FINANCIAL REVIEW
This financial review covers management's discussion and analysis of financial
condition and operating results. The building materials industry historically
has been subject to substantial cyclical variation. The Company's operations
have reflected fluctuations from period to period as a consequence of various
factors, including general economic conditions, prices of commodity wood
products, levels of building activity, interest rates, the availability of
credit, and weather conditions.
OPERATING RESULTS
The following table sets forth for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, 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 in this
annual report.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1996 OPERATIONS COMPARED WITH 1995
Net sales for 1996 were $718.0 million, an increase of 14% or $87.8 million
from 1995. Increases in new home construction, as well as higher commodity wood
product prices, contributed to a increase of 13.7% for same-store sales. The
strongest year-over-year sales results were from units in Texas, Utah and
Colorado, with Texas reporting 31% higher same-store sales. On an overall basis,
sales prices for the Company's products increased about 3% for the year. This
price increase was primarily due to higher prices for commodity wood products.
Gross profit increased to 22.1% of net sales in 1996 from 21.9% in 1995. This
increase reflects favorable inventory shrinkage results and the ongoing efforts
of the Company to improve margins through its increased focus on value-added
products, such as roof trusses, pre-hung doors, pre-assembled windows, and
increased sales to the service-oriented consumer, all of which traditionally
have higher margins.
During 1996, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of
net sales, decreased to 18.3% in 1996 from 18.5% in 1995. This decrease was due
in part to favorable same-store sales increases and costs reductions associated
with integrating the 14 building materials centers acquired in 1994 and 1995.
Interest expense decreased to $10.5 million in 1996 from $10.7 million in
1995. The decrease was due to a reduction in the Company's outstanding debt with
the proceeds of the common stock offering in the second quarter of 1996.
The provision for income taxes increased 40.8% to $6.9 million in 1996 from
$4.9 million in 1995. The effective income tax rate was 38.7%. The increase in
the provision for income taxes was a result of increased income from
operations.
As a result of the foregoing factors, net income before an extraordinary item
in 1996 increased by $3.2 million or 42% to $11.0 million, or 1.5% of net sales,
as compared to $7.8 million, or 1.2% of net sales, in the prior year.
The Company retired all $20 million of the 10% unsecured senior subordinated
notes and reduced debt outstanding under the revolving credit agreement with the
net proceeds of the recent equity offering. In connection with this retirement,
the Company took a non-cash after-tax extraordinary charge of $342,000 or $.03
per share to write off the related deferred loan costs and unamortized debt
discount.
1995 OPERATIONS COMPARED WITH 1994
Net sales for 1995 were $630.2 million, an increase of 15% or $83.1 million
from 1994. The sales increase reflects $71.1 million attributable to 1995
acquisitions and $52.6 million for a full year of sales for acquisitions made in
1994. Decline in new home construction, as well as lower commodity wood product
prices, contributed to a decrease of $40.6 million, or nearly 8% for same-store
sales. (Excluding price deflation, same-store sales were down 1%). On an overall
basis, sales prices for the Company's products declined about 7%, causing a
reduction in sales of approximately $47.4 million. This decrease was due
primarily to lower prices for commodity wood products, which were approximately
14% lower in 1995 than in 1994.
Gross profit increased to 21.9% of net sales in 1995 from 21.8 % in 1994. This
slight increase reflects the ongoing efforts of the Company to improve margins
through its training programs as well as its increased focus on value-added
products, such as roof trusses, pre-hung doors, pre-assembled windows, and
increased sales to the service-oriented consumer, all of which generally have
higher margins.
During 1995, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of
net sales, increased to 18.5% in 1995 from 16.7% in 1994. This increase was
attributable primarily to costs incurred integrating locations acquired in 1994
and 1995. These costs included, but were not limited to, the conversion of
computerized point-of-sale systems, marketing and sales programs, employee
training and upgrading of equipment and facilities to improve operational
efficiencies.
In March 1995, the Company issued $50.0 million of 9.18% unsecured senior
notes. The proceeds from these notes were used to support the Company's capital
expenditure and acquisition activities and increased working capital levels.
Primarily due to the issuance of these notes, interest expense increased to
$10.7 million in 1995 from $6.5 million in 1994.
Income taxes were provided at an annual effective tax rate
19
of 38.7% in 1995 and 38.0% in 1994, respectively. The increase in the
effective tax rate was the result of the income tax impact of acquisitions in
1993 and 1994.
As a result of the foregoing factors, net income in 1995 decreased by $6.5
million or 45.5% to $7.8 million, or 1.2% of net sales, as compared to $14.3
million, or 2.6% of net sales, in the prior year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary need for capital resources are for acquisitions and
capital expenditures as well as to finance its working capital which has been
increasing as the Company has grown in recent years. In 1996 and recent years,
the Company's capital sources have grown through earnings growth, increased
borrowing capacity and new equity offerings.
The Company had $90.2 million of long-term debt outstanding as of December 31,
1996 consisting principally of $14.1 million of variable rate borrowings under
its revolver and $76.1 million of fixed rate borrowings under various credit
facilities. More details with respect to these borrowings are discussed in Note
3 to the financial statements.
OPERATIONS
The Company generated $16.9 million of cash from operating activities
comprised primarily of net income plus depreciation and amortization charges.
Working capital at year-end 1996 was $110.5 million compared with $100.2 million
at the 1995 year-end. This increase in working capital was driven by increases
in receivables and inventories as a result of four acquisitions in 1996.
CAPITAL INVESTMENT AND ACQUISITIONS
Capital expenditures, exclusive of acquisitions, totaled $14.4 million in
1996. The principal property and equipment expenditures in 1996 included the
completion of the purchase of land at the Issaquah and Lewiston centers,
expansion and replacement of rolling stock and enhancements in the management
information systems.
Cash used for business acquisitions totaled $8.4 million in 1996, as the
Company completed four acquisitions in 1996 involving one building materials
center and three value-added facilities. In 1995, the Company used $36.4 million
in cash to complete two acquisitions involving four building materials centers.
FINANCING
In the second quarter of 1996, the Company sold 2,300,000 shares of common
stock. The proceeds of this offering, less underwriting and other issuance
costs, was approximately $38.5 million. The proceeds were used to retire the
$20 million of 10% unsecured senior subordinated notes and reduce debt
outstanding under the revolving credit agreement.
The borrowings under the revolver decreased to $14.1 million at year-end from
$26.1 million at year-end 1995 primarily due to proceeds of the stock offering.
The various agreements related to long-term borrowings contain financial
covenants and restrictions. These covenants require the Company to maintain
minimum financial measures as well as limiting additional debt, stock
repurchases, dividend payments, capital asset additions, liens on assets and
business combinations. These covenants and restrictions have not materially
hampered the Company's operations. At December 31, 1996, these agreements limit
the amount of dividends payable from retained earnings to $42.1 million of which
$2.7 million may be paid in fiscal year 1996.
Based on its ability to generate cash from operations and the borrowing
capacity at year-end of $70 million under the revolver, the Company believes it
will have sufficient funds to meet its currently anticipated requirements.
QUARTERLY RESULTS AND SEASONALITY
The Company's first and fourth quarters historically are adversely affected by
weather patterns in the Company's markets which result in decreases in levels of
building and construction activity. In addition, quarterly results do reflect,
and are expected in the future to reflect, fluctuation from period to period as
a consequence of the impact of various other factors, including general economic
conditions, consumer confidence, levels of building activity, interest rates and
the availability of credit.
The composition and level of working capital has typically changed with the
level of sales, with the Company requiring additional working capital during
periods of rapidly increasing sales as the Company carries more inventories and
receivables. Working capital levels (receivables and inventories) typically
increase in the second and third quarter of the year due to higher sales during
the peak building and construction season. These increases have historically
resulted in negative operating cash flows during this peak season, which have
been generally financed through the revolver. Collection of receivables and
reduction in inventory levels following the peak of the building and
construction season have more than offset this negative cash flow in recent
years. The Company believes it will continue to generate positive annual cash
flows from operating activities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
BMC West Corporation is a regional distributor and retailer of building
materials in the Western United States, selling primarily to professional
contractors, as well as to advanced, service-oriented consumers. The Company
also conducts value-added conversion activities which include pre-hung doors,
fabricated roof trusses, pre-assembled windows and pre-cut lumber to meet
customer specifications. The Company has 53 building materials centers located
in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Texas,
Utah, and Washington.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period.
NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Net income per common share is determined by dividing net income, after
deducting the accretion of the discount on redeemable preferred stock, by the
weighted average of common and common equivalent shares. The weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares include shares issued, shares
issuable under dilutive stock options and shares contingently issuable in
connection with acquisitions. At December 31, 1996, there were no contingently
issuable shares.
Fully diluted net income per share is not presented as the dilution was not
dilutive in 1996 and 1994 and not significant in 1995.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect temporary differences between
the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities using presently enacted
tax rates and laws.
EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
In 1996, the Company repaid $20 million of 10% unsecured senior subordinated
notes prior to maturity. In connection with this early debt retirement, the
Company wrote off $565,000 of related deferred loan costs and unamortized debt
discount. These write-offs are included in 1996 consolidated statement of income
as an extraordinary item, net of $223,000 tax benefit.
INVENTORIES
Inventories consist principally of merchandise purchased for resale and are
stated at the lower of average cost or market.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Major additions and improvements
are capitalized while maintenance and repairs which do not increase the useful
life of the property are expensed as incurred.
The net book value of property sold or retired is removed from the asset and
related depreciation accounts, and the net gain or loss is included in the
determination of income or loss.
The provision for depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The
estimated useful lives are fifteen to thirty years for buildings and
improvements, seven to ten years for machinery and fixtures and three to seven
years for handling and delivery equipment.
DEFERRED LOAN COSTS
Loan costs are capitalized upon the issuance of long-term debt and amortized
over the life of the related debt using the effective interest rate method.
Interest expense includes amortization of deferred loan costs of $628,000 in
1996, $602,000 in 1995 and $530,000 in 1994.
GOODWILL
Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 30 years. Accumulated
amortization of goodwill is $1,605,000 at December 31, 1996, and $941,000 at
December 31, 1995.
Annually, the Company reviews the recoverability of goodwill. The measurement
of possible impairment is based primarily on the ability to recover the balance
of the goodwill from expected future operating cash flows on an undiscounted
basis. In management's opinion, no such impairment existed at December 31, 1996.
OTHER ASSETS
The majority of other assets consist of non-compete covenants arising from
acquisitions and investments in cooperative supplier organizations. The
non-compete covenants are amortized over the life of related agreements (three
to five years).
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments that had a maturity of three months or less at the date
of purchase to be cash equivalents.

2. ACQUISITIONS
Businesses acquired in 1996, 1995 and 1994 were accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. Under this accounting method, the value of the
consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based
on the estimated fair values at date of acquisition. Any excess of the purchase
price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities
assumed was recorded as goodwill. Operating results of the acquired businesses
are included in the statements of income from date of acquisition.
In 1996, the Company completed four acquisitions involving one building
materials center and three value-added facilities. These operations are located
in Ogden and Orem, Utah; and Austin and San Antonio, Texas. The aggregate
purchase price was $10,138,000 consisting of $8,426,000 cash and the assumption
of notes payable of $1,712,000. The notes payable were paid by the Company prior
to December 31, 1996.
In 1995, the Company completed two acquisitions involving four building
materials centers. These centers are located in Abilene, New Braunfels, and two
in Austin, Texas. The aggregate purchase price for these centers was $36,363,000
consisting entirely of cash.
In 1994, the Company completed eight acquisitions involving ten building
materials centers. These centers are located in Killeen and Hurst, Texas;
Vancouver, Washington; Phoenix, Arizona; Grand Junction, Denver, Greeley, Pueblo
and, Colorado Springs, Colorado; and Kent, Washington. The aggregate purchase
price for these centers was $55,135,000, consisting of $21,515,000 cash,
1,242,133 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $22,955,000 and notes
payable of $10,665,000 and the assumption of certain liabilities. The common
stock issued in connection with certain acquisitions was guaranteed by the
Company to retain a value of between $20 and $25.25 per share by specified
dates. In 1996 and 1995, shares issued in connection with prior year
acquisitions totaled 17,594 and 364,975, respectively.
The following summarized unaudited pro forma results of operations assume the
acquisitions occurred as of the beginning of their respective acquisition year
and the immediately proceeding year. The pro forma data has been prepared for
comparative purposes only. It does not purport to be indicative of the results
of operations that would have resulted had the acquisitions been consummated at
the beginning of the years presented, or that may occur in the future.

In 1996, the Company redeemed the 10% unsecured senior subordinated notes with
the net proceeds of the Company's equity offering.
The Company's borrowing capacity under the revolving credit agreement is
$70,000,000, limited by eligible receivables and inventories. The agreement's
expiration date is 2000. Interest is due monthly at prime or LIBOR plus 1.25% -
1.50%. A fee of .25% - .375% per annum is charged on the unused portion of the
loan commitment. At year-end, the Company had $55,920,000 of unborrowed capacity
under this agreement.
The 8.10% unsecured senior notes issued in 1993 require annual principal
payments beginning in 1998 through 2000. The notes may be redeemed, in whole or
in part, at the option of the Company, at anytime at the principal amount plus
accrued interest and a make-whole payment. The make-whole payment is due only if
the interest rate (as measured by agreement with the creditor) at the date of
redemption is less than 8.10%. Interest is payable semi-annually on April 30 and
October 31. In connection with the extension of the revolving credit agreement,
the collateral for the 8.10% senior notes was eliminated in March 1995.
26
The 9.18% unsecured senior notes issued in 1995 are due in 2006. The notes
require annual principal payments beginning in 2001 through 2006. The notes may
be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at anytime, at
the principal amount plus accrued interest and a make-whole payment. The
make-whole payment is due only if the interest rate (as measured by agreement
with the creditor) at the date of redemption is less than 9.18%. Interest is
payable semi-annually on April 30 and October 31.
The scheduled principal payments of long-term debt are $568,000 in 1997,
$22,975,000 in 1998, $8,895,000 in 1999, $8,333,000 in 2000, $8,333,000 in 2001
and $41,667,000 thereafter.
The agreements related to the above borrowings contain financial covenants and
restrictions which require the Company to maintain a minimum net worth, debt-
service coverage, debt-to-equity ratio and current ratio, as well as limiting
additional debt, stock repurchases, dividend payments, capital asset additions
and retirements, liens on assets, stock ownership changes and business
combinations. Currently, $42,087,000 of retained earnings is available for the
payment of common dividends under these agreements of which a maximum of
$2,662,000 may be paid in 1997.
4. CLASS B PREFERRED STOCK
In 1987, the Company authorized and issued 50,000 shares of Class B preferred
stock with a total mandatory redemption requirement of $5,000,000, due
$1,000,000 annually through 1996 and $2,000,000 in 1997. As of December 31,
1996, 20,000 shares of Class B preferred stock remain outstanding.
Class B preferred stock has a preference in liquidation of $100 per share,
$2,000,000 in the aggregate at December 31, 1996. The difference between the
carrying value of the preferred stock and its redemption value is being added to
the preferred stock account ratably to 1997 through a charge to retained
earnings.

6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
PUBLIC STOCK OFFERING
In the second quarter of 1996, the Company issued 2,300,000 shares of common
stock at $18.00 per share. The proceeds from this offering, less underwriting
and other issuance costs, of $38.5 million were used principally to reduce debt.
STOCK SPLIT
In February 1994, the Company declared a three-for-two stock split, effected
in the form of a stock dividend, paid March 4, 1994 to shareholders of record as
of February 25, 1994. All per share amounts and weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares presented in this report reflect the effect
of the stock split. The stock split has been reflected as a 1993 transaction in
the statement of stockholders' equity.
SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS PLAN
Under the shareholder rights plan adopted in July 1993, holders of common
stock received a distribution of one right to purchase common stock for each
common share held. The rights will generally become exercisable ten days after a
person or group acquires 15% of the Company's outstanding voting securities or
ten business days after a person or group commences or announces an intention to
commence a tender or exchange offer that could result in the acquisition of 15%
of these securities. Ten days after a person acquires 15% or more of the
Company's outstanding voting securities (unless this time period is extended by
the board of directors) each right would, subject to certain adjustments and
alternatives, entitle the rightholder to purchase common stock of the Company or
the acquiring company having a market value of twice the $33.33 exercise price
of the right (except that the acquiring person or group and other related
holders would not be able to purchase common stock of the company on these
terms). The rights are nonvoting, expire in 2003 and may be redeemed by the
Company at a price of two-thirds of a cent per right at any time prior to the
tenth day after an individual or group acquired 15% of the Company's voting
stock, unless extended. Additional details are set forth in the Rights Plan
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 3, 1993.
STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company has four stock option plans, the 1991 Senior Shareholders
Management and Field Management Plan, and 1992 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan,
the 1993 Employee Stock Option Plan and the 1993 Non-Employee Stock Option Plan
(the Stock Option Plans). A total of 990,000 shares of common stock have been
reserved for potential grants under the Stock Option Plans. The Company accounts
for these plans under APB Opinion No. 25. Under this opinion, the only
compensation cost recognized is for options granted at an exercise price below
the options fair market value on the date the option is granted.
Had compensation cost for these plans been determined consistent with SFAS
Statement No. 123, the Company's pro forma 1996 net income would have been
reduced by $204,000 and pro forma earnings per share would have been reduced by
$.02. The 1995 pro forma impact was not material to the Company's net income.
Because SFAS Statement No. 123 method of accounting has not been applied to
options granted prior to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation
cost may not be representative of that to be expected in future years.
The 1991 Senior Shareholders Management and Field Management Plan provides for
the granting of options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at
exercise prices below fair market value. The difference is being recognized
ratably over the vesting period as compensation expense and was $68,000 in 1996,
$213,000 in 1995 and $216,000 in 1994. At December 31, 1996, options to purchase
222,887 remain outstanding that were granted at less than fair market value.
The 1992 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan and the 1993 Employee Stock Option
Plan provides for the granting of options, at the discretion of the Board of
Directors, to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. The exercise price
is equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date the
options were granted. Options vest over five years and expire at the end of ten
years if unexercised.
The 1993 Non-Employee Stock Option Plan is available only to nonemployee
directors. Options granted under this plan are equal to the fair market value of
the Company's common stock on the date the options were granted. The options are
exercisable one year following the date of grant and expire at the end of ten
years if unexercised.

Beginning in 1995, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted average assumptions used for grants in 1996 and 1995 risk-free interest
rates of 6.2% and 6.8%; estimated life of 5.7 years for both years; and expected
stock price volatility of 41.2% and 44.4%.
7. RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company has a Savings and Retirement Plan for its salaried and certain of
its hourly employees whereby the eligible employees may contribute a percentage
of their salaries to a trust, i.e. a 401(k) plan. The Company also makes
contributions to the trust based on a percentage of the contributions made by
the participating employees. The Company's contributions are charged against
operations and were $826,000 in 1996, $703,000 in 1995, and $544,000 in 1994.
In 1993, the Company established a supplemental retirement plan for selected
key management employees and directors. The cost is based on the Company
achieving certain operating earnings levels. The Company charged operations for
$313,000 in 1996, $414,000 in 1995, and $597,000 in 1994 pursuant to this plan.
In 1994, the Company purchased company-owned life insurance on the participants
in order to have a funding mechanism for this Plan. Retirement payments will be
paid to the participants or their beneficiary over a 15-year period subsequent
to retirement or death.
The Company does not provide any other postretirement benefits for its
employees.
8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company pays a management fee to MDC Management Company (MDC), the general
partner of the Chairman of the Board of Directors. These management fees were
$100,000 in 1996, $155,000 in 1995, and $195,000 in 1994.
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
OPERATING LEASES
The Company leases real property, vehicles and office equipment under
operating leases. Rental expense was $4,162,000 in 1996, $3,871,000 in 1995, and
$2,496,000 in 1994. Certain of the leases are noncancellable and have minimum
lease payment requirements of $2,246,000 in 1997, $1,442,000 in 1998, $1,019,000
in 1999 and $798,000 in 2000 and $532,000 in 2001.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is involved in litigation and other legal matters arising in the
normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company's recovery
or liability, if any, under any of these matters will not have a material effect
on the Company's financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Company sells building materials, primarily to professional contractors,
as well as to advanced, service oriented consumers through its 53 building
materials centers located in ten western states. No one customer exceeds 2% of
net sales. Because the customers are disbursed amongst the Company's various
markets, the Company's credit risk to any one customer or state economy is not
considered significant. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
customers and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts.

BMC WEST CORPORATION
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To BMC West Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of BMC West Corporation (a
Delaware corporation) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows each of the three
years ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of BMC West Corporation as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and cash flows for
each of the three years ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
