                  FIBREBOARD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       (Dollar Amounts in Thousands)
                                (Unaudited)


1.  The interim financial statements included herein have been prepared,
    without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
    and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
    normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
    generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
    pursuant to such rules and regulations, although Fibreboard management
    believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
    presented not misleading. These interim financial statements and notes
    should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
    thereto included in Fibreboard's 1994 Annual Report and Form 10-K.

    Interim financial statements are by necessity somewhat tentative.
    Judgments are used to estimate the amounts recorded each quarter for
    items that are normally determinable only on an annual basis. For
    example, numerous items relating to employee benefits are determined
    annually, with hours worked determining pension plan contributions for the
    year, eligibility for vacations, etc. Further, all inventory quantities
    are verified by physically counting the units on hand at least once a
    year.  For those inventories not counted at the end of the quarter,
    quantities are determined using measured sales and production data for the
    period.

    The interim period financial information included herein reflects all
    adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are, in the opinion of
    Fibreboard management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results
    of the respective interim periods. Results of operations for interim
    periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an
    entire year.

2.  Net earnings per common and common equivalent share are calculated using
    the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period
    plus the net additional number of shares which would be issuable upon the
    exercise of stock options, assuming Fibreboard used the proceeds received
    to purchase additional shares at market value.  All per share amounts have
    been restated to reflect the impact of a two-for-one common stock split on
    May 19, 1995.

3.  Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or
    market.  Inventory costs include material, labor and operating overhead.
    Operating supplies are priced at average cost. Inventories are as follows:

4.  Fibreboard's ability to continue to operate in the normal course of
    business is dependent upon its ongoing capability to fund asbestos-related
    defense and indemnity costs.  Prior to 1972, Fibreboard manufactured
    insulation products containing asbestos.  Fibreboard has since been named
    as a defendant in many thousands of personal injury claims for injuries
    allegedly caused by asbestos exposure and in asbestos-in-buildings actions
    involving many thousands of buildings.

     (1)  Under Green Card Settlements, there is no determination of liability
          by Fibreboard to a claimant.  Instead, Fibreboard waives the statute
          of limitations should a claimant develop an asbestos-related
          impairment in the future.

     (2)  Judgments represent defense verdicts in favor of Fibreboard,
          plaintiff verdicts where the net amount payable by Fibreboard is
          zero after applying prior settlement amounts or plaintiff verdicts
          where the judgment has been paid.  Additional judgments favoring
          plaintiffs have been entered.  Fibreboard is appealing these
          judgments.  The amount of such judgments is included in Fibreboard's
          overall liability estimate.

     (3)  Often, multiple claims are filed for the same injury.  It is often
          not possible to fully identify duplicate claims until the claims are
          prepared for trial.  Fibreboard has an ongoing program to identify
          duplicate claims and remove them from the claims database, and
          anticipates additional future adjustments.

     (4)  For claims where the initial year of exposure is known.

     (5)  Of the claims pending at September 30, 1995 27,200 were filed on or
          after August 27, 1993, and will be covered by the Global Settlement
          if approved.
                                    -------------------

    During 1993, Fibreboard entered into a settlement agreement with
    Continental Casualty Company (Continental) and Pacific Indemnity Company
    (Pacific) (the Insurance Settlement).  In addition, Fibreboard,
    Continental, Pacific and plaintiffs' representatives entered into a
    settlement agreement (the Global Settlement).  These agreements are
    interrelated.  Final court approval of the agreements is required.  The
    trial court proceeding to determine the reasonableness and fairness of the
    settlements has concluded in the United States District Court for the
    Eastern District of Texas with the court entering judgments approving both
    settlements in July, 1995.  Both judgments have been appealed.  The fifth
    circuit court of appeals has scheduled oral argument of the issues in
    December 1995.  These appeals will delay final approval of the settlements
    until 1996 or later.

    If both the Global Settlement and Insurance Settlement are approved,
    Fibreboard believes its existing and future personal injury asbestos
    liabilities will be resolved through insurance resources and existing
    corporate reserves.  Fibreboard will contribute $10,000 toward a $1,535,000
    settlement trust, which it will obtain from other remaining insurance
    sources and existing reserves.  The Home Insurance Company paid $9,892 into
    an escrow account on behalf of Fibreboard during the first quarter of 1995,
    in satisfaction of an earlier settlement agreement.  Fibreboard is
    obligated to pay $245, which includes interest from the settlement date to
    December 31, 1994, into the escrow account if the Global Settlement is
    approved. The remainder of the trust will be funded by Continental and
    Pacific.  The insurers have placed $1,525,000 in an escrow account pending
    court approval of the settlements.  The balance of the escrow account was
    $1,560,633 at December 31, 1994 after payment of interim

                                       10

<PAGE>

    expenses associated with the Global Settlement.  The trust will be used to
    compensate "future" plaintiffs, defined as those plaintiffs who had not
    filed a claim against Fibreboard before August 27, 1993.  Such future
    plaintiffs only source of compensation will be the trust, as an injunction
    will be entered prohibiting future claims against Fibreboard or the
    insurers.

    If the Global Settlement is not approved, but the Insurance Settlement is
    approved, the insurers will instead provide Fibreboard with up to
    $2,000,000 to resolve pending and future claims and will pay the deferred
    payment  portion of existing settled claims.

    While Fibreboard is optimistic, there is no assurance final court approval
    of either the Global Settlement or the Insurance Settlement can be
    obtained.  If neither the Global Settlement nor the Insurance Settlement is
    approved, the parties will be bound by the outcome of the insurance
    coverage litigation, unless other settlements are reached.

    In the event the settlements discussed above are not approved, Fibreboard
    believes it has substantial insurance coverage for asbestos-related defense
    and indemnity costs.  Fibreboard's disputes with Continental and Pacific
    have been the subject of litigation which began in 1979. Trial court
    judgments rendered in 1990 give Fibreboard virtually unlimited insurance
    coverage for asbestos-related personal injury claims where the initial
    exposure to asbestos occurred prior to March 1959.  Under the judgments,
    these insurers can be required to pay up to $500 for each occurrence
    (defined as each individual claim) with no limitation on the aggregate
    number of occurrences.

    The insurers appealed to the California Court of Appeal.  Among other
    issues, Continental disputed the definition of an occurrence under its
    policy as well as the trigger and scope of coverage as determined by the
    trial court, while Pacific argued that its policy contained an aggregate
    limit as well as disputing the trigger and scope of coverage issues.  In
    November 1993, the Court of Appeal issued its ruling on the trigger and
    scope of coverage issues, confirming the favorable trial court judgments,
    except the court held the period for coverage would begin at the time of
    exposure to Fibreboard's asbestos products rather than at the time of
    exposure to any company's asbestos product, with the presumption that these
    periods are the same.  At the request of Fibreboard, Continental and
    Pacific, the Court of Appeal withheld its ruling on the remaining issues
    while the parties seek approval of the Global and Insurance Settlements.
    If the Global and/or Insurance Settlements are ultimately approved,
    Fibreboard and its insurers will seek to dismiss the insurance coverage
    litigation.

    In January 1994 the California Supreme Court granted review of the decision
    of the Court of Appeal, but withheld further action until its decision in
    another case (MONTROSE CHEMICAL CORP. V. ADMIRAL INS. CO.) then pending
    before the Supreme Court was finalized.  On July 3, 1995, the Supreme Court
    issued a decision in MONTROSE CHEMICAL confirming a trigger of coverage
    consistent with the trigger the Court of Appeal applied to the Fibreboard
    policies.

    By an order of October 19, 1995 the Supreme Court transferred the
    Fibreboard case back to the Court of Appeal which, after receiving
    supplemental briefs that are to be submitted by November 20, 1995, and
    perhaps conducting further argument, will review its decision on trigger
    and other issues in light of MONTROSE CHEMICAL and any other considerations
    the Court of Appeal deems relevant.  After the Court of Appeal reissues a
    decision, the parties can again petition for review to the California
    Supreme Court.

    Fibreboard has entered into an interim agreement with Continental under
    which Continental agreed to provide a full defense to Fibreboard on
    pre-1959 claims and make certain funds available as needed to pay currently
    due Structured Settlement Obligations and other personal injury defense
    costs for which Fibreboard does not otherwise have insurance available
    during the period pending final approval of the Global and/or Insurance
    Settlement, or if neither is approved, through the ultimate conclusion of
    the insurance coverage appeal, however long that may take.  In exchange for
    the benefits provided under this agreement, Fibreboard agreed not to settle
    additional pre-1959 personal injury claims without Continental's consent.

    If neither the Global Settlement nor the Insurance Settlement are approved
    and Fibreboard prevails in the appeal of the insurance coverage litigation,
    Continental has agreed to provide Fibreboard with $315,000 to $425,000 to
    resolve personal injury claims alleging first exposure to asbestos after
    March 1959, less any amounts Fibreboard recovers from the Pacific
    settlement described below.  Continental would also continue to have
    responsibility for all pre-1959 personal injury claims against Fibreboard
    up to $500 per claim.

                                     11

<PAGE>

    In March 1992, Fibreboard and Pacific entered into a settlement agreement
    (the Pacific Agreement).  If the Global Settlement or Insurance Settlement
    is approved, the Pacific Agreement will be of no effect.  If neither of the
    settlements is approved, the Pacific Agreement establishes amounts payable
    to Fibreboard if the trial court judgments are upheld. Fibreboard received
    $10,000 upon signing the agreements and received an additional $10,000
    during 1993.  In addition, if the judgments are affirmed on appeal,
    Fibreboard will receive from $80,000 to $105,000 to be used for claims
    costs for which it does not otherwise have insurance.

    In the event the trigger and scope of coverage judgments are reversed on
    appeal, Pacific will owe Fibreboard nothing and will have a right to
    repayment of interim funds previously advanced.

    Fibreboard believes amounts available under the settlements discussed above
    will be adequate to fund defense and indemnity costs until the insurance
    coverage appeal is concluded, whether as a result of the final approval of
    the Global and/or Insurance Settlements or the final resolution of the
    insurance coverage litigation.

    At September 30, 1995, Fibreboard was a defendant in 9
    asbestos-in-buildings claims.  To date, Fibreboard has successfully
    defended these claims or settled the claims for modest amounts compared to
    the damages sought.  Based on its experience to date, Fibreboard believes
    the ultimate resolution of asbestos-in-buildings claims will not have a
    material adverse effect on its financial condition.

    Fibreboard is also litigating with its insurance carriers and believes the
    total limits of insurance policies in effect from 1932 to 1985 which may
    provide coverage for asbestos-in-buildings claims aggregate $390,000
    (including the settlements discussed below), which is in addition to the
    personal injury insurance coverage and does not include additional policies
    which contain no aggregate limit.  The insurers dispute coverage, although
    to date substantially all of Fibreboard's costs of defending
    asbestos-in-buildings claims have been paid by its primary carriers.

    Fibreboard has reached final settlements with four of its primary insurers
    and several of its excess level insurers.  The final settlements confirm
    more than $295,000 of insurance as needed to defend and dispose of
    asbestos-in-buildings claims.  Substantially all of the confirmed insurance
    remains available.

    The asbestos-in-buildings insurance coverage trial has been continued.  No
    date has been set for the trial to recommence.  Fibreboard is continuing
    settlement discussions with the remaining insurers.  Fibreboard cannot
    predict whether such discussions will result in settlements.

    At the end of 1991, Fibreboard attempted to quantify its liability for
    asbestos-related personal injury claims then pending and anticipated to be
    received through the end of the decade. There are many opportunities for
    error in such an exercise.  Assumptions concerning the number of claims to
    be received, the disease mix of pending and future claims and projections
    of defense and indemnity costs may or may not prove correct.  Fibreboard's
    assumptions are based on its historical experience, modified as appropriate
    for anticipated demographic changes or changes in the litigation
    environment.

    Notwithstanding the inherent risk of significant error in such a
    calculation, Fibreboard estimated the amount necessary to defend and
    dispose of asbestos-related personal injury claims pending at December 31,
    1991 and anticipated through the end of the decade plus the costs of
    prosecuting its insurance coverage litigation, would aggregate $1,610,000.
    Because of the dynamic nature of this litigation, it is more difficult to
    estimate how many personal injury claims will be received after 1999 as
    well as the costs of defending and disposing of those future claims.
    Consequently, Fibreboard's estimated liability contains no amounts for
    personal injury claims received after the end of the decade, although it is
    likely additional claims will be received thereafter.  In addition, the
    projected liability does not include any liability for
    asbestos-in-buildings claims, if any, as Fibreboard believes that any
    liability for such claims is not subject to reasonable estimation.

    Fibreboard determined it was probable that it would ultimately receive
    insurance proceeds of $1,584,000 for the defense and disposition of the
    claims quantified above.  Fibreboard's opinion was based on its
    understanding of the disputed issues, the financial strength of the
    insurers and the opinion of outside legal counsel regarding the outcome of
    the litigation.  As a

                                     12

<PAGE>

    result, Fibreboard recorded a liability, net of anticipated insurance
    proceeds, of $26,000 at December 31, 1991, representing its best estimate
    of the unreimbursed cost of resolving personal injury claims then pending
    and anticipated through the remainder of the decade as well as the costs
    of prosecuting the insurance coverage litigation.  The balance of the net
    liability was $11,702 at September 30, 1995 after a $4,000 adjustment
    discussed below.

    Fibreboard continues to believe it is probable that it will ultimately
    receive insurance proceeds of $1,584,000 for the defense and disposition of
    the asbestos-related personal injury claims quantified above.  Although
    Fibreboard, its insurers and plaintiffs' representatives entered into the
    Insurance and Global Settlements discussed above, Fibreboard does not
    believe these settlements impact its estimate of liability through the end
    of the decade.  However, during the second quarter of 1995, Fibreboard
    recorded a $4,000 reversal of previously established reserves for
    anticipated unreimbursable costs as a result of a reduction in its estimate
    of the amounts which will be needed for such purpose in the event neither
    the Global nor Insurance Settlements are finally approved.  Fibreboard will
    continue to reevaluate its estimates and will make adjustments to the
    extent dictated by changes in the personal injury litigation.

   Norandex was purchased August 31, 1994.

6. In May, 1995, Fibreboard acquired eight building products distribution
   centers in Texas, Nebraska and Colorado for $13,448.  In October, 1995,
   Fibreboard acquired six additional distribution centers in Florida,
   Alabama and Mississippi for approximately $5,620 and in November, 1995,
   acquired eight distribution centers in Arkansas, Alabama and Louisiana for
   approximately $3,170.

7. On May 31, 1995, Fibreboard replaced Resort Operation's two revolving
   credit facilities and term loan with a $30,000 reducing revolving
   facility with interest at LIBOR plus 100 to 125 basis points.  Proceeds
   may be used for operating purposes and acquisitions.  Maximum availability
   reduces annually and matures on May 31, 2000.  Fibreboard is negotiating
   to increase availability under this facility to $40,000. On October 12, 1995,
   Fibreboard finalized a five-year, $125,000 revolving facility, with
   interest at LIBOR plus 40 to 92.5 basis points, to be used for operating
   purposes and acquisitions.  The new facility matures on September 20,
   2000.  Fibreboard is currently negotiating a Canadian credit facility to
   support its planned acquisition of a Canadian manufacturer of vinyl siding
   products.

8. On September 25, 1995, Fibreboard sold substantially all of its wood
   products related assets for $245,000 in cash, subject to a number of
   purchase price adjustments estimated to aggregate $5,700 and
   recorded a gain of $75,897 net of income taxes.  Retained balances
   primarily include notes receivable from prior asset sales, a former plant
   site and nominal timberlands adjacent to Fibreboard's Northstar Resort
   facility.  Fibreboard also retained liabilities for workers compensation
   claims that arose prior to September 25, and for future environmental
   costs related to wood products activities prior to the sale.

9. In October, 1995, Fibreboard acquired the assets of a ski and golf resort
   in southern California for approximately $19,700 in cash.  Fibreboard is
   currently negotiating to acquire a Canadian vinyl siding manufacturer for
   $35,000 to $40,000 and expects to close the transaction during the fourth
   quarter of 1995.
