Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Benefits Committee of
BlueLinx Corporation Hourly Savings Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of BlueLinx
Corporation Hourly Savings Plan as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007. 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 audits 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, 2007 and 2006, and the
changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007, 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, 2007, 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 Hourly Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007
Note 1: Description of Plan
The following description of the BlueLinx Corporation Hourly 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
hourly employees of BlueLinx Corporation (the Plan Sponsor or Company). Employees become eligible
to participate in the Plan upon completing three months of service with the Plan Sponsor or by
reason of recognition of service with a predecessor employer. Employees are only permitted to enter
the Plan on the first day of the calendar month coincident with or next following the date that the
Plans 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 an amount
determined pursuant to the applicable Articles and Exhibits to the Plan. Employees are required to
complete one year of service to receive the match.
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 of the Plan are paid by either the Plan Sponsor or by the Plan, as
determined by the Plan administrator. These expenses include, but are not limited to, legal,
accounting and certain recordkeeping fees and investment expenses.
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 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 account.
4
Vesting
Participants are fully vested in all contributions and earnings thereon at the time of entry to the
Plan.
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 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.
A participant may also take out a hardship distribution. 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.
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
In general, the Plan does not have forfeitures due to the fact that all participants are 100%
vested at the time of entry to the Plan. However, excess employer contributions are deposited to
the forfeitures account. Excess employer contributions totaled $0 and $1,604 at December 31, 2007
and 2006, 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 7) 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.
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.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Plans management is currently evaluating the effect of SFAS No. 157 on the
Plans financial statements.
Note 3: Investments
A schedule of the fair value of individual investments that comprised 5% or more of the Plans net
assets available for benefits at December 31, 2007 and 2006, are as follows:

Note 4: Income Tax Status
The Plan has applied for but has not received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the
Code). However, the plan administrator believes that the Plan has been designed to comply with
and is operating in accordance with the requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes the Plan
is qualified and the related trust is exempt from taxation.
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 6: 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 remain 100% vested in their accounts.
Note 7: 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 Salaried Savings Plan. Both retirement plans
have an undivided interest in the Master Trust. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Plans interest
in the net assets of the Master Trust was approximately 1% and 3%, 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, 2007 and 2006:
