FIRST QUARTER OF 2001 COMPARED TO THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2000
-----------------------------------------------------------

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2001 were $223.1 million, down
4.4% from the first quarter of 2000 when sales were $233.5 million. The decrease
in net sales resulted primarily from the impact of deflation of commodity wood
product prices. The Company expects that commodity wood product prices in BMHC's
product mix will remain, on average, at current levels and will adversely affect
BMHC's financial results in the second quarter of 2001. Same-store sales
decreased 6.7% as compared to the first quarter of 2000 at facilities that
operated for at least two months in both the first quarter of 2000 and 2001.
Value-added products accounted for $101.0 million, or 45.3% of net sales for the
first quarter of 2001, an increase from $94.3 million, or 40.4% of net sales for
the first quarter of 2000.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 28.5% in the first quarter of
2001 from 25.7% in the first quarter of 2000, primarily as a result of increased
sales of higher margin value-added products, such as roof trusses, pre-hung
doors, millwork, and pre-assembled windows. In addition, gross margins have
increased in our commodity wood products due to the impact of deflation,
resulting in lower material costs.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was $58.7 million in the
first quarter of 2001 as compared to $52.9 million in the first quarter of 2000,
and increased as a percentage of net sales from 22.7% in 2000 to 26.3% in 2001.
The Company attributes most of this dollar increase to the increase in
value-added product sales, which generally require higher SG&A expenses, and the
cost of integrating facility expansions and operations acquired during the last
12 months. The percentage increase is a result of reduced net sales due to the
deflation of commodity wood product prices.

Other income decreased from $2.5 million in 2000 to $0.5 million in 2001 due
primarily to a $2.2 million gain on the sale of real estate in Beaverton, Oregon
realized in the first quarter of 2000.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated companies was $1.8 million compared to $2.0
million in the first quarter of 2000. This decrease is attributed to startup
costs associated with the addition of a lumber operation and truss plant in
Nevada and startup costs incurred due to expansion into the California market.

Interest expense of $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2001 decreased from
$4.4 million in the same period of 2000, primarily due to lower debt levels.
These lower debt levels are the result of reduced working capital needs,

                                       10

<PAGE>

largely attributable to lower commodity wood prices. Average debt levels for the
first quarter of 2001 were $159.4 million compared to $179.4 million in the
first quarter of 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary need for capital resources is to fund future growth and
capital expenditures, as the Company has expanded operations in recent years.
Capital resources have primarily consisted of cash flows from operations and the
incurrence of debt.

OPERATIONS
In the first three months of 2001, net cash provided by operations was $14.3
million compared to net cash used in operations of $2.5 million in the first
three months of 2000. The increase in cash provided by operations is primarily
due to a decrease in net receivables as a result of lower net sales and an
increase in accounts payable. Working capital decreased from $142.1 million at
March 31, 2000 to $135.6 million at March 31, 2001.

CAPITAL INVESTMENT AND ACQUISITIONS
Capital expenditures were $7.6 million in the first three months of 2001.
Capital expenditures were incurred to acquire additional property and expand and
remodel existing building materials centers and value-added facilities. Proceeds
from the sale of business units, net of cash sold, was $0.7 million during the
first three months of 2001, related to the sale of the Grand Junction, Colorado
location.

FINANCING
Net cash used by financing activities was $6.5 million in the first three months
of 2001 compared to cash provided of $17.8 million in the same period in 2000.
As a result of less working capital needs during the first quarter of 2001, the
Company made payments upon its revolving credit agreement, as well as provided
for payments on its term note.

At March 31, 2001 the Company's existing senior credit facility provided for
borrowings of up to $244.4 million, which includes $105.5 million provided for
by the term loan all of which was outstanding at March 31, 2001, and $138.9
million provided for by the revolving credit facility, $49.8 million of which
was outstanding at March 31, 2001. Borrowings under the facility bear interest
at prime plus 0.50% to 1.50%, or Offshore Rate plus 2.0% to 3.0%. The agreement
expires in 2004.

In the third quarter of 1998, a shelf registration was filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission to register 2,000,000 shares of common stock. The
Company may issue these shares from time to time in connection with future
business combinations, mergers and/or acquisitions.

Based on the Company's ability to generate cash flows from operations, its
borrowing capacity under the revolver and its access to debt and equity markets,
the Company believes it will have sufficient capital to meet its anticipated
needs.

DISCLOSURES OF CERTAIN MARKET RISKS
The Company experiences changes in interest expense when market interest rates
change or changes are made to its debt structure. Previously, the Company has
managed its exposure to market interest rate changes through periodic
refinancing of its variable rate debt with fixed rate term debt obligations.
Based on debt outstanding at March 31, 2001, a 25 basis point increase in
interest rates would result in approximately $400,000 of additional annual
interest costs.

Commodity wood products, including lumber and panel products, accounted for
approximately 38.2% and 42.2% of net sales in the first three months of 2001 and
2000, respectively. Prices of commodity wood products, which are subject to
significant volatility, could directly affect net sales. The Company does not
utilize any derivative financial instruments.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.        Legal Proceedings

               management, the Company's recovery or liability, if any,
