<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 measure market share based on data published annually by Home Channel News, or HCN.
We define market share as our sales as a percentage of the reported sales of the firms on HCN's list, as adjusted to eliminate firms that do not compete with us and, for certain firms, the portion of
their sales attributable to businesses that do not compete with us. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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
gross 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 gross sales, include roofing, insulation, moulding, engineered wood products, vinyl products (used primarily in siding) and metal
products. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
customers include building materials 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 over 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;Our
net income was $29.3&nbsp;million in fiscal 2001, and increased to $56.2&nbsp;million in fiscal 2003. Net income for the nine months ended October&nbsp;2, 2004 on a pro forma
basis, as adjusted to reflect the acquisition transactions, mortgage refinancing transactions and offering transactions, has further increased to $81.3&nbsp;million. These improvements are the
result of increases in sales and gross profit margins. During the nine months ended October&nbsp;2, 2004, on a pro forma basis, net sales increased by 40%, unit sales by 8.6% and gross profit by
39%, compared to the same period in 2003. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
face risks in the implementation of our business strategy. For example, we operate in a highly competitive industry. In addition, demand and prices for building products are driven
primarily 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 these
products. Furthermore, we have not completed any acquisitions to date and may not be able to consummate acquisitions in the future on terms acceptable to us, or at all. We also may be restricted by
the amount and the terms of our indebtedness from implementing our strategy. We discuss all of the foregoing risks under "Risks Factors" in more detail. </FONT></P>

From 1994 through 1997, Georgia-Pacific invested over $400&nbsp;million of capital to restructure the division and enable it to (i)&nbsp;reduce its network of warehouses from 134 locally
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, the division and we 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 subsequently merged into BlueLinx Holdings Inc., or BlueLinx. As of October&nbsp;2, 2004, ABP, our predecessor entity, paid an aggregate purchase consideration of approximately
$776&nbsp;million. On October&nbsp;29, 2004, we made a final working capital settlement payment of $48.0&nbsp;million to Georgia-Pacific (including $0.8&nbsp;million of interest accrued
thereon). The acquisition was funded with net proceeds of $479.0&nbsp;million from drawings under our revolving credit facility, net proceeds of $97.0&nbsp;million from our term loan, 94% of which
is held by Cerberus and its affiliate, proceeds of $100.0&nbsp;million from a mortgage loan payable to ABPMC LLC, or ABPMC, an affiliate of Cerberus, proceeds of $95.0&nbsp;million from the
issuance of preferred stock, 100% of which is held by an affiliate of Cerberus, and proceeds of $5.0&nbsp;million from the issuance of common stock, 90.5% of which is held by Cerberus. 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. On October&nbsp;27, 2004, we and our subsidiaries
obtained from Column Financial, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, a new mortgage loan in the principal amount of $165&nbsp;million. Proceeds from the new mortgage
loan were used to (i) repay our existing $100&nbsp;million principal amount of mortgage debt, plus $0.4&nbsp;million in accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and (ii) redeem 56,475&nbsp;shares of
our series&nbsp;A preferred stock at an aggregate redemption price of approximately $59.2&nbsp;million (including accrued and unpaid dividends thereon). For a discussion of the terms of our new
mortgage loan, see "Description of Certain Indebtedness&#151;Mortgage." </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 cash flow from operations in understanding cash flows generated from operations that are available for debt service (interest and principal payments) and further investment in
acquisitions. However, EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, and is not intended to present a superior measure of
financial condition from those determined under GAAP. EBITDA as used herein is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of

<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 reduce our net sales and/or margins, which may reduce our net
income.</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 prices for our structural products were at or near a cyclical peak during the 12-month period ended October&nbsp;2, 2004, although for short periods of time
within the 12-month period, prices fluctuated significantly to levels below peak. On average, structural product prices during the 12-month period ended October&nbsp;2, 2004
were approximately 40% above the average prices of the previous five years. We calculated this percentage based on data from RISI weighted to reflect our product mix. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We expect product prices for our structural products to decline from near-peak levels to long-term average levels and end-use demand for all of our products to
decrease modestly from near-peak levels. In October&nbsp;2004, structural product prices declined by 10% to 15% compared to the 12-month average through October&nbsp;2,
2004. To the extent that prices and volumes experience a sustained or sharp decline, our net sales and margins would likely decline as well. Our results in some periods have been affected by market
volatility, including a reduction in gross profits due to a decline in the resale value of our structural products inventory. All of these factors make it difficult to forecast our operating results.

 </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Our cash flows and capital resources may be insufficient to make required payments on our substantial indebtedness and future indebtedness.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have a substantial amount of debt. As of October&nbsp;2, 2004, after giving effect to the consummation of the mortgage refinancing transactions and offering transactions, we would
have had approximately $691&nbsp;million of debt, which includes $479&nbsp;million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, $165&nbsp;million outstanding under the new mortgage loan
obtained by us and our subsidiaries, and $47.2&nbsp;million payable to Georgia-Pacific (excluding $0.8&nbsp;million of interest accrued thereon) in connection with the acquisition in respect of
working capital. As of November&nbsp;6, 2004, the date at which our October fiscal month ended, we had $149&nbsp;million of additional borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility. </FONT></P>

substantial debt could have important consequences to you. For example, it could: </FONT></P>

our cash flows 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 to meet our debt service and other obligations, the value
realized on such assets or operations will depend on market conditions and the availability of buyers. Accordingly, any such sale may not, among other things, be for a sufficient dollar amount. 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, the new mortgage loan obtained by us and our subsidiaries is secured by our real property. The foregoing encumbrances may limit our ability to dispose of material assets or
operations. We also may not be able to restructure our indebtedness on favorable economic terms, if at all. </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 we and our subsidiaries fail to comply with the restrictions in the revolving credit facility, the new
mortgage loan documents 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 the creditors may have to foreclose on assets that are subject to liens securing that debt and to terminate any commitments they had made to supply further
funds. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
described under "&#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," the revolving credit facility also contains various covenants that limit the amount of dividends we may pay.
The terms of the revolving credit facility are discussed under "Description of Certain Indebtedness&#151;Revolving Credit Facility." </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>We have a limited operating history as a separate company. Accordingly, 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. Our business strategy as a independent entity may not 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. As a result, our business, financial condition and
operating results 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
Georgia-Pacific.</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 </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>term
and remains continuously in effect thereafter unless it is terminated. Termination of the supply agreement requires two years' notice, exercisable after year four. 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 obtain a replacement supplier. We may not be able to obtain replacement products on favorable economic terms, if at all. An inability to replace products on
favorable economic terms would adversely impact our net sales and our costs, which in turn could impact our gross profit, net income and cash flows. </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 since they provide us with certain discounts off standard industry pricing indices, certain cash discounts
and favorable payment terms. 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 operating performance could be impaired by an interruption in the delivery of products and/or an
increase in cost to us from sourcing comparable products from other suppliers. </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. Our purchase obligations under this agreement are
approximately $301&nbsp;million for the remaining three months of fiscal 2004 and $1.255&nbsp;billion for each of the next four years. We discuss our contractual commitments under "Management's
Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#151;Contractual Commitments." 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 reduce our net sales due to the unavailability of products or our gross profit if we are required to pay higher product prices to other suppliers. A reduction in
our net sales or gross profit may also reduce our net income and cash flows. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Our industry is highly fragmented and competitive. If we are unable to compete effectively, our net sales and net income will be reduced.</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.
Finally, we may not be able to maintain our costs at a level sufficiently low for us to compete effectively. If we are unable to compete effectively, our net sales and net income will be reduced. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Integrating acquisitions may be time-consuming and create costs that could reduce our net income and cash flows.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Part of our growth strategy includes pursuing acquisitions. Any integration process may be complex and time consuming, may be disruptive to the business and may
cause an interruption of, or a distraction of management's attention from, the business as a result of a number of obstacles, including but not limited to: </FONT></P>

of November&nbsp;6, 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
November&nbsp;6, 2004, we had approximately 47 collective bargaining agreements, of which one, covering 47&nbsp;employees, is up for renewal before December&nbsp;31, 2004 and five, covering
67&nbsp;employees are up for renewal in 2005. We may become subject to material cost increases, or additional work rules imposed by agreements with labor unions. The foregoing could increase our
selling, general and administrative expenses in absolute terms and/or as a percentage of net sales. In addition, work stoppages or other labor disturbances may occur in the future, which could
adversely impact our net sales and/or selling, general and administrative expenses. All of these factors could negatively impact our net income and cash flows. </FONT></P>

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 would increase our costs, which, if we are unable to

based upon current information, that we are in substantial compliance with all applicable environmental laws, rules and regulations, 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 resources. 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, any remediation costs not related to conditions existing prior to May&nbsp;7, 2004 may not be covered by indemnification. In addition, certain remediation costs may
not be covered by 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 impact 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>&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. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>We may incur substantial costs relating to Georgia-Pacific's product liability related claims.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Georgia-Pacific is a defendant 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. These suits allege a variety of lung and other diseases based on alleged exposure to products previously manufactured by Georgia-Pacific. Based on
Georgia-Pacific's public disclosure in its Quarterly Report on Form&nbsp;10-Q for the quarter ended October&nbsp;2, 2004, there were 59,800 unresolved asbestos claims against Georgia-Pacific at
the end of the first nine months of 2004. Although the terms of the asset purchase agreement provide that Georgia-Pacific will indemnify us against all obligations and liabilities arising out of,
relating to or otherwise in any way in respect of any product liability claims (including, without limitation, claims, obligations or liabilities relating to the presence or alleged presence of
asbestos-containing materials) with respect to products purchased, sold, marketed, stored, delivered, distributed or transported by Georgia-Pacific and its affiliates, including the division prior to
the acquisition, we believe that circumstances may arise under which asbestos-related claims against Georgia-Pacific could cause us to incur substantial costs. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
example, in the event that Georgia-Pacific is financially unable to respond to an asbestos product liability claim, plaintiffs' lawyers may, in order to obtain recovery, attempt to
sue us, in our capacity as owner of assets sold by Georgia-Pacific, despite the fact that the assets sold to us did not contain asbestos. Asbestos litigation has, over the years, proved unpredictable,
as the aggressive and well-financed asbestos plaintiffs' bar has been creative, and often successful, in bringing claims based on novel legal theories and on expansive interpretations of
existing legal theories. These claims have included claims against companies that did not manufacture asbestos </FONT></P>

As a result of these factors, a number of companies have been held liable for amounts far in excess of their perceived exposure. Although we believe, based on our understanding of the law as
currently interpreted, that we should not be held liable for any of Georgia-Pacific's asbestos-related claims, and, to the contrary, that we would prevail on summary judgment on any such claims, there
is nevertheless a possibility that new theories could be developed, or that the application of existing theories could be expanded, in a manner that would result in liability for us. Any such
liability would ultimately be borne by us if Georgia-Pacific is unable to fulfill its indemnity obligation under the asset purchase agreement. </FONT></P>

to this offering, there has not been a public market for our common stock. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our company will lead to the development of an
active trading market on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise or how liquid that market might become. If an active trading market does not develop, you may have difficulty selling any of our
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>

stockholder will also have sufficient voting power to amend our organizational documents. The interests of our controlling stockholder may not 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

Cerberus and its affiliates will receive approximately 97.2% of the net proceeds from this offering, or approximately $135.0&nbsp;million as of December&nbsp;15, 2004, in respect of (i) the

which excludes accrued and unpaid interest thereon through December&nbsp;15, 2004. Our controlling stockholder also received all of the net proceeds from the new mortgage loan, consisting of (i)
approximately $59.2&nbsp;million in respect of the redemption of 56,475 shares of our series&nbsp;A preferred stock and the payment of all accrued dividends thereon and (ii) $100&nbsp;million

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
our existing stockholders or option holders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market following this offering, the market price of our common stock could
decrease significantly. The perception in the public market that our existing stockholders might sell shares of common stock could also depress our market price. Upon completion of this offering, we
will have 29,500,000 shares of common stock outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares, of which 20.0&nbsp;million shares will be held by our current
stockholders. Prior to this offering, we and our current stockholders will have agreed with the underwriters to a "lock-up" period, meaning that such parties may not, subject to certain
other exceptions, sell any of their existing shares of our common stock without the prior written consent of Goldman, Sachs&nbsp;&amp; Co. until approximately 180 days after the date of this prospectus.
Goldman, Sachs&nbsp;&amp; Co., on behalf of the underwriters, may, in its sole discretion, at any time or from time to time and without notice, waive the terms and conditions of the lock-up agreement.
20.0&nbsp;million shares of our common stock (excluding shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options) are subject to lock-up agreements. This amount includes 1.9&nbsp;million shares of
our common stock
held by our executive officers that are subject to a two-year lock-up agreement, the terms of which are described under "Management&#151;Management Lock-up Agreements." In addition, all of our
current stockholders will be subject to the Rule&nbsp;144 holding period requirement described in "Shares Eligible for Future Sale." When the lock-up agreements expire, these shares and
the shares underlying the options will become eligible for sale, in some cases subject to the requirements of Rule&nbsp;144. In addition, our controlling stockholder has substantial demand and
incidental registration rights, as described in "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions&#151;Registration Rights Agreement." The market price for shares of our common stock may drop
significantly when the restrictions on resale by our existing stockholders lapse. A decline in the price of shares of our common stock might impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of
additional shares of our common stock or other equity securities. </FONT></P>

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

intend to pay dividends on our common stock at the quarterly rate of $0.125 per share. 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 may not be able to pay dividends in any given amount in the future, or at all. </FONT></P>

tangible book value per share of the shares you acquire, based on the net tangible book value per share as of October&nbsp;2, 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 options to purchase 1,259,000 shares of our common stock, each at an exercise price of

after deducting the estimated underwriting discount and our estimated expenses of the offering. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering and, to the extent necessary, proceeds from our

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Assuming
an offering of 9,500,000&nbsp;shares of our common stock at $16.00&nbsp;per share, the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, Cerberus
and its affiliates will receive approximately 97.2% of the net proceeds of this offering, or approximately $135.0&nbsp;million, in respect of (i)&nbsp;the redemption of the remaining
series&nbsp;A preferred stock, which excludes accrued and unpaid dividends thereon as of December&nbsp;15, 2004, and (ii)&nbsp;the repayment of our term loan, which takes into account accrued
and unpaid interest thereon through December&nbsp;15, 2004. Cerberus and its affiliates also received approximately $159.6&nbsp;million from the proceeds of the mortgage refinancing, as described
below. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
$100&nbsp;million term loan was entered into by our operating company on May&nbsp;7, 2004 with Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as sole lead arranger, sole bookrunner, sole
syndication agent, administrative agent and collateral agent, and various financial institutions from time to time as lenders. Cerberus acquired $69&nbsp;million in aggregate principal amount of the
term loan and its affiliate, Aozora, acquired $25&nbsp;million in aggregate principal amount of the term loan. As of October&nbsp;2, 2004, the interest rate under the term loan was 10%. The term
loan matures on November&nbsp;6, 2009. Dividends accrue on our series&nbsp;A preferred stock at the rate of 10% per annum, compounded quarterly and accrued daily. All of our remaining series A
preferred stock currently outstanding will be redeemed with the proceeds we expect to receive from this offering. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
October&nbsp;27, 2004, we and our subsidiaries obtained from Column Financial, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse First Boston&nbsp;LLC, a new mortgage loan in the
principal amount of $165&nbsp;million. The new mortgage loan is secured by our 61&nbsp;wholly-owned warehouses. The interest rate on our new mortgage loan is a floating rate, equal to LIBOR plus
225 basis points determined monthly. The terms of our new mortgage loan are described in "Description of Certain Indebtedness&#151;Mortgage." </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Proceeds
from the new mortgage loan were used to (i)&nbsp;repay our existing $100&nbsp;million in principal amount of mortgage debt, plus $0.4&nbsp;million in accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, and (ii)&nbsp;redeem 56,475 shares of our series&nbsp;A preferred stock at an aggregate redemption price of approximately $59.2&nbsp;million (including all accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon). </FONT></P>

further discussed under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#151;Liquidity and Capital Resources&#151;Financing
Activities," the proceeds from our operating company's term loan, our series&nbsp;A preferred stock and our old mortgage were used to finance the acquisition transactions. </FONT></P>

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

October&nbsp;2, 2004 would have been $143&nbsp;million, or $4.86 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate decrease in net tangible book value of $0.85 per share to existing
stockholders and an immediate dilution of $11.14 per share to new investors purchasing our common stock in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution to new investors: </FONT></P>

the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our common stock in full in this offering, the as adjusted net tangible book value per share
after this offering would be $5.32 per share, the decrease in net tangible book value per share to existing stockholders would be $0.39 per share and the dilution to new investors purchasing shares in
this offering would be $10.68 per share. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You
will experience additional dilution upon the exercise of options granted to employees or directors to purchase common stock under our equity incentive plan. Through October&nbsp;2,
2004, we granted options to purchase 1,259,000 shares of our common stock at an average exercise price of $3.75 per share. None of these options will vest upon the consummation of this offering. </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 cash flow from operations in understanding cash flows generated from operations that are available for debt service (interest and principal payments) and further investment in
acquisitions. However, EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, and is not intended to present a superior measure of
financial condition from those determined under GAAP. EBITDA, as used herein, is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of
calculation.

indicated and are not intended to project our results of operations or financial position for any future period or at any future date. </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

significant. </FONT></P>

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 $484&nbsp;million, $378&nbsp;million and $388&nbsp;million for the first nine months of fiscal 2004, full year fiscal 2003 and the first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively. The
revolving credit facility was assumed to bear interest at 4.185%, the interest rate prevailing at October&nbsp;2, 2004. The term loan was assumed to have a balance of $100&nbsp;million and to bear
interest at 10%. The old mortgage 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 $548,000, $598,000 and $458,000 for the the first nine months of fiscal 2004, full year fiscal 2003 and the first
nine months 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><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 measure market share based on data published annually by Home Channel News, or HCN.
We define market share as our sales as a percentage of the reported sales of the firms on HCN's list, as adjusted to eliminate firms that do not compete with us and, for certain firms, the portion of
their sales attributable to businesses that do not compete with us. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 gross 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 gross sales. </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. As of October&nbsp;2, 2004, we paid purchase consideration of approximately $776&nbsp;million. On
October&nbsp;29, 2004, we made a final working capital settlement payment of $48.0&nbsp;million to Georgia-Pacific (including $0.8&nbsp;million of interest accrued thereon). The working capital
payment was funded by borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The acquisition was funded with: </FONT></P>

subsidiary were formed by Cerberus in connection with the acquisition. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
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 mortgage refinancing transactions; </FONT></P>

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

<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;Our Business Strategy&#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 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 resources, 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 were $19.0&nbsp;million, $5.9&nbsp;million and
$15.1&nbsp;million for fiscal 2003, the period from January&nbsp;4, 2004 to May&nbsp;7, 2004 and the first nine months 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 $13.3&nbsp;million, $5.3&nbsp;million and $9.8&nbsp;million for fiscal 2003, the
period from January&nbsp;4, 2004 to </FONT></P>

measure our growth in unit volume (on a constant dollar basis) compared to the growth of the foregoing end-use indicators. Starting in 2003, as the growth strategies developed by the
division in 2002 have begun to take effect, we have grown faster than the market, and at an increasing rate during the first nine months of 2004. Our unit volume grew faster than the weighted end-use
markets by 1.4 percentage points in 2003 and by 3.2 percentage points during the first nine months of 2004. As a result, we have expanded our market share. Our market share in 2002 was 10.4%. In 2003,
our market share increased to 10.9%, representing market share growth of 0.5 percentage points. We expect to continue to grow our unit volume at a faster rate than the marketplace for the foreseeable
future. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
operating results are also impacted by changes in product prices. Structural products prices can vary significantly based on short-term and long-term changes in supply and demand.
For example, at points during the past year, plywood and OSB prices were approximately 90% and over 200%, respectively, above 2002 lows. 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, in late 2003 and into the first nine months 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;We
believe that prices for our structural products were at or near a cyclical peak during the 12-month period ended October&nbsp;2, 2004, although for short periods of time
within the 12-month period, prices fluctuated significantly to levels below peak. On average, structural product prices during the 12-month period ended October&nbsp;2, 2004
were approximately 40% above the average prices of the previous five years. We calculated this percentage based on data from RISI weighted to reflect our product mix. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We expect product prices for our structural products to decline from near peak levels to long-term average levels and end-use demand for all of our products to
decrease modestly from near-peak levels. In October&nbsp;2004, structural product prices declined by 10% to 15% compared to the 12-month average through October&nbsp;2,
2004. To the extent that prices and volumes experience a sustained or sharp decline, our net sales and margins would likely decline as well. Our results in some periods have been affected by market
volatility, including a reduction in gross profits due to a decline in the resale value of our structural products inventory. All of these factors make it difficult to forecast our operating results.

</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
prices and growth in end-use demand return to more normal levels, our net revenue, gross profit and net income would likely decrease from levels that prevailed during the first nine
months of 2004. </FONT></P>

<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 the first nine months of fiscal 2004 increased by 40% to $4,351&nbsp;million from
$3,104&nbsp;million during the first nine months of fiscal 2003. This increase of $1,247&nbsp;million was caused by price changes amounting to $980&nbsp;million and unit volume increases
amounting to $267&nbsp;million. Unit sales increased by 8.6% during the first nine months of fiscal 2004, compared to the same period in fiscal 2003. The increase in unit volume reflects the
continued success of our strategy of increasing volume through focused value-added selling, which we began to implement in late 2002, and strong underlying demand in our end-use markets. 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>

$459&nbsp;million from $339&nbsp;million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003. Of this increase, $29&nbsp;million was the result of higher unit volume and $107&nbsp;million was the result
of higher prices during the first nine months of fiscal 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. These increases in gross profit were partially offset by a $16&nbsp;million decline associated with
a 0.3 percentage point reduction in the gross profit margin from 10.9% during the first nine months of fiscal 2003, as compared to 10.6% for the same period in 2004. This gross profit decline includes
a $6.8&nbsp;million charge for lower of cost or market adjustments for the first nine months of fiscal 2004. We established a $6.8&nbsp;million lower of cost or market reserve at October&nbsp;2,
2004 because prices for

<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 nine months of fiscal 2004 were
$295&nbsp;million, or 6.8% of net sales, compared to $249&nbsp;million, or 8.0% of net sales, during the first nine months of fiscal 2003. Higher expenses in the first nine months of fiscal 2004
as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2003 were primarily due to increases in employee bonuses and sales commissions (a $16.3&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 $10.7&nbsp;million increase) and cost
inflation primarily related to employee benefits and payroll (an approximately $7.5&nbsp;million increase). Additionally, the first nine months of fiscal 2004 included approximately
$8.0&nbsp;million in expenses associated with the acquisition and the related transition. We anticipate recording additional transition expenses of approximately $3&nbsp;million during the
remainder of fiscal 2004 and the first half of fiscal 2005. </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 and amortization expense totaled $12&nbsp;million for the first nine months of
fiscal 2004 (excluding amortization of debt issue costs), while depreciation expense totaled $15&nbsp;million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003. Property, plant and equipment was purchased by
us for less than Georgia-Pacific's book value; as a result, book value and associated depreciation following the acquisition is lower than it was during the pre-acquisition period. We did
not have any amortization expense during the pre-acquisition period. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Operating Income.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2004 increased by $76&nbsp;million to
$151&nbsp;million, or 3.5% of net sales, from $75&nbsp;million, or 2.4% of net sales, for the first nine months of fiscal 2003. This improvement was the result of higher unit volume, higher
product prices and higher gross profit. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest Expense.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest expense totaled $17.3&nbsp;million for the first nine months of fiscal 2004 and was entirely
incurred in the period from May&nbsp;8, 2004 to October&nbsp;2, 2004. Interest expense related to our term loan, revolving credit facility and old mortgage was $4.3&nbsp;million,
$8.1&nbsp;million and $4.1&nbsp;million, respectively. Additionally, interest on the final working capital settlement with Georgia-Pacific was
$0.8&nbsp;million. Interest expense includes $1.2&nbsp;million of debt issue cost amortization. The division did not incur interest expense prior to the acquisition. </FONT></P>

<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 2003 increased 14% to $4,272&nbsp;million from $3,734&nbsp;million in
fiscal 2002. This increase of $538&nbsp;million was caused by price increases amounting to $411&nbsp;million and unit volume increases amounting to $127&nbsp;million. Unit sales increased by
3.4% 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 2003 volume. Additionally, net sales were favorably impacted by significantly higher prices for plywood, OSB and lumber in the second half of fiscal 2003. </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 2003 increased by 26%, or $94&nbsp;million, to $457&nbsp;million from
$363&nbsp;million in fiscal 2002, reflecting higher net sales. Of this increase, $12&nbsp;million was the result of higher unit volume, $42&nbsp;million was the result of an increase in the
gross profit margin to 10.7% in 2003, compared to 9.7% in 2002, and $40&nbsp;million was the result of higher prices in 2003 compared to 2002. The increase in gross profit margin was the result of
our continued focus on improving margins and strong demand. </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 2003 were $347&nbsp;million, or 8.1% of net
sales, while selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2002 were $295&nbsp;million, or 7.9% of net sales. Higher expenses in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002 were primarily due
to an increase in employee bonuses and sales commissions due to strong performance (a $17&nbsp;million increase), increased variable expenses including delivery, labor and sales and marketing
expenses associated with higher unit volume (an approximately $3.5&nbsp;million increase), cost inflation primarily impacting employee benefits and payroll costs (an approximately $9&nbsp;million
increase), increased Georgia-Pacific corporate overhead charges (an approximately $4&nbsp;million increase), increased pension charges associated with declining pension fund returns and associated
interest rate assumptions (an approximately $4&nbsp;million increase) and a $5&nbsp;million expense associated with the several extra days in Georgia-Pacific's 2003 fiscal year. </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 $19.5&nbsp;million and $21.8&nbsp;million for fiscal 2003 and
fiscal 2002, respectively. From fiscal 1994 to 1997, capital investment totaled over $400&nbsp;million. The declining depreciation trend reflects the completion of the book depreciation of portions
of this investment. We did not have any amortization expense during the pre-acquisition period. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Operating Income.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Operating income in fiscal 2003 increased by $45.6&nbsp;million to $91.4&nbsp;million, or 2.1% of net
sales, from $45.8&nbsp;million, or 1.2% of net sales, in fiscal 2002. This improvement was the result of higher unit volume, higher product prices and higher gross margins. </FONT></P>

<P>


<FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Provision for Income Taxes.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The effective tax rate was 38.3% and 38.7% in fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002, respectively.

<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 $80&nbsp;million, which were somewhat offset by unit volume increases of $45&nbsp;million. Unit sales increased by 1.2%
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 by 3%, or $11&nbsp;million, 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. Slightly 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 $14.2&nbsp;million decrease), partially
offset by cost inflation primarily impacting employee benefits and payroll costs (an approximately $9&nbsp;million increase). </FONT></P>

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 the book
depreciation of portions of this investment. We did not have any amortization expense during the reported period. </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>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Working capital decreased by $17&nbsp;million to $426&nbsp;million at October&nbsp;2, 2004, from $443&nbsp;million at January&nbsp;3, 2004. The decrease
in working capital reflects an increase in current maturities of long-term debt of $180&nbsp;million and a $47&nbsp;million increase due to the working capital settlement payable to
Georgia-Pacific. Offsetting these amounts was a seasonal change in the business from December to September. Accounts receivable increased by $229&nbsp;million and finished goods inventories
increased by $165&nbsp;million; these increases were partially offset by a $221&nbsp;million increase in accounts payable. Of the $221&nbsp;million increase in accounts payable, approximately
$88&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 $22.6&nbsp;million to $23&nbsp;million at October&nbsp;2, 2004. During the pre-acquisition period, Georgia-Pacific consolidated all
cash balances and the division only maintained petty cash and other minor balances. The $23&nbsp;million of cash on our balance sheet at October&nbsp;2, 2004 primarily reflects customer
remittances received in our lock boxes on Friday and Saturday that are not available until the next Monday, which is part of the following fiscal period.

<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 of $53.7&nbsp;million driven by net sales growth and partially offset by higher accounts payable and bank overdrafts of $25.2&nbsp;million and higher accrued compensation of
$12.2&nbsp;million. </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 of $10.7&nbsp;million and a small

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the first nine months of fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003, cash flows used for operating activities totaled $61.3&nbsp;million and $49.0&nbsp;million,
respectively. The increase of $12.3&nbsp;million in cash flows used for operating activities was primarily driven by fluctuations in accounts receivable of $69&nbsp;million, offset in part by
$40&nbsp;million in improved earnings. Fluctuations in inventory of $140&nbsp;million were offset by a $150&nbsp;million increase in trade payables, which includes $88&nbsp;million in payables
to Georgia-Pacific, compared to zero during the pre-acquisition period, when amounts due Georgia-Pacific
were classified as parent's investment. The remaining sources were from changes in other working capital. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
business is highly seasonal, with inventory and receivables increasing significantly during the middle of the year and then declining to annual lows at approximately year-end. For
example, cash flow from operations for the nine months ended September&nbsp;27, 2003 was $(49)&nbsp;million, but was $59&nbsp;million positive by year-end; this swing was primarily the result of
decreases in inventory and receivables during the fourth quarter. A similar seasonal influx of operating cash is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2004. </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 $59.6&nbsp;million and $46.7&nbsp;million, respectively. The increase of $12.9&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 of $14.1&nbsp;million, accounts payable of $31.5&nbsp;million
and accrued compensation of $16.7&nbsp;million. Partially offsetting these operating cash flow increases were fluctuations in accounts receivable of $86.6&nbsp;million. 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 of
$32.1&nbsp;million, partially offset by fluctuations in accounts receivable of $28.5&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

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 $776&nbsp;million. The purchase price was subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment, which required the payment of an additional $48.0&nbsp;million to
Georgia-Pacific (including $0.8&nbsp;million of interest accrued thereon). We funded this post-closing working capital adjustment with our revolving credit facility on October&nbsp;29, 2004. </FONT></P>

capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $10&nbsp;million for the entire year, including capital expenditures for the first nine months of fiscal 2004. 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;On May&nbsp;7, 2004, our operating company entered into a revolving credit facility. As of November&nbsp;6, 2004, advances outstanding under the revolving
credit facility were approximately $518&nbsp;million. Borrowing availability was approximately $149&nbsp;million and outstanding letters of credit on this facility were approximately
$5.7&nbsp;million. As of October&nbsp;2, 2004, the interest rate on outstanding balances under the revolving credit facility was 4.185%. </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 October&nbsp;2, 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 variable, based on LIBOR plus a
spread, and is currently equal to 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. On October&nbsp;27, 2004, the existing mortgage
was refinanced by a new mortgage loan in the amount of $165&nbsp;million, which was provided by Column Financial, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC. The interest rate
on the new mortgage loan is equal to LIBOR (subject to a 2% floor and a 6% cap), plus a 2.25% spread. On October&nbsp;27, 2004, the date the new mortgage loan was consummated, the interest rate was

2004, the date the new mortgage loan was consummated. The interest rate for all Georgia-Pacific working capital was fixed at 4.0%. Annual interest, at the rates noted above, totals $28,717, consisting
of $21,704 for the revolving credit facility and the Georgia-Pacific working capital settlement, and $7,013 for the new mortgage loan.

of 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>

revolving credit facility accrues interest based on a floating benchmark rate (the prime rate or LIBOR 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 $6.2&nbsp;million
based on borrowings outstanding at October&nbsp;2, 2004; excluding the term loan, interest expense would have been impacted by approximately $5.2&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

new mortgage loan bears interest at a floating rate, equal to LIBOR plus 225 basis points, determined monthly, subject to a floor interest rate of 4.25% (a 2% floor on LIBOR, plus
2.25%). Interest is capped pursuant to a rate cap agreement that caps LIBOR exposure at 6.0% and the overall rate at 8.25% (a 6.0% cap on LIBOR, plus 2.25%). Increases or decreases in 30-day LIBOR
rates by 100 basis points between 2.0% and 6.0% will impact results of operations by $1.65&nbsp;million. </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. The following are accounting policies that management believes are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's
most difficult, subjective or complex judgment: </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. Adjustments to
earnings resulting from revisions to estimates on discounts and returns have been insignificant for each of the years in the three-year period ended January&nbsp;3, 2004 or the interim period ended
October&nbsp;2, 2004. </FONT></P>

<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 loss 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 </FONT></P>

balance. Additionally, we maintain reserves for cash discounts that we expect customers to earn as well as expected returns. At October&nbsp;2, 2004, January&nbsp;3, 2004,
December&nbsp;28, 2002 and December&nbsp;29, 2001, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $13.1&nbsp;million, $9.2&nbsp;million, $9.5&nbsp;million and $9.9&nbsp;million, respectively.
Adjustments to earnings resulting from revisions to estimates on discounts and uncollectible accounts have been insignificant for each of the three years in the three-year period ended
January&nbsp;3, 2004. The increased level of reserves at October&nbsp;2, 2004 reflects an increase in reserves for cash discounts associated with the seasonally elevated accounts receivable level. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<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 by category, is carried at the lower of cost or market. We established a
$6.8&nbsp;million lower of cost or market reserve at October&nbsp;2, 2004 because prices for structural products declined late in the third quarter of fiscal 2004, causing the book value of some
of our structural products to be above their market value. We expect to reduce the lower of cost or market reserve to $0 by fiscal year end as prices for structural products stabilize. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally,
we maintain a reserve for the estimated value impairment associated with damaged and inactive inventory. At October&nbsp;2, 2004, January&nbsp;3, 2004,
December&nbsp;28, 2002 and December&nbsp;29, 2001, our inventory reserves totaled $2.8&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 that are common industry practice. 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). Adjustments to earnings resulting from revisions to rebate estimates have been insignificant for each of the
years in the three-year period ended January&nbsp;3, 2004 or the interim period ended October&nbsp;2, 2004. </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. Determining whether an impairment has occurred typically requires various estimates and assumptions, including determining which cash flows are directly
related to the potentially impaired asset, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, their amount and the asset's residual value, if any. In turn, measurement of an impairment loss requires a
determination of fair value, which is based on the best information available. We use internal cash flow estimates, quoted market prices when available and independent appraisals as appropriate to
determine fair value. We derive the required cash flow estimates from our historical experience and our internal business plans and apply an appropriate discount rate. 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. There have been no adjustments to earnings resulting from the impairment of long-lived assets for each of the years in the three-year period ended
January&nbsp;3, 2004 or the interim period ended October&nbsp;2, 2004. </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 any interim or annual period beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2005. As of October&nbsp;2, 2004, the aggregate intrinsic value of all outstanding options was
$15,422,750 based on an assumed initial public offering price of $16.00&nbsp;per share, the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and an aggregate of 1,259,000
outstanding options. 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>

<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 measure market share based on data published annually by Home Channel News, or HCN.
We define market share as our sales as a percentage of the reported sales of the firms on HCN's list, as adjusted to eliminate firms that do not compete with us and, for certain firms, the portion of
their sales attributable to businesses that do not compete with us. 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 gross 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 gross sales. Specialty products as a category historically have had more short-term price stability and higher margins than structural products. </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 materials 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 over 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;Our
net income was $29.3&nbsp;million in fiscal 2001, and increased to $56.2&nbsp;million in fiscal 2003. Net income for the nine months ended October&nbsp;2, 2004, on a pro forma
basis, as adjusted to reflect the acquisition transactions, mortgage refinancing transactions and offering transactions, has further increased to $81.3&nbsp;million. These improvements are the
result of increases in sales and gross profit margins. During the nine months ended October&nbsp;2, 2004, net sales increased by 40%, unit sales by 8.6% and gross profit by 39%, on a pro forma
basis, compared to the same period in 2003. </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. We discuss the criteria for determining our market share under "&#151;Our
Company." 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>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following chart illustrates the two-step distribution model: </FONT></P>

  </B></FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Two-step
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;To
enable us to provide the value of break bulk, just in time service and "one stop" assortment of goods to our customers, we, like most distributors, maintain significant on-hand
inventories. We maintain, on average, more than 1,000 different products at each location and typically maintain, on average, at least a 30-day supply of each product to ensure that we have product
availability to meet customer demand. </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. Manufacturers supply the product and
guarantee its performance for its intended use, and are thus, consistent with industry practice, responsible for warranty costs, while distributors, such as us, provide sales and distribution. </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,
every market has small, local competitors typically focused on narrower niches. These local distributors tend to be closely held and often specialize in a limited number of product categories. We
measure market share based on data published annually by HCN. We define market share as our sales as a percentage of the reported sales of the firms on HCN's list, as adjusted to eliminate firms that
do not compete with us and, for certain firms, the portion of their sales attributable to businesses that do not compete with us. </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 benefit
from these 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 because 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 be useful to us 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;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 and non-residential construction markets. Based on RISI data weighted to reflect the sectors in which our business
operates, 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. We believe that our centralized business model allows us to provide the sales and marketing infrastructure and distribution capabilities that foreign manufacturers need. </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. We discuss the criteria for determining our market share
under "&#151;Our Company." 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 enable us to better serve multi-regional accounts. For example, gross 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>

believe that our centralized business model is not easily replicable. </FONT></P>

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.

<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 materials 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 gross sales, and no single customer accounted for more than 4% of our fiscal 2003 gross 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

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

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

<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 through our existing distribution channels. 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 using 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. In addition, we work with customers on an individual basis to identify and implement opportunities to
reduce their costs and improve their business results. We plan to continue this process both with existing customers and products, and with new customers and new products. Our unit volume grew 8.6% </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. We intend to fund future acquisitions through one or more of our internal cash resources, borrowings
under our revolving credit facility, future financings and the issuance of equity securities to sellers of businesses we acquire or to the public. </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 in order to add new products to our portfolio, including OSB, fir plywood, imported pine plywood, sub-flooring and specialty products such as siding and various
grades of hardwood plywood. 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 traditional 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>Absorb the costs of growth into our existing infrastructure  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our existing infrastructure can accommodate substantial additional growth. Accordingly, we believe that 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. For example, we operate most of our facilities at approximately one and one-half shifts a day; significant additional volume can be
handled by expanding the number of shifts worked with little increase in infrastructure costs. As we expand our penetration of customers, the additional selling and administrative resources required
to handle the orders is limited. Additionally, our information systems and other support services (accounting and other administrative areas) have the capacity to support significant additional volume
with limited incremental expenses. 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 continue to seek further improvements in our operating margins by implementing several productivity and efficiency initiatives, including: </FONT></P>

Additional end-uses of our structural products include outdoor decks, sheathing, crates and boxes. Approximately 55% of our fiscal 2003 gross 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 gross sales during fiscal

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our sales efforts primarily are directed through our sales force of over 950 sales representatives. Approximately 600 of our sales representatives are located at
our two sales centers in 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

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, or the supply agreement. The supply agreement details distribution rights by product categories, including
exclusivity rights and minimum supply volume commitments from Georgia-Pacific with respect to certain products. This agreement also details our purchase obligations by product categories, including
substantial minimum purchase volume commitments with respect to most of the products supplied to us. Our purchase obligations under this agreement are approximately $301&nbsp;million for the
remainder of 2004 and $1.255&nbsp;billion for each of the next four years. 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 and remains continuously in effect therafter unless it is terminated. Termination of the supply agreement requires two years' notice, exercisable after year four.
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 supply agreement in respect of the affected product categories, and the supply agreement will remain in full force with respect to the remaining product categories. The supply
agreement also provides for certain advertising, marketing and promotion arrangements between us and Georgia-Pacific for certain products. In addition, we were granted a limited, non-exclusive,
royalty-free, fully paid license to use certain proprietary information and intellectual property of Georgia-Pacific. </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 that offer products manufactured by them as well as third-party manufactured products. We estimate that the market shares of Weyerhaeuser and Boise Cascade in 2003 were
10.8% (a portion of which is from Canadian operations) and 5.2%, respectively. Most major markets are served by at least one of these distributors. </FONT></P>


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

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of November&nbsp;6, 2004, we employed approximately 3,400 persons on a full-time basis. Approximately 1,200 of these employees are represented by
labor unions and 45 out of our 63 facilities are union sites. As of November&nbsp;6, 2004, we had approximately 47 collective bargaining agreements, of which one is up for renewal before
December&nbsp;31, 2004 and five of which are up for </FONT></P>

47 and 67, respectively. We consider our relationship with our employees generally to be good. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Properties and Facilities  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We operate warehouse facilities in 63 markets. We own warehouse facilities in 61 of these cities and lease the remainder. These warehouse facilities secure our
new mortgage loan. In addition, our headquarters is located in Atlanta, Georgia, where we lease from a third party approximately 250,000 square feet of space. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following table lists each of our warehouse facilities, including their inside square footage. At all of our warehouse locations, we also store materials outdoors, such as lumber,
which increases our distribution and storage capacity. We believe that substantially all of our property and equipment is in good condition, subject to normal wear and tear, and that our facilities
have sufficient capacity to
meet our current and projected distribution needs. We believe that we have substantial additional capacity at our warehouses. We estimate that we can increase the number of shipments through our
facilities by up to 50% with modest capital improvements. We operate most of our facilities at approximately one and one-half shifts a day; significant additional volume can be handled by expanding
our number of shifts. Additionally, most of our warehouses have high ceilings, but only a portion of our space is fully utilized with high ceiling racks; our storage capacity can be increased
significantly with the addition of more racking. In addition, at some of our facilities we would have extra floor space if products are stored more closely together. </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 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

<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. Depending on the jurisdiction,
trademarks are valid as long as they are in use and/or their registrations are properly maintained and they have not become generic. Registrations of trademarks can generally be renewed indefinitely
as long as the trademarks are in use. Our patent expires in September 2013. We do not believe our business is dependent on any one of our trademarks or on our patent. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
November&nbsp;19, 2004, we received a letter from Wickes Lumber, or Wickes, asserting that approximately $16&nbsp;million in payments received by the division during the 90-day
period prior to Wickes' January&nbsp;20, 2004 Chapter 11 filing were preferential payments under section&nbsp;547 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Although the ultimate outcome of this matter
cannot be determined with certainty, we believe Wickes' assertion to be without merit and, in any event, subject to one or more complete defenses, including, but not limited to, that the payments were
made and received in the ordinary course of business and were in substantially contemporaneous exchange for new value given to Wickes. Accordingly, we have no plans to establish a reserve with respect
to the asserted claim. </FONT></P>

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

pursuant to our equity incentive plan at an exercise price of $3.75 per share. We granted each of our three independent directors, Messrs.&nbsp;Asen, Macadam and Schumacher, options to purchase
10,000 shares of our common stock. Each of these options will vest at the end of the directors' initial term, which will coincide with our 2005 annual meeting of stockholders. These options are not
subject to accelerated vesting upon the consummation of this offering. </FONT></P>

also granted options to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock to Jeffrey&nbsp;J. Fenton in consideration for his service as chairman of our board of directors.
Mr.&nbsp;Fenton's options vest under the same terms as those options granted to our independent directors. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Registration Rights Agreement  </B></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
also, when we are eligible to do so, require us to maintain a shelf registration continuously effective. </FONT></P>

<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 our 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>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
believe that the terms of the registration rights agreement were at least as fair to us as the terms we would have expected to negotiate with third parties under similar
circumstances. </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 Credit Partners L.P., as sole lead arranger, sole
bookrunner, sole syndication agent, administrative agent and collateral agent, and various financial institutions from time to time as lenders. Cerberus acquired $69&nbsp;million in aggregate
principal amount of the term loan and Aozora, an affiliate of Cerberus, acquired $25&nbsp;million in aggregate principal amount 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>Old Mortgage  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to the terms of our old mortgage, entered into on May&nbsp;7, 2004, ABPMC, an affiliate of Cerberus, loaned us $100&nbsp;million. This loan, which
bore interest at 10% per annum and matured on December&nbsp;15, 2010, was secured by mortgages encumbering all of our wholly-owned warehouse facilities and was guaranteed by certain of our
subsidiaries. We believe that the terms of the old mortgage were at least as fair to us as the terms that we would have expected to negotiate with third parties under similar circumstances. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
October&nbsp;27, 2004, we repaid our old mortgage with a portion of the proceeds from our new mortgage loan. See "Description of Certain Indebtedness&#151;Mortgage." </FONT></P>

common stock beneficially owned by him or her on the date that this offering is consummated. If Cerberus ABP or any successor entity sells a percentage of its shares of common stock, our executive
officers who own shares will be entitled to sell the same percentage of their shares as are sold by Cerberus ABP or its successor. </FONT></P>

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

Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and the provisions of applicable law. Copies of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws have been filed as exhibits to the
registration 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 100&nbsp;million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 20&nbsp;million shares are issued and
outstanding, and 30&nbsp;million 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 38,525 shares are issued and outstanding prior to the consummation of this offering. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds of the offering to redeem the
remainder of our series&nbsp;A preferred stock, of which approximately $38.5&nbsp;million in stated amount is outstanding, and pay all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. Proceeds from the new
mortgage loan were used to redeem 56,475&nbsp;shares of our series&nbsp;A preferred stock at an aggregate redemption price of approximately $59.2&nbsp;million (including all accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon). 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 29,500,000&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 Amended and Restated 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;In connection with the acquisition, we issued 95,000 shares of series&nbsp;A preferred stock at a price of $1,000 per share to Cerberus ABP Investor LLC, an
affiliate of Cerberus. The series&nbsp;A preferred stock is subject to redemption at our option at any time in whole or in part, in increments not less than $5,000,000, at a redemption price in cash

amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends on such share computed to the date of redemption. Dividends accrue at a rate of 10% per annum, compounded quarterly, and accrue daily. We are
required to make an offer to redeem the series&nbsp;A preferred stock upon a Change of Control or a Cash Transaction (as these terms are defined in the certificate of designations for the
series&nbsp;A preferred stock) at the redemption price. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds of this offering to redeem the remainder of our series&nbsp;A preferred stock, of which
approximately $38.5&nbsp;million in stated amount is outstanding, and pay all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. On October&nbsp;27, 2004, we used proceeds from the new mortgage loan obtained
by us and our subsidiaries to redeem 56,475&nbsp;shares of our series&nbsp;A preferred stock at an aggregate redemption price of approximately $59.2&nbsp;million (including accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon). See "Use of Proceeds." </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have determined that the series&nbsp;A preferred stock should be classified in the mezzanine section as provided by guidance contained in Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Topic
D-98,
"Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities." Under this guidance, classification in the permanent equity section is not considered appropriate if the preferred stock is redeemable upon
majority vote of our board of directors and such board is controlled by the preferred security holders. At October&nbsp;2, 2004, preferred security holders controlled 90.5% of the outstanding voting
stock. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
certificate of designations relating to our series&nbsp;A preferred stock prohibits us from doing the following without the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a
majority of the then outstanding shares of series&nbsp;A preferred stock. Following the consummation of the offering, these covenants will cease to apply to us since no shares of series&nbsp;A
preferred stock will remain outstanding. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Amended and Restated 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 after dissolution and particular types of loans. The effect of these provisions is to
eliminate the rights of our company and our stockholders (through stockholders' derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duty
as a director (including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior), except in the situations described above. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors under the federal

foregoing provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change of
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>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior to this offering, there has been no market for our common stock. Based on the number of shares outstanding at October&nbsp;2, 2004, upon completion of
this offering, we will have an aggregate of 29,500,000&nbsp;shares of common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis assuming no exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares
and no exercise of outstanding options. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full, assuming no exercise of outstanding options, we will have
30,925,000&nbsp;shares of common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis. 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 term is defined in Rule&nbsp;144, may generally only be sold in compliance with the limitations of Rule&nbsp;144,
which is summarized below. The remaining 20,000,000&nbsp;shares of our common stock that are outstanding after this offering, or approximately 64.7% of our common stock, assuming the underwriters
exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full will be restricted shares under the terms of the Securities Act. All of these shares are subject to lock-up agreements as
described in "Underwriting." Restricted shares may be sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rules&nbsp;144 or 701 promulgated under
the Securities Act, which rules are summarized below. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
general, under Rule&nbsp;144 as currently in effect, beginning 90&nbsp;days after the date of this prospectus, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at least
one year and has complied with the requirements described below would be entitled to sell a specified number of shares within any three-month period. That number of shares cannot exceed the greater of
one percent of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately 295,000 shares immediately after this offering, or the average weekly trading volume of our common
stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form&nbsp;144 reporting the sale. Sales under Rule&nbsp;144 are also restricted by manner of
sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us. Rule&nbsp;144 also provides that our affiliates who are selling shares of our common stock that are
not restricted shares must comply with the same restrictions applicable to restricted shares with the exception of the holding period requirement. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
Rule&nbsp;144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been our affiliate at any time during the 90&nbsp;days preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed
to be sold for at
least two years, is entitled to sell those shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule&nbsp;144. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rule&nbsp;701
provides that the shares of common stock acquired upon the exercise of currently outstanding options or pursuant to other rights granted under our equity incentive plans
may be resold, to the extent not restricted by the terms of the lock-up agreements, by persons, other than affiliates, beginning 90&nbsp;days after the date of this prospectus, subject
only to the manner of sale provisions of Rule&nbsp;144, and by affiliates under Rule&nbsp;144, without compliance with its one-year minimum holding period. As of October&nbsp;2,
2004, options to purchase a total of 1,259,000 shares of common stock were outstanding, none of which will be exercisable upon consummation of this offering and some of which are subject to
lock-up agreements with the underwriters, as described below. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following is a summary of the material provisions of the instruments evidencing our material indebtedness. It does not include all of the provisions of our
material indebtedness, copies of which have been or will be filed as exhibits to our registration statement filed in connection with this offering. </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, our operating company entered into a revolving credit facility with Congress Financial Corporation, or Congress, as administrative and
collateral agent, Congress and Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., 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>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Availability.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Availability under the revolving credit facility is restricted to the lesser of $700&nbsp;million and the
borrowing base amount. The revolving credit facility includes a $30&nbsp;million subfacility for letters of credit. The borrowing base amount is defined as the amount equal to (a)&nbsp;85% of the
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
eligible inventory located on our operating company's premises, (B)&nbsp;the value of eligible domestic in-transit inventory, (C)&nbsp;the value of eligible international
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
(y)&nbsp;10% of the then effective revolving loan limit (which cannot exceed $700&nbsp;million) </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>minus</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> (c)&nbsp;reserves, in such amounts as the
agent may from time to time establish. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Maturity and Security.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The revolving credit facility matures on May&nbsp;7, 2009. Loans made pursuant to the revolving
credit facility are secured by (i)&nbsp;a first priority security interest in all our operating company's inventory and receivables and (ii)&nbsp;while the term loan facility is in place, a second
priority security interest in all our operating company's other personal property. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest Rates.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Advances under the revolving credit facility are made as prime rate loans or eurodollar loans at our
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>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On October&nbsp;27, 2004, certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, which own the 61 warehouse properties occupied by our operating company, obtained a new
mortgage loan in the amount of $165&nbsp;million from Column Financial, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC. The proceeds from the new mortgage loan were used to redeem
56,475 shares of our series&nbsp;A preferred stock held by Cerberus at an aggregate redemption price of approximately $59.2&nbsp;million (including all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) and to
repay the $100&nbsp;million principal amount
of our old mortgage held by Cerberus, plus accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $0.4&nbsp;million thereon. Cerberus and its affiliates received approximately $159.6&nbsp;million from the
proceeds of the mortgage refinancing plus accrued and unpaid interest on our old mortgage. Our new mortgage loan is secured by cross-collateralized first mortgage liens encumbering the properties. For
a list of our 61 warehouse properties that secure the new mortgage loan, see "Business&#151;Our Business Strategy&#151;Properties and Facilities." Each mortgage borrower is a special
purpose entity, or SPE Borrower, and was formed and operates as a separate legal entity from its affiliates, including us and our operating company. Pusuant to covenants in the loan documentation,
assets and credit of any SPE Borrower are not available to satisfy the debts and other obligations of such affiliates or any other person or entity, other than another SPE&nbsp;Borrower in

rate of 4.25% (a 2% floor on LIBOR plus 2.25%). Interest on our new mortgage loan is capped pursuant to a rate cap agreement at 8.25% (a 6% cap on LIBOR plus 2.25%). The new mortgage loan has a

beginning of the sixth year, to reflect increases in the consumer price index or, if there has been no increase in the consumer price index, by 2%. In addition, the lease is subordinated to the new
mortgage loan, and the master tenant has agreed to pay rent into an account maintained in trust for the benefit of the lender, on rent payment dates which track the debt service payment due dates for
the loan. The rents will be applied by the loan servicer to fund monthly debt service and reserves, with the remainder being remitted to the SPE Borrowers' accounts. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
loan documentation provides that we may sell up to 85% of our common stock publicly, provided that any such sale does not result in a change of control or in our being subject to
consolidation with another entity, but also provides that (i)&nbsp;at any time, the equity holders in the SPE
Borrowers may transfer up to 49% of the stock or limited partnership interests, as applicable, in any SPE Borrower, provided that such transfer does not result in a change of control of such
SPE&nbsp;Borrower or Guarantor and (ii)&nbsp;on a one-time basis, upon payment of a transfer fee equal to 0.50%, and (if a securitization of the loan has occurred) delivery of a "no downgrade"
letter, the properties may be transferred, subject to certain conditions, including lender approval of the proposed transferee and substitute guarantor. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
loan documentation permits partial releases of the properties securing the new mortgage loan, with a release price of 110% of the loan amount allocated to the property being released
plus, if applicable, a prepayment fee and an exit fee of 0.50%, subject to debt service coverage ratio tests and loan-to-value determinations, as well as individual property
substitutions for properties of equal or greater fair market value, subject to payment of the difference if less than fair market value, (but subject to a cap on the aggregate loan amounts allocated
to the substituted properties of 30% of the loan amount and also subject to debt service coverage ratio tests and loan-to-value determinations). </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
also executed a customary guaranty and indemnity with respect to the recourse obligations of the SPE Borrowers pursuant to the loan documentation. Our guarantee and indemnification
liability is capped at $10&nbsp;million in the aggregate, plus certain interest charges for late payment and certain expenses unless we or our affiliates derive economic benefit (to the detriment of
the lender) as a result of certain events such as the misappropriation or conversion of insurance proceeds or rents collected more than one month in advance and the failure to promptly turn over to
the lender rent collected during the continuance of an event of default under the loan documentation. We and the SPE&nbsp;Borrowers also entered into an environmental indemnity agreement whereby we
and the SPE&nbsp;Borrowers agreed to fully indemnify the lender for claims arising out of certain violations of environmental laws, the presence of hazardous substances, and other environmental
matters. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
loan documentation also contains usual and customary default remedies, including rights of foreclosure against the property owned by the SPE Borrowers, as well as customary
restrictive covenants such as are generally described under "Risk Factors&#151;Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and Our Business&#151;The instruments governing our indebtedness contain
various covenants limiting the discretion of our management in operating our business." </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 stock </FONT></P>

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>&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

sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus. Any shares sold by the

to the offering, there has been no public market for the shares. The initial public offering price will be 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;Our common stock has been approved for listing 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>The
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,
2004 as described in Note&nbsp;1, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
discussed in Note&nbsp;2 of the Divisional Statements, in 2003, Building Products Distribution Division adopted the expense recognition provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.&nbsp;123, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, as amended. </FONT></P>

<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. The average balance due from Georgia-Pacific was $442&nbsp;million, $461&nbsp;million and $438&nbsp;million for 2003, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. The Company is </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' Accounting for

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Cash and Equivalents  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash equivalents include time deposits and other securities with original maturities of three months or less. </FONT></P>

<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 </FONT></P>

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

<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

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><B>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other Transactions with Georgia-Pacific  </B></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 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>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Georgia-Pacific
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><B>Defined Benefit Pension and Postretirement Plans  </B></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

<P><FONT SIZE=2>We

financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit of the consolidated financial statements provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>In
our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of BlueLinx Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries at May&nbsp;6,
2004, and the consolidated results of their operations for the period from the date of inception (March&nbsp;8, 2004) to May&nbsp;6, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;BlueLinx Holdings&nbsp;Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Georgia as a wholly owned subsidiary of Cerberus ABP Investor&nbsp;LLC, with the name of ABP
Distribution Holdings&nbsp;Inc. on March&nbsp;8, 2004. On May&nbsp;7, 2004, the Company and its subsidiaries acquired the assets of the Georgia-Pacific Corporation Building Products Distribution
Division (the "Acquisition"). From inception through the date of the Acquisition, the Company engaged in organizational and start-up activities and incurred costs directly associated with
the Acquisition and in arranging debt financing associated with it. On August&nbsp;30, 2004, the Company changed its state of incorporation to Delaware and changed its name to BlueLinx
Holdings&nbsp;Inc. </FONT></P>

<DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2><B>2.</B></FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2><B>Summary of Significant Accounting Policies</B></FONT></DD></DL>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Principles of consolidation  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiary, BlueLinx Corporation, and BlueLinx Corporation's wholly-owned subsidiaries. These entities were formed at
the same time as the Company. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Prepaid acquisition costs  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Costs,
incurred from inception until the Acquisition, that were directly related to the Acquisition were recorded as prepaid acquisition costs. These costs will be included in the total
cost of the Acquisition to be allocated under the purchase method of accounting. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Prepaid debt issuance costs  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Costs, incurred from inception until the Acquisition, that were directly related to obtaining debt financing were recorded as prepaid debt issuance costs. These
costs will be capitalized upon the issuance of the related debt and amortized over its term. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Accounts payable and accrued expenses  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior to the Acquisition, the Company operated on a non-cash basis. All costs were either accrued or billed but not paid until after the Acquisition
closed. The amount in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet represents costs prior to May&nbsp;6, 2004 that were subsequently paid. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Receivable from shareholder  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the date of incorporation, March&nbsp;8, 2004, common stock was subscribed for by the initial shareholder. However, no cash was received from the shareholder
during the period prior to May&nbsp;7, 2004. </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;The Company has adopted the fair value method of recording stock-based compensation expense in accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS&nbsp;123"). </FONT></P>

<BR>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Start-up and organizational costs  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Start-up and organizational costs incurred that were not directly related to the Acquisition or to the issuance of debt were expensed in accordance
with AICPA Statement of Position 98-5. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Income taxes  </B></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 Company based
on enacted tax laws and tax rates (39% effective tax rate, which approximates the combined federal and state statutory rates) applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect
taxable income. Deferred income tax assets relate to the tax effects of start-up and organizational costs that have not yet been deducted for federal income tax reporting purposes. No valuation
allowance has been provided against the deferred income tax assets as they will be recoverable through taxable income generated after the Acquisition. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Statement of cash flows  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A statement of cash flows has not been presented as all transactions prior to May&nbsp;6, 2004 were non-cash. </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>

<DL compact>
<DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2><B>3.</B></FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2><B>Related party transactions</B></FONT></DD></DL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of May&nbsp;6, 2004, the Company had accounts payable in the amount of $701,667 to Cerberus ABP Investor LLC or its affiliates related to reimbursement of various items. These
amounts due to Cerberus ABP Investor LLC or its affiliates are non-interest bearing, and thus no interest expense has been recorded. </FONT></P>

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

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;BlueLinx Holdings&nbsp;Inc. (the "Company") was created on March&nbsp;8, 2004 as a Georgia corporation named ABP Distribution Holdings&nbsp;Inc. On
May&nbsp;7, 2004, the Company and its subsidiary acquired the assets of the building products distribution division of Georgia-Pacific Corporation ("Georgia-Pacific"), as described below. On
August&nbsp;30, 2004, ABP Distribution Holdings Inc. merged into BlueLinx Holdings&nbsp;Inc., a Delaware corporation. </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 annual 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. </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

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;12, 2004, the Company and its operating company BlueLinx Corporation 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. The Company is currently waiting on a final actuarial valuation for its 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 $824&nbsp;million (subject to a post-closing working capital
adjustment). As of October&nbsp;2, 2004, the Company had paid purchase consideration of approximately $776&nbsp;million. On October&nbsp;29, 2004, the Company made a final working capital
settlement payment of $48&nbsp;million to Georgia-Pacific (including $0.8&nbsp;million of interest accrued thereon). The asset purchase was funded with net proceeds of $479&nbsp;million from
drawings under BlueLinx Corporation's asset-based revolving credit facility, net proceeds of $97&nbsp;million from its term loan, proceeds of $100&nbsp;million from a mortgage loan made to the
Company by ABPMC LLC ("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,
the Company paid debt issue costs of $12&nbsp;million and $3&nbsp;million for its asset- </FONT></P>

Company's intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships, internally developed software, and supply agreements each totaling $7&nbsp;million,
$4&nbsp;million and $5&nbsp;million, respectively. These assets will be amortized over a period of 6&nbsp;years, 3&nbsp;years, and 6&nbsp;years, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
part of the acquisition transactions, the Company entered into a Master Purchase, Supply&nbsp;&amp; Distribution Agreement with Georgia-Pacific. The Company believes that the economic
terms of the supply agreement are beneficial, since they provide the Company with certain discounts off standard industry pricing indices, certain cash discounts and favorable payment terms. The
supply agreement details distribution rights by product categories, including exclusivity rights and minimum supply volume commitments from Georgia-Pacific with respect to certain products. This
agreement also details the Company's purchase obligations by product categories, including substantial minimum purchase volume commitments with respect to most of the products supplied to the Company.
The Company's purchase obligations under this agreement are approximately $301&nbsp;million for the remainder of 2004 and $1.255&nbsp;billion for each of the next four years. If the Company fails
or refuses to purchase any products that it is obligated to purchase pursuant to the supply agreement, Georgia-Pacific has the right to sell products to third parties and, for certain products,
terminate the Company's exclusivity, and the Company may be required to pay monetary penalties. The agreement has a five-year initial term and remains continuously in effect thereafter
unless it is terminated. Termination of the supply agreement requires two years' notice, exercisable after year four. 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 supply agreement in respect of the affected product
categories and the supply agreement will remain in full force with respect to the remaining product categories. The supply agreement also provides for certain advertising, marketing and promotion
arrangements between the Company and Georgia-Pacific for certain products. In addition, the </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On May&nbsp;7, 2004, BlueLinx Corporation 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 the Company's election. The revolving credit facility loans are secured by (i)&nbsp;a first priority security interest in all
inventory and receivables and (ii)&nbsp;while the term loan facility is in place, a second priority security interest in all other personal property. Borrowing availability is based on eligible
accounts receivable and inventory. As of October&nbsp;2, 2004, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $473.5&nbsp;million and availability of $220&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 October&nbsp;2, 2004 was 3.944%. 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 revolving credit facility which are being amortized over the term of the facility. </FONT></P>

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

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On May&nbsp;7, 2004, BlueLinx Corporation 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 personal property other than inventory and receivables and (ii)&nbsp;while the revolving credit facility is
in place, a second priority security interest in inventory and receivables. Cerberus and its affiliates own 94% of the term loan. </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 the election of BlueLinx Corporation. Interest rates payable upon such advances are based upon
the reference rate or LIBOR rate depending on the type of loan BlueLinx Corporation chooses, plus an applicable margin. The term loan bears 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. BlueLinx Corporation incurred $3&nbsp;million of debt issue costs related to the term loan facility which are being amortized
over the term of the facility. </FONT></P>

availability under the revolving credit facility has been less than $40&nbsp;million for the third (3rd) consecutive business day and ending on a subsequent date on which the amount of adjusted
excess availability has been equal to or greater than $40&nbsp;million for the sixtieth (60th) consecutive day, that (i)&nbsp;BlueLinx Corporation meets a monthly fixed charge coverage test, as

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is the borrower of a $100&nbsp;million mortgage loan made by ABPMC, an affiliate of Cerberus, or the ABPMC loan. This loan, which bears interest at
10% per annum, and which matures on or about December&nbsp;15, 2010, is secured by mortgages encumbering all of the Company's wholly-owned warehouse facilities. Voluntary prepayment (in whole or in
part) of the ABPMC loan is permitted at any time without premium or penalty. Any disposition or financing of, or the receipt of casualty insurance proceeds or condemnation awards in connection with,
any of the warehouse facilities, triggers a mandatory prepayment of the ABPMC loan in an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds of such disposition, financing, or receipt of proceeds or awards,
except that the Company has the right to release warehouse facilities from the lien of the ABPMC loan in connection with the right of substitution as permitted under the unitary lease of the
properties from the Company to its operating company, subject to compliance with the conditions thereto contained in the unitary lease and further subject to the spreading of the lien of the ABPMC
loan to cover the substitute facilities. The Company is required to subject any material after-required real property interests to the lien of the ABPMC loan. The ABPMC loan obligations are jointly
and severally guaranteed by each of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries. The ABPMC loan was refinanced on October&nbsp;27, 2004. For a description of the mortgage refinancing transactions, see

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The series A preferred stock ranks senior to all classes of common stock and any other class of capital stock or series of preferred stock with respect to
dividend distributions and distributions upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
a Liquidation Event (as such term is defined in the Certificate of Designations of the Series&nbsp;A Preferred Stock), the holders of series&nbsp;A preferred stock shall be
entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the sum of the issuance price plus all accrued and/or declared but unpaid dividends ("liquidation preference payment"). </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
holders of series A preferred stock are entitled to receive, in cash, dividends at the rate of 10% of the liquidation preference payment per annum. Such dividends are cumulative,
shall compound quarterly and accrue daily from the date of issuance. Accrued and unpaid dividends of $4.0&nbsp;million ($41.80 per share) as of October&nbsp;2, 2004 were included in redeemable
preferred stock in the accompanying balance sheet. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At
any time, the Company has the right to redeem any or all of the outstanding shares of the preferred stock, in cash, at a price per share equal to the liquidation preference payment. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company is required to make an offer to redeem the series&nbsp;A preferred stock upon a Change of Control or a Cash Transaction (as these terms are defined in the certificate of
designations for the series&nbsp;A preferred stock) at the redemption price. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company has determined that the series A preferred stock should be classified in the mezzanine section as provided by guidance contained in EITF Topic D-98, "Classification and
Measurement of Redeemable Securities." Under this guidance, classification in the permanent equity section is not considered appropriate if the preferred stock is redeemable upon majority vote of the
board of directors and such board is controlled by the preferred security holders. At October&nbsp;2, 2004, preferred security holders controlled 90.5% of the outstanding voting stock. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
October&nbsp;27, 2004, proceeds from the new mortgage loan were used to redeem 56,475 shares of the Company's series&nbsp;A preferred stock. See "&#151;Subsequent Events." </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Earnings per common share  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basic and diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income less dividend requirements on the series A preferred stock by the weighted average number

<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 $15.1&nbsp;million for the period from January&nbsp;4, 2004 to May&nbsp;7, 2004 and first nine months 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 $5.3&nbsp;million
and $9.8&nbsp;million for the nine months ended October&nbsp;2, 2004 and the first nine months of 2003, respectively. </FONT></P>

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 $5.7&nbsp;million for the period from January&nbsp;4, 2004 to May&nbsp;7, 2004 and first nine months of 2003, respectively. Purchases from
Georgia-Pacific were $519&nbsp;million and $848&nbsp;million for the period from January&nbsp;4, 2004 to May&nbsp;7, 2004 and first nine months of 2003, respectively. For the period from
January&nbsp;4, 2004 to May&nbsp;7, 2004, Georgia-Pacific transferred approximately $1.7&nbsp;million of fixed assets to the division in non-cash transfers. For the first nine months
of 2003, the Division transferred approximately $1.5&nbsp;million of fixed assets to Georgia-Pacific 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 accompanying
statements of cash flows. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Supply Agreement.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Concurrently with the acquisitions, we entered into a Master Purchase, Supply&nbsp;&amp; Distribution
Agreement with Georgia-Pacific. Under the supply agreement, the Company has substantial minimum purchase volume commitments with respect to most of the products supplied to it. If the Company fails or
refuses to purchase any products that the Company is obligated to purchase pursuant to the supply agreement, Georgia-Pacific has the right to sell products to third parties, and for certain products,
terminate the Company's exclusivity and the Company may be
required to pay monetary penalties. The agreement has a five-year initial term followed by an annual automatic renewal provision requiring 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 supply agreement in respect of the affected product categories and the supply agreement will
remain in full force with respect to the remaining product categories. </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, the Company's operating company entered into a transition services
agreement with Georgia-Pacific. The services covered under the agreement include all currently provided support services in the several operating areas, including transportation management and sales
and marketing. The Company has 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, the Company has 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, the Company's
operating company may elect to sooner terminate one or more sub-categories of IT support services, 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 December&nbsp;31, 2004. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company established a $6.8&nbsp;million lower of cost or market reserve at October&nbsp;2, 2004 because prices for structural products declined late in the third quarter of

Share-Based Payment, would be effective for public companies for interim or annual periods beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2005. As revised, this statement will require all companies to measure
compensation cost for all share-based payments (including employee stock options) at fair value. The Company will be required to apply the revised standard beginning July&nbsp;1, 2005, or for the
quarter ending September&nbsp;30, 2005. The Company may choose to apply the provisions retroactively from January&nbsp;1, 2005 to June&nbsp;30, 2005, and restate the year-to-date period in its
quarterly report on Form&nbsp;10-Q for the third quarter of 2005. Alternatively, the Company can early adopt the proposed SFAS in its quarterly report on Form&nbsp;10-Q for the first

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Georgia-Pacific
is a defendant 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. These suits allege a variety of lung and other diseases based on alleged exposure to products previously manufactured by Georgia-Pacific. Based on Georgia-Pacific's public
disclosure in its Quarterly Report on Form&nbsp;10-Q for the quarter ended October&nbsp;2, 2004, there were 59,800 unresolved asbestos claims against Georgia-Pacific at the end of the first nine
months of 2004. Although the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement provide that Georgia-Pacific will indemnify the Company against all obligations and liabilities arising out of, relating to or
otherwise in any way in respect of any product liability claims (including, without limitation, claims, obligations or liabilities relating to the presence or alleged presence of asbestos-containing
materials) with respect to products purchased, sold, marketed, stored, delivered, distributed or transported by Georgia-Pacific and its affiliates, including the Division prior to the acquisition, the
Company believes that circumstances may arise under which asbestos-related claims against Georgia-Pacific could cause it to incur substantial costs. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
example, in the event that Georgia-Pacific is financially unable to respond to an asbestos product liability claim, plaintiffs' lawyers may, in order to obtain recovery, attempt to
sue the Company, in its capacity as owner of assets sold by Georgia-Pacific, despite the fact that the assets sold to the Company did not contain asbestos. Asbestos litigation has, over the years,
proved unpredictable, as the aggressive and well-financed asbestos plaintiffs' bar has been creative, and often successful, in bringing claims based on novel legal theories and on
expansive interpretations of existing legal theories. These claims have included claims against companies that did not manufacture asbestos products. As a result of these factors, a number of
companies have been held liable for amounts far in excess of their perceived exposure. Although the Company believes, based on its understanding of the law as currently interpreted, that it should not
be held liable for any of Georgia-Pacific's asbestos-related claims, and, to the contrary, that it would prevail on summary judgment on any such claims, there is nevertheless a possibility that new
theories could be developed, or that the application of existing theories could be expanded, in a manner that would result in liability for the Company. Any such liability would ultimately be borne by
the Company if Georgia-Pacific is unable to fulfill its indemnity obligation under the Asset Purchase Agreement. </FONT></P>

currently estimated at $2&nbsp;million, with maximum cost to the Company of $1&nbsp;million, equal to its insurance deductible. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>New Mortgage Loan  </I></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On October&nbsp;27, 2004, certain of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, which own the 61 warehouse properties occupied by BlueLinx Corporation, obtained
from Column Financial, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, a new mortgage loan in the amount of $165&nbsp;million. Each mortgage borrower is a special-purpose entity,
i.e., it is a separate legal entity from its affiliates (including without limitation, the Company and BlueLinx Corporation) whose assets and credit are not available to satisfy the debts and other
obligations of such affiliates or any other person or entity. The new mortgage loan obtained by the Company and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries was used to pay off the Company's existing
$100&nbsp;million principal amount of mortgage debt plus $0.4&nbsp;million of accrued and unpaid interest thereon and redeem 56,475&nbsp;shares of the Company's series&nbsp;A preferred stock
at an aggregate redemption price of approximately $59.2&nbsp;million (including accrued and unpaid dividends thereon). </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>Preference Claim  </I></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On November&nbsp;19, 2004, the Company received a letter from Wickes Lumber, or Wickes, asserting that approximately $16&nbsp;million in payments received by
the Division during the 90&nbsp;day period prior to Wickes' January&nbsp;20, 2004 Chapter 11 filing were preferential payments under section&nbsp;547 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
Although the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined with certainty, the Company believes Wickes' assertion to be without merit and, in any event, subject to one or more complete
defenses, including, but not limited to, that the payments were made and received in the ordinary course of business and were in substantially contemporaneous exchange for new value given to Wickes.
Accordingly, the Company has no plans to establish a reserve with respect to the asserted claim. </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>

time to time. No amendment or repeal of Article&nbsp;V shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Company for or with respect to any acts or

Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, nonprofit entity or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit
plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Covered Person in
connection with such action suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful or (ii)&nbsp;was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,

and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except as otherwise provided by law. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as
otherwise provided in our Amended and Restated Bylaws, the Company shall be required to indemnify a Covered Person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Covered Person
only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the Covered Person was authorized by our Amended and Restated Bylaws, in any written agreement with the Company, or in the specific
case by the board of directors or stockholders; provided, however, that if successful in whole or in part in any suit for the advancement of expenses or indemnification under Article&nbsp;VI, the

as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is 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>

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection&nbsp;(a) or (b)
above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party
shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified
party otherwise than under such subsection.&nbsp; In case any such action shall
be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying
party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any
other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof,

thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party
under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other
expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation.&nbsp; No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent
of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to
the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or
claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought
hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party
to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i)
includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability
arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to
or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of

insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection&nbsp;(a) or
(b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received
by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the
offering of the Shares.&nbsp; If, however, the allocation provided by the
immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the
indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection&nbsp;(c)
above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the
Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with
the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.&nbsp; The relative benefits received by the Company
on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the
same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting
expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and
commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the
table on the cover page of the Prospectus.&nbsp; The relative fault shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one
hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties&#146; relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such

permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended,
any person (a &#147;Covered Person&#148;) who (i) 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 (other
than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact
that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is
or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer
of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a

criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful or (ii) was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right

provided in the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Corporation (as the same may
provide from time to time) (the &#147;Amended and Restated Bylaws&#148;), the Corporation
shall be required to indem&#173;nify a Covered Person in connec&#173;tion with a pro&#173;ceeding
(or part thereof) commenced by such Covered Person only if the com&#173;mencement of
such proceeding (or part thereof) by the Covered Person was authorized by the
Amended and Restated Bylaws, in any written agreement with the Corporation, or
in the specific case by the Board of Directors or stockholders; provided,
however, that if successful in whole or in part in any suit for the advancement
of expenses or indemnification hereunder, the Covered Person shall be entitled
to payment of the expense of litigating such suit.&#160; Nothing in this Article VI shall affect any rights to
indemnification or advancement of expenses to which directors, officers, employees
or agents of the Corporation otherwise may be entitled under the Amended and

authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors or stockholders, grant

Article VI with respect to the indemnification&#160;

Corporation.&#160; Without limiting the
generality or the effect of the foregoing, the Corporation may enter into one
