                      PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION


         Quarterly Financial Statements

         The quarterly financial statements of the Company and its
         subsidiaries for the second quarter of 1994 and certain related
         notes are presented in the Company's Report to Shareholders for the
         Second Quarter of 1994 under the captions "Balance Sheets,"
         "Statements of Loss," "Segment Information," "Statements of Cash
         Flows," and "Notes to Quarterly Financial Statements" and are filed
         herewith as an exhibit and incorporated herein by this reference. 
         
         The quarterly financial statements have not been audited by indepen-
         dent public accountants, but in the opinion of management, all
         adjustments necessary to present fairly the results for the periods
         have been included.  Except as may be disclosed in the "Notes to
         Quarterly Financial Statements," the adjustments made were of a
         normal, recurring nature.  Quarterly results are not necessarily
         indicative of results that may be expected for the year.

         The statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the
         rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
         financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
         such rules and regulations.  These quarterly financial statements
         should be read together with the statements and the accompanying
         notes included in the Company's 1993 Annual Report.

         Supplementary Notes to Quarterly Financial Statements

         The following notes supplement the Notes to Quarterly Financial
         Statements referred to previously.  

(1)      NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE.  Net loss per common share was deter-
         mined by dividing net loss, as adjusted, by applicable shares
         outstanding.  The computation of fully diluted net loss per share
         was antidilutive in each of the periods presented; therefore, the
         amounts reported for primary and fully diluted loss are the same.

         For the six-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, primary
         average shares include only common shares outstanding.  For these
         periods, common stock equivalents attributable to stock options,
         Series E conversion preferred stock, and Series G conversion
         preferred stock subsequent to issuance in September 1993 were
         excluded because they were antidilutive.  Excluded common equivalent
         shares were 16,714,000 at June 30, 1994, compared with 8,745,000
         shares at the same date in the prior year.  In addition to common
         and common equivalent shares, fully diluted average shares include
         common shares that would be issuable upon conversion of the
         Company's other convertible securities.

        Fully diluted                            61,668         53,756

         Primary loss includes the aggregate amount of dividends on the
         Company's preferred stock.  The dividend attributable to the
         Company's Series D convertible preferred stock held by the Company's
         ESOP (employee stock ownership plan) is net of a tax benefit.  To
         determine the fully diluted loss, dividends on convertible preferred
         stock and interest, net of any applicable taxes, have been added
         back to primary loss to reflect assumed conversions.  The fully
         diluted loss was increased by the after-tax amount of additional
         contributions that the Company would be required to make to its ESOP
         if the Series D ESOP preferred shares were converted to common
         stock.

(2)      DEBT.  At June 30, 1994, the Company had a $650 million revolving
         credit agreement with a group of banks.  Borrowing under the
         agreement was $370 million.

         In July 1994, the Company filed a new shelf registration with the
         Securities and Exchange Commission for debt securities.  After
         incorporating the remaining $20 million from a prior shelf
         registration, at July 15, 1994, the Company had $420 million of
         shelf capacity for new publicly registered debt.

(4)   INCOME TAXES.  Effective as of January 1, 1993, the Company adopted new
      Financial Accounting Standards Board requirements that govern the way
      deferred taxes are calculated and reported.  Adoption of these
      requirements entailed a one-time adjustment that had no effect on the
      Company's first quarter 1993 net loss.

      The components of the net deferred tax liability on the Company's
      Balance Sheet were determined as follows:

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations

Second Quarter of 1994 Compared With Second Quarter of 1993

Boise Cascade Corporation's net loss was $19.2 million, or 86 cents per
primary and fully diluted share, for the second quarter of 1994.  The net
loss for the second quarter of 1993 was $17.1 million, or 72 cents per
primary and fully diluted share, which included a positive Canadian income
tax rate adjustment of $5 million, or 13 cents per share.

Sales for the second quarter of 1994 were $1.075 billion, compared with
$974 million for the same quarter of 1993. 

The Company's paper and paper products segment reported a loss of
$35.9 million in the second quarter of 1994, compared with a loss of
$32.2 million in the second quarter of 1993.  Segment sales of $479 million
were essentially flat with those of the second quarter of 1993.  Average
prices for the Company's largest-volume grades, uncoated free sheet and
newsprint, were down about 6 percent.  Average coated paper prices declined
8 percent, while prices for containerboard and market pulp continued to
improve.  Weak prices were only partially offset by lower unit manufacturing
costs and increased volume.

Income in the office products segment was $10.1 million in the second
quarter -- slightly higher than the second quarter 1993 level, even after
absorbing start-up costs from new facilities.  Second-quarter dollar sales
volume was $212 million, up 31 percent from year-ago levels due to sales from
the Company's new facility in Denver, Colorado, the recently acquired office
products business in Atlanta, Georgia, and the newly acquired direct-mail
business of The Reliable Corporation.  Sales on a same-store basis grew
12 percent over last year's levels.  

The Company's building products segment reported income of $43.9 million, up
from $33.5 million in the comparison quarter, despite average product prices
that were lower in most cases than in the second quarter of 1993.  The
improved performance was due to increased volume in most product lines and
to moderating log costs.  The Company's results continued to be enhanced by
an important contribution from its engineered wood products business. 
Segment sales of $433 million in the second quarter of 1994 were improved,
compared with $370 million reported in the second quarter 1993.

Interest expense increased slightly to $38.6 million in the second quarter
of 1994, compared with $36.8 million in the same period last year, primarily
due to higher debt levels.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1994, Compared With Six Months Ended June 30, 1993

The Company had a net loss of $56.8 million, or $2.21 per primary and fully
diluted share, for the first six months of 1994.  This compares with a net
loss of $29.2 million, or $1.28 per primary and fully diluted share, for the
first six months of 1993, which includes a positive Canadian income tax rate
adjustment of $5 million, or 13 cents per share.

Sales for the first six months of 1994 were $2.089 billion, compared with
$1.958 billion for the same period in 1993.

The operating loss in the Company's paper and paper products segment was
$105.6 million for the first six months of 1994, compared with a loss of
$75.8 million for the same period in 1993.  Included in the results for the
first six months of 1993 was a gain of $8.6 million from the sale of the
Company's interest in a specialty paper producer.  

Sales of $951 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994, were flat with
those of the prior-year six-month period despite slightly increased sales
volumes.  Weighted average paper prices declined marginally between the
comparison periods.  Prices for newsprint, one of the Company's key paper
grades, remained below six-month 1993 levels, but are improving as a result
of a price increase implemented during the second quarter of 1994.  Average
prices for uncoated free sheet, coated papers, and uncoated groundwood papers
continued to be depressed, while prices for market pulp and containerboard
moderately improved during the period.  Manufacturing costs for the first six
months were down from those of the comparison period despite severe winter
weather, maintenance and lack-of-order downtime, and related operating
difficulties at some facilities experienced during the first half of 1994.

Office products segment sales were $403 million for the first six months of
1994, compared with $331 million for the first six months of 1993.  The
significant improvement was due to additional sales from existing locations
as well as from new and recently acquired facilities.  Segment income for the
first six months of 1994 was up 7 percent, compared with that of the first
six months of 1993.

Sales in the Company's building products segment increased 10 percent in the
first six months of 1994, compared with sales in the first six months of
1993.  However, segment income dropped 18 percent from that of the comparison
period due to lower average plywood and lumber sales prices and higher wood
costs in the first six months of 1994.  Plywood and lumber sales volumes were
up 10 and 3 percent, compared with those of the same period last year. 
Building materials distribution sales improved, while income declined.

Total long- and short-term debt outstanding was $2.3 billion at June 30,
1994, $2.1 billion at June 30, 1993, and $2.0 billion at December 31, 1993. 
Interest expense for both six-month periods was $75 million.  The Company's
combination of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt results in minimal exposure
from general changes in short-term market interest rates.  Capitalized
interest decreased to $791,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994, down
from $841,000 for the same period in 1993. 

Financial Condition

At June 30, 1994, the Company had working capital of $116 million.  Working
capital was $240 million at June 30, 1993, and $199 million at December 31,
1993.  Cash provided by operations was $78 million for the first six months
of 1994.  For the same period in 1993, cash provided by operations was
$118 million.

<PAGE>
As of April 15, 1994, the Company entered into a new $650 million unsecured
revolving credit agreement, which replaced its $750 million agreement.  The
agreement expires in June 1997, and any amounts outstanding are payable at
that time.  Also in April, the $130 million Canadian subsidiary credit
agreement was terminated, and the Canadian subsidiary promptly entered into
short-term loans for an aggregate of $150 million which, unless extended, are
payable on demand by the lenders.

The new revolving credit agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum
amount of net worth and not to exceed a maximum ratio of debt to net worth. 
The Company's net worth at June 30, 1994, exceeded the defined minimum amount
by $102.8 million.  The payment of dividends by the Company is dependent upon
the existence of and the amount of net worth in excess of the defined minimum
under this agreement.  The Company is also required to maintain a defined
minimum interest coverage in each successive four-quarter period, which the
Company met at June 30, 1994.  The cyclical downturn the Company has been
experiencing has reduced the Company's interest coverage.  While the Company
currently expects to continue to meet the coverage in each of the succeeding
quarters in 1994, there can be no assurance as to the results of operations
during the balance of 1994.  The Company believes it will be able to maintain
adequate liquidity to meet its various financial requirements.

In July 1994, the Company filed a new shelf registration with the Securities
and Exchange Commission for debt securities.  After incorporating the
remaining $20 million from a prior shelf registration, at July 15, 1994, the
Company had $420 million of shelf capacity for new publicly registered debt.

The Company expects to complete the previously announced consolidation of its
newsprint and uncoated goundwood businesses into an independent company in
the second half of 1994.  The Company will use proceeds from the transaction
to reduce debt and for general corporate purposes.  The details of the
transaction have not been finalized.

Capital expenditures for the first six months of 1994 were $250 million,
including purchases of facilities and the assumption of related long-term
debt.  Capital expenditures for the first six months of 1993 were
$100 million and for the year ended December 31, 1993, were $221 million.

An expanded discussion and analysis of financial condition is presented on
pages 16 and 17 of the Company's 1993 Annual Report under the captions
"Financial Condition" and "Capital Investment." 

                        PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in litigation and administrative proceedings
primarily arising in the normal course of its business.  In the opinion of
management, the Company's recovery, if any, or the Company's liability, if
any, under any pending litigation or administrative proceeding would not
materially affect its financial condition or operations. 

<PAGE>
Item 2.  Changes in Securities

agreements, the Company's net worth exceeded the defined minimum amount by
$102,834,000.

Item 5.  Other Information

Collective bargaining agreements at the Company's four Pacific Northwest pulp
and paper facilities and one converting operation expired in the spring of
1993.  The Company is operating these mills without signed collective
bargaining agreements.  On February 1, 1994, the Company implemented its
final contract offer at its Wallula, Washington, paper mill.  The Company is
in negotiations with unions representing employees at these facilities. 
While the Company believes that the Pacific Northwest negotiations can be
resolved without work stoppages or strikes, it is not possible at this time
to predict how the negotiations may conclude.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These statements are unaudited financial statements and 
should be read in conjunction with the 1993 Annual Report 
of the Company.

Effective as of January 1, 1993, the Company adopted new
Financial Accounting Standards Board requirements that govern
the way deferred taxes are calculated and reported. Adoption
of these requirements entailed a one-time adjustment that had
no effect on the Company's first quarter 1993 net loss.

In the second quarter of 1993, the Canadian federal government
reduced the statutory tax rate applicable to the Company.  In
accordance with the requirements of the newly adopted
accounting standard, net Canadian deferred tax liabilities
were reduced to reflect these rate reductions. The resultant
benefit of $5,020,000, or 13 cents per fully diluted common
share, has been included in the caption "Income tax benefit"
on the Statements of Loss for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1993.

The estimated tax rate for the first six months of 1994, was
40 percent, compared with a rate of 38 percent, exclusive of
the impact of the adjustment to deferred taxes, for the same
period in the prior year.  These rates were based on actual
year-to-date results and projected results for the remainder
of the year.

Early in the first quarter of 1993, the Company issued 
$111,151,000, net of issuance costs, of 9.4 percent
nonconvertible Series F preferred stock.

During the first quarter of 1993, the Company sold its
interest in a specialty paper producer at a pretax gain of
$8,644,000, or 14 cents per fully diluted common share after
taxes.
