Note 3. Nonrecurring Charges
In July 1998, the Company recorded a pre-tax nonrecurring charge of $7.6
million related to a grant to its former President and Chief Executive Officer
of 30,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company (a portion of which
such officer transferred to trusts for the benefit of his children) and related
cash payments to be made over a period of time (substantially all of which was
earned) in connection with the termination by an affiliate of preferred stock
options and stock appreciation rights held by such officer. Of the $7.6 million
charge, $2.5 million represented the value as of the date of grant of the 30,000
shares of restricted common stock, and $5.1 million represented the aggregate
amount of the cash payments to which such officer was entitled (subject to
certain future vesting requirements). The shares of restricted stock are subject
to certain rights of the Company to purchase, and of such
6
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 3. Nonrecurring Charges (Continued)
officer and the trusts to sell to the Company, such shares at Book Value
(as defined).
Effective June 30, 1999, such officer terminated his employment with the
Company. In connection with this termination, the Company's obligation to such
officer to pay an aggregate of $3.0 million (representing the balance of the
cash payments described above) was cancelled and treated as a capital
contribution. Accordingly, such amount has been reflected as an increase in
additional paid-in-capital. In addition, the Company expects the agreement
between the Company and such officer and the trusts relating to the restricted
common stock will be terminated and that the restricted common stock will be
cancelled or exchanged in consideration for equity to be issued to such officer
and the trusts in one or more parents of the Company.
Note 4: 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
then-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 26, 1999, it is defending
approximately 126,000 pending alleged Asbestos Claims (having received notice of
approximately 30,200 new Asbestos Claims during the first six months of 1999)
and has resolved approximately 311,500 Asbestos Claims (including approximately
18,000 in the first six months of 1999). GAF's current estimated average cost
for Asbestos Claims resolved in 1998 (including Asbestos Claims disposed of at
no cost to GAF) is approximately $3,600 per claim. There can be no assurance
that the actual costs of resolving pending and future Asbestos Claims will
approximate GAF's estimated average costs for the Asbestos Claims resolved in
1998.
GAF has stated that it is committed to effecting a comprehensive resolution
of Asbestos Claims and that it is exploring a number of options 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.
Should GAF or GAFBMC be unable to satisfy judgments against it in
asbestos-related lawsuits, its judgment creditors might seek to enforce their
judgments against the assets of GAF or GAFBMC, including its holdings of common
stock of
7
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 4: Contingencies (Continued)
the Company, and such enforcement could result in a change of control with
respect to the Company.
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, results of operations 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"), held 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 GAF incurring liabilities
significantly in excess of the deferred tax liability of $131.4 million that it
recorded in 1990 in connection with this matter. GAF has advised the Company
that it believes that it will prevail in this matter, although there can be no
assurance in this regard. However, if GAF is unsuccessful in challenging its tax
deficiency notice, the ability of GAF to satisfy its tax obligation would be
dependent on the cash flows of the Company and GFC. 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. 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 GAF be unable to
satisfy such liability.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 5. New Accounting Standard
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded in
the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value.
SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized
currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.
Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and
losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement.
SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, but
may be adopted earlier. If the Company had adopted SFAS No. 133 as of January 1,
1999, there would have been no significant impact on results of operations. The
Company has not yet determined the timing, method or effect on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets of adoption of SFAS No. 133.
Note 6. Subsequent Event
Effective July 9, 1999, the Company called for the redemption on August 16,
1999 of the remaining $29.9 million of the Company's 11 3/4% Senior Deferred
Coupon Notes due 2004. The redemption price is 105.875% of the principal amount
outstanding plus accrued interest up to the redemption date. The call premium in
connection with the extinguishment of such debt will be recorded as an
extraordinary item, net of tax, of approximately $1.1 million, in the third
quarter of 1999.
Note 7. Guarantor Financial Information
Effective January 1, 1999, Building Materials Corporation of America
("BMCA" or "Parent Company") transferred all of its investment assets and
intellectual property assets to Building Materials Investment Corporation
("BMIC"), a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary. In connection with this
transfer, BMIC agreed to guarantee all of the Company's obligations under the
Company's bank credit facility (the "Credit Agreement"), 11 3/4% Senior Deferred
Coupon Notes due 2004 (the "Deferred Coupon Notes"), and the Company's 7 3/4%
Senior Notes due 2005, the 8 5/8% Senior Notes due 2006, the 8% Senior Notes due
2007 (the "2007 Notes") and the 8% Senior Notes due 2008 (collectively, the
"Other Senior Notes"). BMCA also transferred all of its manufacturing assets,
other than those located in Texas, to Building Materials Manufacturing
Corporation ("BMMC"), another newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary. In
connection with this transfer, BMMC agreed to become a co-obligor on the 2007
Notes and to guarantee the Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement, the
Deferred Coupon Notes and the Other Senior Notes. The guarantees of BMIC and
BMMC are full, unconditional and joint and several.
In addition, in connection with the above transactions, the Company and
BMMC entered into license agreements, effective January 1, 1999, for the right
to use intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, know-how, and
franchise rights owned by BMIC for a license fee stated as a percentage of net
sales. The license agreements are for a period of one year and can be terminated
with 60 days written notice. Also, effective January 1, 1999, BMMC will sell all
finished goods to the Company at a manufacturing profit.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations - Second Quarter 1999 Compared With
Second Quarter 1998
The Company recorded second quarter 1999 net income of $14.7 million
compared with $11.0 million in the second quarter of 1998. The 33.6% increase in
net income was primarily the result of higher operating and other income, net,
partially offset by increased interest expense.
The Company's net sales for the second quarter of 1999 were $310.5 million,
an 8.5% increase over second quarter 1998 sales of $286.2 million. The sales
growth was due to net sales gains in residential products together with the
inclusion of the LL Building Products, Inc. business, acquired in June 1998,
partially offset by declines in commercial roofing products. The increase in net
sales of the Company's residential roofing products reflected higher sales
volumes and average selling prices, while the decline in net sales of commercial
roofing products resulted from lower sales volumes and average selling prices.
Operating income for the second quarter of 1999 was $29.1 million, a 9.0%
increase compared with $26.7 million in the second quarter of 1998. The improved
operating income was achieved due to a reduction in selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales to 20.1% in the second
quarter of 1999 from 20.4% in the second quarter of 1998 and the inclusion of
the LL Building Products, Inc. business, partially offset by a decline in the
gross margin from 30.0% in 1998 to 29.7% in 1999. The decline in the gross
margin was attributable to lower average pricing, partially offset by reduced
manufacturing costs.
Interest expense for the second quarter of 1999 was $12.9 million compared
with $12.7 million in the same period in 1998, due primarily to higher average
borrowings, partially offset by lower average interest rates. The lower average
interest rates resulted from the refinancing of $279.7 million in aggregate
principal amount at maturity of the Company's 11 3/4% Senior Deferred Coupon
Notes due 2004 with substantially all of the net proceeds from the issuances of
$150 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's 7 3/4% Senior Notes
due 2005 and $155 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's 8%
Senior Notes due 2008 in July and December 1998, respectively.
Other income, net, for the second quarter of 1999 was $7.1 million compared
with $4.1 million in the second quarter of 1998, with the increase resulting
from higher investment income.
Results of Operations - Six Months 1999 Compared With
Six Months 1998
For the first six months of 1999, the Company recorded net income of $15.8
million compared with $13.2 million for the first six months of 1998. The 19.7%
increase in net income resulted from higher operating income and lower interest
expense, partially offset by lower other income, net.
The Company's net sales for the first six months of 1999 were $573.4
million, a 15.0% increase over last year's sales of $498.7 million. The sales
18
growth was due to net sales gains in residential roofing products together with
the inclusion of the LL Building Products, Inc. business, acquired in June 1998,
partially offset by lower net sales in commercial roofing products. The increase
in net sales of residential roofing products resulted from higher sales volumes
and average selling prices, while the decline in net sales of commercial roofing
products resulted from lower average selling prices.
Operating income for the first six months of 1999 was $43.2 million
compared with $32.7 million for the first six months of 1998. The 32.1%
improvement in operating income was attributable to higher gross profit margins
due to improved pricing administration and reduced manufacturing costs, together
with the inclusion of the LL Building Products, Inc. business. Partially
offsetting these improvements were higher selling, general and administrative
expenses due to the LL Building Products, Inc. acquisition and costs incurred to
achieve the higher net sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses for
the first six months of 1999, as a percentage of net sales, declined to 20.7%
from 21.3% for the same period in 1998.
Interest expense declined to $24.7 million for the first six months of 1999
from $25.4 million for the same period in 1998, due primarily to lower average
interest rates, partially offset by higher average borrowings.
Other income, net, for the first six months of 1999 was $6.6 million
compared with $14.4 million in the same period in 1998. The decline was
principally due to lower investment income and higher other expenses.
Liquidity and Financial Condition
Net cash outflow during the first six months of 1999 was $15.5 million
before financing activities, and included the use of $19.4 million of cash for
operations, the reinvestment of $26.7 million for capital programs, and the
generation of $30.5 million from net sales of available-for-sale and
held-to-maturity securities and other short-term investments.
Cash invested in additional working capital totaled $87.6 million during
the first six months of 1999, primarily reflecting a seasonal increase in
inventories of $31.4 million and a $61.9 million increase in receivables,
including an $8.8 million increase in the receivable from the trust which
purchases certain of the Company's trade accounts receivable, partially offset
by a $6.6 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The net
cash used for operating activities was net of a $99.8 million cash inflow from
net sales of trading securities and also included a $62.0 million net cash
outflow for related party transactions, which included $68.7 million of advances
to the Company's parent companies.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $43.6 million during the
first six months of 1999, mainly reflecting $43.5 million in proceeds from the
sale of the Company's trade receivables and $3.5 million proceeds from the
issuance of an industrial revenue bond.
As a result of the foregoing factors, cash and cash equivalents increased
by $28.1 million during the first six months of 1999 to $53.0 million, excluding
$65.7 million of trading and available-for-sale securities and other short-term
investments.

See Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding
contingencies.
Year 2000 Compliance
The Company has implemented a Year 2000 program (i) to address its year
2000 issues, i.e., the inability of some IT and non-IT equipment, including
embedded technology, to accurately read and process certain dates in the year
2000 and afterwards, (ii) to investigate the Year 2000 issues of third parties
significant to the Company's business, and (iii) to establish contingency plans
where appropriate.
The Company has completed an internal study and believes it has remediated
substantially all of its core systems. The Company has also evaluated and
believes it has remediated substantially all of its personal computers,
mainframe computers and computer network. The Company believes that the core IT
systems remediation has corrected Year 2000 programming issues in all critical
areas of the Company's business.
The Company's independent third party consultants have inventoried and
evaluated substantially all of the Company's non-IT equipment, i.e., voice mail,
telephone, fire and security systems, numerically controlled production
machinery and computer-based production equipment, and the Company is in the
process of remediating and testing this equipment. The Company expects to
complete these activities by the end of the third quarter of 1999.
The Company has requested compliance information in the form of
questionnaires sent to significant vendors and customers. When appropriate, a
lack of a response to these questionnaires was followed by direct contact. The
Company has received compliance information from substantially all of its
significant vendors and customers. Each of these significant vendors and
customers has advised the Company that they are or expect to be ready for the
Year 2000 by the end of 1999.
Notwithstanding the compliance information received from vendors, the
Company is moving forward with contingency plans that include the identification
of secondary suppliers to minimize the impact of any Year 2000 related issues
that may develop. The secondary suppliers are being contacted in the form of
direct questionnaires to determine their readiness for Year 2000 issues. The
Company expects this phase of the project to be completed by the end of the
third quarter of 1999.
The Company does not believe the costs of its Year 2000 program will be
material to its financial position or results of operations. The Company has
incurred outside costs of approximately $800,000 to date and anticipates that
additional outside costs should approximate no more than an additional $200,000
in the aggregate. The Company will charge these costs, as incurred, against
results of operations.
Management believes it has taken reasonable steps in developing its Year
2000 program. Notwithstanding these actions, there can be no assurance that all
of the Company's Year 2000 issues or those of its key suppliers, service
providers or customers will be resolved or addressed satisfactorily before the
year 2000 commences. Management believes that the most reasonably likely "worst
case scenario" resulting from Year 2000 issues could be the failure by the
Company's key suppliers, service providers, customers and other third
20
parties to address their Year 2000 issues. If this were to occur, then the
Company's usual channels of supply and distribution could be disrupted and the
Company could experience a material adverse impact on its business, results of
operations or financial position.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK
Reference is made to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations in the Form 10-K for a discussion of
"Market-Sensitive Instruments and Risk Management." As of December 31, 1998,
equity-related financial instruments employed by the Company to reduce market
risk included long contracts valued at $35.2 million and short contracts valued
at $143.2 million. At July 4, 1999, the Company had no remaining long contracts
and the value of short contracts was $2.1 million. Since the Company
marks-to-market such instruments each month, there was no economic cost to the
Company to terminate these instruments.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Plaintiffs Joseph Rossi, Rossi Florence Corp. and Rossi Roofing Inc. filed
a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey
on December 24, 1992 against several roofing and siding manufacturers, including
GAF Building Materials Corporation, several roofing and siding distributors and
one national purchasing cooperative, alleging that defendants participated in a
group boycott against plaintiffs to keep plaintiffs from competing in the
Northern New Jersey roofing and siding distribution market in violation of the
Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. section 1, et seq., and state antitrust laws. Plaintiffs
also asserted a tortious interference claim against defendants under New Jersey
state law. Plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages, including treble and
punitive damages, and attorney's fees. The District Court entered summary
judgment in favor of GAF Building Materials Corporation and four other
defendants in March 1997. The United States Court of Appeals for the Third
Circuit reversed the District Court's judgment with respect to GAF Building
Materials Corporation and two other defendants. The matter is scheduled for
trial in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in
September 1999. In connection with its formation, the Company assumed any
liability that may arise from this action. GAF Building Materials Corporation
has advised the Company that it intends to defend this action vigorously and
believes that it will prevail on all of plaintiffs' claims, although there can
be no assurance in this regard.
