Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Benefits Committee of
BlueLinx Corporation Salaried Savings Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of BlueLinx
Corporation Salaried Savings Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (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. We
were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Our
audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and 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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the
changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken
as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December
31, 2006, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules
and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
financial statements taken as a whole.

BlueLinx Corporation Salaried Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
Note 1: Description of Plan
The following description of the BlueLinx Corporation Salaried Savings Plan (Plan) provides only
general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete
description of the Plans provisions.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution savings plan, established May 7, 2004 covering substantially all
salaried employees (other than leased employees, independent contractors and nonresident aliens
with no United States source income) of BlueLinx Corporation (the Plan Sponsor or Company).
Employees become eligible to participate in the Plan as soon as administratively practicable
following date of hire or by reason of recognition of service with a predecessor employer.
Employees are permitted to enter the Plan on the date the eligibility requirements are met. The
Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA),
as amended.
Contributions
The Plan includes a provision under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 401(k) whereby participants
may make pretax contributions to the Plan of up to 75% of their annual compensation (as defined in
the Plan agreement), subject to limitations under the IRC. Participants age fifty and older are
also allowed to make catch-up contributions.
For employees who participate in the Plan, the Plan Sponsor is required to match, subject to
certain limitations under the IRC, 100% of each participants pretax contributions up to 3% of the
participants compensation plus 50% of pretax contributions on the next 5% of the participants
compensation.
Employees may also deposit rollover contributions from another qualified plan. Rollover
contributions are placed in a separate account and are subject to the rules for investment
established by the Plan administrator.
Administration
The Company serves as the Plan administrator. The Plan administrator has the responsibility to
administer the Plan for the exclusive benefit of the participants and their beneficiaries. These
duties include, but are not limited to, establishing procedures, maintaining records, interpreting
provisions of the Plan and making determinations regarding questions, which may affect eligibility
for benefits. The Plan administrator has engaged The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard) as a
third-party administrator to assist in the administration of the Plan.
The trustee of the Plan is Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (Vanguard Trust) (see Note 5). Vanguard
Trust, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vanguard, receives all contributions made under the Plan, holds
Plan assets and pays benefits to participants as directed by the Plan administrator. Vanguard Trust
serves as the intermediary for all asset purchases and redemptions. Additionally, a related entity
of Vanguard manages certain of the Plans investment options.
Expenses
Administrative expenses for trustee, recordkeeping, accounting and audit services are paid by the
Plan using available forfeitures. The Plan Sponsor pays legal expenses, expenses related to the
creation of communications material and
4
remaining expenses in excess of forfeitures.
Participant Accounts
Each participant account is credited with pretax and rollover contributions made by the participant
and is allocated a portion of the Plan Sponsors matching and non-elective contributions and Plan
earnings or losses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined
in the Plan agreement. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be
provided from the participants vested account.
Vesting
Participants vesting in the Plan Sponsors matching and non-elective contributions and income
earned thereon is based on years of continuous service with the Plan Sponsor or the predecessor
employer, if applicable. All participants become 100% vested after three years of service. The
vesting percentages are as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Years of Service |
|
Percentage |
|
1 |
|
|
0 |
% |
2 |
|
|
0 |
% |
3 |
|
|
100 |
% |
Participants also become 100% vested upon termination of the Plan, on reaching the normal
retirement age of sixty-five or upon disability or death while an employee of the Plan Sponsor.
Any portion of a participants account balance attributable to pretax, rollover and qualified
non-elective contributions and income earned thereon is 100% vested at the time of contribution and
is not subject to forfeiture.
Investment Options
Participants are allowed to make participant-directed allocations of their accounts among various
investment options, including certain options for which Vanguard Trust or its affiliates serve as
investment advisors (see Note 5), selected by the Plan administrator.
Participant Loans and Other Withdrawals
Participants may borrow from their accounts an amount equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of
their vested account balances. Participant loans generally have terms ranging up to five years,
are secured by the balance in the participants account and bear interest at a rate determined by
the Plan administrator based on prevailing interest rates at the time of the loan. A loan used for
financing the purchase of the participants principal residence may be repaid over a period
exceeding five years as determined on a case-by-case basis. In general, participant loans are due
and payable if a participant terminates employment or fails to make a principal and/or interest
payment as provided in the loan agreement. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll
deductions.
In general, a participant may withdraw up to 100% of pretax contributions, excluding certain
earnings on pretax contributions, in the event of a participants heavy and immediate financial
hardship, as defined in the Plan agreement. Hardship distributions may not exceed the amount of the
participants financial hardship and may not be repaid by the participant. If a participant makes a
hardship withdrawal, the right to make contributions will be suspended for six months.
Pretax contributions may be withdrawn by a participant after reaching age fifty-nine and one-half.
Rollover contributions may be withdrawn by a participant at any time.
5
Payment of Benefits
Upon normal retirement, disability or death, a participant or beneficiary may receive the value of
the account through a lump sum distribution. In general, if a participants account balance, as
defined in the Plan agreement, is greater than $5,000 (the involuntary cash-out amount), the
account may not be distributed without the participants consent.
Upon termination of service of a participant for any reason, a participant will receive the value
of the account through a single lump sum if the account balance is less than $5,000. In connection
with the mandatory lump sum payment, if the balance is greater than $1,000 and the participant
fails to elect either a rollover or direct payment, the account balance will be distributed to an
individual retirement plan designated by the Plan Sponsor.
Distributions from the Plan will normally be subject to income taxes and in certain circumstances
may also be subject to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) penalties, unless the distribution is
transferred to another qualified plan or individual retirement account.
Forfeitures
Non-vested account balances of terminated employees are forfeited upon the earlier of the complete
distribution of the vested portion of their account, subject to the possibility of reinstatement
before the end of five consecutive breaks in service, as defined in the Plan agreement, or five
consecutive breaks in service. Forfeitures may be used to reduce administrative expenses or reduce
Plan Sponsor contributions. Forfeitures account balances totaled $122,158 and $43,830 for the
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Note 2: Summary of Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires the Plan administrator to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those
estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plans investments are stated at fair value which equals the quoted market price in an active
market on the last business day of the Plan year. Shares of mutual funds are valued at quoted
market prices which represent the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The
fair value of the Plans interest in the Master Trust Agreement for the BlueLinx Corporation
Company Stock Fund (Master Trust) (see Note 8) is based on the beginning of the year value of the
Plans interest in the Master Trust plus actual contributions and allocated investment income, less
distributions and allocated administrative expenses. Quoted market prices are used to value the
underlying investments in the Master Trust. Participant loans are valued at their outstanding
balance, which approximates fair value.
Payments of Benefits
Benefit payments are recorded when paid by the Plan.
6
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plans invested assets ultimately consist of stocks and other investment securities. Investment
securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate risk, market risk and credit risk.
Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty
related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that
changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participant account balances and the
amounts reported in the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits.

assets available for benefits at December 31 follows:

Note 4: Income Tax Status
The Plan has not received a determination letter from the IRS stating that the Plan is qualified
under Section 401(a) of the IRC. However the Plan administrator believes that the Plan has been
designed to comply with the requirements of the IRC and has indicated that it will take the
necessary steps, if any, to bring the Plans operations and/or
documents into compliance with the
IRC.
Note 5: Party-in-Interest Transactions
Vanguard Trust and its affiliates perform services, sell products and maintain certain investments
of the Plan for which fees are charged to the Plan. Party-in-interest transactions also include
loans made to participants.
The
participants are able to invest in stock of BlueLinx Holdings Inc.
which is the parent company of the Plan Sponsor.
Such transactions, while considered party-in-interest transactions under ERISA, are permitted under
the provisions of the Plan and are specifically exempt from the prohibition of party-in-interest
transactions under ERISA.
Note 7: Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Plan administrator has the right under the
Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination,
participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.
Note 8: Financial Information of the Master Trust
Certain of the Plans investments are in the Master Trust which was established for the investment
of assets of the Plan and of the BlueLinx Corporation Hourly Savings Plan. Both retirement plans
have an undivided interest in
7
the Master Trust. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Plans interest in the net assets of the
Master Trust was approximately 97% and 99.7%, respectively. Trust assets are allocated among the
participating plans by assigning to each plan, transactions which can be specifically identified,
including income and expenses resulting from the collective investment of assets of the Master
Trust. The following table presents the fair value of investments for the Master Trust at December
31:
