                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors of Johns Manville Corporation:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Johns Manville Employees 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") at December 31, 1999
and 1998, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year
ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Plan"s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of Assets Held
for Investment Purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             --------------------


1.   Plan Description:
     ----------------

     The following description of the Johns Manville Employees 401(k) Plan (the
     "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the
     Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

     The Plan is sponsored by Johns Manville Corporation and offered through its
     wholly owned subsidiary, Johns Manville International, Inc. (the
     "Company"). The Plan provides eligible employees a convenient means for
     regular and systematic savings with several investment options. Plan
     participants have the option of directing the investment of their
     contributions and related Company contributions into any one or a
     combination of separate funds. Fidelity Management Trust Company
     ("Fidelity"), the trustee of the Plan, administers, manages and reports the
     Plan's investment transactions. The Plan offers the following Fidelity
     funds as investment options: Retirement Government Money Market Portfolio,
     Short-Term Bond Fund, Asset Manager, Disciplined Equity Fund, Value Fund,
     Magellan Fund, OTC Portfolio, International Growth and Income Fund, and the
     JM Stock Fund. Participants may invest up to 25% of the total value of
     their account in the JM Stock Fund, which holds common stock of Johns
     Manville Corporation.

     Effective January 1, 1999 the Plan began to offer nine additional
     investment options through Fidelity, as Trust distributor, to provide
     employees a broader range of risk and reward potential. These additional
     funds are: PIMCo Total Return Fund, PIMCo High Yield Fund, PIMCo Strategic
     Balanced Fund, PIMCo StocksPlus Fund, Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund
     Inc. Global Equity Portfolio, MAS Small Cap Value Portfolio, and three
     Morgan Stanley Strategic Advisor Funds: Conservative, Moderate and
     Aggressive.

     Eligible participants may withdraw loans from their vested account balances
     in the aforementioned funds. Principal and interest payments are reinvested
     in the participant's investment funds in accordance with the participant's
     investment election in effect at the time the payments are made.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             --------------------


2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
     ------------------------------------------

     Investments are stated at current market values based upon quotations
     obtained directly from Fidelity except for the Mutual Benefit Life
     Insurance Contract (see Note 4), which was based on contract value
     (original cost plus accrued interest and contributions less withdrawals).

     Transactions in the various funds are accounted for using the trade date.
     Realized gains or losses from such transactions are determined on the basis
     of average cost. Accrued income receivable consists of interest income
     receivable on loans to Plan participants.

     The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for
     benefits the net appreciation in the fair value of its investments which
     consists of the realized gains (losses) and the unrealized appreciation
     (depreciation) on those investments, including derivative financial
     instruments (see Note 5).

     The Plan is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the
     counterparties to financial instruments but has no off-balance-sheet credit
     risk of accounting loss. The Plan anticipates, however, that counterparties
     will be able to fully satisfy their obligations to the Plan. The Plan does
     not require collateral or other security to support investments with credit
     risk.

     The preparation of the Plan's consolidated financial statements in
     conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
     management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
     reported in these financial statements, including disclosures of contingent
     liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates and
     assumptions.

     The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of
     stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds, and other investment
     securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, including
     interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk
     associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty
     related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least
     reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially
     affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the
     statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes
     in net assets available for benefits.

     Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform with the
     current year presentation.

4.   Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Contract:
     --------------------------------------

     During 1991, Mutual Benefit life was placed under rehabilitation
     conservatorship with the state of New Jersey by court order, and during
     1993, a plan of rehabilitation (the "Rehabilitation") was approved. Mutual
     Benefit Life became insolvent during 1994 and its assets and liabilities
     were assumed by a successor company, MBL Life Assurance Corporation
     ("MBLLAC"). Pursuant to the Rehabilitation, participants had the option of
     opting out of the existing contract or accepting participation in a new,
     restructured contract to be issued by MBLLAC. Participants electing to opt
     out of the contract received a total of $864,000, representing 55% of their
     account balances with interest credited at 3.5l% annually through payout.
     Participants who elected to accept participation in the restructured
     contract were credited with balances totaling approximately $15.2 million,
     with interest credited at the contract rate of 11.05% through December 31,
     1991, at 4.0% for 1992, at 3.5% for 1993, at 3.5% for 1994, at 3.55% for
     1995, at 6.25% for 1996, at 6.35% through June 30, 1997, at 9.75% through
     September 30, 1998, at 14.4% through December 1998, at 15% through March
     31, 1999, 20% for April 1999, and at 25% for May 1999. Payment of principal
     and interest was guaranteed by a consortium of major insurance companies.

     During the rehabilitation period, which extended through May 31, 1999,
     withdrawals were available. The cashout penalty percentage for withdrawals
     was determined on a quarterly basis and was 4% at December 31, 1997.
     Effective January 1, 1998 the penalty percentage was zero.  In February
     1998, the Superior Court of New Jersey gave final approval to a Settlement
     Areement that eliminated pending appeals and further litigation regarding
     the Rehabilitation Plan. As part of the agreement, the installment payout
     at the end of Rehabilitation was eliminated.  Contract account values
     totaling approximately $10.2 million were paid in full on June 1, 1999,
     effectively terminating the contract.

5.   Derivative Financial Instruments:
     --------------------------------

     During 1999 and 1998, derivative investments comprised an immaterial
     portion of the total net assets available for benefits. Certain of the
     Plan's investment options utilize derivative financial instruments to
     implement their investment strategies and use them for trading purposes.
     The fair value of derivatives utilized by the funds is determined as the
     amounts the Plan would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the
     reporting date, taking into account the current unrealized gains or losses
     on open contracts. Market or dealer quotes are available for many
     derivatives; otherwise, pricing or valuation models are applied to current
     market information to estimate fair value.

                             --------------------


6.   Contributions, Eligibility and Vesting:
     --------------------------------------

     Pre-tax Contributions - Eligible employees may contribute to the Plan
     ---------------------
     through a reduction in salary on a pre-tax basis from 1% to 12% of salary
     (defined as regular fixed compensation plus commissions, bonuses, overtime
     pay and profit sharing distributions).  Highly compensated employees'
     contributions may be limited based on discrimination testing.

     After-tax Contributions - Employees may elect to contribute 1% to 7% of
     -----------------------
     salary on an after-tax basis regardless of the percentage of pre-tax
     contributions.

     Company Contributions - The Company contribution is based on a 50% fixed
     ---------------------
     match on the first 6% of pre-tax contributions, plus up to 50% variable
     match based on the operating performance of the Company and management's
     sole discretion.  Company contributions of $4,711,007 and $4,092,865
     related to the variable match were accrued for at December 31, 1999 and
     1998, respectively.  After-tax contributions and rollover contributions are
     not matched by the Company.  The Company's annual contribution made on
     behalf of any one employee is subject to certain maximums as specified in
     the Plan and regulated by the Internal Revenue service.

     Eligibility - Full-time permanent salaried employees and non-union salaried
     -----------
     employees at participating locations are eligible to become Plan
     participants on the first day of employment  or re-employment.  If the
     employee is part-time or temporary, such employee becomes eligible to
     participate after completing at least one year and 1,000 hours of service.

     Vesting - Employee contributions and earnings thereon vest to the
     -------
     participant immediately. Company contributions and the earnings thereon
     vest to the participant with the earlier of five years service or three
     years participation in the Plan.

7.   Withdrawals, Forfeitures and Loans:
     ----------------------------------

     Rollover contributions which have been in the Plan at least 24 months and
     all vested amounts (except those relating to participant pre-tax
     contributions and earnings thereon) may be withdrawn by the participant at
     any time.  Employee pre-tax contributions and earnings thereon may not be
     withdrawn until the participant attains age 59-1/2, leaves the Company, or
     furnishes satisfactory proof of financial hardship.

     If a participant's employment is terminated for reasons other than death,
     disability or retirement, the participant forfeits any unvested Company
     contributions and applicable earnings.  Participants with vested balances
     over $5,000, can elect to defer the distribution of funds to December 31 of
     the year they attain age 65.

                             --------------------


7.   Withdrawals, Forfeitures and Loans, continued:
     ----------------------------------

     Forfeitures serve to reduce future contributions of the Company. During
     1999, forfeitures totaled $201,733. A participant who is terminated and
     subsequently rehired by the Company within five years has the option of
     repaying to the Plan, within two years of the reemployment date, cash in
     one lump sum equal to the full amount received from the Plan at
     termination. If such repayment is made, the Company will restore to the
     participant's account the amounts previously forfeited.

     A participant who retires or becomes disabled, and has a balance over
     $5,000, can elect to defer the distribution of funds credited to the
     participant in the Plan until December of the year in which the participant
     attains age 70-1/2 or, in the event of death, the beneficiary can elect to
     defer distribution for a period of 60 months from date of death.

     Withdrawal by the employee of Company contributions is subject to
     suspension of future Company contributions for the greater of three months
     or the time period during which the employee does not make contributions.
     Suspension does not occur if the withdrawal is limited to after-tax
     contributions and the related earnings thereon.

     The Plan's loan provisions allow participants to borrow up to 50% of the
     value of their vested account balances; however, in no event within the
     previous 12 month period can the participant's aggregate loan balance
     exceed $50,000. All loans are collateralized by the participant's account
     balances and bear interest at one percent over the prime rate as of the
     last day of the month preceding the loan withdrawal.

8.   Tax Status:
     ----------

     The Plan is designed to constitute a qualified trust under Section 401(a)
     of the Internal Revenue Code and is therefore considered to be exempt from
     federal income tax under provisions of Section 501(A). An application was
     filed with the Internal Revenue Service for a determination as to whether
     the Plan meets the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986. On April 7, 1998, the Company received a
     favorable tax qualification determination letter from the Internal Revenue
     Service approving amendments through July 1997. The Company believes that
     the Plan remains in accordance with the applicable requirements under the
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Participants in the Plan will not be taxed
     on pre-tax contributions, rollover contributions from a qualified plan,
     earnings on contributions from the Company's retirement plans, Company
     contributions to the Plan on their behalf or on earnings credited to their
     account until such contributions and earnings are distributed or otherwise
     made available to them.

                             --------------------


9.   Termination of the Plan:
     -----------------------

     It is the intent of the Company to continue the Plan; however, in the event
     that the Plan is terminated by the Company, accounts would become fully
     vested.  The assets of the Plan would be distributed to the participants
     based on their account balances.  In addition, any previously forfeited
     amounts which had not been applied to reduce Company contributions would be
     credited ratably to the accounts of the participants  remaining in the Plan
     at the time of such termination.

10.  Administrative Expenses:
     -----------------------

     The Company pays administrative expenses to the Plan's trustee and outside
     consultants on behalf of the Plan, which are not included in the Plan's
     financial statements.
