Unaudited Pro Forma Boise Cascade Corporation
and Subsidiaries
Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed balance
sheet as of September 30, 1995, and the unaudited pro forma
consolidated statements of income (loss) for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, and the twelve months ended December 31,
1994, give effect to the following transactions:
On October 13, 1994, the Company's Canadian subsidiary, Rainy
River Forest Products Inc., ("Rainy River"), completed an initial
public offering of units (the "Units") of its equity and debt
securities. Concurrently with the sale of the Units, Rainy River
also sold to the public US$110,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of 10 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2001 (the "Senior Notes").
The sale of Cdn. $420,000,000 of Units consisted of 14,000,000
newly issued common shares of Rainy River sold to the public for
an aggregate offering price of Cdn. $210,000,000 and
Cdn. $210,000,000 principal amount 8.0% Convertible Unsecured
Subordinated Debentures due October 15, 2004 (the "Convertible
Debentures") sold to the public at 100% of the principal amount
thereof plus accrued interest, if any. Net proceeds to Rainy

offering was Cdn. $199,500,000 with respect to the common shares
and Cdn. $199,500,000 with respect to the Convertible Debentures.
The initial public offering price of the Units was determined
through negotiations between Rainy River and the underwriters.
The Units were separated into common shares and Convertible
Debentures at the closing of the Units offering.
The common shares sold represented approximately 51% of the total
outstanding voting common shares and approximately 40.34% of the
total outstanding equity of Rainy River. As a result, the
Company owned 49% of the outstanding voting common shares and
59.66% of the total equity of Rainy River.
Rainy River owned and operated a newsprint mill in Kenora,
Ontario, Canada, and an uncoated groundwood papers mill in Fort
Frances, Ontario, Canada. On September 28, 1994, Rainy River
acquired as part of its reorganization and refinancing, including
the sale of the Units and the Senior Notes, the Company's West
Tacoma, Washington, newsprint mill and its associated working
capital. On the same date, Rainy River also acquired the
newsprint and uncoated groundwood papers marketing and sales
organization of the Company. The Company recorded a receivable
of approximately US$148,000,000 from Rainy River as consideration
for these transactions. Rainy River and the Company also entered
into an agreement whereby Rainy River will purchase from the
Company, at a brokerage discount for resale to customers of Rainy
River, all of the newsprint produced at the Company's mill
located at DeRidder, Louisiana, for which orders have been
received by Rainy River.
On October 13, 1994 the Company received cash of US$181,724,000
from Rainy River which included payment of the consideration for
these transactions and repayment of cash advances.
Since the Company no longer exercised control, Rainy River was
accounted for on the equity method retroactive to January 1,
1994, in the Company's historical consolidated financial
statements.
In the second quarter of 1995, the Company provided US$32,500,000
of income taxes for the tax effect of the difference in the book
and tax bases of its stock ownership in Rainy River.
On November 1, 1995, the Company announced that the merger of
Rainy River and Stone-Consolidated Corporation was completed.
The new company will continue to do business as Stone-
Consolidated Corporation ("Stone-Consolidated"). As a result of
the transaction, Boise Cascade received approximately
US$183,482,000. The Company will use the proceeds from this
transaction to reduce debt, make capital investments, and enhance
shareholder returns.
The Company holds approximately 6,600,000 shares of
Stone-Consolidated common stock valued on November 1, 1995, at
approximately US$102,099,000, and representing approximately 6.4%
of Stone-Consolidated's outstanding common stock. In addition,
the Company holds approximately 2,800,000 shares of
Stone-Consolidated's redeemable preferred stock valued on
November 1, 1995, at approximately US$45,742,000. The Company
will account for its holdings in Stone-Consolidated on the cost
method.

presented as if these transactions had been completed as of
September 30, 1995, for the pro forma consolidated condensed
balance sheet and as of the first day of each period for which
pro forma consolidated statements of income (loss) are presented.

indicative of the actual financial position as it will finally be
recorded, or the results of operations which would actually have
been reported if the transactions had occurred on the dates or
for the periods indicated, or which may be reported in the

an initial public offering of units (the "Units") of its
equity and debt securities. Concurrently with the sale of

total outstanding voting common shares and approximately
40.34% of the total outstanding equity of Rainy River. As a
result, the Company owned 49% of the outstanding voting
common shares and 59.66% of the total equity of Rainy River.
Rainy River owned and operated a newsprint mill in Kenora,

refinancing, including the sale of the Units and the Senior
Notes, the Company's West Tacoma, Washington, newsprint mill
and its associated working capital. On the same date, Rainy
River also acquired the newsprint and uncoated groundwood
papers marketing and sales organization of the Company. The
Company recorded a receivable of approximately
US$148,000,000 from Rainy River as consideration for these
transactions. Rainy River and the Company also entered into
an agreement whereby Rainy River will purchase from the
Company, at a brokerage discount for resale to customers of
Rainy River, all of the newsprint produced at the Company's
mill located at DeRidder, Louisiana, for which orders have
been received by Rainy River.
On October 13, 1994 the Company received cash of
US$181,724,000 from Rainy River which included payment of

proceeds from this transaction to reduce debt, make capital
investments, and enhance shareholder returns.

condensed balance sheet and as of the first day of each
