BUSINESS

Building Materials Holding Corporation (BMHC) is a Nasdaq-traded holding company
headquartered in San Francisco, California. We specialize in providing
value-added services and high-quality building materials products to the
residential construction market. Our operating subsidiaries include BMC West
Corporation ("BMC West") and BMC Framing Inc. ("Framing"), with 137 facilities
organized into 56 business units. BMC Framing holds a 49% equity interest in
Knipp Brothers Industries, LLC, and KB Industries Limited Partnership,
leading framing contractors operating in Arizona, California and Nevada.

In recent years we have increased our sales of higher margin value-added
products. As a result, our gross margins have increased each year since 1992. We
fabricate roof and floor trusses, purchase and pre-assemble doors and millwork
and select and distribute pre-assembled windows, each of which we customize to,
or select based on, customer specifications. Through our interest in Framing we
participate in the framing market, and with our acquisition of Roland
Manufacturing Corporation ("Royal Door") we participate in the assembly and
installation of pre-hung doors and millwork in multi-family and light commercial
projects. Our offering of value-added products and services both augments our
ability to supply contractors and builders with a full range of their building
materials needs and reduces our sensitivity to commodity wood product prices.

BMHC targets primarily professional contractors and builders engaged in
residential construction and, to a lesser extent, light commercial and
industrial construction. We focus on developing and maintaining strong
relationships with regional and local contractors, developers, builders,
architects and engineers. Professional contractors and builders generally are
high-volume, repeat customers who require on-time job site delivery, volume
purchasing, trade credit and other specialized services typically not offered by
large home center retailers. We, therefore, do not compete directly against
do-it-yourself retailers, such as Home Depot and Lowe's, who do not offer the
broad range of services that we provide, and who generally sell in smaller
quantities and are focused on the retail consumer. We also target the repair and
remodel market that consists of consumers and contractors involved in major home
improvement projects.

2



Our 137 facilities offer products and services that are designed to meet the
needs of professional contractors and builders. In addition, each of our
business units tailor its product and service mix to meet the demands of its
local market. Our products include the following:

- - lumber and panel products - pre-assembled windows
- - pre-hung doors and millwork - roofing materials
- - roof and floor trusses and wall panels - cabinets

- engineered wood products
- paint
- hardware

We believe that our focus on service is a key factor that distinguishes us from
many of our competitors. We have developed a variety of specialty services in
order to help our customers build high quality and cost effective projects. We
employ highly experienced, service-oriented sales people who advise contractors
at their job sites and offices or at our facilities. As a result of our enhanced
product knowledge and training, our sales people are often sought out by our
customers for design and product recommendations, instruction and job site
assistance. Our high quality service, together with our contractor-focused
product offerings, have allowed our sales staff of approximately 750 employees
to develop long-term relationships with local professional contractors and
builders and to generate a large volume of repeat and referral business.

Our specialty services focus on professional contractors and builders and
typically are not offered by large home center retailers. These services
include:

o advice regarding project designs and materials specifications, such as the
use of pre-engineered wood products to reduce total building costs;

o accurate estimates of materials costs on which contractors can base bids;

o just-in-time delivery of complete home framing packages to job sites;

o provision of trade credit to pre-approved contractors;

o referral of customers to pre-qualified contractors;

o monitoring and evaluating innovations in product design in order to
provide customers with information and instruction;

o use of design and engineering software to ensure our products will fit
precisely into a constructed building; and

o installation of windows, doors and insulation in some local markets.


INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Building materials distributors generally concentrate on serving either
professional contractors and builders or price-oriented retail consumers.
Contractor-oriented building materials distributors, like us, tend to focus on
building contractors and project-oriented consumers and they compete principally
on the basis of:

o service

o product quality and availability

o on-time delivery

o credit availability

o price

Home center retailers, on the other hand, target the mass consumer market, in
which competition is based principally on price, merchandising and location
advertising. Typically, contractor-

3



oriented distributors offer a greater range of services and a range of high
quality building products more specifically targeted towards professional
building contractors than home center retailers. Customer loyalty is a key
attribute of the contractor-oriented building materials industry because
professional contractors and builders typically use the same building materials
suppliers for most of their projects.

The contractor-oriented building materials distribution industry is
characterized by a large number of privately owned, small, regional distribution
companies and single-site enterprises. These businesses are typically family
run, relationship-based operations. Many of these businesses do not possess
sophisticated working capital management and control systems and generally lack
the purchasing expertise of a large entity, such as BMHC.

The building materials distribution industry is linked to the economic cycles
and seasonality associated with the home building industry. Construction
expenditures are largely a function of new residential, commercial and
industrial building demand and repair and remodeling projects undertaken.
Residential construction is closely linked to new job formation, household
formation, interest rates, housing affordability, availability of mortgage
financing, regional demographics and consumer confidence. Commercial
construction is significantly affected by vacancy and absorption rates, interest
rates, long-term regional economic outlooks and the availability of financing.
Industrial construction expenditures are linked to the industrial economic
outlook, corporate profitability, interest rates and capacity utilization. In
difficult economic environments, repair and remodeling expenditures generally
represent a greater percentage of housing construction expenditures as new
housing starts decline. BMHC centers target participants in all of these
sectors, although economic conditions frequently dictate which sector it may
emphasize at a given time.

GEOGRAPHIC MARKETS

We believe that we are well positioned in some of the most attractive markets
for building materials in the United States. Population and migration trends in
the Western markets served by us, as well as the relative strength of many of
the local economies we serve, have resulted in the growth of residential housing
in these markets.


OPERATING STRATEGY

Our strategic plan is to continue to increase sales of value-added products as a
percentage of total sales and reduce sales of commodity wood products as a
percentage of total sales. We plan to continue to expand the availability of our
company-fabricated or pre-assembled products to every business unit in which
market demand justifies the expansion. We also continually evaluate the
introduction of new value-added products, as exemplified by our addition of
framing to our value-added product offering through our equity interest held by
Framing. Local managers have introduced such specialty services as window, door,
wall panel and insulation installation to meet local customers' needs. The
installation of our products by our employees tends to allow professional
contractors or builders to reduce their on-site labor costs. We will continue to
expand these and other specialty services where appropriate.

4



We grant our local managers substantial autonomy and responsibility to best
address customer needs in their markets. A distributor's reputation is often
determined at the local level, where product availability and knowledgeable
customer service are critical. Our local managers are responsible for optimizing
business activities in their markets, including managing local sales personnel,
configuring and maintaining local inventory levels, identifying potential
customers for targeted marketing efforts and developing local service and
product options. Our compensation system for local managers has significant
incentive features based on local earnings and efficient working capital
management at the local level. We seek to expand our sales by capitalizing on
our reputation for quality and dependability with our existing customers, who
view us as the provider of choice in their respective markets, to attract new
customers and to increase our sales to existing customers.

Our total quality management program defines quality as providing the best
products and services at the right place at the right time. The program provides
an environment to encourage employees to identify cost reduction and margin
improvement opportunities, empowers employees to make significant contributions
and work together as a team, and measures our performance and follow-through on
improvement efforts.

We focus on improving efficiency and productivity at all facilities with special
attention and support to certain of the facilities that we believe are
under-performing. We seek to anticipate changes in each local market by
adjusting the inventory product mix and services for the professional
contractors, builders and project-oriented consumers and the contractors hired
by them. Such adjustments may have some minor impact on margins as we adjust
inventories. We are also exploring alternatives for under-performing facilities
including consolidation and liquidation of real property. We also are focusing
on building new facilities within markets where we have a presence.

ACQUISITION STRATEGY

We use a disciplined approach towards acquiring leading value-added and
contractor supplier facilities in both existing and new markets. We look for
acquisitions that will complement our existing markets, provide geographic
diversification, possibly outside of our current focus on the western U.S., or
enhance our value-added product capabilities. The acquisitions must also possess
an established customer base of professional contractors and builders and a
quality management team. We evaluate potential acquisitions based on their
ability to meet our prescribed return criteria and to provide operating
efficiencies by leveraging our existing infrastructure. We have found that our
positive reputation in our industry often leads business owners to approach us
directly when they are ready to sell. We intend to continue to pursue our
consolidation strategy and believe that the highly fragmented nature of the
building materials industry will provide us with a number of attractive
acquisition opportunities.

While we evaluate each potential acquisition candidate on its individual merits,
our primary objective has been to acquire profitable facilities that meet
certain general financial criteria. Additional factors include the reputation of
the business among local contractors and the quality of the business's
management and sales organization.

5



Typically, after the acquisition of a facility, the Company implements our
accounting and management systems into each newly acquired center. These systems
assist in the effective management of inventories and accounts receivable and in
the efforts to improve customer service.

In 2000, we completed the acquisition of Alberta Sales, a millwork facility that
was consolidated into the Company's existing Carson Valley location, and the
acquisition from Frontier Wholesale Company of four-warehouse distribution
centers along with several sales offices doing business as Marvin Windows
Planning Center. The following chart sets forth the number of units acquired or
opened and consolidated during each of the last two fiscal years.

------------- -------------

Beginning number of business units 53 58
Acquisitions and DeNovo 4 4
Consolidations and Closures (1) (9)

==== ===


We plan to continue to acquire complementary businesses. Although, we continue
to engage in discussions with potential acquisition candidates, we may not be
able to continue to identify and complete successful acquisitions in the future.


PRODUCTS

Our principal products mix varies by business unit and includes lumber, panel
products, engineered wood products, roofing materials, pre-hung doors and
millwork, roof and floor trusses, pre-assembled windows, cabinets, hardware,
paint and tools. In addition to distributing such products, we conduct
value-added activities, which include fabricating pre-hung doors, roof and floor
trusses, pre-assembled windows, insulation installation and pre-cutting lumber
to meet customer specifications.

The following table sets forth information regarding the percentage of net sales
represented by the specified categories of products sold at our facilities
during each of the last two fiscal years. While we believe that the percentages
included in the table generally indicate the mix of our sales by category of
product, the specific percentages are affected year-to-year by changes in the
prices of commodity wood products, as well as changes in unit volumes sold.

CATEGORY OF PRODUCT 2000 1999
- ------------------- ---- ----
Wood products (lumber and panel products) 41% 44%
Value-added (pre-hung doors and millwork, roof and
floor trusses, windows, installation & moldings) 40 35
Building materials (roofing, siding, engineered wood
products, insulation and steel products) 12 14
Other (paint, hardware, tools, electrical and plumbing) 7 7
--- ---
100% 100%
=== ===

We fabricate roof and floor trusses and pre-hung door units and pre-assembled
window units for the residential and light commercial building markets. Door
units are purchased and pre-assembled to contractor specifications using a
variety of moldings. The door, truss and window product lines are particularly
attractive since they generally bring higher margins, have less price
volatility, and are not offered by many centers or home center retailers. We
believe that our ability to provide pre-hung doors, millwork, roof and floor
trusses and pre-assembled windows in a number of locations is a competitive
advantage when soliciting business from contractors. Inventories of door units,
roof and floor trusses and pre-assembled windows are usually built-to-order.

Our customers generally order products, including pre-hung doors, millwork, roof
and floor trusses, and pre-assembled windows on an as-needed basis. Therefore,
virtually all product shipments in a given fiscal quarter result from orders
received in that quarter. Consequently, order backlog represents only a very
small percentage of the product sales anticipated in a given fiscal quarter and
is not indicative of actual sales for any future fiscal period.

As a provider of building materials and products, we regularly monitor
innovations in product design to meet our customers' needs. We test markets for
products that substitute for dimensional lumber and have for a number of years
distributed alternative products such as engineered wood products and
TimberStrand LSL studs, and have provided our builder customers information and
instruction on the use of such products.


SALES AND MARKETING

Each of our 56 business units tailors its product and service mix to the local
market and operates as a separate profit center. We reach our professional
contractor customers mainly through field sales representatives, advertisements
in trade journals and local promotional events.

CUSTOMERS

The Company's business is comprised of three major customer groups: new housing
contractors and builders, commercial and industrial contractors and repair and
remodel contractors. No one customer accounts for more than 2% of total sales.

7



PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTOR AND BUILDER MARKET

In 2000, sales to these professional contractors and builders accounted for
approximately 85% of net sales (this total includes 80% to new residential
contractors and 5% to commercial and industrial contractors). This compares
with 82% of net sales in 1999 (this total included 76% to new residential
contractors and 6% to commercial and industrial contractors). A significant
amount of this business consisted of sales of complete house packages,
including framing lumber, panel products, pre-hung doors and trim packages,
roof and floor trusses, pre-assembled windows and other products required
to construct or improve a home.

We provide a wide range of customer services to contractors to meet their
needs for trade credit, delivery and expert assistance. While pricing is an
important purchasing criterion for these customers, we believe that other
factors such as coordinated, on-time deliveries, quality and availability
of products, relationships with salespeople, credit availability and
technical support are equally important. We believe that our skills in
these areas are important competitive advantages.

Our principal channel for reaching the professional contractor and builder
market is a sales force of approximately 400 field sales representatives
supported by approximately 350 inside salespeople. Field sales
representatives actively solicit business and work with the inside
salespeople and managers to develop bids for contractor projects. We
provide sales training for all sales representatives, and sales management
training for all sales managers and center managers. Sales representatives
are compensated through a combination of salary and commission based on
individual sales volume and gross margin.

Our center managers ensure that building materials are delivered according
to contractor specifications and schedules. Technical personnel involved in
purchasing, dispatching, invoicing and credit, support both field sales
force and center managers to enhance customer satisfaction.

REPAIR AND REMODEL MARKET

This customer group consists generally of project-oriented contractors
(including professional repair and remodel contractors hired by them). In
2000, sales to these contractors accounted for approximately 15% of net
sales compared to 17% of net sales in 1999. Our sales to this market
generally carry higher margins than sales to the professional contractor
market. The volume of sales to this market varies depending on location. We
actively pursue repair and remodel business in smaller markets.

CREDIT

Overall credit policy for sales to contractors is established by corporate
management, but each facility has responsibility for overseeing local accounts.
The managers and their staff are trained to have a thorough understanding of
state lien laws, which provide security for accounts receivable. Our credit
policies, together with daily monitoring of customer balances, have resulted

8



in average bad debt expense of approximately 0.18% of net sales during the last
five years, with no single year exceeding 0.21%. We believe that our bad debt
expense levels are among the lowest in the industry. Approximately 94% of our
sales in 2000 were made to customers to whom we had extended credit for such
sales.


MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Our financial information, operational data and other related statistical
information are processed and maintained at BMC West's accounting center in
Boise, Idaho on a network of server computers and work stations. Our financial
reporting and relational database system was designed and customized for us by
Oracle Corporation. The flexible nature of our installed network allows for the
accumulation, processing and distribution of information using industry standard
computing resources and programs. The point-of-sale information systems we use
operate on computers located at each facility, and are connected to the
computers at the accounting center via a high-speed frame relay network. These
on-line systems provide real-time pricing, inventory availability and margin
analysis. This allows each sales staff to offer a high level of customer
service, while giving management the ability to access and use timely
information to monitor operations. We believe that these systems also have
enabled us to enhance profit margins, improve inventory turnover through
identification and elimination of low-turnover items, accelerate analysis of
sales trends, and better monitor accounts receivable, employee productivity,
customer credit limits and lien protections.

PURCHASING

We purchase merchandise from a large number of manufacturers and suppliers. In
2000, our largest supplier accounted for approximately 9% of our total
purchases. We do not believe that the loss of any single supplier would have a
material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or
cash flows.

We purchase inventory on a centralized basis in order to capitalize on economies
of scale, although a limited amount of purchasing and ordering is controlled at
individual facilities in order to respond to local needs. Ordering is controlled
at the facility level in order to maintain local product needs and inventory
turns. Although we seek to time purchases to take advantage of price movements,
we do not speculate in the commodity wood products market.

Approximately 41% of our 2000 sales were attributable to commodity wood
products. Prices of commodity wood products are subject to significant
volatility and directly affect sales. Commodity wood product prices were down
16.3% in 2000 over 1999. This is the lowest prices have been in eight years and
we expect prices to remain at this level through 2001. We have established
purchasing and pricing procedures to reduce exposure to inventory write-downs.
Our commodity buyers monitor inventory and sales levels in each facility on a
regular basis. With this supply and demand information, buyers generally can
avoid overstocking commodity wood products. As a result, we turn our commodity
product inventory approximately 10 to 12 times per year. Such rapid inventory
turnover limits our potential exposure to inventory loss from


9



commodity price fluctuations. In addition, our real-time computer network allows
the building materials facilities to adjust sales prices as purchase prices of
commodity products change.

We entered into a merchandise supply agreement with TruServe for hardline
products, which include builders hardware, tools, paint and sub-floor adhesives.
Under the agreement, we terminated existing affiliations with other
distributors.

COMPETITION

We operate in a highly competitive environment. Due to the nature of the
industry, the competitive environment varies by facility and by market.

Within the professional contractor and builder market, we compete primarily with
privately owned, single-site enterprises and local and regional building
materials chains. Professional contractors and builders generally select
building materials suppliers on the basis of availability of knowledgeable
personnel, on-time delivery, reliable inventory levels, availability of credit
and competitive pricing. We compete favorably on each of these bases. Our
relatively large size also permits us to attract experienced and professional
sales and service personnel and provides us the resources to offer Company-wide
product and service training programs. By working closely with our contractor
customers and utilizing our real-time management information system, our centers
maintain appropriate inventory levels and are well positioned to deliver
completed orders on time to individual job sites.

Within the repair and remodel market, we compete primarily with local
lumberyards and hardware stores and, in certain of its markets, with larger home
center chains such as Home Depot and Lowe's. We believe we meet the needs of
project-oriented consumers and repair and remodel contractors more effectively
than such competitors by (i) providing primarily higher quality products within
each category, (ii) offering consumers and contractors access to our
knowledgeable staff and (iii) developing contractor referral programs to address
the requirements of consumers on larger projects.

EMPLOYEES

Our success is highly dependent on the quality of our personnel at all levels.
We are facing increased competition in attracting and retaining qualified
employees. As a result, we maintain well rounded and competitive compensation
and fringe benefit programs to attract, motivate and retain top performing
individuals. In addition, we provide extensive product knowledge, customer
service, supervisory and managerial training programs to assure employee and
customer satisfaction.

10



At December 31, 2000, we employed approximately 4,400 persons, of which
approximately 318 were represented by unions. We have not experienced any
strikes or other work interruptions and have maintained generally favorable
relations with our employees. The following table shows the approximate
breakdown by job function of our employees:


Officers, corporate and unit management, and
corporate and unit administrative 14%
Delivery (truck drivers, load builders, yard) 32%
Manufacturing (truss, door, window, framing) 31%
Field sales force (outside/inside sales) 17%
Retail operations (cashiers/receiving/sales support) 6%

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders of Building Materials Holding Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of income, shareholders'
equity and cash flows of Building Materials Holding Corporation (a Delaware
corporation) and subsidiary for the year ended December 31, 1998. 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 audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of Building
Materials Holding Corporation and subsidiary for the year ended December 31,
1998 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.

to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or
the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the
Registrant's financial statements, and neither a written
report was provided to the Registrant or oral advice was
provided that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP concluded was an
important factor considered by the Registrant in reaching a
decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting
issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a
disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of
