On January 20, 2005, the company issued a press release announcing its financial
results for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 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,"
"vision" "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 ended June 30,
2004 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004.
