Notes to Quarterly Financial Statements
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The quarterly financial statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These
statements should be read together with the statements and the accom-
panying notes included in the Company's 1994 Annual Report.
The quarterly financial statements have not been audited by independent
public accountants, but in the opinion of management, all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the results for the periods have been
included. The net income (loss) for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1995 and 1994, was subject to seasonal variations and neces-
sarily involved estimates and accruals. Except as may be disclosed
within these "Notes to Quarterly Financial Statements," the adjustments
made were of a normal, recurring nature. Quarterly results are not
necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year.
(2) NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE. Net income (loss) per common share
was determined by dividing net income (loss), as adjusted, by appli-
cable shares outstanding. For the three and six months ended June 30,
1994, the computation of fully diluted net loss per share was anti-
dilutive; therefore, the amounts reported for primary and fully diluted
loss were the same.
For the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, primary average shares
included common shares outstanding and, if dilutive, common stock
equivalents attributable to stock options, Series E conversion
preferred stock prior to converting to shares of the Company's common
stock on January 15, 1995, and Series G conversion preferred stock.
Excluded common equivalent shares were 16,714,000 at June 30, 1994. In
addition to common and common equivalent shares, fully diluted average
shares include common shares that would be issuable upon conversion of
the Company's other convertible securities.

Primary income excludes, and the loss includes, the aggregate amount of
dividends on the Company's preferred stock. The dividend attributable
to the Company's Series D convertible preferred stock held by the
Company's ESOP (employee stock ownership plan) is net of a tax benefit.
To determine the fully diluted income (loss), dividends on convertible
preferred stock and interest, net of any applicable taxes, have been
added back to primary income (loss) to reflect assumed conversions. The
fully diluted income was reduced by, and the loss was increased by, the
after-tax amount of additional contributions that the Company would be
required to make to its ESOP if the Series D ESOP preferred shares were
converted to common stock.
(3) INVENTORIES. Inventories include the following:

The estimated tax provision rate for the first six months of 1995,
before the effects of unusual items, was 38.0%, compared with a tax
benefit rate of 34.4% for the same period in the prior year. The change
in the rate is primarily due to increased income from the Company's U.S.
operations. These rates were based on actual year-to-date results and
projected results for the remainder of the year.
(5) DEBT. At June 30, 1995, the Company had a $650 million revolving credit
agreement with a group of banks. There were no borrowings under the
agreement at June 30, 1995. On July 10, 1995, the revolving credit
agreement was amended to extend the termination date from June 30, 1997,
to June 30, 2000, and the aggregate of all commitments that can be
outstanding was reduced from $650 million to $600 million.
(6) SERIES E PREFERRED STOCK. On January 15, 1995, the Company's Series E
preferred stock converted to 8,625,000 shares of common stock.
(7) INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY AFFILIATES. The Company's principal equity
affiliate is Rainy River Forest Products Inc. ("Rainy River"). The
Company has a 59.66% equity interest and a 49% voting interest. Rainy
River is accounted for on the equity method. Other investments include
a 30% interest in Rumford Cogeneration Company Limited Partnership and a
50% interest in the general partnership of Pine City Fiber Company.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Second Quarter of 1995, Compared With Second Quarter of 1994
Boise Cascade Corporation's net income for the second quarter of 1995 was
$105.9 million, compared with a net loss of $19.2 million for the second
quarter of 1994. Primary earnings per common share for the second quarter of
1995 were $1.82, and fully diluted earnings per share were $1.64. For the
same quarter in 1994, primary and fully diluted loss per share was $.86.
Sales for the second quarter of 1995 were $1.3 billion, compared with
$1.0 billion in the second quarter of last year.
In April 1995, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Boise Cascade Office
Products Corporation ("BCOP"), completed the initial public offering of
5,318,750 shares of common stock at a price of $25 per share. After the
offering, the Company owns 82.7% of the outstanding BCOP common stock. The
net proceeds of the offering to BCOP were approximately $123 million, of which
approximately $102 million was indirectly (through retention of accounts
receivable and a small dividend payment) available to the Company for general
corporate purposes. The remainder of the proceeds was retained by BCOP for
its general corporate purposes.
In October 1994, the Company's Canadian subsidiary, Rainy River Forest
Products Inc. ("Rainy River"), completed the sale of units of common stock and
debentures in an initial public offering. Boise Cascade holds approximately
60% of Rainy River's economic equity and 49% of its voting equity. Rainy
River was accounted for on the equity method retroactive to January 1, 1994,
in the Company's consolidated financial statements. In the second quarter of
1995, the Company provided $32.5 million of income taxes, or 53 cents per
fully diluted share, for the tax effect of the difference in the book and tax
bases of its stock ownership in Rainy River.
Also, in the second quarter of 1995, the Company established reserves for the
write-down of certain assets in its paper and paper products segment to their
net realizable value with a pretax charge of $19 million, or 19 cents per
fully diluted share after taxes. The Company also added to its existing
reserves $5 million before taxes, or 5 cents per fully diluted share after
taxes, for environmental and other contingencies.
The net effect of the gain on the sale of BCOP stock, the tax provision for
Rainy River, and the establishment of the above reserves increased net income
$12.6 million and fully diluted earnings per share 21 cents for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1995.
Before considering the $19 million reserve for the write-down of certain
paper-related assets, the Company's paper segment reported operating income of
$151.3 million in the second quarter of 1995. By contrast, paper operations
lost $30.4 million in the second quarter of 1994. This significant improve-
ment was attributable to sharp increases in the price of pulp and paper that
were partially offset by increases in the cost of fiber. The average price
for the grades of pulp and paper produced by the Company rose $323 per ton,
or 69% since the recovery in paper markets began early last year. Between the
second quarter of 1994 and the second quarter of 1995, prices for uncoated
freesheet rose 71%, containerboard rose 58%, newsprint rose 57%, coated rose
60%, and market pulp rose over 100%.
Paper segment manufacturing costs per ton increased considerably between the
comparison quarters. The increase was due in large part to higher fiber costs.
Paper segment sales rose 63% to $659.2 million in the second quarter of 1995
from $404.0 million in the second quarter of 1994. Sales volumes for the
second quarter of 1995 were 742,000 tons, compared with 722,000 tons in the
second quarter of 1994.
Operating income in the office products segment improved in the second quarter
of 1995 to $13.6 million, compared with $10.1 million in the prior-year
quarter. Total sales rose 44% to $305.7 million, compared with $212.3 million
in the second quarter of 1994. The increase was largely the result of
acquisitions and internal expansion. Gross margins declined modestly in the
second quarter of 1995, compared with those of the second quarter of 1994,
because of more competitive pricing, but improved over the first quarter of
1995. Same-location sales increased 31.2%, primarily because of increased
national accounts business and rising paper prices and volume.
Building products operating income declined from $43.9 million for the year-
ago second quarter to $22.8 million. Contributing to the decline in income
was a slowdown in home construction as a result of consumer caution concerning
the future direction of the U.S. economy. The slowdown in construction caused
wood products prices, especially for lumber, to drop. Relative to the year-
ago quarter, average prices for lumber declined 12%, while plywood prices
increased 10%. Unit sales volume for lumber decreased 14%, while plywood
sales volume decreased almost 7%. The segment's results continued to be
enhanced by a contribution from its growing engineered wood products business.
Sales for the building products segment declined 11% to $385.0 million in the
second quarter of 1995 from $432.6 million in the second quarter of 1994.
Building materials distribution sales were down 14%, while income was down
38%.
Interest expense was $35.1 million in the second quarter of 1995, compared
with $36.7 million in the same period last year. The Company's debt is
predominately fixed rate. Consequently, when there are changes in short-term
market interest rates, the Company experiences only modest changes in interest
expense.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1995, Compared With Six Months Ended June 30, 1994
The Company had net income of $163.0 million for the first six months of 1995,
compared with a net loss of $56.8 million for the first six months of 1994.
Primary earnings per common share for 1995 were $2.75, and fully diluted
earnings per common share were $2.49. For the first six months of 1994,
primary and fully diluted loss per common share was $2.21.
Sales for the first six months of 1995 were $2.5 billion, compared with
$1.9 billion for the same period in 1994.
Before considering the $19 million reserve for the write-down of certain
paper-related assets, operating income in the Company's paper and paper
products segment was $249.3 million for the first six months of 1995, compared
with a loss of $83.9 million for the same period in 1994. Average prices for
all of the Company's paper grades increased sharply during the first six
months of 1995, compared with a year ago.
Paper segment manufacturing costs for the first six months were up
considerably from those of the comparison period. The increase was due in
large part to higher fiber costs.
Paper segment sales of $1.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 1995,
were up 56% from $804.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994. Sales
volumes for the first six months of 1995 were 1,481,000 tons, compared with
1,444,000 tons for the first six months of 1994.
Office products segment income for the first six months of 1995 was
$26.2 million, up 25% from the $21.0 million in the first six months of 1994.
Segment sales were up 51% to $609.0 million for the first six months of 1995,
compared with $403.3 million for the first six months of 1994. The
significant improvement was largely the result of acquisitions and internal
expansion. Same location sales increased 27.6%, primarily because of
increased national accounts business and higher paper prices and volume.
Margins decreased modestly as a result of several factors, including
competitive price pressures due in part to expanding existing business,
product mix changes, and significant growth in national accounts.
Operating income for the Company's Building Products segment dropped 41% from
$79 million in the first six months of 1994, to $46.3 million in the first six
months of 1995. The decrease was due to a slow down in home construction as a
result of consumer caution concerning the future direction of the U.S.
economy. Segment sales decreased 6% in the first six months of 1995 to
$778.5 million, compared with sales in the first six months of 1994 of
$827.4 million. Plywood and lumber sales volumes were down 3% and 5%,
compared with those of the same period last year. Building materials
distribution sales were down 14%, while income was down 46%.
Interest expense was $72.3 million for the first six months of 1995, compared
with $71.7 million for the first six months of 1994. The Company's debt is
predominately fixed rate. Consequently, when there are changes in short-term
market interest rates, the Company experiences only modest changes in interest
expense.
Total long- and short-term debt outstanding was $1.7 billion at June 30, 1995
compared with $2.0 billion at December 31, 1994.
Financial Condition
At June 30, 1995, the Company had working capital of $205.8 million. Working
capital was $272.3 million at June 30, 1994, and $260.4 million at
December 31, 1994. Cash provided by operations was $344.7 million for the
first six months of 1995, compared with $81.7 million for the same period in
1994.
The Company's revolving credit agreement requires the Company to maintain a
minimum amount of net worth and not to exceed a maximum ratio of debt to net
worth. The Company's net worth at June 30, 1995, exceeded the defined minimum
amount by $109.9 million. The payment of dividends by the Company is
dependent upon the existence of and the amount of net worth in excess of the
defined minimum under this agreement. The Company is also required to
maintain a defined minimum interest coverage in each successive four-quarter
period, which the Company met at June 30, 1995.
Capital expenditures, including purchases of facilities and related debt
assumption, for the first six months of 1995 and 1994 were $124.7 million and
$95.8 million. Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 1994,
were $271.9 million.
An expanded discussion and analysis of financial condition is presented on
pages 19 and 20 of the Company's 1994 Annual Report under the captions
"Financial Condition" and "Capital Investment."

programs may also take into account the financial performance of the Company's
operating divisions as well as certain nonfinancial performance criteria.

1993 require the Company's shareholders to approve this type of plan in order
to ensure that the Company may continue to fully deduct compensation paid to
the five most highly compensated executive officers under the plan.
