BUILDING MATERIALS CORPORATION OF AMERICA
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Building Materials Corporation of America ("BMCA" or the "Company")
was formed on January 31, 1994 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BMCA Holdings
Corporation ("BHC"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of G-I Holdings Inc.
("G-I Holdings"). G-I Holdings is a wholly-owned subsidiary of G Holdings Inc.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position
of the Company at April 3, 2005, and the results of operations and cash flows
for the first quarter ended April 3, 2005 and April 4, 2004, respectively. All
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004 (the "2004 Form 10-K").
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to current year
presentation.
NOTE 1. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 151 "Inventory
Costs" ("SFAS No. 151") which clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of
idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage).
SFAS No. 151 amends Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 43, Chapter 4
"Inventory Pricing" ("ARB No. 43") and requires abnormal inventory costs to be
recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the "so
abnormal" criterion outlined in ARB No. 43. SFAS No. 151 also introduces the
concept of "normal capacity" and requires the allocation of fixed production
overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production
facilities. Unallocated overheads must be recognized as an expense in the period
in which they are incurred. SFAS No. 151 is effective for costs occurring in
fiscal reporting years beginning after June 15, 2005. As of January 1, 2006 the
Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 151 and does not anticipate any
material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued a revised SFAS No. 123 "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation," ("SFAS No. 123(R)") which will require
compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized
in the financial statements. SFAS No. 123(R) establishes fair value as the
measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and
requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement method in
accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. SFAS No. 123(R)
replaces the original SFAS No. 123 and supersedes Accounting Principles Board
("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS No.
123(R) becomes effective beginning with the first annual reporting period after
June 15, 2005. As of April 3, 2005, the Company currently accounts for its 2001
Long-Term Incentive Plan under the accounting prescribed by FASB Interpretation
No. 28, "Accounting for Stock
6
BUILDING MATERIALS CORPORATION OF AMERICA
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option and Award Plans," ("FIN
28"). Since compensation expense related to the Company's incentive units is
currently included in its consolidated statements of income, the Company does
not expect SFAS No. 123(R) to have an impact on its consolidated financial
statements. See Note 5.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153 "Exchanges of
Nonmonetary Assets" ("SFAS No. 153") which replaces the exception from fair
value measurement in APB Opinion No. 29 "Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions," for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets. SFAS No.
153 replaces this exception with a general exception from fair value measurement
for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A
nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the
entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS
No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal
reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2005. As of July 4, 2005, the Company
will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 153 and does not anticipate having any
nonmonetary asset exchanges.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") FIN
46(R)-5 "Implicit Variable Interests Under FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," ("FSP FIN 46(R)-5"). FSP FIN
46(R)-5 offers additional guidance to FIN 46(R) stating that implicit variable
interests are implied financial interests in an entity that change with changes
in the fair value of the entity's net assets exclusive of variable interests.
FSP FIN 46(R)-5 is effective during a company's first reporting period after
March 3, 2005; accordingly the Company will adopt FSP FIN 46(R)-5 during its
second quarter ended July 3, 2005. At April 3, 2005, the Company did not have
any interests in variable interest entities; therefore the Company does not
expect FSP FIN 46(R)-5 or FIN 46(R) to have an impact on its financial condition
or results of operations.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47 "Accounting
for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations," ("FIN 47"), which clarifies how
the term conditional asset retirement obligation is used in SFAS No. 143
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS No. 143"). SFAS No. 143
provides for a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which
the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that
may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 provides factors for
when a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the obligation can be determined
and indicators which would preclude an entity from recognizing a liability for
such obligations. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15,
2005. The Company will adopt FIN 47 during the fiscal year ending December 31,
2005 and expects there to be no impact on its financial condition or results of
operations.

NOTE 4. BENEFIT PLANS
In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS No. 132,
"Employer's Disclosures About Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits,"
("SFAS No. 132") which revises employers' disclosures about pension plans and
other postretirement benefit plans. The revised SFAS No. 132 requires
disclosures in addition to those in the original SFAS No. 132 related to the
assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost of defined pension
plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans, including interim
disclosures regarding components of net periodic benefit costs recognized during
interim periods. The Company adopted the interim disclosure provisions of SFAS
No. 132 effective for the quarterly period beginning January 1, 2004.
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company provides non-contributory defined benefit retirement
plans for certain hourly and salaried employees (the "Retirement Plans").
Benefits under these plans are based on stated amounts for each year of service.
The Company's funding policy is consistent with the minimum funding requirements
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
The Company's net periodic pension cost for the Retirement Plans
included the following components for the first quarter ended April 3, 2005 and
April 4, 2004, respectively:
APRIL 3, APRIL 4,
2005 2004

----- ------
Net periodic pension cost................. $ 258 $ 243
===== ======
At April 3, 2005 the Company does not expect to make any pension
contribution to the Retirement Plans in 2005, which is consistent with its
expectations as of December 31, 2004.
Postretirement Medical and Life Insurance
The Company generally does not provide postretirement medical and
life insurance benefits, although it subsidizes such benefits for certain
9

NOTE 4. BENEFIT PLANS - (CONTINUED)
employees and certain retirees. Such subsidies were reduced or ended as of
January 1, 1997.
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost included the following
components for the first quarter ended April 3, 2005 and April 4, 2004,
respectively:
APRIL 3, APRIL 4,

At April 3, 2005 the Company expects to make aggregate benefit claim
payments of approximately $0.3 million in 2005, which are related to
postretirement medical and life insurance expenses. This is consistent with the
Company's expectations as of December 31, 2004.
NOTE 5. 2001 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
The Company currently accounts for its 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan
units granted to certain employees under the accounting prescribed by applying
FASB Interpretation No. 28, "Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other
Variable Stock Option and Award Plans" ("FIN 28"), which requires an entity to
measure compensation as the amount by which the Book Value (as defined in the
plan) of the incentive units covered by the grant exceeds the option price or
value specified of such incentive units at the date of grant. Changes, either
increases or decreases, in the Book Value of those incentive units between the
date of grant and the measurement date result in a change in the measure of
compensation for the right or award. The Company has also adopted the additional
disclosure provisions prescribed in SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS No. 148"), which requires
additional disclosures on both an annual and interim basis about the effects on
reported net income of an entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to
stock-based employee compensation. The Company expects to continue to account
for its long-term incentive units under the accounting prescribed by FIN 28 and
the additional disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148. Compensation expense for
the Company's incentive units was $3.0 and $1.7 million for the first quarter
ended April 3, 2005 and April 4, 2004, respectively. The Company's pro forma net
income for the quarters ended April 3, 2005 and April 4, 2004, respectively, as
it relates to compensation expense is the same as actual net income.

NOTE 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company makes loans to, and borrows from, its parent corporations
from time to time at prevailing market rates. As of April 3, 2005 and April 4,
2004, BMCA Holdings Corporation owed the Company $55.7 and $55.6 million,
including interest of $0.4 and $0.3 million, respectively, and the Company owed
BMCA Holdings Corporation $52.8 and $52.8 million, with no unpaid interest
payable to BMCA Holdings Corporation, respectively. Interest income on the
Company's loans to BMCA Holdings Corporation amounted to $0.9 and $0.7 million
during the first quarter ended April 3, 2005 and April 4, 2004, respectively.
Interest expense on the Company's loans from BMCA Holdings Corporation amounted
to $0.9 and $0.7 million during the first quarter ended April 3, 2005 and April
4, 2004, respectively. Loans payable to/receivable from any parent corporation
are due on demand and provide each party with the right of offset of its related
obligation to the other party and are subject to limitations as outlined in the
Company's $350 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the "Senior
Secured Revolving Credit Facility") and its 7 3/4% Senior Notes due 2005, the
8% Senior Notes due 2007, the 8% Senior Notes due 2008, and the 7 3/4% Senior
Notes due 2014, (collectively, the "Senior Notes"). Under the terms of the
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and the indentures governing the
Company's Senior Notes at April 3, 2005, the Company could repay demand loans to
its parent corporation amounting to $52.8 million, subject to certain
conditions. The Company also makes non-interest bearing advances to affiliates,
of which no balance was outstanding as of April 3, 2005 and April 4, 2004. In
addition, no loans were owed by the Company to other affiliates.
On March 15, 2005, the Company paid $3.8 million in federal income
tax payments to its parent corporation pursuant to a tax sharing agreement. This
amount is included in the change in net receivable from/payable to related
parties/parent corporations in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
NOTE 7. CONTINGENCIES
Asbestos Litigation Against G-I Holdings
In connection with its formation, the Company contractually assumed
and agreed to pay the first $204.4 million of liabilities for asbestos-related
bodily injury claims relating to the inhalation of asbestos fiber ("Asbestos
Claims") of its parent, G-I Holdings. As of March 30, 1997, the Company paid all
of its assumed asbestos-related liabilities. In January 2001, G-I Holdings filed
a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code due to Asbestos Claims. Most asbestos claims do not specify the amount of
damages sought. This Chapter 11 proceeding remains pending.
11
BUILDING MATERIALS CORPORATION OF AMERICA
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - (CONTINUED)
NOTE 7. CONTINGENCIES - (CONTINUED)
Claimants in the G-I Holdings' bankruptcy, including judgment creditors,
might seek to satisfy their claims by asking the bankruptcy court to require the
sale of G-I Holdings' assets, including its holdings of BMCA Holdings
Corporation's common stock and its indirect holdings of the Company's common
stock. Such action could result in a change of control of the Company. In
addition, those creditors may seek to file Asbestos Claims against the Company
(with approximately 1,900 alleged Asbestos Claims having been filed against the
Company as of April 3, 2005). The Company believes that it will not sustain
any liability in connection with these or any other asbestos-related claims. On
February 2, 2001, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New
Jersey issued a temporary restraining order enjoining any existing or future
claimant from bringing or prosecuting an Asbestos Claim against the Company. By
oral opinion on June 22, 2001, and written order entered February 22, 2002, the
court converted the temporary restraints into a preliminary injunction,
prohibiting the bringing or prosecution of any such Asbestos Claim against the
Company. On February 7, 2001, G-I Holdings filed an action in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey seeking a declaratory judgment
that BMCA has no successor liability for Asbestos Claims against G-I Holdings
and that it is not the alter ego of G-I Holdings (the "BMCA Action"). On May 13,
2003 the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey overseeing
the G-I Holdings' Bankruptcy Court withdrew the reference of the BMCA Action
from the Bankruptcy Court, and this matter will be heard by the District Court
directly. The BMCA Action is in a pretrial discovery stage and no trial date has
been set by the court. As a result, it is not possible to predict the outcome of
this litigation, although the Company believes its claims are meritorious. While
the Company cannot predict whether any additional Asbestos Claims will be
asserted against it or its assets, or the outcome of any litigation relating to
those claims, the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to any claim
that it has asbestos-related liability, although there can be no assurances in
this regard.
On or about February 8, 2001, the creditors' committee established in
G-I Holdings' bankruptcy case filed a complaint in the United States Bankruptcy
Court, District of New Jersey against G-I Holdings and the Company. The
complaint requests substantive consolidation of the Company with G-I Holdings or
an order directing G-I Holdings to cause the Company to file for bankruptcy
protection. The Company and G-I Holdings intend to vigorously defend the
lawsuit. The plaintiffs also filed for interim relief absent the granting of
their requested relief described above. On March 21, 2001, the bankruptcy court
denied plaintiffs' application for interim relief. In November 2002, the
creditors' committee, joined in by the legal representative of future demand
holders, filed a motion for appointment of a trustee in the G-I Holdings'
bankruptcy. In December 2002, the bankruptcy court denied the motion. The
creditors' committee appealed the ruling to the United States District Court,
which denied the appeal on June 27, 2003. The creditors' committee has appealed
the denial to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, which denied the appeal on
September 24, 2004. The creditors' committee filed a petition with the Third

committee's appeal, which was denied by the Court on October 26, 2004.
On February 27, 2004, the creditors' committee, joined in by the legal
representative, filed a motion to modify the preliminary injunction and to seek
authority by the bankruptcy court to avoid, on various grounds, certain liens
granted in connection with the financing obtained by the Company in December,
2000. G-I Holdings and the Company have opposed the motion and a hearing on the
motion was held by the bankruptcy court on March 29, 2004. By opinion dated June
8, 2004, the court granted the motion in part and denied it in part. On July 7,
2004, the creditors' committee filed a claim challenging, as a fraudulent
conveyance, the transactions entered into in connection with the Company's
formation in 1994, in which G-I Holdings caused to be transferred to the Company
all of its roofing business and assets and in which the Company assumed certain
liabilities relating to those assets, including a specified amount of asbestos
liabilities (the "1994 transaction"). In addition, on July 7, 2004, the
creditors' committee filed a claim against holders of the Company's bank and
bond debt outstanding in 2000, seeking to avoid the liens granted to them, based
on the committee's theory that the 1994 transaction was a fraudulent conveyance.
On August 3, 2004, the creditors' committee filed an amended complaint adding
the names of additional alleged bondholders. On July 20, 2004, the creditors'
committee appealed the court's decision, issued on June 8, 2004, seeking the
authority to file a lawsuit against the banks and bondholders discussed above,
challenging the liens granted to them in 2000 as a fraudulent conveyance and are
appealing, among other things, certain adverse rulings relating to statute of
limitation issues. G-I Holdings, the holders of the Company's bank and bond debt
and the Company have filed cross appeals. These appeals remain pending before
the District Court.
On August 3, 2004, the creditors' committee filed a motion with the
bankruptcy court seeking to impose certain conditions on the redemption of the
8 5/8% Senior Notes due 2006 (the "2006 Notes"), or in the alternative,
temporarily enjoin the Company from satisfying such redemption. On August 5,
2004, the bankruptcy court, having previously ruled on June 8, 2004, the
redemption could proceed without restriction, refused to impose any conditions
on the redemption or to enjoin, on a preliminary basis, the Company from
repaying the 2006 Notes pursuant to a July 26, 2004 call notice, or from
purchasing any of its senior notes on the open market. The committee
subsequently withdrew its motion as being moot, and the redemption of the 2006
Notes concluded on August 26, 2004.
The Company believes that the claims of the creditors' committee are without
merit. However, if the Company is not successful defending against one or more
of these claims, the Company may be forced to file for bankruptcy protection
and/or contribute all or a substantial portion of its assets to satisfy the
claims of G-I Holdings' creditors. Either of these events, or the substantive
13

NOTE 7. CONTINGENCIES - (CONTINUED)
consolidation of G-I Holdings and the Company, would weaken its operations and
cause it to divert a material amount of its cash flow to satisfy the asbestos
claims of G-I Holdings, and may render it unable to pay interest or principal on
its credit obligations.
For a further discussion with respect to the history of the foregoing
litigation, and asbestos-related matters and other litigation, see Notes 5, 13
and 18 to consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's 2004 Form
10-K.
Environmental Litigation
The Company, together with other companies, is a party to a variety
of proceedings and lawsuits involving environmental matters under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, and similar
state laws, in which recovery is sought for the cost of cleanup of contaminated
sites or remedial obligations are imposed, a number of which are in the early
stages or have been dormant for protracted periods. The Company refers to these
proceedings and lawsuits as "Environmental Claims." Most of the Environmental
Claims do not seek to recover an amount of specific damages. At most sites, the
Company anticipates that liability will be apportioned among the companies found
to be responsible for the presence of hazardous substances at the site. The
Company believes that the ultimate disposition of such matters will not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the
liquidity, financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Other Litigation
On or about February 17, 2004, litigation was commenced against the
Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania by CertainTeed Corporation alleging patent infringement in
connection with certain of the Company's products representing less than 5% of
the Company's net sales. No specific amount of damages have been sought in the
litigation. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously in this matter, has
denied CertainTeed's claims and has filed counterclaims against CertainTeed for
patent infringement, violations of the antitrust laws and for trade libel.
Although this matter is in its preliminary stages and there can be no assurances
made, the Company believes that the claims filed by CertainTeed Corporation are
without merit and will not have a material adverse effect against it. In
addition, although the Company's counterclaims against CertainTeed are in their
preliminary stages, the Company believes its counterclaims are meritorious.
For a further discussion with respect to the history of environmental
matters and other litigation, reference is made to Notes 2 and 18 to
consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's 2004 Form 10-K.

Tax Claim Against G-I Holdings
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries were members of the
consolidated group (the "G-I Holdings Group") for federal income tax purposes
that included G-I Holdings in certain prior years and, accordingly, would be
severally liable for any tax liability of the G-I Holdings Group in respect of
those prior years.
On September 15, 1997, G-I Holdings received a notice from the
Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") of a deficiency in the amount of $84.4
million (after taking into account the use of net operating losses and foreign
tax credits otherwise available for use in later years) in connection with the
formation in 1990 of Rhone-Poulenc Surfactants and Specialties, L.P. (the
"surfactants partnership"), a partnership in which G-I Holdings held an
interest. G-I Holdings has advised the Company that it believes that it will
prevail in this tax matter arising out of the surfactants partnership, although
there can be no assurance in this regard. The Company believes that the ultimate
disposition of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on its
business, financial position or results of operations. On September 21, 2001,
the IRS filed a proof of claim with respect to such deficiency against G-I
Holdings in the G-I Holdings' bankruptcy. If such proof of claim is sustained,
the Company and/or certain of the Company's subsidiaries together with G-I
Holdings and several current and former subsidiaries of G-I Holdings would be
severally liable for a portion of those taxes and interest. G-I Holdings has
filed an objection to the proof of claim. If the IRS were to prevail for the
years in which the Company and/or certain of its subsidiaries were part of the
G-I Holdings Group, the Company would be severally liable for approximately
$40.0 million in taxes plus interest, although this calculation is subject to
uncertainty depending upon various factors including G-I Holdings' ability to
satisfy its tax liabilities and the application of tax credits and deductions.
Other Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has several supply
agreements that include minimum annual purchase requirements. In the event these
purchase requirements are not met, the Company may be required to make payments
under these supply agreements.
NOTE 8. GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
At April 3, 2005, all of the Company's subsidiaries, each of which is
wholly owned by the Company are guarantors under the Company's $350.0 million

NOTE 8. GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION - (CONTINUED)
Manufacturing Corporation ("BMMC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is
a co-obligor on the 2007 Notes.
The Company and BMMC entered into license agreements, effective

of one year and are subject to automatic renewal unless either party terminates
with 60 days written notice. Also, effective January 1, 1999, BMMC sells all
finished goods to the Company at a manufacturing profit.
Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for
the Company and the guarantor subsidiaries. This financial information should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other notes
related thereto. Separate financial statements for the Company and the guarantor

BUILDING MATERIALS CORPORATION OF AMERICA
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Unless otherwise indicated by the context, "we," "us," and "our"
refer to Building Materials Corporation of America and its consolidated
subsidiaries.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no significant changes to our Critical Accounting
Policies during the first quarter ended April 3, 2005. For a further discussion
on our Critical Accounting Policies, reference is made to Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,
"Critical Accounting Policies" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2004, which we refer to as the 2004 Form 10-K.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Roofing product sales is our dominant business, typically accounting
for approximately 95% of our consolidated net sales. The main drivers of our
roofing business include: the nation's aging housing stock; existing home sales;
new home construction; larger new homes; increased home ownership rates; and
severe weather and energy concerns. Our roofing business is also affected by raw
material costs, including asphalt and other petroleum-based raw materials,
energy, and transportation and distribution costs.
First Quarter 2005 Compared With
First Quarter 2004
We recorded net income in the first quarter of 2005 of $12.8 million
compared with net income of $10.6 million in the first quarter of 2004. The
increase in first quarter of 2005 net income was primarily attributable to
higher operating income, partially offset by higher interest expense.
Net sales for the first quarter of 2005 were $478.8 million, a 22.1%
increase over first quarter of 2004 net sales of $392.0 million, with the
increase primarily due to higher unit volumes and, to a lesser extent, higher
average selling prices of residential and commercial roofing products.
Operating income in the first quarter of 2005 was $37.8 million
compared with $31.9 million in the first quarter of 2004, representing an
increase of 18.5%. Operating results in the first quarter of 2005 were
positively affected by higher net sales primarily resulting from higher unit
volumes and, to a lesser extent, higher average selling prices of residential
and commercial roofing products. Partially offsetting these improvements in
operating results were higher raw material costs, including asphalt, and higher
selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily due to higher volume
related distribution costs and higher transportation costs, principally due to a
rise in fuel costs.

Interest expense for the first quarter of 2005 increased to $16.1
million from $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2004, primarily due to
higher average borrowings and a higher average interest rate. The higher average
borrowings in the first quarter of 2005 were primarily due to the issuance, in
July 2004, of $200 million 7 3/4% Senior Notes due 2014 together with an
issuance, in November 2004, of an additional $50 million of 7 3/4% Senior Notes
due 2014, which we refer to collectively as the 2014 Notes, partially offset by
the redemption of the Company's $100 million 8 5/8% Senior Notes due 2006, which
we refer to as the 2006 Notes, and a reduction in the amount outstanding under
the Company's $350 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, which we
refer to as the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. Other expense, net was
$1.0 million for the first quarter of 2005 compared with $0.8 million for the
first quarter of 2004.
BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
Net Sales. Net sales of roofing products for the first quarter of 2005 increased
to $462.2 million from $375.4 million for the first quarter of 2004,
representing an increase of $86.8 million or 23.1%. The increase in net sales of
roofing products was primarily attributable to higher unit volumes and, to a
lesser extent, higher average selling prices. Roofing product net sales were
favorably impacted by an increase in net sales of premium laminate shingles
primarily due to higher unit volumes, and to a lesser extent, higher average
selling prices. Net sales of specialty building products and accessories
remained constant at $16.6 million for the first quarter of 2005 as compared
with the first quarter of 2004.
Gross Margin. Our overall gross margin increased to $143.1 million or 29.9% for
the first quarter of 2005 from $117.9 million or 30.1% for the first quarter of
2004. The increase in our overall gross margin is primarily attributable to an
increase in net sales due to an improved sales mix and higher average selling
prices, partially offset by higher raw material costs.
Operating Income. Operating income for the first quarter of 2005 increased to
$37.8 million or 7.9% of net sales, compared to $31.9 million or 8.1% of net
sales for the first quarter of 2004. The overall increase in operating income
for the first quarter of 2005 is primarily attributable to higher net sales of
roofing products driven by higher unit volumes and, to a lesser extent, higher
average selling prices, partially offset by higher raw material costs, including
asphalt, and higher selling, general and administrative expenses resulting from
higher volume related distribution costs and higher transportation costs,
principally due to a rise in fuel prices.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash Flows and Cash Position
Sales of roofing products and specialty building products and
accessories in the northern regions of the United States generally decline in
the late fall and winter months due to cold weather. In addition, adverse
weather conditions can result in higher customer demand during our peak
operating season depending on the extent and severity of the damage from these
severe weather conditions. Due to the seasonal demands of our business together
with extreme weather conditions, we generally have negative cash flows from
operations during the first six months of our fiscal year. Our negative cash
flows from operations are primarily driven by our cash invested in both accounts
receivable and inventories to meet these seasonal operating demands. Generally,
in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year, our cash flows from
operations become positive for each quarter, as our investment in inventories
and accounts receivable no longer continues to increase, as is customary in the
first six months of our fiscal year. Our seasonal working capital needs,
together with our debt service obligations, capital expenditure requirements and
other contracted arrangements, adversely impact our liquidity during this
period. We rely on our cash on hand and our Senior Secured Revolving Credit
Facility due November 2006, to support our overall cash flow requirements during
these periods. We expect to continue to rely on our cash on hand and external
financings to maintain operations over the short and long-term and to continue
to have access to the financing markets, subject to the then prevailing market
terms and conditions.
Net cash outflow during the first quarter of 2005 from operating and
investing activities was $99.2 million, including the use of $89.5 million of
cash from operations and the reinvestment of $9.7 million for capital programs.
Cash invested in additional working capital totaled $113.0 million
during the first quarter of 2005, reflecting an increase in total accounts
receivable of $83.5 million, due to our increased operating performance and the
seasonality of our business, a $4.7 million increase in inventories to meet our
seasonal operating demands, a $1.9 million increase in other current assets, and
a $22.9 million net decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The
net cash used for operating activities also included a $1.9 million net increase
in the payable to related parties/parent corporations, primarily attributable to
$6.0 million in current federal income taxes partially offset by $3.8 million in
federal income tax payments, paid pursuant to our tax sharing agreement with our
parent corporation and a $0.3 million decrease in amounts due under our
long-term granule supply agreement with an affiliated company. In addition, cash
used in operating activities also included a $5.2 million increase in other
assets, primarily reflecting a payment to our glass fiber supplier in connection
with a requirements contract entered into in December 2004.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $0.8 million during the
first quarter of 2005, including $11.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of
long-term debt related to 2005 year to date cumulative borrowings under our
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. Financing activities also included
$11.6 million in repayments of long-term debt, of which $11.0 million related to
2005 year to date cumulative repayments under our Senior Secured Revolving
Credit Facility and $0.6 million related to our Chester, South Carolina loan
obligation.
Intercompany Transactions
We make loans to, and borrow from, our parent corporations from time
to time at prevailing market rates. As of April 3, 2005 and April 4, 2004, BMCA
Holdings Corporation owed us $55.7 and $55.6 million, including interest of $0.4
and $0.3 million, respectively, and we owed BMCA Holdings Corporation $52.8 and
$52.8 million, with no unpaid interest payable to BMCA Holdings Corporation,
respectively. Interest income on our loans to BMCA Holdings Corporation amounted
to $0.9 and $0.7 million during the first quarter ended April 3, 2005 and April
4, 2004, respectively. Interest expense on our loans from BMCA Holdings
Corporation amounted to $0.9 and $0.7 million during the first quarter ended
April 3, 2005 and April 4, 2004, respectively. Loans payable to/receivable from
any parent corporation are due on demand and provide each party with the right
of offset of its related obligation to the other party and are subject to
limitations as outlined in our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and our
7 3/4% Senior Notes due 2005, the 8% Senior Notes due 2007, the 8% Senior Notes
due 2008, and the 2014 Notes, which we refer to collectively as the Senior
Notes. Under the terms of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and the
indentures governing our Senior Notes, at April 3, 2005, we could repay demand
loans to our parent corporation amounting to $52.8 million, subject to certain
conditions. We also make non-interest bearing advances to affiliates, of which
no balance was outstanding as of April 3, 2005 and April 4, 2004. In addition,
no loans were owed by us to other affiliates.
On March 15, 2005, we paid $3.8 million in federal income tax
payments to our parent corporation pursuant to a tax sharing agreement. This
amount is included in the change in net receivable from/payable to related
parties/parent corporations in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
As a result of the foregoing factors, cash and cash equivalents
decreased by $100.0 million during the first quarter of 2005 to $29.5 million.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)
Long-Term Debt
As of April 3, 2005 we had total outstanding consolidated
indebtedness of $740.8 million, including $52.8 million of demand loans to our
parent corporation, of which $152.6 million matures prior to the end of the
first quarter of 2006. We anticipate funding these obligations principally from
our cash on hand, cash flow from operations and/or borrowings under our Senior
Secured Revolving Credit Facility. As of April 3, 2005, the book value of the
collateral securing the Senior Notes and the Senior Secured Revolving Credit
Facility was approximately $1,042.2 million.
Contingencies
See Note 7 to Consolidated Financial Statements for information
regarding contingencies.
Economic Outlook
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our
results of operations during the first quarter of 2005. However, we cannot
assure you that our business will not be affected by inflation in the future, or
by increases in the cost of energy and asphalt purchases used in our
manufacturing process principally due to fluctuating oil prices.
During the first quarter of 2005, the cost of asphalt continued to be
high relative to historical levels. Due to the strength of the Company's
manufacturing operations, which allows us to use many types of asphalt, together
with our ability to secure alternative sources of supply, we do not anticipate
that any future disruption in the supply of asphalt will have a material impact
on future net sales, although no assurances can be provided in that regard.
To mitigate these and other petroleum-based cost increases, we
announced and implemented multiple price increases during the first quarter of
2005. We will attempt to pass on future additional unexpected cost increases
from suppliers as needed; however, no assurances can be provided that these
price increases will be accepted in the marketplace.
Contractual Obligations
We have contracts with several different asphalt terminal suppliers
where asphalt imported from Venezuela or other suppliers is stored prior to its
use at our plants. These asphalt terminals are located at several locations
including the ports of Tampa, Florida and Savannah, Georgia and are used to
service our plants at those sites. We are obligated to pay these suppliers for
use of the terminals under these contracts through 2008. Monthly pricing is
fixed and includes capital improvements made at each asphalt terminal by its
owner. No changes have been made to these contracts during the first quarter of
2005.
27
BUILDING MATERIALS CORPORATION OF AMERICA
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)
On May 7, 2004, we entered into a long-term supply agreement, whereby
we are obligated to purchase certain minimum amounts of dry felt and other
products at fair market value through April 30, 2011. Effective January 31,
2005, this agreement was modified to reduce our minimum purchase obligation for
dry felt and other products by fifty percent. Based on the modification to this
agreement, as of April 3, 2005, our minimum purchase obligation for the life of
the agreement aggregated to $11.1 million.
In December 2004, we entered into a requirements contract with a
supplier to purchase certain glass fiber. Under this contract, we are required
to purchase specified annual quantities of glass fiber through 2014. Pricing for
the glass fiber under this contract may be adjusted upward or downward relating
to various factors including changes in the cost of energy and freight, among
others. Under the requirements contract we have the right to terminate the
contract if, during any two consecutive calendar years, we purchase less than a
specified percentage of our glass fiber requirements. As of December 31, 2004,
if we were to terminate this contract on or after December 31, 2006, as a result
of not having purchased specified quantities of glass fiber during the prior
two-year period, we would be required to pay an amount of not more than $37.3
million to the supplier, although we believe that the actual payment amount
would be substantially less based on the terms of the contract. No changes have
been made to this contract during the first quarter of 2005.
We also have a management agreement with International Specialty
Products Inc., an affiliate, which we refer to as the ISP Management Agreement,
to provide us with certain management services. The management fees payable
under the ISP Management Agreement are adjusted annually. Based on services
provided to us in 2004 under the ISP Management Agreement, the aggregate amount
payable to ISP under the ISP Management Agreement for 2005, is not yet available
and is estimated to be approximately the same as the $5.6 million paid in 2004.
For a further discussion on the ISP Management Agreement reference is made to
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, "Intercompany Transactions" in our 2004 Form 10-K.
We purchase substantially all of our colored roofing granules and
algae-resistant granules under a long-term requirements contract with
International Specialty Products, Inc., which we refer to as ISP. The amount of
mineral products purchased each year under the ISP contract is based on current
demand and is not subject to minimum purchase requirements. For the first
quarter ended April 3, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004, we purchased
$25.1 and $98.2 million, respectively, of mineral products from ISP under this
contract.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which we
refer to as FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, which we
refer to as SFAS, No. 151 "Inventory Costs," which we refer to as SFAS No.
28
BUILDING MATERIALS CORPORATION OF AMERICA
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)
151, which clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility
expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS No. 151
amends Accounting Research Bulletin, which we refer to as ARB, No. 43, Chapter 4
"Inventory Pricing," which we refer to as ARB No. 43, and requires abnormal
inventory costs to be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether
they meet the "so abnormal" criterion outlined in ARB No. 43. SFAS No. 151 also
introduces the concept of "normal capacity" and requires the allocation of fixed
production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production
facilities. Unallocated overheads must be recognized as an expense in the period
in which they are incurred. SFAS No. 151 is effective for costs occurring in
fiscal reporting years beginning after June 15, 2005. As of January 1, 2006 we
will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 151 and do not anticipate any material
effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued a revised SFAS No. 123 "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation," which we refer to as SFAS No. 123(R), which will
require compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be
recognized in the financial statements. SFAS No. 123(R) establishes fair value
as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements
and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement method in
accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. SFAS No. 123(R)
replaces the original SFAS No. 123 and supersedes Accounting Principles Board,
which we refer to as APB, Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees." SFAS No. 123(R) becomes effective beginning with the first annual
reporting period after June 15, 2005. As of April 3, 2005, we currently account
for our 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan under the accounting prescribed by FASB
Interpretation No. 28, "Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other
Variable Stock Option and Award Plans," which we refer to as FIN 28. Since
compensation expense related to our incentive units is currently included in our
consolidated statements of income, we do not expect SFAS No. 123(R) to have an
impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 5 to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153 "Exchanges of
Nonmonetary Assets," which we refer to as SFAS No. 153, which replaces the
exception from fair value measurement in APB Opinion No. 29 "Accounting for
Nonmonetary Transactions," for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive
assets. SFAS No. 153 replaces this exception with a general exception from fair
value measurement for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have
commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the
future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result
of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges
occurring in fiscal reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2005. As of July
4, 2005, we will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 153 and do not anticipate
having any nonmonetary asset exchanges.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position, which we refer to
as FSP, FIN 46(R)-5 "Implicit Variable Interests Under FASB Interpretation
29
BUILDING MATERIALS CORPORATION OF AMERICA
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)
No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," which we refer to as
FSP FIN 46(R)-5. FSP FIN 46(R)-5 offers additional guidance to FIN 46(R) stating
that implicit variable interests are implied financial interests in an entity
that change with changes in the fair value of the entity's net assets exclusive
of variable interests. FSP FIN 46(R)-5 is effective during a company's first
reporting period after March 3, 2005; accordingly we will adopt FSP FIN 46(R)-5
during our second quarter ended July 3, 2005. At April 3, 2005, we did not have
any interests in variable interest entities; therefore we do not expect FSP FIN
46(R)-5 or FIN 46(R) to have an impact on our financial condition or results of
operations.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47 "Accounting
for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations," which we refer to as FIN 47,
which clarifies how the term conditional asset retirement obligation is used in
SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which we refer to as
SFAS No. 143. SFAS No. 143 provides for a legal obligation to perform an asset
retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are
conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the
entity. FIN 47 provides factors for when a reasonable estimate of the fair value
of the obligation can be determined and indicators which would preclude an
entity from recognizing a liability for such obligations. FIN 47 is effective
for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. We will adopt FIN 47 during our
fiscal year ending December 31, 2005 and expect there to be no impact on our
financial condition or results of operations.
