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 is presented at fair value.
Fair value is determined to be the greater of $47.75 per share, the
preferred stock's minimum conversion value, or the market price per
share of Company common stock. The investment in preferred stock at
September 30, 1995 represents 5,422,006 shares, valued at a market
price per share of $55.50. At September 30, 1994, the investment in
preferred stock reflects 5,479,762 shares, 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.
During the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, distributions
were made to participants of $2,907,999 representing 57,756 shares,
$2,508,168 representing 49,609 shares, and $2,334,716 representing 48,894
shares, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements, (Continued)
4. Realized Gain
-------------
During the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, the number of shares of
preferred stock redeemed at prices per share in excess of $47.75 totaled
30,660 and 21,012, respectively. The amount of redemption proceeds in
excess of the minimum conversion value totaled $202,717 in 1995 and
$156,242 in 1994.
5. 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.
6. 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 8.35% on the Series A Guaranteed Serial ESOP Notes due
1989-2001 ($120,362,403 and $129,911,403 at September 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively) and 8.92% on the Series B Guaranteed Serial ESOP Notes due
2001-2004 ($120,043,000 at September 30, 1995 and 1994). The scheduled
amortization of the notes for the next five fiscal years is as follows:
1996 - $12,023,000; 1997 - $14,801,000; 1998 - $17,908,000; 1999 -
$21,392,000; 2000 -$25,277,000.
7. 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.
8. Federal Income Taxes
--------------------
By a letter dated February 13, 1996, the Internal Revenue Service has
determined and informed the Company that the plan qualifies under the
applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and is therefore exempt
from federal income taxes.
