                             (amounts in thousands)


Eldorado Stone
- --------------

On June 2, 2004, Headwaters acquired 100% of the ownership interests of Eldorado
Stone LLC ("Eldorado") and paid off all of Eldorado's outstanding debt. Eldorado
is based in San Marcos, California and is a leading manufacturer of
architectural manufactured stone. With over 700 distributors, Eldorado provides
Headwaters with a national platform for expanded marketing of "green" building
products, such as mortar and stucco made with reclaimed fly ash from coal
combustion. Headwaters expects Eldorado, which is included in its construction
materials segment, to provide critical mass and improved margins in Headwaters'
efforts to expand the use of fly ash in building products. Eldorado's results of
operations have been included in Headwaters' consolidated statement of income
since June 2, 2004.

At the closing of the Eldorado acquisition, Headwaters paid consideration
consisting of cash payments to the owners of Eldorado of approximately $137,000
and cash payments of approximately $69,600 to retire Eldorado debt and related
accrued interest, for an aggregate purchase price of $206,600, which together
with expenses incurred by Headwaters to consummate the Eldorado acquisition of
approximately $3,800, constitutes total consideration of approximately $210,400.

In connection with the Eldorado acquisition, Headwaters issued $172,500 of new
convertible senior subordinated debt and also borrowed funds under its senior
secured revolving credit arrangement and an arrangement with an investment
company, the latter two of which were repaid in 2004.

Tapco
- -----

On September 8, 2004, Headwaters acquired 100% of the ownership interests of
Tapco Holdings, Inc. ("Tapco") and paid off all of Tapco's outstanding debt.
Tapco is headquartered in Wixom, Michigan and is a leading designer,
manufacturer and marketer of specialty building products and professional tools
used in exterior residential home improvement and construction throughout the
United States and Canada. Headwaters expects the Tapco acquisition to further
diversify Headwaters' cash flow stream away from its historical reliance on
alternative energy. Tapco brings economy of scale and manufacturing expertise
that results in some of the lowest manufacturing costs in the siding accessory
industry, which is expected to improve margins in Headwaters' construction
materials segment. Headwaters may also be able to leverage Tapco's distribution
networks to accelerate sales of Headwaters' diverse construction materials
product portfolio. Tapco's results of operations have been included in
Headwaters' consolidated statement of income beginning September 8, 2004.

At the closing of the Tapco acquisition, Headwaters paid consideration
consisting of cash payments to the owners of Tapco of approximately $388,000 and
cash payments of approximately $327,000 to retire Tapco debt and related accrued
interest, for an aggregate purchase price of $715,000 which, together with
estimated expenses incurred by Headwaters to consummate the Tapco acquisition of
approximately $9,000, constitutes total consideration of approximately $724,000.

                                      -3-


In order to obtain the cash necessary to acquire Tapco, retire the Tapco debt
and preferred stock, and repay Headwaters' existing senior debt, Headwaters
borrowed $790,000 of debt consisting of $640,000 of senior secured debt under a
first lien with a six and one-half-year term and a floating interest rate, and
$150,000 of senior secured debt under a second lien with an eight-year term,
also with a floating interest rate. The senior secured first lien credit
arrangement also includes a $60,000 revolver available to Headwaters which
carries a 0.75% commitment fee on unused amounts and a floating interest rate on
actual borrowings. Headwaters incurred approximately $18,000 of debt issue costs
in connection with the issuance of the new senior debt.

Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Income
- ------------------------------------------------

The pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended
September 30, 2004 gives effect to both acquisitions as if they had occurred on
October 1, 2003. It combines Headwaters' historical results for the year ended
September 30, 2004 with Eldorado's and Tapco's historical results from October
1, 2003 to their respective acquisition dates, after giving effect to necessary
adjustments.

The pro forma condensed combined statement of income is presented for
illustrative purposes only. Such information does not purport to be indicative
of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the
acquisitions occurred on the date indicated, nor is it indicative of the results
that may be expected in future periods. The pro forma adjustments are based upon
information and assumptions available at the time of filing this Form 8-K.

1. Basis of Presentation

The pro forma condensed combined statement of income included herein has been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and certain footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations; however, management believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

2. Acquisition of Eldorado Stone LLC

On June 2, 2004, Headwaters acquired 100% of the ownership interests of Eldorado
Stone LLC ("Eldorado") and paid off all of Eldorado's outstanding debt. Eldorado
is based in San Marcos, California and is a leading manufacturer of
architectural manufactured stone. With over 700 distributors, Eldorado provides
Headwaters with a national platform for expanded marketing of "green" building
products, such as mortar and stucco made with reclaimed fly ash from coal
combustion. Headwaters expects Eldorado, which is included in its construction
materials segment, to provide critical mass and improved margins in Headwaters'
efforts to expand the use of fly ash in building products. Eldorado's results of
operations have been included in Headwaters' consolidated statement of income
since June 2, 2004.

In connection with the Eldorado acquisition, Headwaters issued $172,500 of new
convertible senior subordinated debt and also borrowed funds under its senior
secured revolving credit arrangement and an arrangement with an investment
company, the latter two of which were repaid in 2004. Headwaters incurred
approximately $6,200 of debt issue costs in connection with the issuance of the
convertible senior subordinated debt.

The following table sets forth the total consideration paid for Eldorado:

Cash paid to Eldorado owners                                     $      136,982
Cash paid to retire Eldorado debt and related accrued interest           69,650
Costs directly related to acquisition                                     3,800
                                                                 --------------

The Eldorado acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. The consideration Headwaters paid for Eldorado was negotiated at
arms length and assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their
estimated fair values as of June 2, 2004. Eldorado has experienced significant
growth over the last two years. Eldorado sells its products through an extensive
distribution network. In addition, Eldorado employs a group of talented artists
who create the molds used to produce the manufactured stone product. The quality
of these molds adds significant value to the end product. Eldorado's
manufacturing process, market presence and the quality of its product, including
product design and product breadth, are major elements contributing to
Eldorado's high value and related purchase price. These items, combined with
Eldorado's high growth and extensive distribution network are not separable and,
accordingly, contribute to a significant amount of goodwill. Approximately
$9,034 of the purchase price was allocated to identifiable intangible assets,
consisting primarily of non-compete agreements. The intangible assets are being
amortized over estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years, with a
combined weighted average life of approximately four years. The remaining

purchase price not attributable to the tangible and identifiable intangible
assets was allocated to goodwill, most of which is expected to be tax
deductible. All of the intangible assets and goodwill have been allocated to
Headwaters' construction materials segment.

The following table sets forth a preliminary allocation of the total
consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities
assumed:

       Goodwill                                                     160,263

The determination of the final purchase price is subject to potential
adjustments, including final agreement with the seller of the working capital
acquired at closing. In addition, the purchase price allocation will likely
differ from that reflected above after final asset valuation reports are
received and a detailed review of all assets and liabilities, including income
taxes, has been completed. Pre-acquisition contingencies, which are not
material, are included in the value of liabilities assumed as of June 2, 2004
and any change from the recorded amounts is expected to be immaterial. The final
purchase price allocation is expected to be completed by March 31, 2005. Any
changes to the purchase price allocation are not expected to materially increase
or decrease annual depreciation and amortization expense, but may have a
material effect on the amount of recorded goodwill.

3. Acquisition of Tapco Holdings, Inc.

On September 8, 2004, Headwaters acquired 100% of the ownership interests of
Tapco Holdings, Inc. ("Tapco") and paid off all of Tapco's outstanding debt.
Tapco is headquartered in Wixom, Michigan and is a leading designer,
manufacturer and marketer of specialty building products and professional tools
used in exterior residential home improvement and construction throughout the
United States and Canada. Headwaters expects the Tapco acquisition to further
diversify Headwaters' cash flow stream away from its historical reliance on
alternative energy. Tapco brings economy of scale and manufacturing expertise
that results in some of the lowest manufacturing costs in the siding accessory
industry, which is expected to improve margins in Headwaters' construction
materials segment. Headwaters may also be able to leverage Tapco's distribution
networks to accelerate sales of Headwaters' diverse construction materials
product portfolio. Tapco's results of operations have been included in
Headwaters' consolidated statement of income beginning September 8, 2004.

                             (amounts in thousands)


The following table sets forth the consideration paid to acquire Tapco:

Cash paid to Tapco stockholders                              $      388,297
Cash paid to retire Tapco debt, preferred stock and
  related accrued interest                                          326,703

                                                             --------------
      Total consideration                                    $      724,000
                                                             ==============

In order to obtain the cash necessary to acquire Tapco, retire the Tapco debt
and preferred stock, and repay Headwaters' existing senior debt, Headwaters
borrowed $790,000 of debt consisting of $640,000 of senior secured debt under a
first lien with a six and one-half-year term and a floating interest rate, and
$150,000 of senior secured debt under a second lien with an eight-year term,
also with a floating interest rate. The senior secured first lien credit
arrangement also includes a $60,000 revolver available to Headwaters which
carries a 0.75% commitment fee on unused amounts and a floating interest rate on
actual borrowings. Headwaters incurred approximately $18,000 of debt issue costs
in connection with the issuance of the new senior debt.

The Tapco acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
The consideration Headwaters paid for Tapco was negotiated at arms length and
assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair
values as of September 8, 2004. Tapco has a leading market share in most of its
product lines with some lines having a market share greater than 75%. Tapco has
the ability to deliver its products within a few days of receiving the order
which is appealing to architects, contractors and end users of the product.
Tapco also offers wide-ranging product choices delivered through an extensive
distribution network throughout the United States. Tapco's products,
manufacturing process and distributors are currently substantially different
than those utilized by Headwaters' other business units and a substantial amount
of sales relate to the remodeling industry. As such, Tapco may further mitigate
the cyclical nature of Headwaters' construction materials business in the
future. Tapco's primary value, therefore, is due to its significant market
presence and manufacturing efficiencies. These values are largely the result of
Tapco's manufacturing and distribution capacities, product breadth and workforce
which are not separable and, accordingly, contribute to a significant amount of
goodwill

Approximately $167,300 of the estimated purchase price was allocated to
estimated identifiable intangible assets consisting primarily of customer
relationships, trade names, and patents. The estimated intangible assets have
estimated average useful lives ranging from two to twenty years, with a combined
weighted average life of approximately 15 years. The remaining purchase price
not attributable to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets was
allocated to goodwill, which is not expected to be tax deductible. All of the
intangible assets and goodwill will be allocated to Headwaters' construction
materials segment.

The final purchase price and the allocation thereof will differ from that
reflected above after final fixed asset and intangible asset valuation reports
are received and a detailed review of all assets and liabilities, including
income taxes, has been completed. The final purchase price allocation is
expected to be completed by June 30, 2005. The final purchase price allocation
is not expected to materially increase or decrease annual depreciation and
amortization expense from the amounts recorded in 2004 and the amounts expected
to be recorded in future periods, nor is it expected to have a material effect
on the identified assets or liabilities, including goodwill.

4. Pro Forma Statement of Income and Adjustments

The pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended
September 30, 2004 gives effect to both acquisitions as if they had occurred on
October 1, 2003. It combines Headwaters' historical results for the year ended
September 30, 2004 with Eldorado's and Tapco's historical results from October
1, 2003 to their respective acquisition dates, after giving effect to necessary
adjustments.

The pro forma condensed combined statement of income is presented for
illustrative purposes only. Such information does not purport to be indicative
of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the
acquisitions occurred on the date indicated, nor is it indicative of the results
that may be expected in future periods. The pro forma adjustments are based upon
information and assumptions available at the time of filing this Form 8-K.

The pro forma condensed combined statement of income gives effect to the
following pro forma adjustments:

         A        Elimination of Eldorado's historical amortization of
                  intangible assets.

         B        Adjustment to amortize Eldorado's new intangible assets,
                  $9,034, over estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten
                  years, with a combined weighted average life of approximately
                  4 years. New intangible assets primarily include non-compete
                  agreements.

         C        Elimination of Tapco's historical amortization of intangible
                  assets.

         D        Adjustment to amortize Tapco's new intangibles, $167,300, over
                  estimated useful lives ranging from two to twenty years, with
                  a combined weighted average life of approximately 15 years.
                  New intangible assets primarily include customer
                  relationships, trade names, and patents.

         E        Elimination of Tapco's accounting and legal fees related to
                  the acquisition and elimination of stock compensation expense
                  from redemption of common stock options related to the
                  acquisition.

         F        Elimination of Eldorado's interest on pre-acquisition debt
                  retired by Headwaters at closing.

         G        Elimination of Eldorado's historical amortization of deferred
                  financing costs.

         H        Adjustment to record interest for amortization of new debt
                  issuance costs of $6,200 on issuance of $172,500 of
                  convertible senior subordinated debt issued for the Eldorado
                  acquisition, using an effective seven-year life.

                  debt, issued in connection with the Eldorado acquisition,
                  using a 3.36% effective interest rate. The effect of a 1/8%
                  change in the effective interest rate would be approximately
                  $55.2 per year.

         J        Adjustment to record interest on new $172,500 2.875% long-term

                  credit (unused as of date of acquisition), 2) $640 million of
                  senior debt under a 1st lien and, 3) $150 million of senior
                  debt under a 2nd lien. The debt issuance costs are amortized
                  using a weighted-average approximate seven-year life.

         N        Adjustment to record interest on new $640 million long-term
