ARMSTRONG WORLD INDUSTRIES, INC.
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Plan Description
----------------
Armstrong World Industries, Inc. (the Company) established the Armstrong
World Industries, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the Plan) in 1989.
The Plan, which is both a stock bonus plan with a cash or deferred
arrangement and an employee stock ownership plan, is designed to attract
and keep employees possessing the qualities required for future growth of
the Company. The Plan intends to provide such employees with additional
incentive for enhanced performance by permitting eligible employees to
acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and to accumulate capital for
future economic security.
All employees of the Company and of certain domestic subsidiaries, who are at
least twenty-one years of age and have completed one year of service, are
eligible to participate in the Plan except for foreign nationals, leased
employees, and those employees in a collective bargaining unit unless the
collective bargaining agent for that unit agrees to coverage under the Plan.
Under the Plan, participants receive interest in shares of Company
preferred stock held by the trust established under the Plan. The shares of
Company preferred stock held by the trust were purchased from the Company
from the proceeds of the sale of the Guaranteed ESOP notes in a total
principal amount of $270,000,000 in 1989. All shares of preferred stock
acquired with the proceeds of the notes are held in a suspense account and
released to members' accounts as the notes are repaid. The shares are
released in proportion to the ratio of the proportion of principal and
interest paid down by any debt payment to the total principal and interest
to be paid over the life of the notes.
The Plan maintains three accounts for each member for contributions and
allocations of shares from the suspense account. Participants who elect to
reduce their before-tax compensation in amounts ranging from one percent to
four percent (exchange contributions) will have such amounts credited to an
exchange contribution account. Shares released from the suspense account
will be first allocated to members' exchange contribution accounts with a
value as of the allocation date equal to the amount of their exchange
contributions.
Shares released from the suspense account not used for the purpose of
exchange allocations will be allocated to members' equity accounts (equity
allocations) based on an established shares released schedule. The equity
account is intended to provide a source of funds to replace certain retiree
medical benefits which were phased-out in conjunction with the adoption of
this Plan. The allocation schedule, therefore, is designed to provide
greater allocation of shares to older employees.
If any shares released from the suspense account remain unallocated after
the exchange and equity allocations, such shares will be allocated to
members' bonus accounts in proportion to the ratio of exchange
contributions made by a member to the exchange contributions made by all
members.
Participants have an immediate 100 percent vested interest with respect to
their exchange contributions. Interest in the Equity and Bonus Accounts
vest after five years of service.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
(a) Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on an
accrual basis.
(b) Investment in Armstrong World Industries, Inc., Preferred Stock
---------------------------------------------------------------
According to the terms of the trust agreement between Mellon Bank,
N.A., the Trustee, and Armstrong World Industries, Inc., the Trustee
manages a trust fund that has been created under the Plan and has been
granted authority to purchase and sell stock of the Company as is
necessary to administer the Plan in accordance with its terms.
The investment in Company preferred stock at September 30, 1993 and
1992, represents 5,529,371 and 5,578,265 shares, respectively,
purchased at a cost per share of $47.75. Each share of preferred stock
is convertible into one share of Company common stock. A dividend of
$3.462 per share per annum is payable semi-annually on the preferred
stock held in the trust. The preferred stock is redeemable at the
option of the holder at a redemption price of $47.75 per share plus
accrued but unpaid dividends.
(c) Expenses
--------
All costs and expenses incurred in administering the Trust and the
Plan are paid by the Company.
3. Benefits
--------
Upon death or any other separation from service from the Company,
participants are entitled to receive a distribution of their vested ESOP
account. Distributions are in the form of a lump sum cash payment or, upon
request, Company common stock. Participants entitled to a distribution can
direct the Trustee to either sell their ESOP Preferred Shares to the
Company at a per share price of $47.75 or convert the shares into shares of
Company common stock on a one-for-one basis. Participants then may elect to
receive their entire ESOP account balance in cash or Company common stock.
During the years ended September 30, 1993 and 1992, distributions were made
to participants of $2,334,716, representing 48,894 shares, and $1,303,347
representing 27,296 shares, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements, (Continued)
4. Plan Termination
----------------
While it is intended to be permanent, the Plan may be terminated at anytime
by the Company's Board of Directors. Upon Plan termination, all
participants become fully vested in their entire ESOP account balance. Any
unallocated shares held by the Trust will be either sold to the Company or
converted to Company common stock and then sold to the Company or sold on
the open market, whichever produces the greatest cash proceeds. The cash
proceeds will be used to satisfy any outstanding Guaranteed ESOP notes,
with the balance of any excess proceeds being allocated to individual ESOP
account balances on a pro-rated basis.
5. Guaranteed ESOP Notes
---------------------
The Company has guaranteed the payment of principal and interest on the
notes. The notes must be repaid in semi-annual installments with interest
per annum at 8.43% on the Series A Guaranteed Serial ESOP Notes due 1989-
2001 ($137,260,403 and $142,658,403 at September 30, 1993 and 1992,
respectively) and 9.0% on the Series B Guaranteed Serial ESOP Notes due
2001-2004 ($120,043,000 at September 30, 1993 and 1992). The scheduled
amortization of the notes for the next five fiscal years is as follows:
1994 - $7,349,000; 1995 - $9,549,000; 1996 - $12,023,000; 1997 -
$14,801,000; 1998 - $17,908,000.
6. Company Contributions
---------------------
The Company is obligated to make semi-annual contributions in cash or
Company stock to the Plan, on June 15 and December 15 of each year, which
when aggregated with all exchange contributions, dividends received by the
Trustee on the preferred stock held by the Trust, and trust earnings, is at
least equal to the amount necessary to enable the Trustee to pay currently
maturing obligations under the Guaranteed ESOP notes.
7. Federal Income Taxes
--------------------
The Plan has received a letter of favorable determination for tax
qualifications from the Internal Revenue Service on August 20, 1991.
Accordingly, the Plan qualifies under the provisions of Sections 401(a),
401(k), and 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code and is exempt from
federal income taxes.

as of September 30, 1993 and 1992 and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for each of the years in the three-year

responsibility of the plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as 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 financial position of the Armstrong World Industries,
Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan as of September 30, 1993 and 1992 and the
