Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to
simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the
following provisions:

         [ ] Written communications pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities
Act (17 CFR 230.425)

         [ ] Soliciting material pursuant to Rule 14a-12 under the Exchange Act

         [ ] Pre-commencement communications pursuant to Rule 13e-4(c) under the
Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.13e-4(c))



         Certain statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws and
Headwaters intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the
safe-harbor created thereby.

         Forward-looking statements include Headwaters' expectations as to the
managing and marketing of coal combustion products, the production and marketing
of building materials and products, the licensing of technology and chemical
sales to alternative fuel facilities, the receipt of product sales, license fees
and royalty revenues, the development, commercialization, and financing of new
technologies and other strategic business opportunities and acquisitions, and
other information about Headwaters. Such statements that are not purely
historical by nature, including those statements regarding Headwaters' future
business plans, the operation of facilities, the availability of tax credits,
the availability of feedstocks, and the marketability of the coal combustion
products, building products, and synthetic fuel, are forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
regarding future events and our future results that are based on current
expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industries in
which we operate and the beliefs and assumptions of our management. Actual
results may vary materially from such expectations. Words such as "expects,"
"anticipates," "targets," "goals," "projects," "believes," "seeks," "estimates,"
or variations of such words and similar expressions, are intended to identify
such forward-looking statements. Any statements that refer to projections of our
future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our
businesses, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances, are
forward-looking.

         In addition to matters affecting the coal combustion products,
alternative fuel, and building products industries or the economy generally,
factors which could cause actual results to differ from expectations stated in
forward-looking statements include, among others, the risk factors described in
Item 7 in Headwaters' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2004, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other periodic filings
and prospectuses. Although Headwaters believes that its expectations are based
on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and
operations, there can be no assurance that our results of operations will not be
adversely affected by such factors. Unless legally required, we undertake no
obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.
