                   BUILDING MATERIALS CORPORATION OF AMERICA

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



     Building  Materials  Corporation  of America (the  "Company") was formed on
January  31, 1994 and, as of October 1, 2000,  was a 99.9% owned  subsidiary  of
BMCA  Holdings  Corporation  ("BHC"),  which is an  indirect  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 1, 2000 and the results
of  operations  and cash flows for the periods ended October 3, 1999 and October
1, 2000. 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, 1999 (the "Form 10-K").

         Certain  reclassifications  have been made to conform  to current  year
presentation.


Note 1.  Distribution to GAF

     The Company has  experienced  a reduction  in cash flow caused by increased
energy and raw material costs that it has been unable to fully recapture through
price adjustments.  This reduction has limited the amount of funds available for
distribution to GAF to satisfy GAF's obligations, including its asbestos-related
claims and liabilities. In addition, as discussed in Note 6, GAF has stated that
recent trends in the asbestos  litigation  environment have negatively  impacted
asbestos  defendants.  Accordingly,  on October 1, 2000, the Company  determined
that its receivable  from related  parties of $106.2 million was  uncollectible,
and as a result, such amounts were written-off as a distribution against paid-in
capital  in the  amount  of $39.5  million  and as a charge  to the  accumulated
deficit in the amount of $66.7 million.


Note 2.  Sale of Assets

         On September 29, 2000, the Company sold certain manufacturing and other
assets related to the Compton, California based security products business of LL
Building  Products Inc. for net cash proceeds of  approximately  $27.1  million,
which  resulted  in a  pre-tax  gain of $17.5  million.  The  security  products
business did not have a significant impact on the Company's performance.



Note 3.  Plant Closings

     In  response  to current  market  conditions,  to better  service  shifting
customer demand and to reduce costs,  the Company has closed four  manufacturing
facilities located in Monroe,  Georgia, Port Arthur, Texas,  Corvallis,  Oregon,
and Albuquerque,  New Mexico during the fourth quarter of 2000. As market growth
and customer  demand  improves,  the Company may reinstate  production at one or
more of these  manufacturing  facilities  in the  future.  The effect of closing
these  facilities is not expected to be significant to the Company's  results of
operations.

Note 6.   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") of its parent, GAF Building  Materials  Corporation  ("GAFBMC").  As of
March  30,  1997,  the  Company  had  paid all of its  assumed  asbestos-related
liabilities.  G-I Holdings  Inc.  ("G-I  Holdings")  and GAFBMC have jointly and
severally  agreed to indemnify the Company  against any other existing or future
claims related to asbestos-related liabilities if asserted against the Company.

         GAF has  advised  the  Company  that,  as of  October  1,  2000,  it is
defending approximately 148,867 pending alleged Asbestos Claims, having received
notice of approximately  41,718 new Asbestos Claims during the first nine months
of 2000.  GAF has  advised  that the  Center for Claims  Resolution  ("CCR"),  a
non-profit  organization  set  up  to  administer  and  handle  asbestos-related
personal injury claims against the participating  companies and in which GAF was
a member,  terminated  GAF's  membership,  effective  January 17, 2000.  GAF has
advised the CCR that such  termination was  unauthorized  and that it intends to
take appropriate measures to protect its rights to pursue claims against the CCR
and its member  companies for  reimbursement of amounts that GAF believes it has
been overcharged since 1995 in respect of  asbestos-related  liability  payments
made to the CCR, for damages  arising out of this improper  termination  and for
other improper actions.  Currently, the disputes between GAF and the CCR are the
subject of pending  Alternative  Dispute  Proceedings.  GAF has advised  that in
judicial  proceedings  in connection  with pending  underlying  asbestos-related
claims,  other than the pending  claims  referred to above,  it is disputing its
liability in respect of settlements  entered into by the CCR,  including,  among
other  things,  the propriety of the  allocation  by the CCR of GAF's  liability
payment shares in respect of such settlements.

         GAF has confirmed that it has experienced a significant increase in the
rate  of new  Asbestos  Claims,  principally  involving  claimants  without  any
asbestos-related  impairment,  and amounts demanded to settle these claims.  GAF
anticipates that these trends will continue for the foreseeable future, and that
the  percentage  of  Asbestos  Claims  filed  by  individuals  with no  physical
impairment will remain high. Additionally,  GAF believes that the recent filings
for bankruptcy by three

Note 6.  Contingencies (Continued)

defendants in asbestos litigation,  Owens Corning, The Babcock & Wilcox Company,
and Pittsburgh Corning  Corporation,  as well as potential bankruptcy filings by
other asbestos  defendants,  could increase by a substantial  factor the amounts
demanded to settle  Asbestos  Claims  brought  against,  and thus the  financial
burden on, the remaining asbestos defendants,  including GAF. Moreover,  GAF has
advised that it is experiencing an increasingly  adverse litigation  environment
in particular jurisdictions,  including Mississippi and Texas. GAF believes that
the  trends  referred  to above and the CCR's  termination  of GAF's  membership
resulted from, or were induced by, in no small part,  retaliatory  actions taken
by asbestos  lawyers  against GAF in  connection  with GAF's  active  support of
proposed  legislation  currently  pending in Congress  to address  the  national
asbestos litigation crisis. GAF also believes that the October 5, 2000 filing by
Owens Corning for protection from creditors under the federal bankruptcy laws is
further evidence of how these trends in the asbestos litigation environment have
negatively impacted asbestos defendants.

         GAF and G-I Holdings had available, as of October 1, 2000, an aggregate
of $9.8 million of remaining  insurance  coverage  relating to  asbestos-related
bodily injury claims,  which amount is reduced as  asbestos-related  liabilities
are satisfied.  In addition, the Company has experienced a reduction in its cash
flow which has been caused by increased  energy and raw material  costs that the
Company has been unable to  recapture  fully  through  price  adjustments.  This
reduction has limited the amount of funds  available for  distribution to GAF to
satisfy   GAF's   obligations,   including  its   asbestos-related   claims  and
liabilities.

         GAF has  stated  that it is  committed  to  effecting  a  comprehensive
resolution  of Asbestos  Claims and that it is exploring  options to  accomplish
such   resolution,   including   the  support  of  the  proposed   Congressional
legislation,  but  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  these  efforts  will  be
successful.

     As of October 1, 2000, 212 alleged  Asbestos Claims have been filed against
the Company,  with all such claims having been filed during  September 2000. The
Company believes that it will not sustain any liability in connection with these
or any other  asbestos-related  claims. While the Company cannot predict whether
any  additional  asbestos-related  claims  will be  asserted  against  it or its
assets, or the outcome of any litigation  relating to those claims,  the Company
believes  that  it has  meritorious  defenses  to any  claim  that  could  be so
asserted.  In  addition,  G-I  Holdings  and GAFBMC have  jointly and  severally
indemnified the Company with respect to asbestos-related  claims.  However,  GAF
has advised the Company that the trends described above have continued and, as a
result, have had a material adverse effect on GAF's financial condition.  Should
GAF or GAFBMC be unable to  satisfy  judgments  against  it in  asbestos-related
lawsuits,  its judgment  creditors might seek to enforce their judgments against
the assets of GAF,  including  its holdings of G-I  Holdings  common  stock,  or
GAFBMC,  including  its indirect  holdings of the Company's  common stock.  This
enforcement could result in a change of control with respect to the Company.

         For a further  discussion  with respect to the history of the foregoing
litigation and  asbestos-related  matters,  see "Item 3. Legal  Proceedings" and
Notes  3,  10 and  15 to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  contained  in the
Company's Form 10-K.

Note 6.  Contingencies (Continued)

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 liquidity,  financial  position or results
of operations 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  principally  on the cash flows of the Company.  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,  if and to the extent that the Company is severally liable for such
liability,  should GAF be unable to satisfy  such  liability.  For the  possible
consequences  to the Company of the failure of GAF to satisfy this liability and
other information relating to GAF, see the penultimate paragraph of " - Asbestos
Litigation Against GAF" above.


Note 7.  New Accounting Standard

     In  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.

Note 7.  New Accounting Standard (Continued)

     SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and 138, is  effective  for fiscal
years  beginning after June 15, 2000. If the Company had adopted SFAS No. 133 as
of  October  1,  2000,  the  impact  on  the  Company's  Consolidated  Financial
Statements would not have been significant.


Note 8.  Debt Refinancing - Extraordinary Item

         On July 5, 2000, the Company issued $35 million of 10 1/2% Senior Notes
due October 1, 2002 (the "2002 Notes") at 97.161% of the principal  amount.  The
net proceeds were used to repay the Company's  $31.85 million bank term loan due
2004 with the  remaining net proceeds used for general  corporate  purposes.  In
connection  with the  extinguishment  of such debt,  the  remaining  unamortized
financing  fees of  approximately  $0.3 million,  net of tax, was recorded as an
extraordinary item.


Note 9.  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 then  outstanding  11 3/4%
Senior  Deferred  Coupon Notes due 2004,  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 "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 its then existing credit  facility,  and the other
Senior  Notes.  In  addition,  in  August  1999,  BMIC and BMMC  guaranteed  the
Company's  obligations  under  its  three-year  bank  credit  facility  and  the
Company's then outstanding term loan, and in July 2000, BMIC and BMMC guaranteed
the Company's  obligations under the 2002 Notes. The guarantees of BMIC and BMMC
are full, unconditional and joint and several.

         In addition, in connection with the above transactions, the Company and
BMMC entered into license  agreements,  effective January 1, 1999, for the right
to use intellectual  property,  including  patents,  trademarks,  know-how,  and
franchise  rights owned by BMIC for a license fee charged as a percentage of net
sales. The license  agreements are subject to annual renewal,  unless terminated
by either party to the agreements with 60 days written notice.  Also,  effective
January 1, 1999, BMMC sells all finished goods to the Company at a manufacturing
profit.

     Presented below is condensed  consolidating  financial information for BMIC
and BMMC.  This financial  information  should be read in  conjunction  with the
Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and other notes related  thereto.  Separate
financial  information  for  BMIC  and  BMMC  is  not  included  herein  because
management has determined that such information is not material to investors.

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

Results of Operations - Third Quarter 2000 Compared With
                        Third Quarter 1999

         The Company  recorded  third  quarter 2000 net income of $14.5  million
compared with $7.4 million in the third quarter of 1999.  The net income for the
quarter  included an $11.0 million  after-tax gain ($17.5 million  pre-tax) from
the sale of certain  assets of the  security  products  business  of LL Building
Products Inc. and an after-tax  extraordinary  loss of $0.3  million,  resulting
from the  extinguishment  of debt.  Net  income  for the same  period  last year
included  an  after-tax  nonrecurring  charge  of $1.7  million  related  to the
settlement of a legal matter and an after-tax extraordinary loss of $1.3 million
resulting  from the  extinguishment  of debt.  Excluding the  extraordinary  and
nonrecurring  items in both periods,  net income would have been $3.8 million in
2000 compared with $10.4 million in the third quarter of 1999, with the decrease
primarily the result of lower operating  income,  lower investment  income,  and
higher interest expense.

         The  Company's  net  sales for the third  quarter  of 2000 were  $330.9
million,  a 5.8% increase  over third quarter 1999 net sales of $312.8  million,
with  the  increase  due to net  sales  gains in steep  slope  roofing  products
(previously  referred to as the residential  roofing  products line),  partially
offset by lower net sales of low slope roofing products  (previously referred to
as the commercial  roofing  products  line).  The increase in net sales of steep
slope roofing products reflected higher average selling prices and unit volumes,
while the  decrease in net sales of low slope  roofing  products  resulted  from
lower unit volumes, partially offset by higher average selling prices.

         Operating  income  for the  third  quarter  of 2000 was  $22.1  million
compared  with  $28.2  million  in 1999,  excluding  nonrecurring  items in both
periods.  The lower operating results were primarily  attributable to the higher
cost of energy and raw material  purchases,  principally the cost of asphalt due
to high oil prices and increased demand for asphalt,  partially offset by higher
average selling prices and volumes.

         Interest  expense  for the third  quarter  of 2000  increased  to $13.4
million  from  $12.3  million  recorded  in the same  period  in 1999,  with the
increase primarily  attributable to increased borrowing.  Other expense, net was
$2.7 million for the third quarter of 2000 compared to other income, net of $0.6
million in the third quarter of 1999, with the decrease  primarily  attributable
to lower investment income.

Results of Operations -    Nine Months 2000 Compared With
                           Nine Months 1999

         For the first nine months of 2000,  the Company  recorded net income of
$24.0  million  compared  with $24.9  million for the first nine months of 1999.
Excluding  the impact of an  after-tax  gain from the sale of certain  assets of
$11.0  million and an after-tax  extraordinary  loss of $0.3 million in 2000 and
the after-tax nonrecurring charge of $1.7 million and an after-tax extraordinary
loss of $1.3  million in 1999,  net income for the first nine months of 2000 was
$13.3 million compared with $27.9 million for the same


                                       18
<PAGE>


period last year,  with the decrease  primarily  the result of lower  investment
income, lower operating income, and higher interest expense.

         The  Company's  net sales for the first nine months of 2000 were $946.5
million, a 6.8% increase over last year's net sales of $886.2 million,  with the
increase due to net sales gains in steep slope roofing products. The increase in
net sales of steep slope roofing  products  resulted from higher average selling
prices and unit volumes.

         Operating  income for the first nine  months of 2000 was $65.5  million
compared  with $74.3  million  reported  in the same  period of 1999,  excluding
nonrecurring  items in both  periods.  Lower  operating  results were  primarily
attributable  to  the  higher  cost  of  energy  and  raw  material   purchases,
principally the cost of asphalt due to high oil prices and increased  demand for
asphalt,   partially   offset  by  higher  average   selling  prices  and  lower
manufacturing costs.

         Interest  expense  was $38.3  million for the first nine months of 2000
versus $37.1 million reported in the same period of 1999, and other expense, net
was $6.1 million compared to other income, net of $7.1 million in 1999, with the
decrease primarily attributable to lower investment income.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

         Net cash inflow  during the first nine months of 2000 was $46.2 million
before financing  activities,  and included $50.9 million of cash generated from
operations,  the  reinvestment  of  $41.6  million  for  capital  programs,  the
generation of $5.2 million from net sales of  available-for-sale  securities and
other  short-term  investments,  and $31.7  million in proceeds from the sale of
certain assets of the security products business of LL Building Products Inc.

         Cash  invested in  additional  working  capital  totaled  $51.8 million
during the first nine months of 2000, primarily reflecting seasonal increases in
inventories of $15.5 million and $47.9 million in receivables, including a $47.3
million increase in the receivable from the trust which purchases certain of the
Company's trade accounts receivable, partially offset by a $8.7 million increase
in accounts  payable.  The net cash from operating  activities  also reflected a
$59.6 million cash inflow from related party  transactions  due to the write-off
as a distribution of the receivable from related parties.

     Net cash used in financing activities totaled $9.6 million during the first
nine  months of 2000,  mainly  reflecting  distributions  to related  parties of
$106.2  million,  $35.6 million in repayments of long-term debt and $6.7 million
of financing  fees and expenses  (related to plants  substantially  completed in
Michigan City,  Indiana,  and Shafter,  California),  partially  offset by $70.0
million in borrowings under the Company's bank revolving credit facility,  $34.0
in proceeds  from the issuance of long-term  debt and $36.0  million in proceeds
from the sale of the Company's trade receivables.


                                       19
<PAGE>



         As a  result  of the  foregoing  factors,  cash  and  cash  equivalents
increased  by $36.7  million  during  the  first  nine  months  of 2000 to $92.6
million, excluding $34.4 million of trading and available-for-sale securities.

         See  Note  6  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  information
regarding contingencies.
