Press Release

On August 10, 2004, the company issued a press release announcing its financial
results for the fiscal quarter and year ended June 30, 2004. A copy of the press
release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. In accordance with the safe
harbor provisions of the securities law regarding forward-looking statements,
the press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. These statements usually are accompanied by words such as "optimistic,"
"outlook," "believe," "estimate," "potential," "forecast," "project," expect,"
"anticipate," "plan," "predict," "could," "should," "may," "likely," or similar
words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. These statements
are based on judgments the company believes are reasonable; however, ElkCorp's
actual results could differ materially from those discussed therein. Factors
that could cause or contribute to such differences could include, but are not
limited to, changes in demand, prices, raw material costs, transportation costs,
changes in economic conditions of the various markets the company serves,
changes in the amount and severity of inclement weather, acts of God, war or
terrorism, as well as the other risks detailed in the press release, and in the
company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including
but not limited to, its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2003, and
