                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Building  Materials  Corporation  of America (the  "Company") was formed on
January 31, 1994 and is a 99.8% owned  subsidiary of BMCA  Holdings  Corporation
("BHC"),  which is a 97% owned subsidiary of GAF Building Materials  Corporation
("GAFBMC"),  which is a wholly-owned  subsidiary of GAF  Fiberglass  Corporation
("GFC").  GFC is a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of G Industries  Corp.,  which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of G-I Holdings Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of GAF Corporation ("GAF"). The consolidated financial statements of the Company
reflect,  in the opinion of  management,  all  adjustments  necessary to present
fairly the financial position of the Company at October 3, 1999, and the results
of  operations  and cash flows for the  periods  ended  September  27,  1998 and
October  3,  1999.  All  adjustments  are of a normal  recurring  nature.  These
financial  statements  should be read in conjunction  with the annual  financial
statements  and notes thereto  included in the  Company's  Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 (the "Form 10-K").



Note 1.  Capital Contribution

         Effective   August  18,  1999,  GFC,  in  a  series  of   transactions,
contributed the assets and certain  liabilities  relating to its Nashville glass
fiber  manufacturing  facility  ("Nashville") to the Company.  Accordingly,  the
Company's  historical  consolidated  financial  statements have been restated to
include  the  results  of  operations  of  Nashville.  For  financial  reporting
purposes,  the  contribution  of  Nashville  was  recorded by the Company at the
historical cost of $9.3 million.  The increase in net income  resulting from the
contribution of Nashville for the three and nine-month  periods ended October 3,
1999 was $0.2  million  and $1.8  million,  respectively,  and for the three and
nine-month  periods ended  September 27, 1998 was $0.2 million and $0.7 million,
respectively.

Note 4.   Nonrecurring Charges

     In July 1998, the Company  recorded a pre-tax  nonrecurring  charge of $7.6
million related to a grant to its former  President and Chief Executive  Officer
of 30,000 shares of  restricted  common stock of the Company (a portion of which
such officer  transferred to trusts for the benefit of his children) and related
cash payments to be made over a period of time  (substantially  all of which was
earned) in connection  with the  termination by an affiliate of preferred  stock
options and stock appreciation  rights held by such officer. Of the $7.6 million
charge, $2.5 million represented the value as of the date of grant of the 30,000
shares of restricted  common stock,  and $5.1 million  represented the aggregate
amount of the cash  payments  to which such  officer  was  entitled  (subject to
certain  future  vesting  requirements).  The  shares of  restricted  stock were
subject to certain rights of the Company to purchase, and of such

officer and the trusts to  sell to  the  Company,  such shares at Book Value (as
defined).

     Effective June 30, 1999,  such officer  terminated his employment  with the
Company. In connection with this termination,  the Company's  obligation to such
officer to pay an  aggregate of $3.0  million  (representing  the balance of the
cash  payments   described  above)  was  cancelled  and  treated  as  a  capital
contribution.  Accordingly,  such  amount has been  reflected  as an increase in
additional paid-in-capital.  Effective September 30, 1999, the agreement between
the Company and such former  officer and the trusts  relating to the  restricted
common stock was terminated. Such officer and the trusts retained the restricted
common  stock and  contributed  such  stock to BHC in  consideration  for equity
interests in BHC.

         In  connection  with the  settlement  of a legal  matter,  the  Company
recorded a nonrecurring  charge of $2.7 million in September  1999.  Such amount
includes legal expenses incurred to defend such action.

Note 5.   Contingencies

Asbestos Litigation Against GAF

     In connection  with its formation,  the Company  contractually  assumed and
agreed to pay the first  $204.4  million  of  liabilities  for  asbestos-related
bodily injury claims  relating to the  inhalation of asbestos  fiber  ("Asbestos
Claims") (whether for indemnity or defense) of its parent,  GAFBMC,  relating to
then-pending cases and previously settled, but not paid, cases as of January 31,
1994,  and no other asbestos  liabilities  of GAFBMC.  As of March 30, 1997, the
Company had paid all of its assumed asbestos-related liabilities.

     GAF has advised the Company that, as of September 25, 1999, it is defending
approximately 114,400 pending alleged Asbestos Claims (having received notice of
approximately  42,200 new Asbestos  Claims during the first nine months of 1999)
and has resolved approximately 335,100 Asbestos Claims (including  approximately
41,600 in the first nine months of 1999).  GAF's current  estimated average cost
for Asbestos Claims  resolved in 1998 (including  Asbestos Claims disposed of at
no cost to GAF) is  approximately  $3,500 per claim.  There can be no  assurance
that the actual  costs of  resolving  pending  and future  Asbestos  Claims will
approximate  GAF's  estimated  average costs for the Asbestos Claims resolved in
1998.

     GAF has stated that it is committed to effecting a comprehensive resolution
of Asbestos  Claims and that it is  exploring a number of options to  accomplish
such  resolution,  but  there  can be no  assurance  that  this  effort  will be
successful.

     The Company  believes that it will not sustain any additional  liability in
connection  with  asbestos-related  claims.  While the  Company  cannot  predict
whether any  asbestos-related  claims will be asserted against it or its assets,
or the outcome of any  litigation  relating to such claims,  it believes that it
has  meritorious  defenses to such  claims.  Moreover,  it has been  jointly and
severally  indemnified  by G-I  Holdings and GAFBMC with respect to such claims.
Should GAF or GAFBMC be unable to satisfy judgments against it in asbestos-

Note 5.   Contingencies (Continued)

related lawsuits,  its judgment  creditors might seek to enforce their judgments
against the assets of GAF or GAFBMC,  including  its holdings of common stock of
BHC,  and such  enforcement  could result in a change of control with respect to
the Company.

     For further information  regarding the history of the foregoing  litigation
and  asbestos-related  matters,  see "Item 3. Legal  Proceedings"  and Note 3 to
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Form 10-K.


Environmental Litigation

     The  Company,  together  with other  companies,  is a party to a variety of
proceedings  and  lawsuits  involving   environmental  matters   ("Environmental
Claims"),  in which  recovery is sought for the cost of cleanup of  contaminated
sites,  a number of which  Environmental  Claims are in the early stages or have
been dormant for protracted periods. At most sites, the Company anticipates that
liability will be apportioned  among the companies  found to be responsible  for
the presence of hazardous  substances at the site. The Company believes that the
ultimate disposition of such matters will not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a  material  adverse  effect on the  business,  results  of  operations  or
financial position of the Company.

     For  further  information   regarding   environmental   matters  and  other
litigation,  reference is made to "Item 3. Legal  Proceedings"  contained in the
Company's Form 10-K.


Tax Claim Against GAF

     On  September  15, 1997,  GAF  received a notice from the Internal  Revenue
Service (the  "Service") of a deficiency  in the amount of $84.4 million  (after
taking  into  account  the use of net  operating  losses and foreign tax credits
otherwise  available for use in later years) in connection with the formation in
1990 of  Rhone-Poulenc  Surfactants  and  Specialties,  L.P.  (the  "surfactants
partnership"),  a  partnership  in which a  subsidiary  of GAF,  GAF  Fiberglass
Corporation,  held an  interest.  The  claim of the  Service  for  interest  and
penalties,  after  taking into  account  the effect on the use of net  operating
losses and  foreign  tax  credits,  could  result in GAF  incurring  liabilities
significantly  in excess of the deferred tax liability of $131.4 million that it
recorded in 1990 in  connection  with this  matter.  GAF has advised the Company
that it believes that it will prevail in this matter,  although  there can be no
assurance in this regard. However, if GAF is unsuccessful in challenging its tax
deficiency  notice,  the ability of GAF to satisfy its tax  obligation  would be
dependent  on the cash flows of the Company and GFC. The Company  believes  that
the ultimate  disposition of this matter will not have a material adverse effect
on its business,  financial position or results of operations. GAF, G-I Holdings
and certain  subsidiaries of GAF have agreed to jointly and severally  indemnify
the  Company   against  any  tax  liability   associated  with  the  surfactants
partnership,  which the Company would be severally liable for, together with GAF
and several  current  and former  subsidiaries  of GAF,  should GAF be unable to
satisfy such liability.

Note 6.  New Accounting Standard

     In June 1998,  the FASB  issued SFAS No. 133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments and Hedging  Activities."  SFAS No. 133  establishes  accounting and
reporting  standards  requiring that every derivative  instrument be recorded in
the balance  sheet as either an asset or  liability  measured at its fair value.
SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative's  fair value be recognized
currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.

     Special  accounting for qualifying  hedges allows a derivative's  gains and
losses to offset  related  results on the hedged  item in the income  statement.
SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2000,  but
may be adopted earlier. If the Company had adopted SFAS No. 133 as of January 1,
1999, there would have been no significant impact on results of operations.  The
Company has not yet determined the timing,  method or effect on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets of adoption of SFAS No. 133.


Note 7.  Long-Term Debt

     On August 16, 1999, the Company entered into a $31.9 million bank term loan
maturing on July 1, 2004 (the "Term  Loan").  The Term Loan bears  interest at a
floating  rate based on the bank's base rate,  the federal funds rate, or LIBOR,
at the option of the Company.  In addition,  under the Term Loan,  the principal
amount outstanding on March 1, 2000 will  automatically  convert to senior notes
with a maturity date of December 1, 2008. The senior notes will bear interest at
a rate that will be set at the time of conversion.  The Company used all the net
proceeds of the Term Loan to purchase and  subsequently  cancel $29.9 million in
aggregate  principal  amount at maturity of the  Company's  outstanding  11 3/4%
Senior  Deferred  Coupon  Notes  due 2004 (the  "Deferred  Coupon  Notes").  The
redemption  price was  105.875% of the  principal  amount  outstanding,  and the
premium was recorded as an extraordinary loss, net of tax, of approximately $1.3
million.

         On August 18,  1999,the  Company  entered  into a new  three-year  bank
credit  facility  (the "Credit  Agreement").  The terms of the Credit  Agreement
provide for a $110 million  revolving credit facility,  the full amount of which
is  available  for  letters  of  credit,  provided  that  total  borrowings  and
outstanding  letters of credit may not exceed $110 million in the aggregate.  As
of October 3, 1999,  $29.9 million of letters of credit and no  borrowings  were
outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement,
the  Company  is  subject to certain  financial  covenants,  including  interest
coverage and leverage ratios,  and dividends and other  restricted  payments are
limited.  Additionally,  if a  change  of  control  (as  defined  in the  Credit
Agreement)  occurs,  the  Credit  Agreement  could be  terminated  and the loans
thereunder  accelerated by the lenders party thereto,  an event which could also
cause the Company's outstanding senior notes to be accelerated. As of October 3,
1999, the Company was in compliance  with such covenants.  The Credit  Agreement
replaced a previous  bank credit  facility  which  provided up to $75 million in
total borrowings and outstanding letters of credit.

Note 8.  Guarantor Financial Information

     Effective January 1, 1999, Building Materials  Corporation of America ("the
Company"  or "Parent  Company")  transferred  all of its  investment  assets and
intellectual  property  assets  to  Building  Materials  Investment  Corporation
("BMIC"),  a  newly-formed,  wholly-owned  subsidiary.  In connection  with this
transfer,  BMIC agreed to guarantee all of the Company's  obligations  under the
Company's then existing bank credit facility,  the Company's 7 3/4% Senior Notes
due 2005,  the 8 5/8% Senior  Notes due 2006,  the 8% Senior Notes due 2007 (the
"2007 Notes") and the 8% Senior Notes due 2008 (collectively,  the "Other Senior
Notes").  The Company also transferred all of its  manufacturing  assets,  other
than those located in Texas,  to Building  Materials  Manufacturing  Corporation
("BMMC"), another newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary. In connection with this
transfer,  BMMC agreed to become a co-obligor on the 2007 Notes and to guarantee
the Company's obligations under the then existing credit facility,  the Deferred
Coupon Notes and the Other Senior Notes.  In addition,  in August 1999, BMIC and
BMMC  guaranteed the Company's  obligations  under the Credit  Agreement and the
Term Loan. The guarantees of BMIC and BMMC are full, unconditional and joint and
several.

            Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations - Third Quarter 1999 Compared With
                        Third Quarter 1998

     The Company recorded third quarter 1999 net income of $7.4 million compared
with a net loss of $13.3  million in the third  quarter of 1998.  The net income
for the  quarter  included a $2.7  million  pre-tax  nonrecurring  charge and an
extraordinary  charge of $1.3 million, and the net loss for the same period last
year  included  $27.6 million of pre-tax  nonrecurring  charges and an after-tax
$9.3 million extraordinary charge.  Excluding the extraordinary and nonrecurring
charges  in both  periods,  net income  would  have been $10.3  million in 1999,
compared  with $13.1  million in the third  quarter of 1998,  with the  decrease
primarily  attributable to lower investment  income,  partially offset by higher
operating income.

     The Company's net sales for the third quarter of 1999 were $312.8  million,
compared to the third  quarter 1998 sales of $313.6  million,  with the decrease
primarily  due to lower sales in  commercial  roofing  products  and LL Building
Products, Inc., partially offset by sales gains in residential roofing products.
The increase in sales of the Company's  residential  roofing products  reflected
higher sales volumes and, to a lesser  extent,  higher average  selling  prices,
while the decline in sales of commercial  roofing  products  resulted from lower
sales volumes, partially offset by higher average selling prices.

         In the third  quarter of 1999,  the  Company  recorded  a $2.7  million
nonrecurring  charge ($1.7  million  after tax) related to the  settlement  of a
legal matter.  The Company  recorded pre-tax  nonrecurring  charges in the third
quarter of 1998 aggregating $27.6 million ($17.1 million after tax),  related to
the  settlement of a national class action lawsuit  involving  asphalt  shingles
manufactured  between  January 1, 1973 and December  31, 1997,  and $7.6 million
related to a grant to the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer
of  restricted  common stock of the Company and certain cash payments to be made
to such officer.

     Operating income,  before the impact of nonrecurring charges, for the third
quarter  of 1999 was $28.1  million,  compared  with $26.7  million,  before the
impact of the  nonrecurring  charges of $27.6  million,  in the third quarter of
1998.  The  improved  operating  income was  primarily  due to higher  operating
profits in commercial roofing products,  due primarily to higher average selling
prices,   together  with  the  improved  performance   primarily  due  to  lower
manufacturing costs of LL Building Products, Inc.

     Interest  expense for the third quarter of 1999 was $12.3 million  compared
with $12.4 million in the same period in 1998,  due to a lower average  interest
rate partially offset by higher average  borrowings.  The lower average interest
rate resulted from the refinancing of $310 million in aggregate principal amount
at maturity of the Company's Deferred Coupon Notes with substantially all of the
net proceeds from the issuances of $150 million in aggregate principal amount of
the Company's 7 3/4% Senior Notes due 2005, $155 million in aggregate  principal
amount of the Company's 8% Senior Notes due 2008 and the $31.9 million Term Loan
in July 1998,  December 1998 and August 1999,  respectively.  In connection with
the above  refinancing,  the  Company  recorded  extraordinary  charges  of $9.3
million and $1.3 million for the three month  periods  ended  September 27, 1998
and October 3, 1999, respectively.

                                       19
<PAGE>

     Other income,  net, for the third quarter of 1999 was $0.6 million compared
with $6.6  million in the third  quarter of 1998,  with the  decrease  primarily
resulting from lower investment income.

Results of Operations - Nine Months 1999 Compared With
                        Nine Months 1998

     For the first nine months of 1999, the Company recorded net income of $24.9
million  compared  with $0.4 million for the first nine months of 1998.  The net
income  for the  first  nine  months of 1999  included  a $2.7  million  pre-tax
nonrecurring  charge and an  extraordinary  charge of $1.3 million,  and the net
income  for the  same  period  last  year  included  $27.6  million  of  pre-tax
nonrecurring  charges  and  an  after-tax  $9.3  million  extraordinary  charge.
Excluding the extraordinary and nonrecurring charges in both periods, net income
would have been $27.9  million in 1999  compared with $26.8 million for the same
period last year, with the increase  primarily  attributable to higher operating
income and lower interest expense, partially offset by lower other income, net.

         The  Company's  net sales for the first nine months of 1999 were $886.2
million,  a 9.1%  increase over last year's sales of $812.3  million.  The sales
growth was  primarily  due to net sales gains in  residential  roofing  products
together with the inclusion of the LL Building Products, Inc. business, acquired
in June  1998,  partially  offset  by  lower  net  sales in  commercial  roofing
products.  The increase in net sales of residential  roofing  products  resulted
from higher sales volumes and average selling  prices,  while the decline in net
sales of commercial roofing products resulted from lower average selling prices.

     Operating income, before the impact of a nonrecurring charge, for the first
nine months of 1999 was $74.3 million  compared with $60.3  million,  before the
impact of the nonrecurring charges, for the first nine months of 1998. The 23.2%
improvement  in  operating  income was  primarily  attributable  to higher gross
profit  margins,  together  with  higher  operating  profits  in  the  Company's
residential roofing products and the inclusion of the LL Building Products, Inc.
business.   Partially  offsetting  these  improvements  were  lower  profits  in
commercial  roofing products and increases in operating  expenses related to the
higher sales volume.

     Interest  expense  declined  to $37.1  million for the first nine months of
1999 from $37.8  million for the same period in 1998,  due  primarily to a lower
average interest rate, partially offset by higher average borrowings.  The lower
average interest rate resulted from the refinancing of $310 million in aggregate
principal  amount at maturity of the  Company's  Deferred  Coupon Notes due 2004
with substantially all of the net proceeds from the issuances of $150 million in
aggregate  principal  amount of the Company's 7 3/4% Senior Notes due 2005, $155
million in aggregate  principal amount of the Company's 8% Senior Notes due 2008
and the $31.9  million  Term Loan in July 1998,  December  1998 and August 1999,
respectively.  In connection with the above  refinancing,  the Company  recorded
extraordinary  charges  of $9.3  million  and $1.3  million  for the nine  month
periods ended September 27, 1998 and October 3, 1999, respectively.

     Other  income,  net,  for the first  nine  months of 1999 was $7.1  million
compared  with  $20.9  million  in the same  period  in 1998.  The  decline  was
principally due to lower investment income.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

     Net cash  inflow  during  the first  nine  months of 1999 was $4.2  million
before financing activities,  and included the reinvestment of $41.5 million for
capital   programs,   the   generation  of  $40.8  million  from  net  sales  of
available-for-sale   and   held-to-maturity   securities  and  other  short-term
investments.

     Cash invested in additional  working  capital  totaled $60.6 million during
the first nine  months of 1999,  primarily  reflecting  a seasonal  increase  in
inventories  of $30.9  million  and a $49.3  million  increase  in  receivables,
including  a $10.5  million  increase  in the  receivable  from the trust  which
purchases certain of the Company's trade accounts  receivable,  partially offset
by a $19.4 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The net
cash  provided  by  operating  activities  of $4.9  million  was net of a $103.1
million  cash inflow from net sales of trading  securities  and also  included a
$87.0 million net cash outflow for related party  transactions,  which  included
$91.0 million of advances to the Company's parent companies.

     Net cash provided by financing  activities totaled $34.0 million during the
first nine months of 1999,  primarily  reflecting $33.2 million of proceeds from
the sale of the Company's  trade  receivables and $37.1 million of proceeds from
the issuance of long-term  debt,  including  the $31.9  million Term Loan,  $3.5
million from an industrial revenue bond and $1.8 million from a promissory note.
Offsetting  such cash inflows was $35.6 million of repayments of long-term debt,
principally  the  repurchase  of  the  remaining  $29.9  million,  in  aggregate
principal amount at maturity, of the Deferred Coupon Notes.

     As a result of the foregoing factors,  cash and cash equivalents  increased
by $38.3  million  during  the  first  nine  months  of 1999 to  $63.3  million,
excluding $44.7 million of trading and  available-for-sale  securities and other
short-term investments.

     See Note 5 to Consolidated  Financial Statements for information  regarding
contingencies.


Year 2000 Compliance

     The Company  has  implemented  a Year 2000  program (i) to address its year
2000 issues,  i.e.,  the  inability of some IT and non-IT  equipment,  including
embedded  technology,  to accurately  read and process certain dates in the year
2000 and  afterwards,  (ii) to investigate the Year 2000 issues of third parties
significant to the Company's business,  and (iii) to establish contingency plans
where appropriate.

     The Company has completed an internal  study and believes it has remediated
all of its core  systems.  The Company has also  evaluated  and  believes it has
remediated  all of its  personal  computers,  mainframe  computers  and computer
network. The Company believes that the core IT systems remediation has corrected
Year 2000 programming issues in all critical areas of the Company's business.


                                       21
<PAGE>



     The Company's  independent  third party  consultants  have  inventoried and
evaluated substantially all of the Company's non-IT equipment, i.e., voice mail,
telephone,   fire  and  security  systems,   numerically  controlled  production
machinery  and  computer-based   production  equipment,   and  the  Company  has
remediated this equipment.

         The  Company  has  requested  compliance  information  in the  form  of
questionnaires  sent to significant vendors and customers.  When appropriate,  a
lack of a response to these  questionnaires was followed by direct contact.  The
Company  has  received  compliance  information  from  substantially  all of its
significant  vendors  and  customers.  Each of  these  significant  vendors  and
customers  has advised  the Company  that they are or expect to be ready for the
Year 2000 by the end of 1999.

     Notwithstanding  the  compliance  information  received from  vendors,  the
Company has  completed  contingency  plans that  include the  identification  of
secondary  suppliers to minimize the impact of any Year 2000 related issues that
may develop. The Company has completed contacting the secondary suppliers in the
form of direct questionnaires to determine their readiness for Year 2000 issues.

     The Company  does not believe  the costs of its Year 2000  program  will be
material to its  financial  position or results of  operations.  The Company has
incurred outside costs of approximately  $1.0 million to date and anticipates no
significant  additional  outside costs.  The Company has charged these costs, as
incurred, against results of operations.

     Management  believes it has taken  reasonable  steps in developing its Year
2000 program.  Notwithstanding these actions, there can be no assurance that all
of the  Company's  Year  2000  issues  or  those of its key  suppliers,  service
providers or customers will be resolved or addressed  satisfactorily  before the
year 2000 commences.  Management believes that the most reasonably likely "worst
case  scenario"  resulting  from Year 2000  issues  could be the  failure by the
Company's key suppliers, service providers, customers and other third parties to
address their Year 2000 issues.  If this were to occur, then the Company's usual
channels of supply and  distribution  could be disrupted  and the Company  could
experience a material  adverse impact on its business,  results of operations or
financial position.

of section 27A of the  Securities  Act of 1933 and section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking  statements are only predictions and
generally can be identified  by use of statements  that include  phrases such as

                Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
                                ABOUT MARKET RISK


     Reference  is made to  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial
Condition  and  Results  of  Operations  in the Form  10-K for a  discussion  of
"Market-Sensitive  Instruments  and Risk  Management."  As of December 31, 1998,
equity-related  financial  instruments  employed by the Company to reduce market
risk included long contracts  valued at $35.2 million and short contracts valued
at $143.2 million.  At October 3, 1999, the Company had long contracts valued at
$1.3  million  and short  contracts  valued at $1.8  million.  Since the Company
marks-to-market  such instruments each month,  there was no economic cost to the
Company to terminate these instruments.

                                     PART II

                                OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

     Plaintiffs Joseph Rossi,  Rossi Florence Corp. and Rossi Roofing Inc. filed
a complaint in the United States  District  Court for the District of New Jersey
on December 24, 1992 against several roofing and siding manufacturers, including
GAF Building Materials Corporation,  several roofing and siding distributors and
one national purchasing cooperative,  alleging that defendants participated in a
group  boycott  against  plaintiffs  to keep  plaintiffs  from  competing in the
Northern New Jersey roofing and siding  distribution  market in violation of the
Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. section 1, et seq., and state antitrust laws.  Plaintiffs
also asserted a tortious  interference claim against defendants under New Jersey
state law. Plaintiffs sought unspecified damages,  including treble and punitive
damages,  and attorney's  fees. The District Court entered  summary  judgment in
favor of GAF Building  Materials  Corporation and four other defendants in March
1997.  The United  States  Court of Appeals for the Third  Circuit  reversed the
District Court's judgment with respect to GAF Building Materials Corporation and
two other defendants. In October 1999, this matter was settled without admission
of liability by any party. In connection with its formation, the Company assumed
any liability that may arise from this action.

Legal Proceedings - Other  Litigation"  contained in the Form 10-K and "Part II,
Item 1. - Legal  Proceedings"  contained in the Company's  Quarterly  Reports on
