viewed as a whole, is carried at the lower of cost or market. Additionally, we maintain a reserve for the estimated value
impairment associated with damaged and inactive inventory. At July&nbsp;3, 2004, January&nbsp;3, 2004, December&nbsp;28, 2002 and December&nbsp;29, 2001, our inventory reserves totaled
$2.4&nbsp;million, $2.1&nbsp;million, $2.8&nbsp;million and $3.0&nbsp;million, respectively. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Consideration Received from Vendors  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the beginning of each calendar year, we enter into agreements with many of our vendors providing for inventory purchase rebates, generally based on achievement
of specified volume purchasing levels and various marketing allowances. We accrue for the receipt of vendor rebates based on purchases, and also reduce inventory value to reflect the net acquisition
cost (purchase price less expected purchase rebates). </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Impairment of Long-Lived Assets  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Long-lived assets, including property and equipment, are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. To analyze recoverability, we project undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining life of the asset. If these projected cash flows are less than the
carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized based on the fair value of the asset less any costs of disposition. Our judgment regarding the existence of impairment indicators is based on market
and operational performance. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Self-Insurance  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are substantially self-insured for certain losses relating to workers' compensation, automobile, general and product liability claims. We also
maintain stop loss coverage to limit the exposure arising from such claims. Self-insurance losses for claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based upon our estimates
of the aggregate liability for uninsured claims using loss development factors and actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and our historical loss development experience. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;31, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued an exposure draft, Share-Based Payment, an amendment of FASB Statements
No.&nbsp;123 and 95. The proposed change in accounting would replace existing requirements under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
and Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The exposure draft covers a wide range of equity-based compensation arrangements. Under the FASB's
proposal, all forms of share-based payments to employees, including employee stock options, would be treated the same as other forms of compensation by recognizing the related cost in the income
statement. The expense of the award would generally be measured at fair value at the grant date. The comment period for the exposure draft ended on June&nbsp;30, 2004, and final rules are expected
to be issued in late 2004. The standard would be applicable for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2004. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
April&nbsp;2003, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No.&nbsp;149 amends and clarifies
accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under Statement 133. SFAS No.&nbsp;149 amends SFAS&nbsp;133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for decisions made: (1)&nbsp;as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process that effectively required amendments to
SFAS&nbsp;133; (2)&nbsp;in connection with other FASB projects dealing with financial instruments; and (3)&nbsp;regarding implementation issues raised in relation to the application of the
definition of a derivative, particularly regarding the meaning of an "underlying" and the characteristics of a derivative that contain financing components. The statement is generally effective for
contracts entered into or modified after June&nbsp;30, 2003 and is to be applied prospectively. We have determined that the adoption of the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;149 will not have a material
effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
May&nbsp;2003, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No.&nbsp;150
establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No.&nbsp;150 applies specifically to a number
of financial instruments that companies have historically presented within their financial statements either as equity or between the liabilities section and the equity section, rather than as
liabilities. SFAS No.&nbsp;150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May&nbsp;31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period
beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2003. We have determined that the adoption of the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;150 will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or
cash flows. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are the largest distributor of building products in the United States. We distribute over 10,000 products to more than 11,700 customers through our network of
63 warehouses and third-party operated warehouses which serve all major metropolitan markets in the United States. We distribute products in two principal categories: structural products and specialty
products. Structural products include plywood, OSB, lumber and other wood products primarily used for structural support, walls and flooring in residential construction projects. Structural products
represented approximately 55% of our fiscal 2003 net sales. Specialty products include roofing, insulation, moulding, engineered wood products, vinyl products (used primarily in siding) and metal
products. Specialty products accounted for approximately 45% of our fiscal 2003 net sales. Specialty products as a category historically have had more short-term price stability and higher margins
than structural products. During the 12-month period ended July&nbsp;3, 2004, our net sales were $5.2&nbsp;billion, our pro forma EBITDA was $200&nbsp;million and our pro forma net
income was $95&nbsp;million. During this period, we grew our net revenue by 39% and unit volume by 8.5%. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
diversified customer and supplier base covers multiple market segments and end use markets. Our customers include building material dealers, industrial users of building products,
manufactured housing builders and home improvement centers. We purchase our products from over 750 vendors and serve as a national distributor for a number of our suppliers. We have two centralized
sales and procurement centers, one at our headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia and the second in Denver, Colorado. We own 61 warehouses and lease an additional two which in aggregate comprise over ten
million square feet of space under roof plus significant outdoor storage space. We distribute products through our owned fleet of 900 trucks and over 1,200 trailers, as well as by common carrier. </FONT></P>

invested over $400&nbsp;million of capital to restructure the division and enable it to (i)&nbsp;reduce its network of warehouses from 134 independently managed warehouses into a network of 63
larger, more efficient, and centrally managed distribution points, (ii)&nbsp;build a centralized information technology platform, and (iii)&nbsp;implement centralized purchasing and pricing
decision-making while maintaining a meaningful local sales and operating presence. Since 2000, we and the division have implemented several additional initiatives that have increased gross margins,
rationalized our cost structure, established coordinated business processes and improved customer service. On May&nbsp;7, 2004, Georgia-Pacific sold the division to ABP Distribution
Holdings&nbsp;Inc., or ABP, a new company owned by Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., a private, New York-based investment firm, and members of our management team. ABP is our
predecessor. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are the largest distributor in the U.S. building products distribution market. Within this market, a significant portion of products are sold using the
two-step distribution model. This means that distributors like ourselves buy building products from manufacturers and sell these products to industrial users, building materials dealers and retailers,
who in turn sell the products directly to the ultimate end user of the product. During the two-step distribution process, building
products are usually shipped from the manufacturer to the distributor's warehouse and then sold to the distributor's customer. </FONT></P>

distributors add value to product manufacturers and product users. Distributors take costs out of the supply chain by breaking bulk, providing product assortment and storage
capabilities, performing just-in-time service and providing "one-stop" shopping for a variety of products. Many users of building materials buy products from
distributors such as ourselves, instead of directly from manufacturers. Our customers are often not large enough to buy in bulk, lack the storage capacity for large orders and require a broader
product portfolio and more services than a single manufacturer or a limited assortment of manufacturers can provide. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
manufacturers, distributors provide a valuable sales and marketing function that allows manufacturers to extend the reach of their products to customers of all sizes. Many
manufacturers lack the sales and marketing infrastructure to sell to the large number of dealers directly and instead rely on distributors for this function. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;End
users of building products operate in five principal markets: (1)&nbsp;new home construction; (2)&nbsp;repair and remodeling; (3)&nbsp;manufactured housing;
(4)&nbsp;non-residential construction; and (5)&nbsp;industrial users. Most end users use a large number of suppliers. This highly fragmented distribution market is served by a small
number of national distributors, several regionally focused distributors and a large number of independent local distributors. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
estimate that the U.S. building products distribution market, which is the market where we primarily compete, generated approximately $39&nbsp;billion of revenues in 2003. We
estimate that we had an industry-leading market share of 10.9% in the United States building products distribution business in 2003, with the four largest distributors comprising only 31% of the
market and the remaining 69% consisting of more than 100 other smaller local competitors. Most major markets are served by at least two of the three largest competitors by market share. Additionally,

small, local competitors typically focused on more narrow niches. These local distributors tend to be closely held and often specialize in a limited number of product categories. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
believe the following industry conditions and trends will benefit our business: </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Increased market share opportunities for national distributors.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that national building products distributors, such
as ourselves, will gain market share due to the significant economies of scale they can employ to better serve their customer base. Nationwide distributors also have a significant competitive
advantage over local distributors in servicing multi-regional accounts, who are growing rapidly. These advantages include the geographic presence to service multi-regional accounts, as well as more
purchasing power, a broader offering of products and services, the availability of real-time nationwide market intelligence and sophisticated operating systems that offer value-added
service to customers. National distributors, such as ourselves, also are able to provide manufacturers with greater access to sales and distribution resources. We believe that our ability to leverage
the foregoing competitive advantages will enable us to continue to increase our market share. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fragmented industry and consolidation opportunities.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that the highly fragmented nature of our industry will lead
to consolidation, since larger distributors can more cost-effectively and efficiently meet the needs of customers and vendors. The building products distribution industry is comprised of a
small number of regional and multi-regional distributors and a large number of local distributors. We believe that having a publicly traded acquisition currency will prove to be an advantage in
pursuing acquisitions. As the largest independent nationwide distributor with a centralized platform, we believe we are well positioned to take advantage of acquisition opportunities and benefit from
industry consolidation. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;End user focus on reducing inventories and improving supply-chain efficiency.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Due to the extensive capital and storage space
required to maintain adequate inventories of building products, building materials dealers and end users seek ways to reduce their stocks through effective inventory management and
just-in-time delivery capabilities. As end users reduce their inventory levels, they increasingly rely on distributors to deliver a broader and deeper range of products on a
more frequent and timely basis. End users also seek more efficient receiving by reducing the number of truck deliveries to their locations by increasing the number of products delivered in a
truckload. We believe that the breadth and depth of our product portfolio,
as well as our ability to leverage our national network and scale, including our owned warehouses and fleet, and to provide value-added marketing, packaging and transportation services to our
customers effectively position us to benefit from these industry trends. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Secular growth of the new housing market.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homeownership Alliance projects that new housing starts will average between
1.8&nbsp;million and 2.2&nbsp;million units through 2013, fueled primarily by demographic trends. This exceeds the average annual housing starts of 1.37&nbsp;million in the 1990's and
1.68&nbsp;million during 2000 to 2003. According to RISI, the size of new homes is also increasing, with new homes built in 2003 more than 10% larger than homes constructed in 1993; we believe that
this trend should also help increase demand for building products. Approximately 50% of our net sales are derived from new housing starts. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Relative stability of repair&nbsp;and remodeling market.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that the repair&nbsp;and remodeling market is more
stable than the new housing market. As mortgage rates increase, homeowners have historically invested in remodeling their existing homes instead of moving into new homes. We believe that we are
well-positioned to benefit from the relative stability in this segment since approximately 15% of our net sales are derived from this market. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Recovery in the industrial, manufactured housing and nonresidential markets.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We estimate that approximately 35% of our fiscal
2003 net sales were attributable to industrial, manufactured housing </FONT></P>

non-residential construction markets. Based on RISI data weighted for our business, these sectors are expected to grow at rates of 5% in 2005, 6% in 2006, and 12% in 2007. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Increase in imports of building products.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Over the past five years, there has been a significant increase in imports of
building products from low-cost producing countries. For example, according to RISI, total U.S. imports of plywood have increased from less than 1% of plywood demand in 1998 to 8% of
demand in 2003. Foreign manufacturers typically lack a U.S. sales and marketing infrastructure and rely on distributors with a knowledgeable sales force and centralized presence to distribute their
products. As a nationwide distributor with a centralized business model, we are able to provide the sales and marketing infrastructure and distribution capabilities that foreign manufacturers need. </FONT></P>

<BR></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Our Competitive Strengths    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>We
believe that the following competitive strengths are the keys to our success: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Largest building products distributor in the United States  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe we are the largest U.S. distributor of building products, with a 10.9% market share in 2003. Unlike our two largest competitors who are owned by
manufacturers, our independence allows us to have independent control of our inventory management, as well as our product and vendor selection. We also believe that increased market information from
our nationwide footprint, broad market presence and centralized information systems enable us to make more informed pricing and inventory decisions. Our nationwide presence and centralized business
model also enables us to better serve multi-regional accounts. For example, net sales to our five largest customers grew by 29% during fiscal 2003. Finally, we believe that the geographic diversity of
our client base helps to insulate us from weather-related or other downturns in demand in any one particular region of the United States. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Centralized business structure with a meaningful local presence  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Georgia-Pacific, our previous owner, invested significant amounts of time and made capital investments of over $400&nbsp;million in our business from 1994 to
1997 to build a nationwide, centralized platform. The transformation from a decentralized to a centralized platform involved closing more than 80 distribution centers, building 13 new, larger
warehouse facilities and expanding other warehouses and moving all sales and marketing and continuing salaried employees to new sales centers in Atlanta and Denver. Given the time, effort and capital
involved in its establishment, we believe that our centralized business model is not easily replicable. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
believe that our centralized business model allows strategic oversight and captures economies of scale while allowing us to maintain a meaningful local sales and operating presence.
Centralizing sales, procurement, technology systems, accounting and strategic oversight allows the branch sales and operations teams to focus on local market requirements. Other benefits of our
centralized business structure include: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While
we enjoy the benefits of a centralized platform, we maintain a meaningful local sales and operating presence at each of our 63 branches, which allows us to respond to local trends,
local pricing and expand relationships with our customers. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Diversified customer base  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have over 11,700 customers, including building material dealers, industrial users of building products, manufactured housing builders and home improvement
centers. In 2003, we sold our products to 98 of the top 100 largest building products dealers in the United States, as listed by HCN in 2002, including major home improvement center chains. Our 10
largest customers accounted for approximately 18% of our fiscal 2003 net sales, and no single customer accounted for more than 4% of our fiscal 2003 net sales. Our diversified customer base ensures
that we are not dependent on any individual customer. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Extensive product and services offerings  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We distribute over 10,000 building products. By virtue of the breadth and depth of our product offering, we do not have to rely on any single product type and can
meet more of our customers' product needs than any of our competitors. The products we distribute include lumber, structural panels, hardwood plywood, particleboard, roofing, insulation, vinyl siding,
metal products and moulding. In addition, we provide an extensive package of services to our customers and vendors, including marketing, packaging and transportation services, inventory management and
end-user assistance services. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Strong relationships with vendors  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our vendor base includes over 750 suppliers. We have long-standing relationships with many of our major suppliers, including relationships of more
than 20 years with each of our top 10 vendors. We have primary or exclusive distribution agreements with many of our suppliers for certain of their products. For example, we act as a national
distributor for The Dow Chemical Company's STYROFOAM&reg; brand insulation and The Stanley Works' Bostitch&reg; collated fasteners and pneumatic tools. We also have private-label
arrangements with several vendors under which we serve as a national or regional distributor for particular products manufactured by these vendors. Purchases from Georgia-Pacific, our largest
supplier, accounted for approximately 32% of our fiscal 2003 purchases; no other supplier accounted for more than 5% of our fiscal 2003 purchases. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
believe that our strong relationship with Georgia-Pacific provides us a key competitive advantage. We are Georgia-Pacific's primary distributor for the United States and Canada, with
additional distribution rights in Mexico and certain islands in the Caribbean. We have exclusive distribution rights on numerous products. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Experienced management team whose interests are aligned with shareholders  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our senior management team has a blend of industry and functional experience, with our six senior operating managers averaging approximately 25&nbsp;years of
industry experience and 16&nbsp;years of employment with us and the division. Charles McElrea, our chief executive officer, has been in his current role for the past five years and has over
26&nbsp;years of forest products industry experience. George Judd, our president and chief operating officer, has over 20&nbsp;years of service with us and the division in a variety of roles,
including sales and marketing, operations and branch management. David Morris, our chief financial officer and treasurer, has been in his current role for the past five years and also brings over
20&nbsp;years of functional and industry experience. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
believe that our senior managers and employees have an ongoing stake in the creation of shareholder value. Our six senior operating managers have purchased 9.5% of our common stock in
connection with the acquisition transactions. Additionally, our senior managers have the ability to earn bonuses of up to 80 to 100% of their respective base salaries upon meeting specific operating, </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our mission is to provide cost-effective value-added supply-chain solutions for our customers and our vendors. We believe this approach enhances our
industry-leading position and maximizes shareholder value. We seek to achieve our objective by using our competitive strengths to take advantage of certain industry trends and conditions through the
following key strategy initiatives: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Continue to organically grow our unit volumes and revenues  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We intend to continue to organically grow our unit volumes and revenues by further penetrating our customer base, capturing new customer opportunities and
broadening our product and service offerings. We plan to build on our existing customer relationships to generate incremental sales by selling additional products as well as new services, such as
logistics solutions and inventory management solutions. We also plan to grow our customer base by growing our market share in core markets and extending our business into adjacent markets. For
example, we believe that we can grow sales to industrial users of building materials, such as cabinet manufacturers and structural metal fabricators, by leveraging our distribution network to deliver
products directly to them. Our dedicated sales force has targeted these industrial accounts to provide individualized solutions for their particular service needs. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have developed our own proprietary customer relationship management software, or CRM, and several sales force training initiatives to help us achieve our revenue and unit growth
initiatives. We believe these initiatives have helped accelerate our revenue and unit growth. Our unit volume grew 10.6% over the six months ended July&nbsp;3, 2004 as compared to the six months
ended June&nbsp;28, 2003 and has significantly outpaced the overall market growth of 6.7%. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Selectively pursue strategic acquisitions  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As an independent nationwide distributor with a centralized business platform and a publicly-traded stock, we believe that we are well positioned to be a leader
in the consolidation of our industry. Strategic acquisitions have not been common in the building products distribution industry. However, recent consolidation has been taking place at both the
customer and manufacturer levels, and we believe that pressure from larger end users and manufacturers will help drive consolidation in our industry. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
acquisition strategy will be to selectively pursue acquisitions that further expand our product offerings and customer base. We intend to focus on acquisitions of small and
medium-sized regional operators at prices that generate attractive returns on invested capital. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Expand our product portfolio and service offerings  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We intend to expand our product and service offerings to generate increased revenue. As a new independent entity separate from Georgia-Pacific, we have begun to
build relationships with new vendors and expect to add new products to our portfolio. We are also actively marketing distribution services for less-than-truckload deliveries,
allowing retailers to receive smaller shipment quantities in a broader product mix more frequently, thus reducing their capital employed. This service generates higher margins than our existing
product distribution business. In addition, in the longer term, we intend to explore the distribution of other products that complement our current products. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Leverage our operating platform  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our operating platform is highly scalable and we have the ability to grow significantly without incurring a substantial increase in fixed costs. We believe that
we have the capacity to support unit volume growth without having to incur significant capital expenditures to expand warehouse space, delivery capabilities or phone and information systems capacity.
We estimate that our ability to absorb unit growth in our existing infrastructure will enable us to derive operating margins on
incremental volume growth of more than double the level of our ongoing operating margins, and therefore to significantly enhance our returns on capital employed. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Further enhance operating margins and inventory management  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We sell over 10,000 different products to more than 11,700 customers nationwide. We distribute these products in two principal categories: structural products and
specialty products. Structural products include plywood panels, OSB and lumber. These products are primarily used for structural support, walls, flooring and roofing in construction projects.
Additional end uses of our structural products include outdoor decks, sheathing, crates and boxes. Approximately 55% of our fiscal 2003 net sales consisted of structural products. Specialty products
include engineered lumber, roofing, insulation, metal products, vinyl products (used primarily in siding), moulding and particleboard. Specialty products generated 45% of our net sales during fiscal
2003. In some cases, these
products are branded. Branded products include Georgia-Pacific Plytanium&#153; brand plywood, The Dow Chemical Company's STYROFOAM&reg; brand insulation, The Stanley Works'
Bostitch&reg; collated fasteners and pneumatic tools, a line of private-labeled vinyl siding manufactured by Variform and fiberglass insulation manufactured by Guardian Fiberglass. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Warehouse Sales  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Warehouse sales are delivered from our warehouses to dealers, home improvement centers and industrial users. We deliver products primarily using our fleet of 900
trucks and over 1,200 trailers, but also occasionally use common carriers for peak load flexibility. We operate in all of the major metropolitan areas in the United States through our network of 63
warehouses and third-party operated warehouses. Our warehouses have over ten million square feet of space under roof plus significant outdoor storage space. Warehouse sales accounted for approximately
59% of our fiscal 2003 net sales. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Reload Sales  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reload sales are similar to warehouse sales but are shipped from third-party warehouses where we store owned product in order to expand our geographic reach. This
channel is employed primarily to service strategic customers that would be uneconomical to service from our warehouses and to distribute large volumes of imported products such as metal or hardwood
plywood from port facilities. A large portion of our Canadian sales are reload sales. We lease space at some third-party warehouse facilities in Canada. Reload sales accounted for approximately 9% of
our fiscal 2003 net sales. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Direct Sales  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Direct sales are shipped from the manufacturer to the customer without our taking physical inventory possession. In some cases we take ownership of inventory
during transit. This channel requires the lowest amount of committed capital and fixed costs. Direct sales accounted for approximately 32% of our fiscal 2003 net sales. </FONT></P>

Denver and Atlanta. Within these sales centers, our sales representatives primarily interact with our customers over the telephone. The remaining 350 sales representatives are located throughout
the country and are responsible for maintaining a local dialogue with our customers, including making frequent, in-person visits. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
sales force is separated between industrial/dealer sales and home improvement center sales. Industrial/dealer sales are managed by regional vice-presidents with sales
teams organized by customer regions. The majority of industrial/dealer orders are processed by telephone and are facilitated by our centralized database of customer preferences and purchasing history.
Home center sales are led by national sales representatives who supervise in-store field representatives and by dedicated teams for The Home Depot and Lowe's. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Suppliers  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our vendor base includes over 750 suppliers of both structural and specialty building products. In some cases, these products are branded. We have supply
contracts in place with many of our vendors. Terms for these agreements frequently include prompt payment discounts and freight allowances and occasionaly include volume discounts, growth incentives,
marketing allowances, consigned inventory and extended payment terms. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Purchases
of products manufactured by Georgia-Pacific accounted for approximately 32% of total purchases in fiscal 2003, with no other supplier accounting for more than 5% of fiscal 2003
purchases. In fiscal 2003, the division purchased 8% of its lumber, 59% of its structural panels and 24% of its specialty products from Georgia-Pacific. As part of the acquisition transactions, we
entered into a Master Purchase, Supply&nbsp;&amp; Distribution Agreement with Georgia-Pacific. Under the supply agreement, we have substantial minimum purchase volume commitments with respect to most of
the products supplied to us. If we fail or refuse to purchase any products that we are obligated to purchase pursuant to the supply agreement, Georgia-Pacific has the right to sell products to third
parties and for certain products terminate our exclusivity and we may be required to pay monetary penalties. The agreement has a five-year initial term followed by an "evergreen" provision
and requires two years' notice, exercisable after year four, to terminate. The agreement also details distribution rights by product categories. The supply agreement may be terminated by either party
for material breach. However, if the material breach only affects one or
more, but not all, of the product categories, the non-breaching party may only terminate the affected product categories and the remaining product categories will remain in full force. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Competition  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The U.S. building products distribution market had approximately $39&nbsp;billion in sales in 2003. This highly fragmented market is served by a small number of
multi-regional distributors, several regionally focused distributors and a large number of independent local distributors. Local and regional distributors tend to be closely held and often specialize
in a limited number of segments, such as the roofing segment, in which they offer a broader selection of products. Some of our multi-regional competitors are part of larger companies and therefore
have access to greater financial and other resources than we do. We compete on the basis of breadth of product offering, consistent availability of product, product price and quality, reputation,
service and distribution facility location. We held an industry-leading 10.9% market share based on our net sales in fiscal 2003. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
two largest competitors are Weyerhaeuser Company, or Weyerhaeuser, and Boise Cascade Corporation, or Boise Cascade. Weyerhaeuser and Boise Cascade are integrated building products
manufacturers-distributors which offer products manufactured by them as well as third-party manufactured products. We estimate that the market shares of Weyerhaeuser and Boise Cascade in </FONT></P>

labor unions and 45 out of our 63 facilities are union sites. As of August&nbsp;31, 2004, we had approximately 49 collective bargaining agreements, of which one is up for renewal before
December&nbsp;31, 2004 and five are up for renewal in 2005. We consider our relationship with our employees generally to be good. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our operations are subject to various federal, state, provincial and local laws, rules and regulations. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
are subject to environmental laws, rules and regulations that limit discharges into the environment, establish standards for the handling, generation, emission, release, discharge,
treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous materials, substances and wastes, and require cleanup of contaminated soil and groundwater. These laws, ordinances and regulations are complex, change
frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. Many of them provide for substantial fines and penalties, orders (including orders to cease operations) and criminal sanctions for
violations. They may also impose liability for property damage and personal injury stemming from the presence of, or exposure to hazardous substances. In addition, certain of our operations require us
to obtain, maintain compliance with, and periodically renew permits. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Certain
of these laws, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, may require the investigation and cleanup of an entity's or its predecessor's
current or former properties, even if the associated contamination was caused by the operations of a third party. These laws also may require the investigation and cleanup of third-party sites at
which an entity or its predecessor sent hazardous wastes for disposal, notwithstanding that the original disposal activity accorded with all applicable requirements. Liability under such laws may be
imposed jointly and severally, and regardless of fault. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Georgia-Pacific
has agreed to indemnify us against any claim arising from environmental conditions that existed prior to May&nbsp;7, 2004. In addition, we carry environmental
insurance. While we do not expect to incur significant independent costs associated with these projects, there can be no assurance that all such costs will be covered by indemnification or insurance. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
also are subject to the requirements of U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA. In order to maintain compliance with applicable OSHA
requirements, we have established uniform safety and compliance procedures for our operations and implemented measures to prevent workplace injuries. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
U.S. Department of Transportation, or DOT, regulates our operations in domestic interstate commerce. We are subject to safety requirements governing interstate operations prescribed
by the DOT. Vehicle dimensions and driver hours of service also remain subject to both federal and state regulation. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have incurred and will continue to incur costs to comply with the requirements of environmental, health and safety and transportation laws, ordinances and regulations. We anticipate
that these requirements will become more stringent in the future, and we cannot assure you that compliance costs will not be material. </FONT></P>

Our sales center applications support over 600 inside sales personnel processing approximately 2.9&nbsp;million annual inbound calls. Call routing, caller ID, screen pop and the SMART order entry
application are all integrated to route a customer call to the designated sales team based on a combination of account assignment, customer service needs, geographic location and product type. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
business's primary integration with customers and suppliers is by means of Electronic Data Exchange, or EDI. We currently receive 18% of all of our orders through EDI from 15 large
customers while receiving purchase orders from 45 suppliers. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;New Software Initiatives.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are in the process of implementing revenue optimization software that allows each sales
representative to identify the real-time market price for our products in each market. This information is systematically linked into our sales quote system providing each sales representative pricing
on real-time market dynamics. We have successfully completed a three-month validation trial in four markets representing 11% of our net sales and are now implementing the software across all of our
markets. We have plans to complete implementation by the end of the second quarter of 2005. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally,
we have developed an inventory management system designed to enhance our inventory management. Replenishment recommendations are automated based on forecasted sales, lead
times, economic order quantities and desired customer service levels. This application not only allows us to better forecast our needs but also allows us to provide our vendors more reliable market
information upon which to base their production planning than our non-centralized competitors. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Trademarks  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have 37 U.S. trademark applications and registrations, one issued U.S. patent and one Canadian trademark registration. We do not believe our business is
dependent on any one of our trademarks or on our patent. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Litigation  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any of these
actions will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources. </FONT></P>

the plan. Bonuses are allocated from a pool amount based on our achievement of targets set each year. The allocations to participants are determined by measuring the extent to which each separate
target is achieved combined with a weighing for each target. The targets are based on EBITDA, return on net assets and free cash flow. Over 250 of our employees, including our named executive
officers, participate in our bonus plan. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On May&nbsp;7, 2004, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Cerberus and certain of our executives including Charles&nbsp;H. McElrea,
George&nbsp;R. Judd, David&nbsp;J. Morris and Steven&nbsp;C. Hardin. Certain provisions of the registration rights agreement are summarized below. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Demand Registration Rights.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cerberus has demand registration rights, but subject to certain requirements pursuant to the
registration rights agreement, we are not required to pay registration expenses for more than four demand registrations. In addition, if, at a time when we are eligible to do so, Cerberus requests
that we file&nbsp;a registration statement on Form&nbsp;S-3 for a public offering of all or any portion of its registrable securities, we are required to use our reasonable best
efforts to register for public sale the registrable securities specified in such request. These requests are not subject to the four-registration limit applicable to demand registrations. Cerberus may

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Incidental Registration Rights.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If, after an initial public offering of equity securities, we propose to register any of our
securities under the Securities Act (other than in a registration on Form&nbsp;S-4 or S-8 and other than pursuant to the preceding paragraph), we must notify all holders of
registrable securities of our intention and upon the request of any holder, subject to certain restrictions, effect the registration of all securities requested by holders to be so registered. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant
to the registration rights agreement, we will pay all registration expenses and indemnify each holder of registrable securities with respect to each registration which has been
effected. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Term Loan  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On May&nbsp;7, 2004, our operating company entered into a $100&nbsp;million term loan with Goldman Sachs, as sole lead arranger, sole bookrunner, sole
syndication agent, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and various financial institutions from time to time as lenders. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subsequently,
Cerberus acquired $69&nbsp;million in aggregate principal amount of the term loan and Aozora Bank Ltd., an affiliate of Cerberus acquired $25&nbsp;million of the term
loan. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from the offering to repay in full the principal and interest owed under the term loan, including the portion held by Cerberus and its affiliate. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Real Property Mortgage  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant
to the terms of our mortgage, entered into on May&nbsp;7, 2004, ABPMC, an affiliate of Cerberus, loaned us $100&nbsp;million. This loan, which bears interest at 10% per
annum, and which matures on December&nbsp;15, 2010, is secured by mortgages encumbering all of our wholly-owned warehouse facilities and is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. Our current
mortgage will be repaid simultaneously with the closing of the offering. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Simultaneously
with the offering, our operating company will enter into a new mortgage with respect to its owned real property. The mortgage will be provided by a third party not
affiliated with our company. The new mortgage will be used to pay off in full our existing mortgage. </FONT></P>

Statement of which this prospectus is a part.</I></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>General  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our authorized capital stock consists of&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of
which&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shares are issued and
outstanding, and&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. Of the amount of authorized preferred stock, 95,000 shares of our preferred stock are designated
series&nbsp;A
preferred stock, of which 95,000 shares are issued and outstanding prior to the consummation of this offering. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds of the offering and our concurrent mortgage
refinancing to redeem the outstanding series&nbsp;A preferred stock for cash. See "Use of Proceeds." </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Common Stock  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon the consummation of this offering, there will be&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shares of common stock outstanding (assuming no
exercise of the underwriters'
over-allotment option or outstanding options). All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable, and the shares of common stock that will be issued on completion of
this offering will be fully paid and nonassessable. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding
series of preferred stock, the holders of our common stock will receive ratably any dividends declared by our board of directors. Our board of directors may, at its discretion, modify or repeal our
dividend policy. Future dividends, if any, with respect to shares of our common stock will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition, contractual
restrictions, provisions of applicable law and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. See "Dividend Policy." In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up,
the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Preferred Stock  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our board of directors has the authority, by adopting resolutions, to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series, with the designations and preferences
for each series set forth in the adopting resolutions. Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to determine, among other things, the rights, preferences and limitations
pertaining to each series of preferred stock. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws indemnify our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The DGCL permits a corporation to limit or
eliminate a director's personal liability to the corporation or the holders of its capital stock for breach of duty. This limitation is generally unavailable for acts or omissions by a director which
(i)&nbsp;were in bad faith, (ii)&nbsp;were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated or (iii)&nbsp;involved a financial profit or
other advantage to which such director was not legally entitled. The DGCL also prohibits limitations on director liability for acts or omissions which resulted in a violation of a statute prohibiting
certain dividend declarations, certain payments to stockholders </FONT></P>

may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider to be in its best interests, including
attempts that might result in a premium being paid over the market price for the shares held by stockholders. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our

us to issue, without any further vote or action by our stockholders, up to&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shares of preferred stock in one or more series and, with respect to each

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
foregoing provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control. These provisions
are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by our board of directors and to discourage certain types
of
transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions also are
intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and, as a
consequence, they also may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of the common stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions also may have the effect of
preventing changes in our management. See "Risk Factors&#151;Risks Related to the Offering&#151;Even if Cerberus no longer controls us in the future, certain provisions of our charter
documents and agreements and Delaware law could discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition at a premium price." </FONT></P>

options. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, assuming no exercise of outstanding options, we will have&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shares of common stock outstanding. All
of the shares that we sell in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except that any shares purchased by our affiliates, as that

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Revolving Credit Facility  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On May&nbsp;7, 2004, our operating company entered into a revolving credit facility with Congress Financial Corporation, or Congress, as administrative and
collateral agent, Congress and Goldman Sachs as co-lead arrangers and co-syndication agents, Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC, as documentation agents and
various financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders. </FONT></P>

net amount of eligible accounts </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>plus</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> (b)&nbsp;the lesser of (i)&nbsp;70% (or 75% during the seasonal period) of the sum of (A)&nbsp;the value of

in-transit inventory and (D)&nbsp;the value of eligible re-load inventory or (ii)&nbsp;85% of the sum of the net orderly liquidation value; </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>provided, however,</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> revolving loans outstanding with respect to
the eligible domestic in-transit inventory, the eligible international
in-transit inventory and the eligible re-load inventory shall not exceed, in the aggregate at any one time outstanding, the lesser of (x)&nbsp;$65&nbsp;million or

priority security interest in all our operating company's other personal property. </FONT></P>

operating company's election. Interest rates payable upon such advances are based upon the prime rate or eurodollar rate depending on the type of loan our operating company chooses, plus an applicable
margin. The prime rate is defined as the rate of interest then most recently established by Wachovia Bank, National Association, as its prime rate for dollars loaned in the United States. The
eurodollar rate is based upon the average of rates of interest per annum at which Wachovia Bank, National Association is offered deposits of United States dollars in the London interbank market
adjusted by the reserve percentage prescribed by governmental authorities. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
general, the applicable interest rate for prime rate loans is a per annum rate equal to the prime rate plus three-quarters of one (0.75) percentage point. For eurodollar rate loans,
the applicable interest rate will generally be a per annum rate equal to the adjusted eurodollar rate (based on the eurodollar rate applicable for the interest period selected by our operating company
as in effect three (3)&nbsp;business days after the date of receipt by the agent of the request for such eurodollar rate loans, whether such rate is higher or lower than any rate previously quoted
to our operating company) plus two and one-quarter (2.25) percentage points. However, the applicable interest rates for prime rate and eurodollar loans are subject to the following
adjustments: </FONT></P>

<BR></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following summary describes the material United States federal income and estate tax consequences of the ownership of common stock by a Non-U.S.
Holder (as defined below) as of the date hereof. This discussion does not address all aspects of United States federal income and estate taxes and does not deal with foreign, state and local
consequences that may be relevant to such Non-U.S. Holders in light of their personal circumstances. Special rules may apply to certain Non-U.S. Holders, such as United States
expatriates, "controlled foreign corporations," "passive foreign investment companies," "foreign personal holding companies," corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid United States federal
income tax, and investors in pass-through entities that are subject to special treatment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. Such Non-U.S. Holders
are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine the United States federal, state, local and other tax consequences that may be relevant to them. Furthermore, the discussion below is based
upon the provisions of the Code, and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions thereunder as of the date hereof, and such authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified, perhaps retroactively, so
as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Persons considering the purchase, ownership or disposition of common stock
are urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the United States federal income tax consequences in light of their particular situations as well as any consequences arising under the laws of
any other taxing jurisdiction.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
a partnership holds the common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Persons who are
partners of partnerships holding the common stock are urged to consult their tax advisors. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
used herein, a "U.S. Holder" of common stock means a holder that is for United States federal income tax purposes (i)&nbsp;a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii)&nbsp;a
corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, (iii)&nbsp;an estate the income of which is subject to United States
federal income taxation regardless of its source or (iv)&nbsp;a trust if it (X)&nbsp;is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons
have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (Y)&nbsp;has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States
person. A "Non-U.S. Holder" is a holder that is not a U.S. Holder. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Dividends  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of common stock generally will be subject to withholding of United States federal income tax at a 30% rate or such
lower rate as may be
specified by an applicable income tax treaty. However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States and,
where a tax treaty applies, are attributable to a United States permanent establishment of the Non-U.S. Holder, are not subject to the withholding tax, but instead are subject to United
States federal income tax on a net income basis at applicable graduated individual or corporate rates. Certain certification and disclosure requirements must be satisfied for effectively connected
income to be exempt from withholding. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" at a 30% rate or such lower rate
as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
Non-U.S. Holder of common stock who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate (and avoid backup withholding as discussed below) for dividends, will be
required to (a)&nbsp;complete Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, Form&nbsp;W-8BEN (or other applicable form) and certify under penalties of perjury, that such holder is not a United
States person or (b)&nbsp;if the common </FONT></P>

apply to certain Non-U.S. Holders that are entities rather than individuals. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
Non-U.S. Holder of common stock eligible for a reduced rate of United States withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts
withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Gain on Disposition of Common Stock  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax with respect to gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of
common stock unless (i)&nbsp;the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States, and, where a tax treaty applies, is attributable to a
United States permanent establishment of the Non-U.S. Holder (ii)&nbsp;in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder who is an individual and holds the common stock as a capital asset,
such holder is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met, or (iii)&nbsp;the company is or has been a
"United States real property holding corporation" for United States federal income tax purposes. The Company believes it is not, has not been and does not anticipate becoming a "United States real
property holding corporation" for United States federal income tax purposes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An
individual Non-U.S. Holder described in clause&nbsp;(i) above will be subject to tax on the net gain derived from the sale under regular graduated United States federal
income tax rates. An individual Non-U.S. Holder described in clause&nbsp;(ii) above will be subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale, which may be offset by United
States source capital losses (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States). If a Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation falls under
clause&nbsp;(i) above, it will be subject to tax on its gain under regular graduated United States federal income tax rates and, in addition, may be subject to the branch profits tax equal to 30% of
its effectively connected earnings and profits or at such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Federal Estate Tax  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Common stock held by an individual Non-U.S. Holder at the time of death will be included in such holder's gross estate for United States federal
estate tax purposes, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Information Reporting and Backup Withholding  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company must report annually to the IRS and to each Non-U.S. Holder the amount of dividends paid to such holder and the tax withheld with respect
to such dividends, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the
country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to backup withholding unless applicable certification requirements are met. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Information
reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding, will apply to the proceeds of a sale of common stock within the United States or conducted through United
States related financial intermediaries unless the beneficial owner certifies under penalties of perjury that it is a Non-U.S. Holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or
reason to know that the beneficial owner is a United States person) or the holder otherwise establishes an exemption. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any
amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against such holder's United States federal income tax liability provided the required

on the issuance of the earnings release of the announcement of the material news or material event. This agreement does not apply to any existing employee benefit plans. See "Shares
Available for Future Sale" for a discussion of certain transfer restrictions. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior
to the offering, there has been no public market for the shares. The initial public offering price has been negotiated among the company and the representatives. Among the factors
to be considered in determining the initial public offering price of the shares, in addition to prevailing market conditions, will be the company's historical performance, estimates of the business
potential and earnings prospects of the company, an assessment of the company's management and the consideration of the above factors in relation to market valuation of companies in related
businesses. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An
application has been made to list the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "BXC". In order to meet one of the requirements for listing the common stock on the
NYSE, the underwriters have undertaken to sell lots of 100 or more shares to a minimum of 2,000 beneficial holders. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares of common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions
and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering. "Covered"
short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares from the company in the offering. The underwriters may close out any covered short
position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the
underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase additional shares pursuant to the
option granted to them. "Naked" short sales are any sales in excess of such option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short
position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the open market after
pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of common stock made by the underwriters in the open
market prior to the completion of the offering. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the
representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Purchases
to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the company's stock, and together with
the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the common stock. As a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that
otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued at any time. These transactions may be effected on the New York Stock Exchange, in the
over-the-counter market or otherwise. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each
underwriter has represented, warranted and agreed that: (i)&nbsp;it has not offered or sold and, prior to the expiry of a period of six months from the Closing date, will not
offer or sell any shares to persons in the United Kingdom except to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent)
for the purposes of their businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers

Board of Directors<BR>
Georgia-Pacific Corporation </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have audited the accompanying statements of certain assets and liabilities of the Building Products Distribution Division of Georgia-Pacific Corporation as of January&nbsp;3, 2004
and December&nbsp;28, 2002 and the related statements of revenues and direct expenses, direct cash flows and parent's investment for each of the three years in the period ended January&nbsp;3,
2004 (collectively the "Divisional Statements"). These statements are the responsibility of Georgia-Pacific Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these statements
based on our audit. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Divisional Statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the Divisional Statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall Divisional Statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
described in Note&nbsp;1, the statements referred to above have been prepared for the purpose of a possible sale of the Building Products Distribution Division of Georgia-Pacific
Corporation, and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Building Products Distribution Division of Georgia-Pacific Corporation's financial position or results of operations as if it
were operated on a stand-alone basis. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
our opinion, the statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects certain assets and liabilities of the Building Products Distribution Division of Georgia-Pacific
Corporation at
January&nbsp;3, 2004 and December&nbsp;28, 2002 and its revenues and direct expenses, direct cash flows and parent's investment, for each of the three years in the period ended January&nbsp;3,

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Basis of Presentation  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The financial statements of the Building Products Distribution Division (the "Division") of Georgia-Pacific Corporation (the "Corporation" or "Georgia-Pacific")
reflect the accounts and results of certain operations of the business conducted by the Division. The accompanying combined financial statements of the Division have been prepared from
Georgia-Pacific's historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis reflecting these certain assets, liabilities, and operations. The Division is an unincorporated
business of the Corporation and, accordingly, Georgia-Pacific's net investment in these operations (parent's net investment) is presented in lieu of stockholder's equity. All significant intradivision
transactions have been eliminated. The financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows that might have occurred had the Division
been an independent entity not integrated into Georgia-Pacific's other operations. Also, they may not be indicative of the actual financial position that might have otherwise resulted, or of future
results of operations or financial position of the Division. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Allocation of Costs from Georgia-Pacific  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Corporation charges the Division for the estimated cost of certain functions that are managed by the Corporation and can reasonably be directly attributed to
the operations of the Division. These costs include dedicated human resource, legal, accounting, and information systems support. The charges to the Division are based on management's estimate of such
services specifically used by the Division. Where determinations based on specific usage alone have been impracticable, other methods and criteria were used that management believes are equitable and
provide a reasonable estimate of the cost attributable to the Division. The total of these allocations was $19&nbsp;million, $15&nbsp;million and $14&nbsp;million in 2003, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. Additionally, the costs of certain centralized departments that serve all of Georgia-Pacific's businesses, including internal audit, cash management, risk management and tax department
services have not been charged to the Division because management believes that the incremental cost of services provided to the Division is not significant. Such allocations are not intended to
represent the costs that would be or would have been incurred if the Division were an independent business. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
amount of parent's investment included in the balance sheet represents a net balance as the result of various transactions between the Division and Georgia-Pacific. There are no
terms of settlement or interest charges associated with the account balance. The balance is primarily the result of the Division's participation in Georgia-Pacific's central cash management program,
wherein all the Division's cash receipts are remitted to Georgia-Pacific and all cash disbursements are funded by Georgia-Pacific. Other transactions include intercompany purchases and sales, certain
direct and allocated portions of legal, environmental, self-insurance and human resource obligations administered by Georgia-Pacific, as well as the Division's share of the current portion
of the parent's consolidated federal and state income tax liability and various other administrative expenses incurred by the parent on the Division's behalf. As a result, obligations for these
matters are not reflected on the accompanying balance sheet. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A portion of the Corporation's employee benefit costs, including pension and postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefits, has been allocated to the
Division. The Division was allocated pension and other employee benefit costs related to its participation in the Corporation's noncontributory defined benefit pension plans and postretirement
healthcare and life insurance benefit plans. The allocation was determined by independent actuaries and was based on the number of its employees and their attributable benefits and an attributable
share of plan assets and related benefit accounting items and is calculated in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS No.&nbsp;87, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Employers'

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Division has not been allocated a portion of Georgia-Pacific's consolidated debt. No portion of Georgia-Pacific's interest expense has been allocated to the

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Allowance for Doubtful Accounts  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Division provides an allowance for receivables it believes may not be collectible. Specific reserves are recorded where a specific customer has an inability
to pay. For all other customers, reserves are recognized based on historical collection experience. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Long-Lived Assets  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.
For assets to be held and used, an impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted net future cash flows is less than the carrying value. If an impairment exists, an adjustment is made to
write the asset down to its estimated fair value and an impairment loss is recorded for the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Revenue Recognition  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Division recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been
rendered, the Division's price to the buyer is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Delivery is not considered to have occurred until the customer takes title and assumes
the risks and rewards of ownership. The timing of revenue recognition is largely dependent on shipping terms. Revenue is recorded at the time of shipment for terms designated as FOB (free on board)
shipping point. For sales transactions designated FOB destination, revenue is recorded when the product is delivered to the customer's delivery site. Discounts and allowances are comprised of trade
allowances, cash discounts and sales returns. Cash discounts and sales returns are estimated using historical experience. Trade allowances are based on the estimated obligations and historical
experience. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Shipping and Handling  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling are classified as revenue. Shipping and handling costs included in selling and
distribution expenses were $136&nbsp;million, $125&nbsp;million and $123&nbsp;million in fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Advertising Costs  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses of $7.379&nbsp;million, $5.536&nbsp;million, and $4.946&nbsp;million were included in
selling and distribution expense for fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Inventory Valuation  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inventories purchased from unaffiliated entities are valued at the lower of moving average cost or market. The last-in, first-out (LIFO)
method was used to determine the cost of those inventories purchased from the Corporation which are approximately 27% and 35% of inventories at January&nbsp;3, 2004 and December&nbsp;28, 2002,
respectively. Inventories consist primarily of finished goods. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Property, Plant, and Equipment  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Lease obligations for which the Division assumes or retains substantially all the property rights and risks
of ownership are capitalized. Replacements of major units of property are capitalized and the replaced properties are retired. Replacements of minor components of property and repair and maintenance
costs are charged to expense as incurred. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Depreciation
is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Useful lives are 25&nbsp;years for land improvements, 20 to
45&nbsp;years for
buildings, and 3 to 20&nbsp;years for machinery and equipment. Upon retirement or disposition of assets, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss
is included in income. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Division is allocated interest on projects when construction takes considerable time and entails major expenditures. Such interest is charged to the property, plant, and equipment
accounts and amortized over the approximate lives of the related assets. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Compensated Absences and Termination Costs  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Division accrued for the costs of compensated absences to the extent that the employee's right to receive payment relates to service already rendered, the
obligation vests or accumulates, payment is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In 2001, the Division changed its vacation plans regarding salaried and certain
non-bargaining hourly employees such that vacation can no longer be carried forward and must be taken in the year earned. Accordingly, related accruals of approximately
$7.966&nbsp;million were reversed in 2001. The Division incurred costs associated with employee terminations primarily related to sales and administrative staff reductions. The amount charged to
expense was approximately $4&nbsp;million in 2001. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Stock-Based Compensation  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Certain of the Division's employees participate in equity compensation plans sponsored by the Corporation. The Corporation's plans authorize grants of stock
options, restricted stock and performance awards with respect to Georgia-Pacific common stock. As of January&nbsp;3, 2004, employees of the Division held options to purchase 84,293 shares of
Georgia-Pacific common stock at exercise prices ranging from $25.84 to $64.71 per share. Employees of the Division also held 193,732 stock appreciation rights at exercise prices ranging from $15.22 to
$29.47. In addition, employees of the Division held 260,990 shares of restricted stock and 90,776 performance award units. The shares of restricted stock vest in three annual installments, 25% each on
June&nbsp;5, 2004 and 2005, and 50% on June&nbsp;5, 2006. During 2003, employees of the Division were granted 260,990 shares of restricted stock, and 176,782 stock appreciation rights </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Until
2003, the Corporation accounted for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board, or APB Opinion No.&nbsp;25 and disclosed the pro forma
effects on net income as provided by SFAS No.&nbsp;123, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. However, effective at the beginning of fiscal 2003,
Georgia-Pacific adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation utilizing the prospective method provided for in SFAS No.148, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation&#151;Transition and Disclosure</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. Under the prospective method, stock options awarded or modified in 2003 and thereafter are accounted for using

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Income Taxes  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Division computed an income tax provision as though it filed separate returns. The Division is included in the Corporation's consolidated federal income tax
return and the consolidated returns of certain states. Current taxes are paid by the Corporation and any obligation related thereto are not reflected in the accompanying balance sheet. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Deferred
income taxes are provided using the liability method under the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;109 </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Accounting for Income Taxes</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>.
Accordingly, deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the income tax and financial reporting bases of the asset and liabilities of the Division based on enacted tax laws and tax
rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Foreign Currency Translation  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The functional currency for Canadian operations is the Canadian dollar. The translation of the applicable currencies into United States dollars is performed for
balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Any related
translation adjustments are recorded directly in parent's investment. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Use of Estimates  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain
estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Accounting Standards Changes  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In December&nbsp;2002, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;148, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation&#151;Transition and
Disclosure</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. SFAS No.&nbsp;148 amends SFAS No.&nbsp;123 to provide alternative methods of transition to SFAS No.&nbsp;123's fair value method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation. SFAS No.&nbsp;148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;123, to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an
entity's accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income in </FONT></P>

financial statements. The disclosure provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;148 are applicable to all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they account for that
compensation using the fair value method of SFAS No.&nbsp;123 or the intrinsic value method of APB Opinion No.&nbsp;25. SFAS No.&nbsp;148's amendment of the transition and annual disclosure
requirements of SFAS No.&nbsp;123 are effective for fiscal years ending after December&nbsp;15, 2002. The additional disclosures required under SFAS No.&nbsp;148 have been included in this
footnote under the caption "Stock-Based Compensation." </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
January&nbsp;2003, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No.&nbsp;46 ("FIN46"), </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB
No.&nbsp;51</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. FIN46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have
the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other
parties. FIN46 is effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January&nbsp;31, 2003. In December the FASB published a revision to FIN 46, or FIN&nbsp;46R, to clarify
some of the provisions of the interpretation and to defer the effective date of implementation for certain entities. Under the guidance of FIN&nbsp;46R, entities that do not have interest in
structures that are commonly referred to as special purpose entities are required to apply the provisions of the interpretation in financial statements for periods ending after March&nbsp;14, 2004. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Division does not believe that they have interests in special purpose entities. Additionally, the Division does not believe that the adoption of FIN&nbsp;46R will affect its
financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Fiscal Reporting Periods  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Division's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December&nbsp;31. For 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Division's fiscal year ended on January&nbsp;3,
2004, December&nbsp;28, 2002 and December&nbsp;29, 2001, respectively. Typically, the Division's fiscal year consists of 52 weeks ending on Saturday. However,
because the current fiscal year ended on January&nbsp;3, 2004, our fiscal year 2003 consisted of 53 weeks. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Division purchases a substantial amount of its inventory from Georgia-Pacific, principally lumber, structural panels and industrial wood products (including
particleboard, hardboard and softboard). Such transactions are in the ordinary course of business at negotiated prices determined between the Division and Georgia-Pacific and may not reflect spot
market prices. Sales to Georgia-Pacific were $8&nbsp;million, $10&nbsp;million, and $12&nbsp;million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Purchases from Georgia-Pacific were
$1,071&nbsp;million, $1,074&nbsp;million, and $1,155&nbsp;million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In 2003, the Division transferred approximately $1.6&nbsp;million of fixed assets to
other Georgia-Pacific divisions in non-cash transfers. In 2002 and 2001 Georgia-Pacific Corporation transferred approximately $0.8&nbsp;million and $2.2&nbsp;million, respectively, of
fixed assets to the Division in non-cash transfers. Amounts payable to or receivable from Georgia-Pacific are settled through intercompany accounts at the end of each month. All
settlements with Georgia-Pacific are classified as "Net transactions with Georgia-Pacific Corporation" in the accompanying combined statements of parent's investment and cash flows. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Receivables  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Division has a diversified customer base concentrated in the building products business. Credit risk is monitored and provisions for expected losses are
provided as determined necessary by management. The Division generally does not require collateral. The fair value of the accounts receivable approximates the carrying value. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Georgia-Pacific
maintains an accounts receivable secured borrowing program in which receivables of the Corporation and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries participate. Such
receivables are sold to G-P Receivables,&nbsp;Inc., or G-P Receivables, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation and the special purpose entity to which the receivables of the
Corporation and participating domestic subsidiaries are sold. Georgia-Pacific accounts for this program as a secured borrowing. As collections reduce previously pledged interests, new receivables may
be pledged. The accounts receivable secured borrowing programs contain various restrictive covenants. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
receivables presented in the accompanying statements of certain divisional assets and liabilities are those that arose from the operations of the Division. However, they are subject
to the secured borrowing program discussed above and have been presented in the accompanying statements in order to more accurately reflect the Division's business. The corresponding obligations which
the receivables secure are not presented. </FONT></P>

recorded a receivables-related reserve related to a claim associated with a customer's bankruptcy filing in 2000 which was brought against the Corporation alleging that
the Corporation received preferential payments. The original $4&nbsp;million reserve represented the Division's estimated liability at that time. During 2001, the claim was reevaluated based on
investigations to that date, and the Division's estimated liability was reduced to $3&nbsp;million. In the fourth quarter of 2002, the case was settled, and the Division's portion of the settlement
was approximately $1.2&nbsp;million. The remaining $1.8&nbsp;million reserve was reversed to income at that time. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Employees of the Division participate in various pension and health and welfare plans sponsored by the Corporation. A portion of the Corporation's employee
benefit costs has been allocated to the Division for its participation in these noncontributory defined benefit pension plans and postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans.
Approximately $10.770&nbsp;million, $9.541&nbsp;million and $4.450&nbsp;million has been recorded in the accompanying statements of operations for the fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001,
respectively, related to the Division employees' participation in the Corporation's defined benefit pension and postretirement plans. The obligations for these future costs are not reflected in the
accompanying balance sheet. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
allocation of these costs has been based on a combination of the number of employees, employee salaries, or specifically attributable benefits within each plan. The allocated pension
and postretirement healthcare expense is the resulting proportional amount of that cost calculated in accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;87, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Employers' Accounting for
Pensions</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, and SFAS No.&nbsp;106, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, respectively. The
Division has accounted for its participation in the Corporation's noncontributory defined benefit pension plans in accordance with multi-employer pension plan guidance in SFAS No.&nbsp;87. The
Division's participation in Georgia-Pacific's pension plans qualifies as one employer in a multi-employer pension plan in accordance with SAB No.&nbsp;55, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Allocation of

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Basis of Presentation  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Regulation&nbsp;S-X promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission related to interim period financial statements and, therefore, do not include all pertinent information and footnotes normally included in the financial statements
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of BlueLinx
Corporation, formally known as the Building Products Distribution Division of Georgia-Pacific Corporation (the "Division"), for the fiscal year ended January&nbsp;3, 2004 or any future periods. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) that management considers necessary
for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the entire year. We are exposed to fluctuations in quarterly sales volumes and expenses due to seasonal factors which are common in the building products distribution
industry. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Business Combinations  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;12, 2004, we and our operating company entered into two separate definitive agreements to acquire the real estate and operating assets,
respectively, of the division. The transactions were consummated on May&nbsp;7, 2004. We refer to the period prior to May&nbsp;7, 2004 as the "pre-acquisition period." The acquisition
of the assets of the division was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were accounted for at their fair market values at the date of
consummation based on preliminary estimates. We are currently finalizing our evaluation of asset appraisals for acquired property, plant and equipment and are waiting on a final actuarial valuation
for our hourly pension plan. The final allocation of the purchase price may differ from the amounts reflected herein, and those differences could be significant. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
total purchase price for the acquisition of the assets, including fees and expenses, was approximately $814&nbsp;million (subject to a post-closing working capital
adjustment). As of July&nbsp;3, 2004, we had paid purchase consideration of approximately $773&nbsp;million. Based on our calculation, we are obligated to make a final working capital settlement
payment of $41.0&nbsp;million to Georgia-Pacific, plus 4% interest per annum from the closing date of the acquisition. Our asset purchase was funded with net proceeds of $476&nbsp;million from
drawings under our asset-based revolving credit facility, net proceeds of $97&nbsp;million from our term loan, proceeds of $100&nbsp;million from a mortgage loan made to us by ABPMC, an affiliate
of Cerberus, proceeds of $95&nbsp;million from issuance of preferred stock and proceeds of $5&nbsp;million from issuance of common stock. In addition, we paid debt issue costs of
$12&nbsp;million and $3&nbsp;million for our asset-based revolving credit facility and our term loan facility, respectively. We and our parent were formed by Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. in
connection with the acquisition. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Revolving Credit Facility  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On May&nbsp;7, 2004, the Company entered into a $700&nbsp;million revolving credit facility that matures on May&nbsp;7, 2009. Advances under the revolving
credit facility are made as prime rate loans or LIBOR loans at our election. The revolving credit facility loans are secured by (i)&nbsp;a first priority security interest in all our inventory and
receivables and (ii)&nbsp;while our term loan facility is in place, a second priority security interest in all our other personal property. Borrowing availability is based on eligible accounts
receivable and inventory. As of July&nbsp;3, 2004, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $451.8&nbsp;million and availability of $229.2&nbsp;million under the terms of the revolving credit
facility. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest
rates payable upon such advances are based upon the prime rate or LIBOR rate, depending on the type of loan the Company chooses, plus an applicable margin. In general,
borrowings are at LIBOR rate plus 2.25% and/or prime plus 0.75%. However, the applicable interest rates for prime rate and eurodollar loans are subject to adjustments based on the Company's EBITDA
amount as defined in the revolving credit facility. The weighted average interest rates on borrowings for the period from May&nbsp;7, 2004 through July&nbsp;3, 2004 was 4.09%. Under the revolving
credit facility, the Company pays an unused line fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% on the unused portion of the commitment. The Company incurred $12&nbsp;million of debt issue costs related to the

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Term Loan Facility  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On May&nbsp;7, 2004, the Company entered into a $100&nbsp;million term loan facility that matures on November&nbsp;6, 2009. Loans made pursuant to the term
loan facility are secured by (i)&nbsp;a first priority security interest in all our personal property other than our inventory and receivables and (ii)&nbsp;while our revolving credit facility is
in place, a second priority security interest in our inventory and receivables. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Loans
under the term loan facility are made as reference rate loans or LIBOR rate loans at our election. Interest rates payable upon such advances are based upon the reference rate or
LIBOR rate depending on the type of loan we choose, plus an applicable margin. The term loan shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, from the date of the
making of the term loan until such principal amount is repaid, as follows: (i)&nbsp;if the relevant portion of the term loan is a LIBOR rate loan, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of
(y)&nbsp;the LIBOR rate plus 8.00&nbsp;percentage points, and (z)&nbsp;10.00%, and (ii)&nbsp;otherwise, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (y)&nbsp;the reference rate plus
7.00&nbsp;percentage points, and (z)&nbsp;10.00%; provided, however, that the applicable interest rate then in effect on the term loan shall be increased by 0.25&nbsp;percentage points on every
amortization payment date at any time that all or any portion of the quarterly installments (including any amounts previously due and deferred) payable in accordance with the amortization schedule has
been deferred for two or more consecutive amortization payment dates until such time as all quarterly installments then due or previously due and deferred have been paid in full in cash; provided,
further, that there shall be no more than four quarterly increases in the applicable interest rate for a total increase of one&nbsp;percentage point. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an event of default, the principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all term loans, fees, indemnities or any other obligations under the term loan facility, shall bear interest, from the
date such event of default occurred until the date such event of default is cured or waived in writing, at a rate equal at all times to the applicable interest rate plus 2.0&nbsp;percentage points.

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Transactions with Georgia-Pacific during the pre-acquisition period  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the pre-acquisition period, Georgia-Pacific charged the division for the estimated cost of certain functions that were managed by
Georgia-Pacific and could reasonably be directly attributed to the operations of the division. These costs included dedicated human resource, legal, accounting, and information systems support. The
charges to the division were based on management's estimate of such services specifically used by the division. Where determinations based on specific usage alone were impracticable, other methods and
criteria were used that management believes are equitable and provide a reasonable estimate of the cost attributable to the division. The total of these allocations was $5.9&nbsp;million and
$9.5&nbsp;million for the period from January&nbsp;4, 2004 to May&nbsp;7, 2004 and first half of 2003, respectively. Certain general corporate expenses were not allocated to the division. These
expenses included portions of property and casualty insurance premiums, health and welfare administration costs, human resources administration costs, finance administration costs, and legal costs. We
estimate that these incremental costs would have been approximately $4&nbsp;million and $5&nbsp;million for first half of 2004 and the first half of 2003, respectively. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
division purchased a substantial amount of its inventory from Georgia-Pacific; principally lumber, structural panels and industrial wood products (including particleboard, hardboard
and softboard). Such transactions were in the ordinary course of business at negotiated prices determined between the division and Georgia-Pacific and may not have reflected spot market prices. Sales
to Georgia-Pacific were $3.5&nbsp;million and $3.7&nbsp;million for the period from January&nbsp;4, 2004 to May&nbsp;7, 2004 and first half of 2003, respectively. Purchases from
Georgia-Pacific were $519&nbsp;million and $486&nbsp;million for the period from January&nbsp;4, 2004 to May&nbsp;7, 2004 and first half of 2003, respectively. For the period from
January&nbsp;4, 2004 to May&nbsp;7, 2004, Georgia-Pacific Corporation transferred approximately $1.7&nbsp;million of fixed assets to the division in non-cash transfers. For the first
half 2003, Georgia-Pacific Corporation transferred approximately $2.2&nbsp;million of fixed assets to the division in non-cash transfers. Amounts payable to or receivable from
Georgia-Pacific were settled through intercompany accounts at the end of each month. All settlements with Georgia-Pacific were classified as "Net transactions with Georgia-Pacific Corporation" in the

Agreement with Georgia-Pacific. Under the supply agreement, we have substantial minimum purchase volume commitments with respect to most of the products supplied to us. If we fail or refuse to
purchase any products that we are obligated to purchase pursuant to the supply agreement, Georgia-Pacific has the right to sell products to third parties and for certain products terminate our
exclusivity and we may be required to pay monetary penalties. The agreement has a five-year initial term followed by an "evergreen" provision and requires two years' notice, exercisable
after year four, to terminate. The agreement also details distribution rights by product categories. The supply agreement may be terminated by either party for a material breach. However, if the
material breach only affects one or more, but not all, of the product categories, the non-breaching party may only terminate the affected product categories and the remaining product categories will
remain in full force. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Transition Agreements.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the closing of the acquisition, our operating company entered into a transition services agreement

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;31, 2004, the FASB issued an exposure draft, Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statements No.&nbsp;123 and 95. The proposed change in
accounting would replace existing requirements under SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The exposure draft covers a wide
range of equity-based compensation arrangements. Under the FASB's proposal, all forms of share-based payments to employees, including employee stock options, would be treated the same as other forms
of compensation by recognizing the related cost in the income statement. The expense of the award would generally be measured at fair value at the grant date. The comment period for the exposure draft
ended on June&nbsp;30, 2004, and final rules are expected to be issued in late 2004. The standard would be applicable for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2004. We are currently
evaluating the impact of the proposed change in accounting, but will not know the ultimate impact until the final rules are issued. </FONT></P>

(3)&nbsp;regarding implementation issues raised in relation to the application of the definition of a derivative, particularly regarding the meaning of an "underlying" and the characteristics of a
derivative that contain financing components. The statement is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June&nbsp;30, 2003 and is to be applied prospectively. We have
determined that the adoption of the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;149 will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Indemnification Under the Delaware General Corporation Law  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL authorizes a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if the person
acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful. In addition, the DGCL does not permit indemnification in any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action
or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses, which such court shall deem proper. To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense
of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter, such person shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably
incurred by such person. Indemnity is mandatory to the extent a claim, issue or matter has been successfully defended. The DGCL also allows a corporation to provide for the elimination or limit of the
personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director: </FONT></P>

against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue. </FONT></P>
