NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Building Materials Corporation of America (the "Company") is a wholly-
owned subsidiary of GAF Building Materials Corporation ("GAFBMC"), which is an
indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of G-I Holdings Inc. ("G-I Holdings"). G-I
Holdings is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GAF Corporation ("GAF"). 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 June 28, 1998, and the results of operations and cash flows
for the periods ended June 29, 1997 and June 28, 1998. 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,
1997 (the "Form 10-K").
Note 1: Comprehensive Income
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods is required. In
the Company's case, comprehensive income includes net income, unrealized gains
and losses from investments in available-for-sale securities, and pension
liability adjustments.

Note 3: Acquisition
Effective June 1, 1998, the Company purchased for approximately $43.5
million substantially all of the assets of Leslie-Locke Inc. ("Leslie-Locke"),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Leslie Building Products, Inc., which manufactures
and markets a variety of specialty building products and accessories for the
professional and do-it-yourself remodeling and residential construction
industries from manufacturing facilities in Burgaw, North Carolina and Compton,
California. Leslie-Locke had 1997 sales of approximately $90 million. The
acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The
results of Leslie-Locke are included from the date of acquisition and are not
material to the results presented in the foregoing financial statements. This
acquisition, if it had occurred on January 1, 1998, would not have had a
material impact on results of operations for the six months ended June 28,
1998.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 4: Termination of Interest Rate Swap Agreements
In June 1998, the Company terminated interest rate swap agreements related
to its 11 3/4% Senior Deferred Coupon Notes due 2004 with an aggregate ending
notional principal amount of $60.0 million, resulting in gains of $0.7 million.
The gains have been deferred and will be amortized as a reduction of interest
expense over the remaining original life of the swaps.
Note 5: Contingencies
Asbestos Litigation Against GAF
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") (whether for indemnity or defense) of its parent, GAFBMC, relating to
pending cases and previously settled, but not paid, cases as of January 31,
1994, and no other asbestos liabilities of GAFBMC. As of March 30, 1997, the
Company had paid all of its assumed asbestos-related liabilities.
GAF has advised the Company that, as of June 27, 1998, it is defending
approximately 113,000 pending alleged Asbestos Claims (having received notice
of approximately 55,900 new Asbestos Claims during the first six months of
1998) and has resolved approximately 256,700 Asbestos Claims (including
approximately 22,200 in the first six months of 1998). GAF has advised the
Company that it believes that a significant portion of the claims filed in the
first six months of 1998 were already pending against other defendants for some
period of time, with GAF being added as a defendant upon the lifting in 1997 of
the injunction relating to the Georgine class action settlement. During 1997,
GAF resolved approximately 11,000 Asbestos Claims of which approximately 9,900
were resolved (including Asbestos Claims disposed of at no cost to GAF) for an
average cost of approximately $4,070 per claim. GAF's share of the costs with
respect to approximately 1,100 Asbestos Claims resolved during 1997 has not yet
been determined. There can be no assurance that the actual costs of resolving
pending and future Asbestos Claims will approximate GAF's historic average
costs.
GAF has stated that it is committed to effecting a comprehensive
resolution of Asbestos Claims, that it is exploring a number of options, both
judicial and legislative, to accomplish such resolution, but there can be no
assurance that this effort will be successful.
The Company believes that it will not sustain any additional liability in
connection with asbestos-related claims. While the Company cannot predict
whether any asbestos-related claims will be asserted against it or its assets,
or the outcome of any litigation relating to such claims, it believes that it
has meritorious defenses to such claims. Moreover, it has been jointly and
severally indemnified by G-I Holdings and GAFBMC with respect to such claims.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 5. Contingencies (Continued)
For further information regarding the history of the foregoing litigation
and asbestos-related matters, see "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" and Note 3 to
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Form 10-K.
Environmental Litigation
The Company, together with other companies, is a party to a variety of
proceedings and lawsuits involving environmental matters ("Environmental
Claims"), in which recovery is sought for the cost of cleanup of contaminated
sites, a number of which Environmental Claims are in the early stages or have
been dormant for protracted periods. 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 business, liquidity, results
of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company.
For further information regarding environmental matters and other
litigation, reference is made to "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" contained in the
Company's Form 10-K.
Tax Claim Against GAF
On September 15, 1997, GAF received a notice from the Internal Revenue
Service (the "Service") 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 a subsidiary of GAF, GAF Fiberglass
Corporation ("GFC"), holds an interest. The claim of the Service for interest
and penalties, after taking into account the effect on the use of net operating
losses and foreign tax credits, could result in GFC incurring liabilities
significantly in excess of the deferred tax liability of $131.4 million that
GAF recorded in 1990 in connection with this matter. GAF has advised the
Company that it believes that GFC will prevail in this matter, 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
financial position or results of operations. GAF, G-I Holdings and certain
subsidiaries of GAF have agreed to jointly and severally indemnify the Company
against any tax liability associated with the surfactants partnership, which
the Company would be severally liable for, together with GAF and several
current and former subsidiaries of GAF, should GFC be unable to satisfy such
liability.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 6. Subsequent Events
On July 15, 1998, the Company recorded a nonrecurring charge of $7.6
million related to a grant to an executive officer of 30,000 shares of
restricted common stock of the Company and certain cash payments to be made to
such officer over a specified time period.
On July 17, 1998, the Company issued $150 million in aggregate principal
amount at maturity of 7 3/4% Senior Notes due 2005. As of August 11, 1998, the
Company had used a portion of the net proceeds from this issue to purchase (and
subsequently cancel), $132.6 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity
of the Company's 11 3/4% Senior Deferred Coupon Notes due 2004. In connection
with this purchase, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $9.3 million
in July 1998.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations - Second Quarter 1998 Compared With
Second Quarter 1997
The Company recorded second quarter 1998 net income of $11.0 million
compared with $10.1 million in the second quarter of 1997. The 8.9% increase
in net income reflected higher operating and other income, partially offset by
increased interest expense.
The Company's net sales for the second quarter of 1998 were $286.2
million, an 11.8% increase over last year's sales of $255.9 million. The net
sales gains occurred in both the residential and commercial product lines. The
increase in residential net sales reflected both higher unit volumes and higher
average selling prices, while the increase in net sales of commercial roofing
products was primarily from higher unit volumes.
Operating income for the second quarter of 1998 was $26.7 million compared
with $24.9 million in the second quarter of 1997. The 7.2% improvement in
operating income was achieved due to an improved gross margin offset by higher
distribution costs, primarily due to rail carrier service problems in certain
regions of the country requiring the use of higher-cost transportation
alternatives and by increased selling and administrative expenses related to
expanded marketing efforts. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased by 16.1% to $59.0 million compared with last year's $50.8 million.
Interest expense increased to $12.7 million in the second quarter of 1998
from $10.3 million last year due to higher debt levels, mainly reflecting the
issuance in October 1997 of $100 million in aggregate principal amount at
maturity of 8% Senior Notes due 2007. Other income, net, was $4.1 million for
the second quarter compared with $1.9 million last year, reflecting higher
investment income and lower other expenses, principally legal expenses from
certain litigation in the prior year.
Results of Operations - Six Months 1998 Compared With
Six Months 1997
For the first six months of 1998, the Company recorded net income of $13.2
million compared with $11.9 million for the first six months of 1997. The
10.9% increase in net income resulted from higher investment income, partially
offset by lower operating income and higher interest expense.
The Company's net sales for the first six months of 1998 were $498.7
million, an 11.0% increase over last year's sales of $449.3 million. The net
sales growth occurred in both the residential and commercial product lines and
resulted primarily from higher unit sales volumes.
10
Operating income for the first six months of 1998 was $32.7 million
compared with $34.2 million in the first six months of 1997. The decline in
operating income was attributable to higher distribution costs due to rail
service problems and higher selling and administrative expenses resulting from
broader marketing efforts, partially offset by the impact of higher product
sales and lower manufacturing costs. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased by 17.1% to $107.4 million compared with last year's $91.7
million.
Interest expense increased to $25.4 million in the first six months of
1998 from $20.1 million last year due to higher debt levels, mainly reflecting
the issuance in October 1997 of $100 million in aggregate principal amount at
maturity of 8% Senior Notes due 2007. Other income, net, was $14.4 million
compared with $5.4 million last year, principally reflecting higher investment
income.
Liquidity and Financial Condition
Net cash inflow during the first six months of 1998 was $68.2 million
before financing activities, and included $70.9 million of cash generated from
operations, the reinvestment of $23.5 million for capital programs, the
acquisition of Leslie-Locke, Inc. for $43.5 million (see Note 3 to Consolidated
Financial Statements), and the generation of $64.3 million from net sales of
available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities.
Cash invested in additional working capital totaled $43.9 million during
the first six months of 1998, primarily reflecting a seasonal increase in
inventories of $31.9 million and a $26.8 million increase in receivables,
partially offset by a $16.6 million increase in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities. Accrued liabilities increased by $21.5 million to $47.8 million
as a result of additional accrued interest payable and seasonal increases in
accrued distribution costs and other plant operating accruals. Cash from
operating activities also reflected a $46.0 million cash inflow as a result of
repayments of advances by GAF, G-I Holdings and their subsidiaries which were
made by the Company in 1997, and a $16.1 million cash inflow from net sales of
trading securities.
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $47.0 million during the
first six months of 1998, mainly reflecting a $34.0 million paydown of
borrowings under the Company's bank revolving credit facility and a $24.8
million decrease in short-term borrowings, partially offset by a $6.2 million
cash inflow from the repayment of a loan by a related party and $7.5 million
proceeds from the sale of receivables.
As a result of the foregoing factors, cash and cash equivalents increased
by $21.1 million during the first six months of 1998 to $34.1 million
(excluding $145.2 million of trading and available-for-sale securities and
other short-term investments).
In June 1998, the Company terminated interest rate swap agreements related
to its 11 3/4% Senior Deferred Coupon Notes due 2004 with an aggregate ending
notional principal amount of $60.0 million, resulting in gains of $0.7 million.
The gains have been deferred and will be amortized as a reduction of interest
expense over the remaining original life of the swaps.
11
On July 17, 1998, the Company issued $150 million in aggregate principal
amount at maturity of 7 3/4% Senior Notes due 2005. The Company used a portion
of the net proceeds from this issue to purchase (and subsequently cancel)
$132.6 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Company's
11 3/4% Senior Deferred Coupon Notes due 2004 ("Deferred Coupon Notes") and
intends to use the remaining net proceeds from this issue to purchase (and
subsequently cancel) up to an additional $17.4 million in aggregate principal
amount at maturity of such Deferred Coupon Notes. If the Company purchases
(and subsequently cancels) an aggregate of $150 million in aggregate principal
amount at maturity of such Deferred Coupon Notes, the Company would record a
total extraordinary loss of approximately $10 million. See Note 6 to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company has significantly upgraded its information systems
capabilities and is in the process of finalizing the roll-out of an interactive
network connecting all of its locations. In conjunction with this initiative,
the Company is addressing its "Year 2000" compliance issues and does not
believe that the costs associated with, or the impact of, these issues will
have a material adverse effect on the operations, liquidity or capital
resources of the Company. At this time, the Company is in the process of
reviewing the Year 2000 compliance of its major suppliers and customers.
From time to time, the Company reviews the reserves established for
estimated probable future warranty claims. The Company is currently
undertaking a review of these reserves and, before the end of the fiscal year,
could increase reserves relating to its residential roofing products by
approximately $6 million to $12 million on an after tax basis.
See Notes 5 and 6 to Consolidated Financial Statements for information
regarding contingencies and subsequent events.
Forward-looking Statements
This Form 10-Q may contain certain "forward-looking statements" intended
to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements
