NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE 13 WEEKS ENDED
APRIL 26, 1997 AND APRIL 27, 1996
Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies
- ---------------------------------------------
1. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared from
the financial records of OfficeMax, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the
"Company" or "OfficeMax") without audit and reflect all adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the results
of the interim periods covered in this report. The results for any interim
period are not indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal
year. The Company's business is somewhat seasonal, with sales generally
higher in the third and fourth quarters of each year and lowest during the
second quarter, primarily because of lower office supplies consumption
during the summer vacation period.
2. The Company's consolidated financial statements for the 13 weeks ended
April 26, 1997 and April 27, 1996 included in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies
described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal
year ended January 25, 1997 which were included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (File No.
1-13380) on April 24, 1997. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Form 10-K
referred to above. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year
amounts to conform to the current presentation.
3. The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday prior to the last Wednesday
in January.
4. At April 26, 1997, the Company operated a chain of 587 office products
superstores in 231 markets, 48 states and Puerto Rico.
5. The Company's policy is to expense pre-opening expenses during the first
month of each new store's operation. Consequently, pre-opening expense in
each period is generally a function of the number of new stores opened
during that period.
6. The average common and common equivalent shares utilized in computing
earnings per share for the 13 weeks ended April 26, 1997 and April 27, 1996
include 907,093 and 1,924,143 shares, respectively, resulting from the
application of the treasury stock method to outstanding stock options.
7. The Company is required to adopt the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128), for the period ended
January 24, 1998. Earlier application is not permitted. SFAS 128 specifies
the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per
share. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 128 will have
a material effect on the Company's method of calculation or display of
earnings per share amount.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
-----------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
SALES for the 13 weeks ended April 26, 1997 increased 22% to $888,640,000 from
$730,595,000 for the comparable period a year earlier. The sales increase was
primarily attributable to a full period of sales from the 96 stores opened
during fiscal 1996, a comparable store sales increase of 5% during the 13 weeks
and, to a lesser extent, the additional sales from 23 new superstores opened at
various points during the period.
COST OF MERCHANDISE SOLD, INCLUDING BUYING AND OCCUPANCY COSTS, decreased as a
percentage of sales to 77.5% for the 13 weeks ended April 26, 1997 from 78.0% of
sales for the same period a year earlier. Correspondingly, gross profit for the
13 weeks ended April 26, 1997, was 22.5% as compared to 22.0% for the same
period a year earlier. This increase in gross profit was primarily attributable
to improved gross margins in most supply departments and improved margin
productivity in the computer merchandise category.
STORE OPERATING AND SELLING EXPENSES, which consist primarily of store payroll,
operating and advertising expenses, held at 17.1% for the 13 weeks ended April
26, 1997, compared to the same period a year earlier. This was primarily a
result of leveraging of advertising expense and tight operating expense control
offset by higher costs due to additional store openings and remodeling expense.
PRE-OPENING EXPENSE was $2,237,000 for the 13 weeks ended April 26, 1997, as
compared to $532,000 for the same period a year earlier, reflecting the opening
of 23 superstores during the 13 weeks ended April 26, 1997, compared to 7 for
the same period a year earlier. Pre-opening expenses averaged approximately
$75,000 per store for both the current and prior year, consisting primarily of
store payroll, supplies and grand opening advertising. During the first quarter,
the Company also opened 11 FurnitureMax hubs and 10 CopyMax hubs, for which
pre-opening expenses average approximately $25,000 and $35,000, respectively,
per store.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES were 2.2% for the 13 weeks ended April 26,
1997, as compared to 2.0% for the same period a year earlier, a result of the
Company's continuing expansion of its management team and infrastructure to
support the planned growth both in the United States and abroad.
GOODWILL AMORTIZATION was $2,347,000 for both the 13 weeks ended April 26, 1997
and the 13 weeks ended April 27, 1996. Goodwill is capitalized and amortized
over 40 years using the straight line method.
OPERATING INCOME increased to $24,403,000 or 2.8% of sales, for the 13 weeks
ended April 26, 1997 compared to operating income of $17,999,000, or 2.5% of
sales, for the same period a year earlier.
INTEREST INCOME, NET was $1,299,000 for the 13 weeks ended April 26, 1997, as
compared to $2,790,000 for the same period a year earlier. Interest income
declined as more cash was invested in the accelerated store expansion resulting
in lower investments.
INCOME TAXES were $9,972,000 for the 13 weeks ended April 26, 1997, as compared
to $8,235,000 for the same period a year ago. The effective tax rates for both
periods are different from the federal statutory income tax rate primarily as a
result of tax exempt interest and state and local taxes.
NET INCOME as a result of the foregoing factors, was $15,730,000 for the 13
weeks ended April 26, 1997, as compared to $12,554,000 for the same period a
year earlier.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Net cash used for operations for the 13 weeks ended April 26, 1997 was
$90,453,000. Funding required for working capital increased due to a reduction
in accounts payable, higher accounts receivable and payment of accrued expenses.
Accounts payable declined significantly this year due to the slowing of
inventory purchases towards the end of the quarter in anticipation of the
seasonally lower revenue expected in the second quarter. Conversely, in the
first quarter of 1996, the Company took advantage of buying opportunities in new
technologies to substantially increase purchases of computers and electronics
which offset the seasonal effect on accounts payable. Net cash used for
investing activities was $35,589,000 for the period, principally as a result of
the purchase of fixed assets for new and remodeled stores. Net cash provided by
financing was $1,134,000 for the period, primarily from net proceeds received
from the sale of shares under the Company's share purchase plans and the
exercise of stock options.
The Company plans to open approximately 30 to 35 new OfficeMax superstores, 18
new FurnitureMax stores, 19 new CopyMax stores and remodel 70 existing
superstores during the quarter ending July 26, 1997. Management estimates that
the Company's cash requirements for these openings and remodels, exclusive of
pre-opening expenses, will be approximately $1,200,000, $215,000, $430,000, and
$196,000, respectively, for each additional OfficeMax, FurnitureMax, CopyMax,
and store remodel. For an OfficeMax superstore, the requirements include an
average of approximately $450,000 for leasehold improvements, fixtures,
point-of-sales terminals and other equipment, and approximately $750,000 for the
portion of store inventory that is not financed by accounts payable to vendors.
Pre-opening expenses are expected to average approximately $75,000 for an
OfficeMax superstore, $25,000 for a FurnitureMax store and $35,000 for a CopyMax
store.
In order to finance its operations and capital requirements, including its
expansion strategy, the Company expects to use funds generated from operations
as well as its current cash reserves, and, to the extent necessary, seasonal
short-term borrowings. The Company has available through May 1999 a $100 million
revolving credit facility, of which no borrowings were outstanding as of April
26, 1997.
