4.  PUBLIC STOCK OFFERING

In the second quarter of 1996, the Company sold 2,300,000 shares of its
previously unissued common stock.  The price of the stock to the public was
$18.00 per share.  The proceeds from these offerings, less underwriting and
other issuance costs, were used principally to reduce debt.

5.  EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

1996.  In connection with this planned redemption, the Company wrote off the

                              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the percentage
relationship to net sales of certain costs, expenses and income items.  The
table and subsequent discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein and in the Company's

SECOND QUARTER OF 1996 COMPARED TO THE SECOND QUARTER OF 1995

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were $193.0 million up 16%
from the second quarter of 1995 when sales were $166.2 million.  The growth in
net sales resulted from an increase from the second quarter of 1995 in sales at
facilities that operated for at least two months in both the second quarter of
1995 and the second quarter of 1996 ("Same-Store Sales").  Sales in the 1996
period were positively affected by higher commodity wood product prices.  The
price increase contributed to an overall price inflator of 5%, the effect of
which increased sales by approximately $8.4 million.  Excluding price inflation,
same-store sales increased 11%.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales declined slightly to 21.9% in the second
quarter of 1996 from 22.4% in the second quarter of 1995, primarily as a result
of a higher percentage of sales to professional contractors (which generally
carry lower margins) in the 1996 period compared to 1995.


                              This is Page 9 of 17 Pages

<PAGE>

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense, was $33.1 million in the
second quarter of 1996 as compared to $30.6 million in 1995, but decreased as a
percentage of net sales from 18.4% in 1995 to 17.1% in 1996.  The Company
believes this reduction was due to improvements in costs associated with
integrating the 14 building materials centers acquired in 1994 and 1995.

Interest expense of $3.0 million in the second quarter of 1996 was flat compared
to the same period of 1995.

Income taxes were provided at estimated annual effective tax rates of 39.5% and
38.9% for the periods ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, respectively.  This
increase in the effective tax rate from 1995 was primarily due to book/tax
differences in accounting for goodwill in connection with acquisitions in 1994
and 1995.

As a result of the foregoing factors, net income before extraordinary item
increased by $1,405,000, or 57% to $3,872,000, or 2.0% of net sales in the
second quarter of 1996, as compared to $2,467,000, or 1.5% of net sales, in the
second quarter of 1995.

In the second quarter, the Company obligated itself to redeem, with the net 
proceeds of the recent equity offering, the 10% unsecured senior 
subordinated notes early in the third quarter of 1996.  In connection 
with this planned redemption, the Company wrote off the related deferred 
loan cost.  These write-offs were recorded as an extraordinary charge of 
$342,000 in the second quarter.  This charge reduced net income to 
$3,530,000 or 1.8% of sales.


FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1996 COMPARED WITH THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1995

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $340.6 million up 19% from
the first half of 1995 when sales were $286.7 million.  The growth in net sales
resulted from an increse of 10% in same-store sales, over the first six months
of 1995 and from the acquisition of new building materials centers.


                             This is Page 10 of 17 Pages

<PAGE>

Sales in the 1996 period were positively affected by higher commodity wood
product prices.  The price increase contributed to an overall price inflator
of 1% the effect of which increased sales by approximatley $3.5 million. 
Excluding price inflation, same-store sales increased 9%.


Gross profit as a percentage of sales declined slightly to 22.1% in the first
half of 1996 from 22.5% in the first six months of 1995, primarily as a result
of a higher percentage of sales to professional contractors (which generally
carry lower margins) in the 1996 period compared to 1995.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense, was $62.7 million in the
first six months of 1996 as compared to $55.4 million in 1995, but decreased as
a percentage of net sales from 19.3% in 1995 to 18.4% in 1996.  The Company
believes this reduction was due to improvements in costs associated with
integrating the 14 building materials centers acquired in 1994 and 1995.

Interest expense increased to $6.0 million in the first six months of 1996 from
$5.0 million in the same period of 1995, primarily due to additional borrowings
to finance working capital growth and acquisitions.

Other income increased to $981,000 from $721,000 in the 1995 period.  This
increase in 1996 was the result of a gain of $395,000 on the sale of real
property in 1996 made available by the consolidation of operations in the Puget
Sound market.

Income taxes were provided at estimated annual effective tax rates of 39.5% and
39.0% for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995,
respectively.  This increase in the effective tax rate from 1995 was primarily
due to book/tax differences in accounting for goodwill in connection with
acquisitions in 1994 and 1995.

As a result of the foregoing factors, net income before an extraordinary item,
increased by $1,651,000, or 55.6% to $4,622,000, or 1.4% of net sales in the
first half of 1996, as compared to $2,971,000, or 1.0% of net sales, in the
first six months of 1995.

In the second quarter, the Company obligated itself to redeem, with the net 
proceeds of the recent equity offering, the 10% unsecured senior 
subordinated notes early in the third quarter of 1996.  In connection 
with this planned redemption, the Company wrote off the related deferred 
loan cost.  These write-offs were recorded as an extraordinary charge of 
$342,000 in the second quarter.  This charge reduced net income for the 
six months ended June 30, 1996 to $4,280,000 or 1.3% of sales.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In the second quarter of 1996, the Company sold 2,300,000 shares of previously
unissued common stock.  The net proceeds of this offering of $38.5 million, less
underwriting and estimated other issuance costs, were temporarily used to reduce
the revolving credit agreement balance to zero.  A portion of the revolving
credit agreement balance will be used to retire the $20 million of 10% unsecured
senior subordinated notes which will be retired early in the third quarter of
1996.

At June 30, 1996 the Company had $75 million of long-term debt outstanding,
consisting of $75.0 million of term borrowings under fixed rate notes.  In
addition, the Company had $20.0 million of short term debt outstanding.  This
primarily represents the 10% unsecured senior subordinated notes.

In the second quarter of 1996, the Company used $7.3 million of cash in
operating activities.  Working capital decreased from $100.2 million at December
31, 1995 to $96.1 million at June 30, 1996, due primarily to the seasonality
in the Company's accounts receivable and inventories.

Based on its ability to generate cash from operations and the available
borrowing capacity at June 30, 1996 of $70.0 million under the revolving credit
agreement (availability of which is subject to the satisfaction of certain
customary borrowing conditions), the Company believes it will have sufficient
funds to meet its currently anticipated requirements.
