        BOISE CASCADE OFFICE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (unaudited)


(1)   ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION.  Boise Cascade Office
      Products Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, "the Company")
      was operated as the Boise Cascade Office Products Distribution
      Division ("the Division") of Boise Cascade Corporation ("BCC") prior
      to April 1, 1995.  Effective on that date, pursuant to an Asset
      Transfer and Subscription Agreement between the Company and BCC, BCC
      transferred to the Company (the "Transfer of Assets") substantially
      all of the assets and liabilities associated with the Division, other
      than $100 million of accounts receivable, in exchange for common
      stock of the Company.  After the transfer, BCC holds a total of
      50,750,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  The accompanying
      historical consolidated income statements include the consolidated
      results of operations of the Division.

      The quarterly financial statements of the Company and its
      subsidiaries 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. 
      Except as may be disclosed in the notes to the 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.  The 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 quarterly
      financial statements should be read together with the statements and
      the accompanying notes included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report.

(2)   PUBLIC OFFERINGS.  On April 13, 1995, the Company completed the sale
      of 10,637,500 shares of common stock at a price of $12.50 per share
      in an initial public offering in the United States and in a
      concurrent international offering ("the Offerings").  After the
      Offerings, BCC owned 82.7% of the Company's outstanding common stock. 
      The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $123.1 million.  A
      total of $100 million of such net proceeds was used by the Company to
      replace the working capital retained by BCC in the Transfer of
      Assets.  Of the remaining proceeds, $21.2 million was retained by the
      Company and was available for general corporate purposes, and
      $1.9 million was paid as a dividend to BCC.

(3)   EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE.  Actual earnings per common share of $.22
      and $.47 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, are based
      upon the average number of common shares outstanding, including
      common shares issued to effect acquisitions made by the Company and
      shares issued as a result of stock options exercised.  The unaudited  
      pro forma earnings per common share of $.13 and $.26 for the three
      and six months ended June 30, 1995, are presented assuming the
      50,750,000 common shares issued to BCC in the organization of the
      Company and the 10,637,500 common shares issued in the Offerings were
      issued on January 1, 1995.  

(3)   STOCK SPLIT.  The Company effected a two-for-one split of the
      Company's common stock in the form of a 100% stock dividend.  Each
      shareholder of record at the close of business on May 6, 1996,
      received one additional share for each share held on that date.  The
      new shares were distributed on May 20, 1996.  All references in these
      financial statements to share amounts, net income per share, and
      average common shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the
      stock split.

(4)   DEBT.  At June 30, 1996, the Company had a $350 million revolving
      credit agreement with a group of banks.  Borrowing under this
      agreement was $100 million.  On June 5, 1996, the revolving credit
      agreement was amended to extend the termination date from June 30,
      1999, to June 30, 2001, and the aggregate of all commitments that can
      be outstanding was increased from $225 million to $350 million.  At
      June 30, 1996, the Company had $24 million of short-term borrowings.

(5)   TAXES.  The estimated tax provision rate for the first six months of
      1996 was 41.0% compared with a tax provision rate of 38.5% for the
      same period in the prior year.  The increase is primarily due to the
      amortization of goodwill arising from certain acquisitions that is
      not deductible for tax purposes.

(6)   ACQUISITIONS.  During the first six months of 1996, the Company
      completed seven acquisitions which were accounted for under the
      purchase method of accounting.  Accordingly, the purchase prices were
      allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon
      their estimated fair values.  The initial purchase price allocations
      may be adjusted within one year of the date of purchase for changes
      in estimates of the fair values of assets and liabilities.  Such
      adjustments are not expected to be significant to results of
      operations or the financial position of the Company.  The excess of
      the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets
      acquired was recorded as goodwill and is being amortized over
      40 years.  The results of operations of the acquired businesses are
      included in the Company's operations subsequent to the dates of
      acquisition.

      On February 5, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of
      the shares of Grand & Toy Limited (Grand & Toy) from Cara Operations
      Limited (Toronto).  The negotiated purchase price was approximately
      C$140 million.  In addition, the Company recorded liabilities of
      approximately US$7.4 million, which are included in the recorded
      purchase price of Grand & Toy, to modify activities such as
      distribution, marketing, and other functions.  Further adjustments to
      the preliminary allocation of the purchase price may be made within
      one year of the acquisition date.  The acquisition was funded
      primarily from borrowings under the Company's revolving credit
      agreement.  Grand & Toy owns and operates six office products
      distribution centers and approximately 80 retail stores across
      Canada.

      On January 31, 1996, the Company acquired the assets of the contract
      stationer business of Sierra Vista Office Products, Inc., based in
      Albuquerque, New Mexico.  On February 9, 1996, the Company acquired
      the stock of the contract stationer businesses of Loring, Short &
      Harmon, Inc., based in Portland, Maine, and McAuliffe's based in
      Burlington, Vermont.  On March 29, 1996, the Company acquired the
      stock of the contract stationer and office furniture business of
      Office Essentials based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  On April 26, 1996,
      the Company acquired the assets of the contract stationer business of
      Crawford's Office Supplies based in Seattle, Washington. On May 31,
      1996, the Company acquired the stock of the contract stationer
      business of Zemlick Brothers, Inc., based in Kalamazoo, Michigan. 
      These acquisitions, including Grand & Toy, were purchased for 
      cash of $130.9 million, $1.6 million of the Company's common stock 
      issued to the sellers, and the recording of $19.3 million of 
      liabilities.  

      Unaudited pro forma results of operations, reflecting these
      acquisitions, would have been as follows.  If these businesses had
      been acquired on January 1, 1996, sales for the first six months of
      1996 would have increased to $956 million.  There would have been no
      change to net income and earnings per common share.  If these
      businesses had been acquired on January 1, 1995, the Company's sales
      for the first six months of 1995 would have increased to
      $744 million, net income would have decreased to $13 million, and
      earnings per common share would have decreased to $.21.  In the first
      quarter of 1995, Grand & Toy recorded a restructuring charge. 
      Excluding the impact of this restructuring charge, pro forma net
      income and earnings per share would have been essentially the same as
      the historical amounts reported for the six months ended June 30,
      1995.  This unaudited pro forma financial information does not
      necessarily represent the actual consolidated results of operations
      that would have resulted if the acquisitions had occurred on the
      dates assumed.

      In the second quarter of 1996, the Company also started up office
      products distribution centers in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Miami,
      Florida.  On July 1, 1996, the Company acquired the contract
      stationer business of Pedersen Contact based in Melbourne, Australia. 
      At the time of announcement of this acquisition, annualized sales
      were approximately US$49 million.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Second Quarter of 1996, Compared with Second Quarter of 1995

Results of Operations

Net sales in the second quarter of 1996 increased 51% to $460.8 million,
compared with $305.7 million in the second quarter of 1995.  The growth in
sales resulted from increased national account business, continued growth
in direct marketing, product line extensions, and acquisitions.  Excluding
the effect of acquisitions since March 31, 1995, sales increased 10% in the
second quarter of 1996 compared with sales in the second quarter of 1995. 

Cost of goods sold, which includes the cost of merchandise sold and
delivery and occupancy costs, increased to $337.4 million in the second
quarter of 1996, which was 73.2% of net sales.  This compares with
$230.1 million reported in the same period of the prior year, which
represented 75.3% of net sales.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales
was 26.8% and 24.7% for the second quarters of 1996 and 1995.  The increase
in operating margins was due primarily to improved margins on office
papers.

Operating expense was 21.3% of net sales in the second quarter of 1996,
compared with 20.6% in the second quarter of 1995.  Within the operating
expense category, selling and warehouse operating expense was 19.3% of net
sales in the second quarter of 1996, compared with 18.3% in the second
quarter of 1995.  This increase was due in part to the Company's direct-
mail and international operations, which have both higher gross margins and
higher operating expenses.  These operations represented a larger portion
of the Company's overall sales in the second quarter of 1996.  Corporate
general and administrative expense declined to 1.7% of second quarter 1996
net sales from 2.1% of second quarter 1995 net sales.

As a result of the above factors, income from operations in the second
quarter of 1996 increased to $25.0 million compared to the Company's second
quarter 1995 operating income, which was $12.7 million.  Net income in the
second quarter of 1996 increased 66% to $13.6 million, or 3.0% of net
sales, compared with $8.2 million, or 2.7% of net sales, in the same period
of the prior year.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1996, Compared with Six Months Ended
June 30, 1995

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996, increased 51% to 
$922.2 million, compared with $609.0 million a year ago.  Same location 
sales increased 14% year to year.

Cost of goods sold, which includes the cost of merchandise sold and
delivery and occupancy costs, increased to $676.0 million for the first six
months of 1996, which was 73.3% of net sales.  This compares with 
$461.5 million reported in the same period of the prior year, which 
represented 75.8% of net sales.  Gross profit as a percentage of net 
sales was 26.7% and 24.2% for the first six months of 1996 and 1995.  
The increase in margins was primarily the result of improved margins on 
office papers.

Operating expense was 21.0% of net sales for the first six months of 1996,
compared with 20.1% in the same period of the prior year.  This increase
was due in part to the Company's direct-mail and international operations,
which have both higher gross margins and higher operating expenses.  These
operations represented a larger portion of the Company's overall sales in
1996.  Within the operating expense category, selling and warehouse
operating expense was 19.1% of net sales in 1996, compared with 18.1% in
1995.  Corporate general and administrative expense was 1.6% of net sales
for the first six months of 1996, compared with 1.8% in 1995.

As a result of the above factors, income from operations for 1996 increased
to $52.5 million, more than double the operating income of 1995, which was
$25.0 million.  Net income increased 83% to $29.2 million, or 3.2% of net
sales, compared with $15.9 million, or 2.6% of net sales, in the same
period of the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's principal requirements for cash have been to fund working
capital needs, upgrade and expand its facilities at existing locations,
open new distribution centers, and make acquisitions.  The funding of the
Company's strategy for growth, including acquisitions and the relocation of
several existing distribution centers into new and larger facilities, is
expected to require significant capital outlays by the Company over the
next several years.

To finance the Company's capital requirements, the Company expects to rely
upon funds from a combination of sources.  The Company anticipates
continued cash flow from operations.  In addition, the Company has a
$350 million revolving credit agreement that expires in 2001 and provides
for variable rates of interest based on customary indexes.  The revolving
credit agreement is available for acquisitions and general corporate
purposes.  It contains customary restrictive financial and other covenants,
including a negative pledge and covenants specifying a minimum net worth, a
minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and a maximum leverage ratio.  The
lending banks may terminate the revolving credit agreement and accelerate
the payment of any amounts borrowed thereunder in the event a Change of
Control (as defined) of the Company occurs.  At June 30, 1996, $100 million
was outstanding under this agreement.  At June 30, 1996, the Company had
$24 million of short-term borrowings.

In addition to available borrowing capacity under the terms of the
revolving credit agreement, the Company may, subject to the covenants
contained in the revolving credit agreement and to market conditions, raise
additional funds through other external debt or equity financing in the
future. 

In April 1996, the Company filed a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for additional shares of common stock.
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had 4,349,638 registered shares of common
stock to be offered from time to time in connection with acquisitions.

Net cash provided by operations for the first six months of 1996 was
$26.5 million.  This was the result of $42.9 million of net income,
depreciation and amortization, and other noncash items offset by a
$16.4 million increase in working capital.  Net cash used for investment in
the first six months of 1996 was $156.4 million, which included
$20.0 million of expenditures for property and equipment and $130.9 million
for acquisitions.  Net cash provided by financing was $124.9 million for
the first six months of 1996, resulting primarily from borrowings made by
the Company to fund acquisitions. 

Net cash provided by operations in the first six months of 1995 was
$18.7 million.  This was the result of $22.7 million of net income,
depreciation and amortization, and other noncash items offset by a
$4.0 million increase in working capital.  Net cash used for investment in
the first six months of 1995 was $17.6 million, which included $9.5 million
of expenditures for property and equipment and $9.3 million for
acquisitions.  Net cash provided by financing was $44.0 million for the
first six months of 1995, which included $123.1 million from the sale of
stock, offset by $78.5 million of net equity transactions with Boise
Cascade Corporation.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 1996 was $1.9 million compared
with $304,000 in the second quarter of 1995.  Interest expense for the
first six months of 1996 was $3.2 million compared with $304,000 in the
same period last year.   

Business Cycles

The Company is a major distributor of office products, including various
office papers.  In the second quarter of 1996, operating margins declined,
compared with the first quarter of 1996, because operating expenses
increased while declining sales prices for office papers held overall sales
flat.  Operating expenses as a percent of sales would have been about the
same as in the first quarter of 1996 if paper prices had not decreased from
their first-quarter levels.  It is uncertain to what extent or when paper
prices might significantly rise or fall and what favorable or adverse
impact those changes might have on the Company's sales and margins.

The Company's multifaceted growth strategy, including its acquisition
program, has been very successful in recent quarters.  The Company believes
that this growth strategy will continue to be successful, but the year-to-
year and quarter-to-quarter results of this strategy will depend in part on
market conditions outside the Company's control.  In addition, the pace of
the Company's acquisition program will reflect the extent of economically
acceptable opportunities available to the Company.
