Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results
(Cautionary Statements Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995)

The disclosures and analysis in this report contain some forward-looking
statements. This discussion about those statements is provided in accordance
with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future
events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate
strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as "anticipate,"
"estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," and other words
and terms of similar meaning in connection with discussions of future operating
or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to
future actions, prospective products, future performance or results of current
and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies
such as legal proceedings, and financial results. From time to time, we may also
provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials released
to the public.

Any or all of the forward-looking statements made in this report and in any
other public statements may turn out to be incorrect. They can be affected by
inaccurate assumptions we may make or by known or unknown risks and
uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed.
Actual future results may vary materially. We undertake no obligation to update
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. However, you should consult any further disclosures we make
on related subjects in Forms 10-Q, 8-K, 10-K or other reports filed with the
SEC. Other factors besides those listed here could also adversely affect our
businesses.

These are some of the factors that could potentially cause actual results to
differ materially from expected and historical results:

Chapter 11 Filing
..    Factors relating to Armstrong World Industries, Inc.'s ("AWI") Chapter 11
     Filing, such as: the possible disruption of relationships with creditors,
     customers, suppliers and employees; the ultimate size of AWI's
     asbestos-related and other liabilities; the ability to confirm and
     implement a plan of reorganization; the availability of financing and
     refinancing for both AWI and its subsidiaries that are not parties to its
     Chapter 11 Filing; and AWI's ability to comply with covenants in its
     debtor-in-possession credit facility (the "DIP Facility").

Legal Claims
..    Claims of undetermined merit and amount which have been asserted against us
     for various legal matters, including AWI's asbestos related litigation. For
     more information on these matters, see the discussion of Legal Proceedings
     in Part I, Item 3 in this report.

Business Environment
..    Changes in demand for public and private commercial and residential
     building construction and renovation, laws and regulations, foreign
     currency and interest rates, inflation or other related factors affecting
     our businesses. Despite our efforts to foresee and plan for the effects of
     changes in these circumstances, we can not predict their impact with
     certainty. For example, an economic downturn may lead our customers to
     delay or cancel construction plans. For more information on these matters,
     see the discussion of Market Risk in Item 7A of this report.

..    Business combinations among our competitors or suppliers, which could
     affect our competitive position in any of our business units. Similarly,
     combinations or alliances among our major customers could increase their
     purchasing power in dealing with us. If we should enter into one or more
     business combinations, our business, finances and capital structure could
     be affected.

..    The level of success of our new product introductions and those of our
     competitors.

                                       4

<PAGE>

..    The extent to which we successfully achieve integration of and synergies
     from acquisitions as well as the impact of divestitures, restructuring and
     other unusual items that may result from evolving business strategies and
     organizational restructuring.

Retail Environment
..    Business decisions and business conditions that affect our major customers
     and distribution networks. For example, a significant portion of our
     revenue in North America comes from sales to major home center retailers.

..    Increased retail trade consolidation, especially in markets such as the
     United States, could make us more dependent upon key retailers whose
     relative bargaining strength may increase.

..    Changes in the policies of our retail trade customers, such as inventory
     shifts or fluctuations, limitations on access to shelf space and other
     conditions. Many of our customers, particularly our high-volume retail
     trade customers, have engaged with us in continuous efforts to reduce their
     inventory levels and improve delivery fulfillment.

International
..    Various worldwide economic and political factors, changes in the
     competitive structures of the markets, credit risks in emerging markets,
     variations in residential and commercial construction rates, and economic
     growth rates in various areas of the world in which we do business. These
     factors could affect the end-use markets for our products in various parts
     of the world.

..    Changes in intellectual property legal protections and remedies, trade
     regulations, tariff classifications or duty rates, and procedures and
     actions affecting production, pricing and marketing of products,
     intergovernmental disputes, possible nationalization and unstable
     governments and legal systems.

..    Changes in exchange rates can significantly affect our reported results
     from one period to the next.

Raw Materials
..    Availability of raw materials, energy, water and sourced products due to
     changes in business and legal conditions that impact our suppliers,
     including environmental conditions, laws and regulations, litigation
     involving our suppliers, transportation disruptions and/or business
     decisions made by our suppliers.

..    Raw material price increases (for example price increases in hardwood
     lumber, limestone or petroleum-based raw materials such as plasticizers or
     PVCs), energy cost increases (for example price increases in natural gas),
     and changes in distribution and product mix.

                                     PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Armstrong World Industries, Inc. ("AWI") is a Pennsylvania corporation
incorporated in 1891, which together with its subsidiaries is referred to here
as "Armstrong". Through its U.S. operations and U.S. and international
subsidiaries, Armstrong designs, manufactures and sells flooring products
(resilient, wood, carpeting and sports flooring) as well as ceiling systems,
around the world. Armstrong products are sold primarily for use in the
finishing, refurbishing and repair of residential, commercial and institutional
buildings. Armstrong also designs, manufactures and sells kitchen and bathroom
cabinets to single and multi family homebuilders and remodelers.

Armstrong Holdings, Inc. (which together with its subsidiaries is referred to
here as "AHI") is the publicly held parent holding company of Armstrong.
Armstrong Holdings, Inc. became the parent company of Armstrong on May 1, 2000,
following AWI shareholder approval of a plan of exchange under which each share
of AWI was automatically exchanged for one share of Armstrong Holdings, Inc.
Armstrong Holdings, Inc. was formed for purposes of the share exchange and holds
no other significant assets or operations apart from AWI and AWI's subsidiaries.
Stock certificates that formerly represented shares of AWI were automatically
converted into certificates representing the same number of shares of Armstrong
Holdings, Inc. The publicly held debt of AWI was not affected in the
transaction.

Proceedings under Chapter 11
On December 6, 2000, AWI, the major operating subsidiary of AHI, filed a
voluntary petition for relief (the "Filing") under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware (the "Court") in order to use the court-supervised
reorganization process to achieve a resolution of its asbestos liability. Also
filing under Chapter 11 were two of Armstrong's wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Nitram Liquidators, Inc. ("Nitram") and Desseaux Corporation of North America,
Inc. ("Desseaux," and together with AWI and Nitram, the "Debtors"). The Chapter
11 cases are being jointly administered under case numbers 00-4469, 00-4470, and
00-4471 (the "Chapter 11 Case").

AWI is operating its business and managing its properties as a
debtor-in-possession subject to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant
to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, AWI is not permitted to pay any claims
or obligations which arose prior to the Filing date (prepetition claims) unless
specifically authorized by the Court. Similarly, claimants may not enforce any
claims against AWI that arose prior to the date of the Filing unless
specifically authorized by the Court. In addition, as a debtor-in-possession,
AWI has the right, subject to the Court's approval, to assume or reject any
executory contracts and unexpired leases in existence at the date of the Filing.
Parties having claims as a result of any such rejection may file claims with the
Court, which will be dealt with as part of the Chapter 11 Case.

Three creditors' committees, one representing asbestos personal injury claimants
(the "Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants' Committee"), one representing asbestos
property damage claimants (the "Asbestos Property Damage Committee"), and the
other representing other unsecured creditors (the "Unsecured Creditors'
Committee"), have been appointed in the Chapter 11 Case. In addition, an
individual has been appointed to represent the interests of future asbestos
personal injury claimants (the "Future Claimants' Representative"). In
accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, these parties have the
right to be heard on matters that come before the Court in the Chapter 11 Case.

Plan of Reorganization
On November 4, 2002, AWI filed a Plan of Reorganization with the Court and on
March 14, 2003, AWI filed its First Amended Plan of Reorganization and selected
exhibits (as so amended, it is referred to in this report as the "POR"). The POR
has been endorsed by AHI's Board of Directors and is supported by the Asbestos
Personal Injury Claimants' Committee, the Unsecured Creditors' Committee and the
Future Claimants' Representative. At present, AWI has not yet reached agreement
with the Asbestos Property Damage Committee with respect to the terms and
provisions of the POR. The POR provides for, among other things, the treatment
and discharge of all prepetition claims, including all asbestos-related claims.

                                       6

<PAGE>

The POR excludes Armstrong's Nitram and Desseaux subsidiaries. Implementation of
the POR and the treatment of claims and interests as provided therein is subject
to confirmation of the POR in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code. Therefore, the timing and terms of resolution of the Chapter 11 Case
remain uncertain.

Disclosure Statement
On December 20, 2002, a proposed disclosure statement with respect to the POR
was filed with the Court. On December 26, 2002, AWI filed projected financial
information with the Court as Exhibit C to the disclosure statement. On March
14, 2003, AWI filed an amended Disclosure Statement with the Court (as so
amended, it is referred to in this report as the "Disclosure Statement"). Prior
to soliciting acceptances to the POR, the Court must approve a disclosure
statement to be included as part of the solicitation materials and find that the
disclosure statement contains adequate information to enable those voting on the
POR to make an informed judgment to accept or reject the POR.

As indicated in the Disclosure Statement and its exhibits, the projected
financial information and various estimates of value therein discussed should
not be regarded as representations or warranties by AWI, AHI or any other person
as to the accuracy of such information or that any such projection or valuation
will be realized. The information in the Disclosure Statement, including the
projected financial information and estimates of value, has been prepared by AWI
and its financial advisors. This information has not been audited or reviewed by
independent accountants. The significant assumptions used in preparation of the
information and estimates of value are included in Exhibit C to the Disclosure
Statement. The Bankruptcy Court has scheduled the hearing to consider approval
of the Disclosure Statement for April 4, 2003.

The discussions of the POR and Disclosure Statement in this report are qualified
by reference to the full text of those documents as filed with the Court and
filed for reference purposes with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
POR and Disclosure Statement are available at www.armstrongplan.com, where
additional information will be posted as it becomes available.

Objections to the Disclosure Statement
During February 2003, several parties involved in the Chapter 11 Case filed
objections to the initial Disclosure Statement with the Court. Objections were
filed by, among others, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, the Center for Claims
Resolution, Travelers Indemnity Company and Travelers Casualty and Surety
Company, Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., as Indenture Trustee, and the
Unofficial Committee of Select Asbestos Claimants. Additional objections may be
filed against the amended Disclosure Statement. The Court heard and addressed
many of these objections at the February 28, 2003 hearing. Any remaining
objections are expected to be addressed at the April 4, 2003 hearing.

Asbestos Personal Injury Trust
A principal feature of the POR is the creation of a trust (the "Asbestos PI
Trust"), pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, to which all present
and future asbestos-related personal injury claims, including contribution
claims of co-defendants, will be channeled. In accordance with the "524(g)
injunction" to be issued by the Court in connection with the confirmation of the
POR, various entities will be protected from suit on account of present and
future asbestos-related personal injury claims. These entities include, among
others, AWI, reorganized AWI, AHI, AWI's affiliates, and their respective
officers and directors. Claims resolution procedures to be utilized by the
Asbestos PI Trust have been developed. These procedures will govern the
allowance and payment by the Asbestos PI Trust of all present and future
asbestos-related personal injury claims. The Asbestos PI Trust will be funded
with AWI's rights to insurance providing coverage for asbestos-related personal
injury claims, as well as a share of cash, notes, and common stock to be issued
under the POR to creditors, as described below.

                                       7

<PAGE>

Consideration to Be Distributed under the POR
The Asbestos PI Trust and the holders of unsecured claims will share in the POR
consideration that is made up of the following components:

     .    Available Cash, which is comprised of:
          .    Cash available on the effective date of the POR after reserving
               up to $100 million to fund ongoing operations and making
               provisions for certain required payments under the POR,
          .    Any cash drawn, at AWI's sole discretion, under an exit finance
               facility for the purpose of funding distributions under the POR,
               and
          .    Certain insurance proceeds related to environmental matters
     .    Plan Notes of reorganized AWI with a term of 5 to 10 years and/or net
          proceeds from any private offerings of debt securities, and
     .    Substantially all of the outstanding common stock of reorganized AWI

The total amount of Plan Notes will be the greater of (i) $1.125 billion less
Available Cash and (ii) $775 million. However, AWI will use reasonable efforts
to issue one or more private offerings of debt securities on, or as soon as
practicable after, the Effective Date that would yield net proceeds at least
equal to the amount of the Plan Notes prescribed by the Plan. If the private
offerings are successful, the Plan Notes would not be issued. If the offerings
yield proceeds less than the amount of the Plan Notes prescribed by the Plan,
AWI will issue Plan Notes equal to the difference. The private offerings, if
issued, will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be
offered or sold in the U.S. absent registration or an applicable exemption from
registration requirements.

The POR provides that unsecured creditors, other than convenience creditors
described below, will receive their pro rata share of:
     .    34.43% of the new common stock,
     .    34.43% of the first $1.05 billion of
          .    Up to $300 million of Available Cash and
          .    The principal amount of Plan Notes and/or net cash proceeds from
               any private debt offerings of debt securities.
     .    60% of the next $50 million of Available Cash and, if such Available
          Cash is less than $50 million, then 60% of Plan Notes and/or net cash
          proceeds from any private debt offerings of debt securities, in an
          amount equal to the difference between $50 million and the amount of
          such Available Cash, and
     .    34.43% of the remaining amount of Available Cash and Plan Notes and/or
          net cash proceeds from any private debt offerings of debt securities.
The remaining amount of new common stock, Available Cash and Plan Notes and/or
net cash proceeds from any private debt offerings of debt securities, will be
distributed to the Asbestos PI Trust.

Under the POR, unsecured creditors whose claims (other than debt securities) are
less than $10,000 or who elect to reduce their claims to $10,000 will be treated
as "convenience creditors" and will receive payment of 75% of their allowed
claim amount in cash.

Asbestos property damage claims that are still disputed as of the effective date
of the POR will be channeled to a separate trust ("Asbestos PD Trust") under the
POR. If the class of asbestos property damage claimants votes to accept the POR,
the Asbestos PD Trust will be funded with $0.5 million to $2.0 million in cash
based upon the number of disputed claims (which will be funded exclusively from
the proceeds of insurance). If the class of asbestos property damage claimants
rejects the POR, the Court will estimate the aggregate value of asbestos
property damage claims, and the Asbestos PD Trust will be funded exclusively
with rights to insurance in an amount sufficient to provide for payment in full
of asbestos property damage claims, up to the aggregate amount estimated by the
Court. However, if less than 25 disputed asbestos property damage claims remain
outstanding as of the effective date of the POR, AWI may elect, in its sole
discretion, to litigate the merits of each remaining asbestos property damage
claim before the Court and pay any allowed claim in full, in cash, from
insurance proceeds rather than channel the asbestos property damage claims to
the Asbestos PD Trust.

                                       8

<PAGE>

Under the POR, the existing equity interests in AWI will be cancelled. The POR
provides for the potential distribution, with respect to existing equity, of
warrants to purchase shares of reorganized AWI (the "Warrants"). The terms of
the Warrants would all be measured from the effective date of the POR. The
Warrants:
     .    Would constitute 5% of the common stock of reorganized AWI on a fully
          diluted basis:
     .    Would have a 7-year exercisable term; and
     .    Would contain an exercise price equal to 125% of the per share equity
          value of reorganized AWI, as agreed among the financial advisers for
          AWI, the Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants' Committee, the Unsecured
          Creditors' Committee, and the Future Claimants' Representative, and
          which will be set forth in the Court-approved disclosure statement for
          the POR.
The Warrants are estimated to have a value on the effective date of the POR of
approximately $40 million to $50 million.

AHI's shareholders will have no actual vote on the POR. If the POR is
implemented, the only value that will be retained by AHI shareholders is the
potential to receive their ratable share of the Warrants if AHI's Plan of
Liquidation (see discussion below) is approved. If the shareholders and Board of
Directors of AHI do not approve AHI's Plan of Liquidation, AHI will not receive
any Warrants to distribute to its shareholders.

Consideration Value Defined by the Disclosure Statement
In the Disclosure Statement, assuming an Effective Date of the POR of July 1,
2003, and based on estimates of the fair value of reorganized AWI, the total
value of consideration to be distributed to the Asbestos PI Trust, other than
the asbestos product liability insurance policies, will be approximately $2.1
billion, and the total value of consideration to be distributed to holders of
allowed unsecured claims (other than convenience claims) will be approximately
$1.1 billion. Based upon the estimated value of the POR consideration and AWI's
estimate that unsecured claims allowed by the Court (other than convenience
claims) will total approximately $1.65 billion, AWI estimates that holders of
allowed unsecured claims (other than convenience claims) will receive a recovery
having a value equal to approximately 66.5% of their allowed claims. AWI's
estimates of the consideration and potential recoveries are based upon many
assumptions, including:
     .    The estimated reorganization value for AWI is between $2.7 billion and
          $3.3 billion (with a midpoint of $3.0 billion)
     .    The estimated equity value of new common stock is between $25.60 and
          $34.40 per share with a midpoint of $30.00 per share (assuming a
          distribution of 67.5 million shares of new common stock to holders of
          unsecured claims and the Asbestos PI Trust)
     .    The Plan Notes will be in the aggregate principal amount of $775
          million and are worth their face value
     .    AWI expects to have Available Cash of approximately $350 million
     .    The estimated value of the Warrants is between $40 million and $50
          million

AHI's Plan of Liquidation
In connection with the consummation of the POR, the existing equity interests in
AWI will be cancelled, and the common stock of reorganized AWI will be held
principally by AWI's unsecured creditors and the Asbestos PI Trust. The POR
contemplates that AHI will propose to its shareholders that it adopt a plan for
winding up and dissolving itself. The POR provides that, in order for AHI to
receive the Warrants, the shareholders and Board of Directors of AHI must
approve AHI's Plan of Liquidation within one year after the occurrence of the
effective date under the POR. If such approval is not obtained, the holder of
AWI's existing equity interest will not receive the Warrants. The POR provides
that reorganized AWI will pay any costs and expenses incurred in connection with
AHI's Plan of Liquidation. More information regarding the contemplated
dissolution and winding up of AHI will be made available to AHI shareholders in
the future.

Structure of Reorganized AWI
As disclosed within the 2002 third quarter Form 10-Q filing, AWI had planned to
effectuate a "division" under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law in
connection with the consummation of the POR. Under the planned division,
reorganized AWI was to separate into a holding company and separate wholly-owned
subsidiaries carrying out its major lines of business. After further analysis
and review, the previously contemplated division will no longer occur and AWI
will emerge from bankruptcy protection as the parent and primary operating
company.

Next Steps in the Chapter 11 Process
Following the Court's approval of a disclosure statement, the POR will be
submitted to the appropriate parties in interest in AWI's Chapter 11 Case for
voting. Implementation of the POR is subject to voting and its confirmation in
accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. AWI believes that if the
Disclosure Statement is approved in April 2003, a hearing on the confirmation of
the POR will likely occur in the third quarter of 2003. If the POR is confirmed
by the Court at such time, AWI will likely emerge from Chapter 11 shortly
thereafter. Of course, there can be no certainty that all such events will
occur, or if they do, that they will occur in accordance with such timeframes.

Common Stock and Debt Securities
As a result of filing the POR on November 4, 2002, the New York Stock Exchange
stopped trading on the Exchange of the common stock of AHI (traded under the
ticker symbol "ACK") and two debt securities of AWI (traded under the ticker
symbols "AKK" and "ACK 08"). AHI's common stock has resumed trading in the
over-the-counter (OTC) Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol "ACKHQ" and one of
AWI's debt securities has resumed trading under the ticker symbol "AKKWQ".

Bar Date for Filing Claims
The Court established August 31, 2001 as the bar date for all claims against AWI
except for asbestos-related personal injury claims and certain other specified
claims. A bar date is the date by which claims against AWI must be filed if the
claimants wish to participate in any distribution in the Chapter 11 Case. The
Court has extended the bar date for claims from several environmental agencies
until the first quarter of 2003. On March 1, 2002, the Court allowed certain
holders of alleged asbestos property damage claims to file a class proof of
claim against AWI and extended the bar date for asbestos property damage claims
to March 20, 2002. In July 2002, the Court denied the certification of the
proposed class and held that the plaintiffs' proof of claim shall only be
effective as to the named claimants. A bar date for asbestos-related personal
injury claims (other than claims for contribution, indemnification, or
subrogation) has not been set.

Approximately 4,600 proofs of claim (including late-filed claims) totaling
approximately $6.2 billion alleging a right to payment from AWI were filed with
the Court in response to the August 31, 2001 bar date, which are discussed
below. AWI continues to investigate claims. The Court will ultimately determine
liability amounts that will be allowed as part of the Chapter 11 process.

In its ongoing review of the filed claims, AWI has identified and successfully
objected to approximately 1,300 claims totaling $1.6 billion. These claims were
primarily duplicate filings, claims that were subsequently amended or claims
that are not related to AWI. The Court disallowed these claims with prejudice.

Approximately 1,000 proofs of claim totaling approximately $1.9 billion are
pending with the Court that are associated with asbestos-related personal injury
litigation, including direct personal injury claims, claims by co-defendants for
contribution and indemnification, and claims relating to AWI's participation in
the Center for Claims Resolution (the "Center"). As stated above, the bar date
of August 31, 2001 did not apply to asbestos-related personal injury claims
other than claims for contribution, indemnification, or subrogation. The POR
contemplates that all asbestos-related personal injury claims, including claims
for contribution, indemnification, or subrogation, will be addressed in the
future pursuant to the procedures to be developed in connection with the POR.

related matters in Note 32 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Approximately 500 proofs of claim totaling approximately $0.8 billion alleging
asbestos-related property damage are pending with the Court. Most of these
claims were new to AWI and many were submitted with insufficient documentation
to assess their validity. As part of determining whether AWI asbestos containing
resilient floor covering products give rise to property damage liability, the
Court conducted an initial hearing on September 26-27, 2002 to decide the type
of scientific testing allowable under the Federal Rules of Evidence to prove or
disprove whether such products cause building contamination. On October 22,
2002, the Court granted AWI's requested relief and ruled that the methodology
offered by the Asbestos Property Damage Committee in support of its claims is
not a scientifically valid method of quantifying the level of asbestos
contamination in a building. On November 1, 2002, the Court directed that all
property damage claimants provide, in support of their claims, substantiation
that Armstrong flooring products were used in the claimants' buildings. The
Court's deadline for submission of such product identification documentation was
February 10, 2003. Prior to the Court's deadline, AWI reached an agreement in
principle to settle approximately 360 property damage claims, which alleged
damages of $0.2 billion, for approximately $2 million. Any amounts to be paid
are expected to be funded by insurance. This settlement is subject to the
Court's approval, which is scheduled to be heard by the Court on April 4, 2003.
Additionally, 130 property damage claims have been disallowed or withdrawn.
Approximately 100 property damage claims totaling $0.6 billion will remain
unresolved if the settlement is approved. Only 26 of these approximately 100
remaining property damage claims submitted product identification by the
February 10, 2003 deadline referred to above. AWI expects to continue vigorously
defending any asserted asbestos-related property damage claims in the Court. AWI
believes that it has a significant amount of existing insurance coverage
available for asbestos-related property damage liability, with the amount
ultimately available dependent upon, among other things, the profile of the
claims that may be allowed by the Court. AWI's history of property damage
litigation prior to the Chapter 11 filing is described in Note 32 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Approximately 1,800 claims totaling approximately $1.9 billion alleging a right
to payment for financing, environmental, trade debt and other claims are pending
with the Court. For these categories of claims, AWI has previously recorded
approximately $1.6 billion in liabilities. AWI continues to investigate the
claims to determine their validity.

AWI continues to evaluate claims filed in the Chapter 11 Case. AWI has recorded
liability amounts for claims whose value can be reasonably estimated and which
it believes are probable of being allowed by the Court. During the fourth
quarter of 2002, AWI recorded a $2.5 billion charge to increase its estimate of
probable asbestos-related liability based on the developments in the Chapter 11
Case. See Note 32 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion. At this time, it is impossible to reasonably estimate the value of
all the claims that will ultimately be allowed by the Court. However, it is
likely the value of the claims ultimately allowed by the Court will be different
than amounts presently recorded by AWI and could be material to AWI's financial
position and the results of its operations. Management will continue to review
the recorded liability in light of future developments in the Chapter 11 Case
and make changes to the recorded liability if and when it is appropriate.

Financing
On November 1, 2002, the Court announced it had approved AWI's motion to reduce
the amount of its debtor-in-possession credit facility (the "DIP Facility") from
$200 million to $75 million, eliminate the revolving credit borrowing feature,
retain the letter of credit issuance facility and extend the maturity date to
December 8, 2003. As of December 31, 2002, AWI had approximately $28.7 million
in letters of credit which were issued pursuant to the DIP Facility. As of
December 31, 2002, AWI had $76.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, excluding
cash held by its non-debtor subsidiaries. The decrease from the $205.9 million
of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2002 is primarily due to an
intercompany payment of $120 million from AWI to a wholly owned non-debtor
subsidiary under a license agreement for use of intangible assets and
intellectual property. This payment does not affect Armstrong's consolidated
cash balance. AWI believes that cash on hand and generated from operations and
dividends from its subsidiaries, together with lines of credit and the DIP
Facility, will be adequate to address its foreseeable

                                       11

<PAGE>

liquidity needs. Obligations under the DIP Facility, including reimbursement of
draws under the letters of credit, if any, constitute superpriority
administrative expense claims in the Chapter 11 Case.

Accounting Impact
AICPA Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7") provides financial
reporting guidance for entities that are reorganizing under the Bankruptcy Code.
This guidance is implemented in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

Pursuant to SOP 90-7, AWI is required to segregate prepetition liabilities that
are subject to compromise and report them separately on the balance sheet. See
Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for detail of the liabilities
subject to compromise at December 31, 2002 and 2001. Liabilities that may be
affected by a plan of reorganization are recorded at the expected amount of the
allowed claims, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. Substantially
all of AWI's prepetition debt, now in default, is recorded at face value and is
classified within liabilities subject to compromise. Obligations of Armstrong
subsidiaries not covered by the Filing remain classified on the consolidated
balance sheet based upon maturity date. AWI's estimated liability for
asbestos-related personal injury claims is also recorded in liabilities subject
to compromise. See Note 32 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion of AWI's asbestos liability.

Additional prepetition claims (liabilities subject to compromise) may arise due
to the rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases, or as a result of
the allowance of contingent or disputed claims.

SOP 90-7 also requires separate reporting of all revenues, expenses, realized
gains and losses, and provision for losses related to the Filing as Chapter 11
reorganization costs, net. Accordingly, AWI recorded the following Chapter 11
reorganization activities during 2002, 2001 and 2000:

Professional fees represent legal and financial advisory fees and expenses
directly related to the Filing.

Interest income is earned from short-term investments of cash by AWI subsequent
to the Filing.

Reductions to prepetition liabilities represent the difference between the
prepetition invoiced amount and the actual cash payment made to certain vendors
due to negotiated settlements. These payments of prepetition obligations were
made pursuant to authority granted by the Court.

Termination of prepetition lease obligation represents the reversal of an
accrual for future lease payments for office space in the U.S. that AWI will not
pay due to the termination of the lease contract. This amount was previously
accrued in the third quarter of 2000 as part of a restructuring charge when the
decision to vacate the premises was made.

ESOP related costs include a $43.3 million impairment charge related to amounts
borrowed by the ESOP from Armstrong, the trustee of the ESOP. After the Filing,
it was expected that the ESOP would no longer have the ability to repay
Armstrong money it previously borrowed. In addition, a $15.5 million expense was
recorded related to interest and tax penalty guarantees owed to ESOP bondholders
caused by the default on the ESOP bonds.

In order to record prepetition debt at the face value or the amount of the
expected allowed claims, AWI adjusted the amount of net debt and debt issue
costs and recorded a pretax expense of $42.0 million.

As a result of the Filing, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities
are subject to uncertainty. While operating as a debtor-in-possession, AWI may
sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or settle liabilities for
amounts other than those reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
Although a POR and Disclosure Statement have been filed with the Court,
implementation of the POR is subject to confirmation of the POR in accordance
with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. AWI is unable to predict when and if
the POR will be confirmed. Therefore, the timing and terms of a resolution of
the Chapter 11 Case remain uncertain. Further, a confirmed plan of
reorganization could materially change the amounts and classifications reported
in the consolidated financial statements.

Discontinued Operations
In February 2001, AHI determined to permanently exit the Textiles and Sports
Flooring segment and on February 20, 2001 entered into negotiations to sell
substantially all of the businesses comprising this segment to a private equity
investor based in Europe. Based on these events, the segment was classified as a
discontinued operation starting with the fourth quarter of 2000. On June 12,
2001, negotiations with this investor were terminated. During the third quarter
of 2001, AHI terminated its plans to permanently exit this segment. This
decision was based on the difficulty encountered in selling the business and a
new review of the business, industry and overall economy conducted by new senior
management. Accordingly, this segment is no longer classified as a discontinued
operation and amounts have been reclassified into operations as required by
Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 90-16 - "Accounting for
Discontinued Operations Subsequently Retained". All previous periods have been
reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

On May 31, 2000, Armstrong completed its sale of all of the entities, assets and
certain liabilities comprising its Insulation Products segment to Orion
Einundvierzigste Beteiligungsgesellschaft Mbh, a subsidiary of the Dutch
investment firm Gilde Investment Management N.V. for $264 million. The
transaction resulted in an after tax gain of $114.8 million, or $2.86 per share,
in 2000.

See Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of
discontinued operations.

Industry Segments

Financial Information about Industry Segments
See Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for financial information on
Armstrong's reportable industry segments.

Narrative Description of Business
Armstrong conducts its business through the following business segments:

Resilient Flooring
Armstrong is a worldwide manufacturer of a broad range of floor coverings for
homes and commercial and institutional buildings, which are sold with adhesives,
installation and maintenance materials and accessories. Armstrong's Resilient
Flooring products include vinyl sheet and vinyl tile, linoleum and laminate
flooring. Various products offer ease of installation, reduced maintenance
(no-wax), and cushioning for greater underfoot comfort. The business mix is
approximately 55% residential and 45% commercial. The products are sold in a
wide variety of types, designs, and colors to commercial, residential and
institutional customers through wholesalers, retailers (including large home
centers and buying groups), contractors, and to the hotel/motel and manufactured
homes industries.

                                       13

<PAGE>

Wood Flooring
The Wood Flooring segment manufactures and distributes wood and other flooring
products. These products are used primarily in residential new construction and
remodeling, with some commercial applications in stores, restaurants and
high-end offices. The business mix is approximately 95% residential, and 5%
commercial. Wood Flooring sales are generally made through independent wholesale
flooring distributors and retailers (including large home centers and buying
groups) under the brand names Bruce(R), Hartco(R) and Robbins(R).

Textiles & Sports Flooring
The Textiles and Sports Flooring business segment manufactures carpeting and
sports flooring products that are mainly sold in Europe. The carpeting products
consist principally of carpet tiles and broadloom used in commercial
applications as well as the leisure and travel industry. Sports flooring
products include artificial turf surfaces. The business mix is approximately 26%
residential and 74% commercial. Both product groups are sold through
wholesalers, retailers and contractors.

Building Products
The Building Products segment includes commercial and residential ceiling
systems. Commercial suspended ceiling systems, designed for use in shopping
centers, offices, schools, hospitals, and other commercial and institutional
settings, are available in numerous colors, performance characteristics and
designs and offer characteristics such as acoustical control, accessibility to
the plenum (the area above the ceiling), rated fire protection, and aesthetic
appeal. The business mix is approximately 90% commercial, with approximately
two-thirds in improvement projects and the balance in new construction.
Armstrong sells commercial ceiling materials and accessories to ceiling systems
contractors and to resale distributors. Ceiling materials for the home provide
noise reduction and incorporate features affording ease of installation. These
residential ceiling products are sold through wholesalers and retailers
(including large home centers). Framework (grid) products for Armstrong
suspension ceiling systems products are manufactured through a joint venture
with Worthington Industries (WAVE) and are sold by both Armstrong and the WAVE
joint venture.

Cabinets
The Cabinets segment manufactures kitchen and bathroom cabinetry and related
products, which are used primarily in residential new construction and
remodeling. The business mix is mostly residential, with approximately 70% in
new construction and 30% in home improvement projects. Through its nationwide
system of company-owned and independent distribution centers, the Cabinets
segment provides design, fabrication and installation services to single-family
builders, multi-family builders and remodelers under the brand names IXL(R),
Bruce(R) and Armstrong(TM).

Major Customers
Armstrong businesses principally sell products through building products
distributors, who re-sell our products to retailers, builders, contractors,
installers and others. Armstrong also sells a significant portion of our
products to home center chains and industry buying groups. For example, in 2002,
Armstrong net sales to The Home Depot, Inc. totaled approximately $380.3 million
compared to approximately $340.8 million and $373.2 million in 2001 and 2000,
respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of Armstrong's
revenue.

Raw Materials
Raw materials essential to Armstrong businesses are purchased worldwide in the
ordinary course of business from numerous suppliers. The principal raw materials
used in each business include the following:

Business                Principal Raw Materials
---------------------  ---------------------------------------------------------

Resilient Flooring      Synthetic resins, plasticizers, PVC, latex, linseed oil,
                        limestone, films, pigments and inks

Wood Flooring           Lumber, veneer, acrylics, coatings, and plywood

Textiles and            Yarn, latex, bitumen and wool
Sports Flooring

Building Products       Mineral fibers and fillers, clays, starches, newspaper,
                        and perlite, as well as steel used in the production of
                        metal ceilings and manufacturing of ceiling grids

Cabinets                Lumber, veneer, plywood, particleboard, fiberboard and
                        components, such as doors

Armstrong's laminate flooring products are sourced from third parties under
long-term supply contracts.

Armstrong also purchases significant amounts of packaging materials for all
products and uses substantial amounts of energy, such as electricity and natural
gas, and water in our manufacturing operations. In general, adequate supplies of
raw materials were available to all of Armstrong's businesses. Armstrong cannot
guarantee that a significant shortage of one raw material or another will not
occur, however.

Customers' orders for Armstrong products are typically for immediate shipment.
Thus, in each business group, Armstrong keeps sufficient inventory on hand to
satisfy orders, or manufactures product to meet delivery dates specified in
orders. As a result, there historically has been no material backlog in any
industry segment.

Patent and Intellectual Property Rights
Patent protection is important to Armstrong's business in the United States and
other markets. Armstrong's competitive position has been enhanced by U.S. and
foreign patents on products and processes developed or perfected within
Armstrong or obtained through acquisition or license. In addition, Armstrong
also benefits from our trade secrets for certain products and processes.

Patent protection extends for varying periods according to the date of patent
filing or grant and the legal term of a patent in the various countries where
patent protection is obtained. The actual protection afforded by a patent, which
can vary from country to country, depends upon the type of patent, the scope of
its coverage, and the availability of legal remedies in the country. Although
Armstrong considers that, in the aggregate, our patents and trade secrets
constitute a valuable asset of material importance to its business, Armstrong
does not regard any of its businesses as being materially dependent upon any
single patent or trade secret, or any group of related patents or trade secrets.

Armstrong products are sold around the world under numerous brand-name
trademarks that are considered in the aggregate to be of material importance.
Certain of Armstrong trademarks, including without limitation, house marks
Armstrong(TM), Bruce(R), Hartco(R), Robbins(R), and DLW(TM), and product line
marks Allwood(TM), Cirrus(R), Corlon(R), Cortega(R), Designer Solarian(R),
Excelon(R), Fundamentals(R), i-ceilings(R), IXL(R), Medintech(R), Natural
Inspirations(TM), Nature's Gallery(TM), Second Look(R), Solarian(R),
SuperLock(TM), SwiftLock(TM), ToughGuard(R) and Ultima(TM) are important to
Armstrong's business because of their significant brand name recognition.
Trademark protection continues in some countries as long as the mark is used, in
other countries, as long as it is registered. Registrations are generally for
fixed, but renewable, terms.

                                       15

Competition
There is strong competition in all of the industry segments in which Armstrong
does business. Competition in each industry segment and each geographic area
where Armstrong does business includes numerous companies. Principal methods of
competition include product performance, product styling, service and price.
Increasing competition in the U.S. from international producers is apparent in
Armstrong's businesses. Over recent years, there has continued to be excess
industry capacity in many geographic markets, which tends to increase price
competition.

Research & Development
Research and development ("R&D") activities are important and necessary in
helping Armstrong improve its products. Principal R&D functions include the
development and improvement of products and manufacturing processes.

Armstrong spent $55.9 million in 2002, $56.3 million in 2001 and $60.3 million
in 2000 on R&D activities worldwide.

Environmental Matters
Most of Armstrong's manufacturing and certain of Armstrong's research facilities
are affected by various federal, state and local environmental requirements
relating to the discharge of materials or the protection of the environment.
Armstrong has made, and intends to continue to make, necessary expenditures for
compliance with applicable environmental requirements at its operating
facilities. Armstrong incurred capital expenditures of approximately $4.5
million in 2002, $6.8 million in 2001 and $6.2 million in 2000 associated with
environmental compliance and control facilities. Armstrong anticipates that
annual expenditures for those purposes will not change materially from recent
experience. However, applicable environmental laws continue to change. As a
result of continuous changes in regulatory requirements, Armstrong cannot
predict with certainty future capital expenditures associated with compliance
with environmental requirements.

Armstrong is involved in proceedings under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("Superfund"), and similar state laws
at approximately 22 sites. In most cases, Armstrong is one of many potentially
responsible parties ("PRPs") which have potential liability for the required
investigation and remediation of each site, and which in some cases, have agreed
to jointly fund that required investigation and remediation. With regard to some
sites, however, Armstrong disputes the liability, the proposed remedy or the
proposed cost allocation among the PRPs. Armstrong may have rights of
contribution or reimbursement from other parties or coverage under applicable
insurance policies.

Armstrong has been remediating environmental contamination resulting from past
industrial activity at certain of its former plant sites. AWI's payments and
remediation work on such sites for which AWI is the potentially responsible
party is under review in light of the Chapter 11 Filing. The bar date for claims
from several environmental agencies has been extended into the first quarter of
2003.

Estimates of Armstrong's future environmental liability at the Superfund sites
and current or former plant sites are based on evaluations of currently
available facts regarding each individual site and consider factors such as
Armstrong's activities in conjunction with the site, existing technology,
presently enacted laws and regulations and prior company experience in
remediating contaminated sites. Although current law imposes joint and several
liability on all parties at Superfund sites, Armstrong's contribution to the
remediation of these sites is expected to be limited by the number of other
companies also identified as potentially liable for site remediation. As a
result, Armstrong's estimated liability reflects only Armstrong's expected
share. In determining the probability of contribution, Armstrong considers the
solvency of the parties, whether liability is being disputed, the terms of any
existing agreements and experience with similar matters. The Chapter 11 Case
also may affect the ultimate amount of such contributions.

AWI is subject to a unilateral order by the Oregon Department of Environmental
Quality ("DEQ") to conduct a remedial investigation and feasibility study and
any necessary remedial design and action at its

                                       16

<PAGE>

St. Helens, Oregon facility, as well as the adjacent Scappoose Bay. AWI has
denied liability for the Scappoose Bay, but has cooperated with the DEQ
regarding its owned property. Other potentially responsible parties who are not
yet subject to orders by the DEQ include former site owners Owens Corning ("OC")
and Kaiser Gypsum Company, Inc. OC has entered into a settlement with the DEQ.
Pursuant to the settlement, OC will make a lump sum payment to the DEQ in
exchange for contribution protection (including protection against common law
and statutory contribution claims by AWI against OC) and a covenant not to sue.
AWI has negotiated with the DEQ how these funds will be made available for the
investigation and remedial action for the site. AWI has recorded an
environmental liability with respect to the St. Helens remedial investigations
and feasibility study at its facility, but not for Scappoose Bay because AWI
continues to dispute responsibility for any contamination in Scappoose Bay.

Liabilities of $21.2 million at December 31, 2002 and $16.6 million at December
31, 2001 were for potential environmental liabilities that Armstrong considers
probable and for which a reasonable estimate of the probable liability could be
made. Where existing data is sufficient to estimate the liability, that estimate
has been used; where only a range of probable liability is available and no
amount within that range is more likely than any other, the lower end of the
range has been used. As assessments and remediation activities progress at each
site, these liabilities are reviewed to reflect additional information as it
becomes available. Due to the Chapter 11 Filing, $11.4 million of the December
31, 2002 and $6.4 million of the December 31, 2001 environmental liabilities are
classified as prepetition liabilities subject to compromise. As a general rule,
the Chapter 11 process does not preserve company assets for such prepetition
liabilities.

The estimated liabilities above do not take into account any claims for
recoveries from insurance or third parties. Such recoveries, where probable,
have been recorded as an asset in the consolidated financial statements and are
either available through settlement or anticipated to be recovered through
negotiation or litigation. The amount of the recorded asset for estimated
recoveries was $3.3 million and $3.8 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively.

Actual costs to be incurred at identified sites may vary from the estimates,
given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental liabilities.
Subject to the imprecision in estimating environmental remediation costs,
Armstrong believes that any sum it may have to pay in connection with
environmental matters in excess of the amounts noted above would not have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition, or liquidity, although the
recording of future costs may be material to earnings in such future period.
Armstrong recorded expense of $4.5 million, $2.1 million and $1.5 million for
the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Employees
As of December 31, 2002, AHI had approximately 16,500 full-time and part-time
employees around the world, of whom approximately 5,100 are located outside of
the United States. About 68% of the approximately 8,000 hourly or salaried
production and maintenance employees in the United States are represented by
labor unions. This percentage includes all hourly production employees at
company plants and warehouses where labor unions exist, regardless of whether or
not the employees actually pay union dues.

Armstrong employee and labor relations remained good in 2002. During 2002,
Armstrong concluded negotiations for all collective bargaining agreements
expiring during the year without a work stoppage. Throughout 2003, collective
bargaining agreements covering certain employees at eight plants and one
warehouse will expire. Armstrong has already successfully renegotiated one of
these agreements in the Wood Flooring segment. Excluding the successfully
renegotiated agreement, approximately 3,000 employees are covered under
agreements expiring during 2003, which includes approximately 50% of production
employees at both the Wood Flooring and Cabinets segments. Currently,
approximately 800 Wood Flooring employees, who work at two manufacturing
facilities but are covered under one union agreement, are working under expired
contracts. The timing of resolutions is not determinable and work stoppages are
possible. The actual effects could have a material adverse impact on the
operations of the businesses.

Geographic Areas
See Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for financial information by
geographic areas.

Armstrong's non-U.S. operations are subject to local government laws concerning
restrictions on and transfers of investments, tariffs, personnel administration,
and other matters. In addition, consolidated earnings that originate outside the
U.S. are subject to both U.S. and non-U.S. tax laws, to certain exchange and
currency controls, and to the effects of currency fluctuations.

Financial Information Filed With the Court
Armstrong reports its operating results and financial statements on a
consolidated basis. These public reports are available through the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission and other sources, and are also provided free
of charge to investors who contact Armstrong. However, under applicable
bankruptcy law, AWI is also required to file periodically with the Court various
documents, including certain financial information on an unconsolidated basis.
This information includes statements, schedules, and monthly operating reports
in forms prescribed by Federal Bankruptcy Law.

Armstrong cautions that such materials are prepared according to requirements
under Federal Bankruptcy Law. While they accurately provide then-current
information required under Bankruptcy Law, they are nonetheless unconsolidated,
unaudited, and are prepared in a format different from that used in Armstrong's
consolidated financial statements filed under the securities laws. Accordingly,
Armstrong believes the substance and format do not allow meaningful comparison
with Armstrong's regular publicly disclosed consolidated financial statements.
The materials filed with the Court are not prepared for the purpose of providing
a basis for an investment decision relating to the stock of AHI or the debt
securities of AWI, or for comparison with other financial information filed with
the SEC.

Notwithstanding, most of the Debtors' filings with the Court are available to
the public at the office of the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court. Those filings may
also be obtained through private document retrieval services. Armstrong
undertakes no obligation to make any further public announcement with respect to
the documents filed with the Court or any matters referred to in them.

As previously disclosed, on December 6, 2000, AWI and two of its subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter
11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware ("the Court"). On November 4, 2002, AWI filed its
Plan of Reorganization ("POR") with the Court. The POR provides for, among other
things, the treatment and discharge of all prepetition claims, including all
asbestos-related claims and future asbestos-related claims. The POR excludes
Armstrong's Nitram and Desseaux subsidiaries. On December 20, 2002, AWI filed
its Disclosure Statement with the Court and on December 26, 2002, AWI filed
Exhibit "C" entitled "Projected Financial Information," pertaining to the
Disclosure Statement. On March 14, 2003, AWI filed its First Amended Plan of
Reorganization and selected exhibits and an amended Disclosure Statement. The
POR and Disclosure Statement, including amendments, are available on the
following website: www.armstrongplan.com.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Armstrong and AHI world headquarters are in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Armstrong
owns a 100-acre, multi-building campus comprising the site of our corporate
headquarters, most operational headquarters, and our U.S. R&D operations and
marketing and service headquarters. Altogether, our headquarters operations
occupy over 986,000 square feet of floor space.

We produce and market Armstrong products and services throughout the world,
owning and operating 50 manufacturing plants in 15 countries. Twenty-nine of
these facilities are located throughout the United States. In addition,
Armstrong has an interest through joint ventures in 9 additional plants in 5
countries.

to supplement Armstrong's owned warehousing facilities.

Productive capacity and the extent of utilization of Armstrong facilities are
difficult to quantify with certainty because in any one facility, maximum
capacity and utilization vary periodically depending upon the product that is
being manufactured, and individual facilities manufacture multiple products.
Armstrong believes its facilities have sufficient productive capacity to meet
its anticipated needs for the current period and for the next two to three
years. Armstrong believes that its various facilities are adequate and suitable.
Additional incremental investments in plant facilities are made as appropriate
to balance capacity with anticipated demand, improve quality and service, and
reduce costs.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
ASBESTOS-RELATED LITIGATION
AWI is a defendant in personal injury cases and property damage cases related to
asbestos containing products. On December 6, 2000, AWI filed a voluntary
petition for relief ("the Filing") under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
to use the court supervised reorganization process to achieve a final resolution
of its asbestos liability.

Asbestos-Related Personal Injury Claims
Prior to filing for relief under the Bankruptcy Code, AWI was a member of the
Center for Claims Resolution (the "Center") which handled the defense and
settlement of asbestos-related personal injury claims on behalf of its members.
The Center pursued broad-based settlements of asbestos-related personal injury
claims under the Strategic Settlement Program ("SSP") and had reached agreements
with law firms that covered approximately 130,000 claims that named AWI as a
defendant.

Due to the Filing, holders of asbestos-related personal injury claims are stayed
from continuing to prosecute pending litigation and from commencing new lawsuits
against AWI. In addition, AWI ceased making payments to the Center with respect
to asbestos-related personal injury claims, including payments pursuant to the
outstanding SSP agreements. AWI's obligations with respect to payments called
for under these settlements will be determined in its Chapter 11 Case.

A creditors' committee representing the interests of asbestos personal injury
claimants and an individual has been appointed to represent the interests of
future personal injury claimants in the Chapter 11 Case. AWI's present and
future asbestos liability will be addressed in its Chapter 11 Case rather than
through the Center and a multitude of lawsuits in different jurisdictions
throughout the U.S. It is anticipated that all of AWI's current and future
asbestos-related personal injury claims will be resolved in the Chapter 11 Case.

Asbestos-Related Personal Injury Liability
In evaluating its potential asbestos-related personal injury liability prior to
the Filing, AWI reviewed information provided by the Center including, among
other things, recent and historical settlement amounts, the incidence of past
and recent claims, the mix of the injuries of the plaintiffs, the number of
cases pending against it and the status and results of broad-based settlement
discussions. Based on this review, AWI developed an estimated range for its cost
to defend and resolve asbestos-related personal injury claims for six years,
through 2006. This estimated range was large due to the limitations of the
available data and the difficulty of forecasting with any certainty the numerous
variables that could have affected AWI's actual liability for this period. AWI
concluded that no amount within the range was more likely than any other, and
therefore reflected the low end of the range as the liability in the
consolidated financial statements, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.

It is expected that the Chapter 11 process will deal with all current and future
asbestos-related personal injury claims against AWI. There are significant
differences between the way the asbestos-related personal injury claims may be
addressed under the bankruptcy process and the historical way AWI's claims were
resolved. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion on how the Chapter 11 process may address AWI's asbestos-related
personal injury claims.

As of September 30, 2000, AWI had recorded a liability of $758.8 million for its
asbestos-related personal injury liability that it determined was probable and
estimable through 2006. Due to the increased uncertainty created as a result of
the Filing, the only change made to the previously recorded liability through
the third quarter of 2002 was to record October and November 2000 payments of
$68.2 million against the accrual. The asbestos-related personal injury
liability balance recorded at December 31, 2001 was $690.6 million, which was
recorded in liabilities subject to compromise.

As discussed previously, AWI filed an initial POR and disclosure statement with
respect to the POR during the fourth quarter of 2002. In March 2003, AWI filed
an amended POR and disclosure statement. The POR represents the product of
negotiations with and is supported by the Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants'
Committee, the Unsecured Creditors' Committee and the Future Claimants'
Representative. Based upon the foregoing, the discussions AWI has had with
representatives of such entities within the last several months

                                       20

<PAGE>

and the hearings held before the Court in the last several months, management
now believes that it is reasonably likely that the claims addressed in the POR
will be satisfied substantially in the manner set forth in the POR. As a result,
AWI has concluded that it can reasonably estimate its probable liability for
asbestos-related current and future personal injury claims. Accordingly, in the
fourth quarter of 2002, AWI recorded a $2.5 billion charge to increase the
liability. The asbestos-related liability of approximately $3.2 billion at
December 31, 2002, which was treated as subject to compromise, represents the
estimated amount of liability that is implied based upon the negotiated
resolution reflected in the POR, the total consideration expected to be paid to
the Asbestos PI Trust pursuant to the POR and a recovery value percentage for
the allowed claims of the Asbestos PI Trust that is equal to the estimated
recovery value percentage for the allowed non-asbestos unsecured claims.
Pursuant to the POR, all current and future asbestos-related personal injury
claims will be channeled to the Asbestos PI Trust for resolution and, upon
emergence from Chapter 11, reorganized AWI will not have any responsibility for
the claims or participate in their resolution.

AWI is unable to predict when and if this POR will be confirmed. Therefore, the
timing and terms of resolution of the Chapter 11 Case remain uncertain. As long
as this uncertainty exists, future changes to the recorded liability are
possible and could be material to AWI's financial position and the results of
its operations. Management will continue to review the recorded liability in
light of future developments in the Chapter 11 Case and make changes to the
recorded liability if and when it is appropriate.

The $2.5 billion, fourth quarter 2002, charge to increase the asbestos-related
personal injury liability is before recognition of gains from the settlement of
liabilities subject to compromise, which will arise at a later date as a
consequence of the Chapter 11 process.

Collateral Requirements
During 2000, AWI had secured a bond for $56.2 million to meet minimum collateral
requirements established by the Center with respect to asbestos-related personal
injury claims asserted against AWI. On October 27, 2000, the insurance company
that underwrote the surety bond informed AWI and the Center of its intention not
to renew the surety bond effective February 28, 2001. On February 6, 2001, the
Center advised the surety of the Center's demand for payment of the face value
of the bond. The surety filed a motion with the Court seeking to restrain the
Center from drawing on the bond. The motion was not granted. On March 28, 2001,
the surety filed an amended complaint in the Court seeking similar relief. The
Center has filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Court has not
yet ruled on the Center's motion or the complaint. In addition, on April 27,
2001, AWI filed a complaint and a motion with the Court seeking an order, among
other things, enjoining the Center from drawing on the bond or, in the event the
Center is permitted to draw on the bond, requiring that the proceeds of any such
draw be deposited into a Court-approved account subject to further order of the
Court. Judge Alfred M. Wolin of the Federal District Court for the District of
New Jersey, who is also presiding over AWI's Chapter 11 Case, indicated he would
determine these matters. Judge Wolin has not yet ruled on these matters.

Asbestos-Related property Damage Litigation
Over the years, AWI was one of many defendants in asbestos-related property
damage claims that were filed by public and private building owners, with six
claims pending as of June 30, 2001. The claims that were resolved prior to the
Filing resulted in aggregate indemnity obligations of less than $10 million. To
date, all payments of these obligations have been entirely covered by insurance.
The pending cases present allegations of damage to the plaintiffs' buildings
caused by asbestos-containing products and generally seek compensatory and
punitive damages and equitable relief, including reimbursement of expenditures
for removal and replacement of such products. In the second quarter of 2000, AWI
was served with a lawsuit seeking class certification of Texas residents who own
property with asbestos-containing products. This case includes allegations that
AWI asbestos-containing products caused damage to buildings and generally seeks
compensatory damages and equitable relief, including testing, reimbursement for
removal and diminution of property value. AWI vigorously denies the validity of
the allegations against it in these actions and, in any event, believes that any
costs will be covered by insurance.

Continued prosecution of these actions and the commencement of any new asbestos
property damage actions are stayed due to the Filing. In March 2002, the Court
allowed certain alleged holders of asbestos property damage claims to file a
class proof of claim against AWI. In July 2002, the Court denied the

                                       21

<PAGE>

certification of the proposed class and held that the plaintiffs' proof of claim
shall only be effective as to the named claimants. The plaintiffs' motion for
leave to appeal to the U.S. District Court was denied by Judge Wolin on October
3, 2002. As part of determining whether AWI asbestos containing resilient floor
covering products give rise to property damage liability, the Court conducted an
initial hearing on September 26 - 27, 2002 to decide the type of scientific
testing allowable under the Federal Rules of Evidence to prove or disprove
whether such products cause building contamination. On October 22, 2002, the
Court granted AWI's requested relief and ruled that the methodology offered by
the Asbestos Property Damage Committee in support of its claims is not a
scientifically valid method of quantifying the level of asbestos contamination
in a building. On November 1, 2002, the Court directed that all property damage
claimants provide, in support of their claims, substantiation that Armstrong
flooring products were used in the claimants' buildings. The Court's deadline
for submission of such product identification documentation was February 10,
2003. Prior to the Court's deadline, AWI reached an agreement in principle to
settle approximately 360 property damage claims, which alleged damages of $0.2
billion, for $2 million. Any amounts to be paid are expected to be funded by
insurance. This settlement is subject to the Court's approval, which is
scheduled to be heard by the Court on April 4, 2003. Additionally, 130 property
damage claims have been disallowed or withdrawn. Approximately 100 property
damage claims totaling $0.6 billion will remain unresolved if the settlement is
approved. Only 26 of these 100 remaining property damage claims submitted
product identification by the February 10, 2003 deadline referred to above.

Consistent with prior periods and due to increased uncertainty, AWI has not
recorded any liability related to asbestos-related property damage claims as of
December 31, 2002. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for
further discussion of property damage claims in the Chapter 11 Case. A separate
creditors' committee representing the interests of property damage asbestos
claimants has been appointed in the Chapter 11 Case.

Insurance Recovery Proceedings
A substantial portion of AWI's primary and excess remaining insurance asset is
nonproducts (general liability) insurance for personal injury claims, including
among others, those that involve alleged exposure during AWI's installation of
asbestos insulation materials. AWI has entered into settlements with a number of
the carriers resolving its coverage issues. However, an alternative dispute
resolution ("ADR") procedure was commenced against certain carriers to determine
the percentage of resolved and unresolved claims that are nonproducts claims, to
establish the entitlement to such coverage and to determine whether and how much
reinstatement of prematurely exhausted products hazard insurance is warranted.
The nonproducts coverage potentially available is substantial and includes
defense costs in addition to limits.

During 1999, AWI received preliminary decisions in the initial phases of the
trial proceeding of the ADR, which were generally favorable to AWI on a number
of issues related to insurance coverage. However, during the first quarter of
2001, a new trial judge was selected for the ADR. The new trial judge conducted
hearings in 2001 and determined not to rehear matters decided by the previous
judge. In the first quarter of 2002, the new trial judge concluded the ADR trial
proceeding with findings in favor of AWI on substantially all key issues.
Liberty Mutual, the only insurer that is still a party to the ADR, has appealed
that final judgment. Appellate argument originally scheduled for October 2002
was adjourned and was held on March 11, 2003. In July 2002, AWI filed a lawsuit
against Liberty Mutual in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment with respect to
certain policy issues not subject to binding ADR.

One of the insurance carriers, Reliance Insurance Company, was placed under an
order of liquidation by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department during October
2001 due to financial difficulties. The order of liquidation prohibits Reliance
from making any claim payments under the insurance policies until the
liquidation occurs. AWI intends to file a proof of claim against Reliance by the
December 2003 deadline. It is uncertain when AWI will receive proceeds from
Reliance under these insurance policies.

Another insurer, Century Indemnity Company, who previously settled its coverage
issues with AWI, has made some of its required payments under the settlement to
a trust of which AWI is a beneficiary. During January 2002, this insurer filed
an adversary action in AWI's Chapter 11 Case. Among other things, the action
requests the Court to (1) declare that the settlement agreement is an executory
contract and to

                                       22

<PAGE>

compel assumption or rejection of the agreement; (2) declare that the insurer
need not make its present and future scheduled payments unless AWI assumes the
agreement; (3) declare that the insurer is entitled to indemnification from AWI
against any liabilities that the insurer may incur in certain unrelated
litigation in which the insurer is involved; and (4) enjoin the disposition of
funds previously paid by the insurer to the trust pending an adjudication of the
insurer's rights. These issues are before the Court for determination and AWI
believes it is highly unlikely the insurer will prevail in this matter.

On March 5, 2003, the New Hampshire Insurance Department placed The Home
Insurance Company ("Home") under an order of rehabilitation. Less than $10
million of AWI's recorded insurance asset is based on policies with Home, which
management believes is still probable of recovery.

Insurance Asset
An insurance asset in respect of asbestos personal injury claims in the amount
of $198.1 million is recorded as of December 31, 2002 compared to $214.1 million
as of December 31, 2001. Of the total recorded asset at December 31, 2002,
approximately $35.7 million represents partial settlement for previous claims
that will be paid in a fixed and determinable flow and is reported at its net
present value discounted at 6.50%. The total amount recorded reflects AWI's
belief in the availability of insurance in this amount, based upon AWI's success
in insurance recoveries, settlement agreements that provide such coverage, the
nonproducts recoveries by other companies and the opinion of outside counsel.
Such insurance is either available through settlement or probable of recovery
through negotiation, litigation or resolution of the ADR process. Depending on
further progress of the ADR, activities such as settlement discussions with
insurance carriers party to the ADR and those not party to the ADR, the final
determination of coverage shared with ACandS (the former AWI insulation
contracting subsidiary that was sold in August 1969 and which filed for relief
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in September 2002) and the financial
condition of the insurers, AWI may revise its estimate of probable insurance
recoveries. Approximately $80 million of the $198.1 million asset is determined
from agreed coverage in place and is therefore directly related to the amount of
the liability. Of the $198.1 million asset, $24.0 million has been recorded as a
current asset as of December 31, 2002 reflecting management's estimate of the
minimum insurance payments to be received in the next 12 months. As of February
2003, approximately $8.0 million of the $24.0 million current asset is past due
based on a previous settlement agreement. AWI believes collection of the full
amount is still probable and therefore has not established a reserve against
these receivables.

A significant part of the recorded asset relates to insurance that AWI believes
is probable and will be obtained through settlements with the various carriers.
Although AWI revised its recorded asbestos liability by $2.5 billion in the
fourth quarter of 2002, there was no increase recorded in the estimated
insurance recovery asset. While AWI believes that the process of resolving
disputed insurance coverage may result in higher settlement amounts than
recorded, there has been no increase in the recorded amounts due to the
uncertainties remaining in the process. Accordingly, this asset could change
significantly based upon resolution of the issues. Management estimates that the
timing of future cash payments for the recorded asset may extend beyond 10
years.

Cash Flow Impact
As a result of the Chapter 11 Filing, AWI did not make any payments for
asbestos-related claims in 2002 or 2001. AWI received $16.0 million and $32.2
million in asbestos-related insurance recoveries during 2002 and 2001,
respectively. During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case, AWI does not expect to
make any further cash payments for asbestos-related claims, but AWI expects to
continue to receive insurance proceeds under the terms of various settlement
agreements.

Conclusion
Based upon the events described above, management came to a belief that AWI's
asbestos-related liability will be settled substantially in the manner set forth
in the POR. As a result, AWI recorded a $2.5 billion charge to increase its
estimate of probable asbestos-related liability to approximately $3.2 billion at
December 31, 2002, which was treated as subject to compromise. The fourth
quarter charge was determined by calculating an implied liability based upon the
provisions of the POR and Disclosure Statement. However no change was made to
the estimated asbestos-related insurance recovery asset. Many uncertainties

insurance asset. These uncertainties include the impact of the Filing and the
Chapter 11 process, the number of future claims to be filed, the ultimate value
of the asbestos liability, the impact of any potential legislation, the impact
of the ADR proceedings on the insurance asset and the financial condition of
AWI's insurance carriers. Additionally, although a POR and Disclosure Statement
have been filed with the Court, implementation of the POR is subject to
confirmation of the POR in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code. AWI is unable to predict when and if the POR will be confirmed. Therefore,
the timing and terms of resolution of the Chapter 11 Case remain uncertain. As
long as this uncertainty exists, future changes to the recorded liability and
insurance asset are possible and could be material to AWI's financial position
and the results of its operations. Management will continue to review the
recorded liability and insurance asset in light of future developments in the
Chapter 11 Case and make changes to the recorded amounts if and when it is
appropriate.

Environmental Matters
See discussion of Environmental Matters under Item 1 of this report.

Patent Infringement Claims
Armstrong is a defendant in two related lawsuits claiming patent infringement
related to some of Armstrong's laminate products. The plaintiffs have claimed
unspecified monetary damages. Armstrong is being defended and indemnified by its
supplier for all costs and potential damages related to the litigation.

Former Employees Claim
About 370 former Armstrong employees that were separated in two business
divestitures in 2000 have brought two purported class actions against the
Retirement Committee of AWI, certain current and former members of the
Retirement Committee, the Retirement Savings and Stock Ownership Plan (RSSOP),
AHI and the trustee bank of the RSSOP. The cases are pending in the United
States District Court (Eastern District of PA). Similar proofs of claim have
been filed against AWI in the Chapter 11 Case. Plaintiffs allege breach of
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) fiduciary duties and other
violations of ERISA pertaining to losses in their RSSOP accounts, which were
invested in Armstrong common stock. While AHI believes there are substantive
defenses to the allegations and while denying liability, AWI has reached an
agreement to settle this matter for $1.0 million, which will be allocated among
the approximate 370 former employees and treated as convenience claims in the
Chapter 11 Case. The settlement requires approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Department of Labor Discussions
Subsequent to an audit by the United States Department of Labor ("DOL"),
Armstrong has been informed that the DOL is challenging the validity of the use
of certain contributions to fund debt payments made by the Armstrong Employee
Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), as provided for by that plan. Armstrong is
cooperating with the DOL to address its questions and concerns about those
transactions. Armstrong believes that it fully complied with all applicable laws
and regulations governing the plan, and therefore has not recorded any liability
related to this matter.

Inquiries Concerning World Trade Center Collapse
Armstrong has received inquiries from parties (including the National Institute
of Standards and Technology or NIST) investigating the fire and collapse at the
World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001 concerning the types
and amounts of the company's products that were placed into the World Trade
Center towers over time. The products manufactured by the company that are
believed to have been placed in the World Trade Center site including the Tower
buildings in significant amounts included ceiling tile, floor tile (some
containing encapsulated asbestos fibers) and low temperature (non-asbestos) pipe
insulation. The company has not been made aware of any claim or litigation
relating to its products which were in place as of September 11, 2001.

Other Claims
Additionally, AHI, through AWI and AWI's subsidiaries, is involved in various
other claims and legal actions involving product liability, patent infringement,
distributor termination, employment law issues and other actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. While complete assurance cannot be given to the
outcome of these claims, AHI does not expect that any sum that may have to be
paid in connection with these matters will have a materially adverse effect on
its consolidated financial position or liquidity, however it could be material
to the results of operations in the particular period in which a matter is
resolved.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS
As a result of filing the POR on November 4, 2002, the New York Stock Exchange

ticker symbol "ACK"). As of November 14, 2002, Armstrong Holding's Common Stock
trades on the over-the-counter (OTC) Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol
(ACKHQ). As of February 14, 2003, there were approximately 7,067 holders of

There were no dividends declared or paid during 2002 or 2001. The DIP Facility
stipulates that AWI will not declare or pay any dividends either directly or
indirectly.

During 2001, Armstrong issued a total of 2,472 shares of restricted Common Stock
to nonemployee directors of Armstrong pursuant to Armstrong's Restricted Stock
Plan for Nonemployee Directors. Given the small number of persons to whom these
shares were issued, applicable restrictions on transfer and the information
regarding Armstrong possessed by the directors, these shares were issued without
registration in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. This plan was terminated in February 2001.

The following table provides information on securities that were authorized for
issuance under equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2002:

/(1)/  These restricted stock awards have not yet been earned, which is when the
       exercise price will be determined.

The Stock Award Plan was adopted by the AHI Board of Directors effective July
24, 2000. The original purpose of the plan was to promote the long-term success
of AHI by providing a portion of the compensation for officers, directors and
key employees in shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of the plan. The
plan is administered by the Management Development and Compensation Committee
and provides for the grant of Restricted Stock Awards and Stock Awards which may
be subject to certain terms and conditions established by the Committee. The
awards were to be used for the purposes of recruitment, recognition and
retention of eligible participants.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW
Armstrong World Industries, Inc. ("AWI") is a Pennsylvania corporation
incorporated in 1891, which together with its subsidiaries is referred to here
as "Armstrong". Through its U.S. operations and U.S. and international
subsidiaries, Armstrong designs, manufactures and sells flooring products
(resilient, wood, carpeting and sports flooring) as well as ceiling systems,
around the world. Armstrong products are sold primarily for use in the
finishing, refurbishing and repair of residential, commercial and institutional
buildings. Armstrong also designs, manufactures and sells kitchen and bathroom
cabinets to single and multi family homebuilders and remodelers.

Armstrong Holdings, Inc. (which together with its subsidiaries is referred to
here as "AHI") is the publicly held parent holding company of Armstrong.
Armstrong Holdings, Inc. became the parent company of Armstrong on May 1, 2000,
following AWI shareholder approval of a plan of exchange under which each share
of AWI was automatically exchanged for one share of Armstrong Holdings, Inc.
Armstrong Holdings, Inc. was formed for purposes of the share exchange and holds
no other significant assets or operations apart from AWI and AWI's subsidiaries.
Stock certificates that formerly represented shares of AWI were automatically
converted into certificates representing the same number of shares of Armstrong
Holdings, Inc. The publicly held debt of AWI was not affected in the
transaction.

Armstrong conducts its business through the following business segments:
Resilient Flooring, Wood Flooring, Textiles and Sports Flooring, Building
Products and Cabinets. There are two additional segments. The All Other segment,
which relates to a corporate equity investment, and Unallocated Corporate.

The following discussion and analysis corresponds to AHI financial statements,
which includes all of AHI's subsidiaries. Since there are no material
differences between the financial statements of AHI and Armstrong, the following
discussion and analysis pertains to both AHI and Armstrong.

PROCEEDINGS UNDER CHAPTER 11
On December 6, 2000, AWI, the major operating subsidiary of AHI, filed a
voluntary petition for relief (the "Filing") under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware (the "Court") in order to use the court-supervised
reorganization process to achieve a resolution of its asbestos liability. Also
filing under Chapter 11 were two of Armstrong's wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Nitram Liquidators, Inc. ("Nitram") and Desseaux Corporation of North America,
Inc. ("Desseaux," and together with AWI and Nitram, the "Debtors"). The Chapter
11 cases are being jointly administered under case numbers 00-4469, 00-4470, and
00-4471 (the "Chapter 11 Case").

AWI is operating its business and managing its properties as a
debtor-in-possession subject to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant
to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, AWI is not permitted to pay any claims
or obligations which arose prior to the Filing date (prepetition claims) unless
specifically authorized by the Court. Similarly, claimants may not enforce any
claims against AWI that arose prior to the date of the Filing unless
specifically authorized by the Court. In addition, as a debtor-in-possession,
AWI has the right, subject to the Court's approval, to assume or reject any
executory contracts and unexpired leases in existence at the date of the Filing.
Parties having claims as a result of any such rejection may file claims with the
Court, which will be dealt with as part of the Chapter 11 Case.

Three creditors' committees, one representing asbestos personal injury claimants
(the "Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants' Committee"), one representing asbestos
property damage claimants (the "Asbestos Property Damage Committee"), and the
other representing other unsecured creditors (the "Unsecured Creditors'
Committee"), have been appointed in the Chapter 11 Case. In addition, an
individual has been appointed to represent the interests of future asbestos
personal injury claimants (the

                                       28

<PAGE>

"Future Claimants' Representative"). In accordance with the provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, these parties have the right to be heard on matters that come
before the Court in the Chapter 11 Case.

Plan of Reorganization
On November 4, 2002, AWI filed a Plan of Reorganization with the Court and on
March 14, 2003, AWI filed its First Amended Plan of Reorganization and selected
exhibits (as so amended, it is referred to in this report as the "POR"). The POR
has been endorsed by AHI's Board of Directors and is supported by the Asbestos
Personal Injury Claimants' Committee, the Unsecured Creditors' Committee and the
Future Claimants' Representative. At present, AWI has not yet reached agreement
with the Asbestos Property Damage Committee with respect to the terms and
provisions of the POR. The POR provides for, among other things, the treatment
and discharge of all prepetition claims, including all asbestos-related claims.
The POR excludes Armstrong's Nitram and Desseaux subsidiaries. Implementation of
the POR and the treatment of claims and interests as provided therein is subject
to confirmation of the POR in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code. Therefore, the timing and terms of resolution of the Chapter 11 Case
remain uncertain.

Disclosure Statement
On December 20, 2002, a proposed disclosure statement with respect to the POR
was filed with the Court. On December 26, 2002, AWI filed projected financial
information with the Court as Exhibit C to the disclosure statement. On March
14, 2003, AWI filed an amended Disclosure Statement with the Court (as so
amended, it is referred to in this report as the "Disclosure Statement"). Prior
to soliciting acceptances to the POR, the Court must approve a disclosure
statement to be included as part of the solicitation materials and find that the
disclosure statement contains adequate information to enable those voting on the
POR to make an informed judgment to accept or reject the POR.

As indicated in the Disclosure Statement and its exhibits, the projected
financial information and various estimates of value therein discussed should
not be regarded as representations or warranties by AWI, AHI or any other person
as to the accuracy of such information or that any such projection or valuation
will be realized. The information in the Disclosure Statement, including the
projected financial information and estimates of value, has been prepared by AWI
and its financial advisors. This information has not been audited or reviewed by
independent accountants. The significant assumptions used in preparation of the
information and estimates of value are included in Exhibit C to the Disclosure
Statement. The Bankruptcy Court has scheduled the hearing to consider approval
of the Disclosure Statement for April 4, 2003.

The discussions of the POR and Disclosure Statement in this report are qualified
by reference to the full text of those documents as filed with the Court and
filed for reference purposes with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
POR and Disclosure Statement are available at www.armstrongplan.com, where
additional information will be posted as it becomes available.

Objections to the Disclosure Statement
During February 2003, several parties involved in the Chapter 11 Case filed
objections to the initial Disclosure Statement with the Court. Objections were
filed by, among others, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, the Center for Claims
Resolution, Travelers Indemnity Company and Travelers Casualty and Surety
Company, Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., as Indenture Trustee, and the
Unofficial Committee of Select Asbestos Claimants. Additional objections may be
filed against the amended Disclosure Statement. The Court heard and addressed
many of these objections at the February 28, 2003 hearing. Any remaining
objections are expected to be addressed at the April 4, 2003 hearing.

Asbestos Personal Injury Trust
A principal feature of the POR is the creation of a trust (the "Asbestos PI
Trust"), pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, to which all present
and future asbestos-related personal injury claims, including contribution
claims of co-defendants, will be channeled. In accordance with the "524(g)
injunction" to be issued by the Court in connection with the confirmation of the
POR, various entities will be protected from suit on account of present and
future asbestos-related personal injury claims. These entities include, among
others, AWI, reorganized AWI, AHI, AWI's affiliates, and their respective
officers

                                       29

<PAGE>

and directors. Claims resolution procedures to be utilized by the Asbestos PI
Trust have been developed. These procedures will govern the allowance and
payment by the Asbestos PI Trust of all present and future asbestos-related
personal injury claims. The Asbestos PI Trust will be funded with AWI's rights
to insurance providing coverage for asbestos-related personal injury claims, as
well as a share of cash, notes, and common stock to be issued under the POR to
creditors, as described below.

Consideration to Be Distributed under the POR
The Asbestos PI Trust and the holders of unsecured claims will share in the POR
consideration that is made up of the following components:

    .  Available Cash, which is comprised of:
        .   Cash available on the effective date of the POR after reserving
            up to $100 million to fund ongoing operations and making
            provisions for certain required payments under the POR,
        .   Any cash drawn, at AWI's sole discretion, under an exit finance
            facility for the purpose of funding distributions under the POR, and
        .   Certain insurance proceeds related to environmental matters
    .  Plan Notes of reorganized AWI with a term of 5 to 10 years and/or net
       proceeds from any private offerings of debt securities, and
    .  Substantially all of the outstanding common stock of reorganized AWI

The total amount of Plan Notes will be the greater of (i) $1.125 billion less
Available Cash and (ii) $775 million. However, AWI will use reasonable efforts
to issue one or more private offerings of debt securities on, or as soon as
practicable after, the Effective Date that would yield net proceeds at least
equal to the amount of the Plan Notes prescribed by the Plan. If the private
offerings are successful, the Plan Notes would not be issued. If the offerings
yield proceeds less than the amount of the Plan Notes prescribed by the Plan,
AWI will issue Plan Notes equal to the difference. The private offerings, if
issued, will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be
offered or sold in the U.S. absent registration or an applicable exemption from
registration requirements.

The POR provides that unsecured creditors, other than convenience creditors
described below, will receive their pro rata share of:
    .  34.43% of the new common stock,
    .  34.43% of the first $1.05 billion of
           .  Up to $300 million of Available Cash and
           .  The principal amount of Plan Notes and/or net cash proceeds from
              any private debt offerings of debt securities.
    .  60% of the next $50 million of Available Cash and, if such Available Cash
       is less than $50 million, then 60% of Plan Notes and/or net cash proceeds
       from any private debt offerings of debt securities, in an amount equal to
       the difference between $50 million and the amount of such Available Cash,
       and
    .  34.43% of the remaining amount of Available Cash and Plan Notes and/or
       net cash proceeds from any private debt offerings of debt securities.
The remaining amount of new common stock, Available Cash and Plan Notes and/or
net cash proceeds from any private debt offerings of debt securities, will be
distributed to the Asbestos PI Trust.

Under the POR, unsecured creditors whose claims (other than debt securities) are
less than $10,000 or who elect to reduce their claims to $10,000 will be treated
as "convenience creditors" and will receive payment of 75% of their allowed
claim amount in cash.

Asbestos property damage claims that are still disputed as of the effective date
of the POR will be channeled to a separate trust ("Asbestos PD Trust") under the
POR. If the class of asbestos property damage claimants votes to accept the POR,
the Asbestos PD Trust will be funded with $0.5 million to $2.0 million in cash
based upon the number of disputed claims (which will be funded exclusively from
the proceeds of insurance). If the class of asbestos property damage claimants
rejects the POR, the Court will estimate the aggregate value of asbestos
property damage claims, and the Asbestos PD Trust will be

                                       30

<PAGE>

funded exclusively with rights to insurance in an amount sufficient to provide
for payment in full of asbestos property damage claims, up to the aggregate
amount estimated by the Court. However, if less than 25 disputed asbestos
property damage claims remain outstanding as of the effective date of the POR,
AWI may elect, in its sole discretion, to litigate the merits of each remaining
asbestos property damage claim before the Court and pay any allowed claim in
full, in cash, from insurance proceeds rather than channel the asbestos property
damage claims to the Asbestos PD Trust.

Under the POR, the existing equity interests in AWI will be cancelled. The POR
provides for the potential distribution, with respect to existing equity, of
warrants to purchase shares of reorganized AWI (the "Warrants"). The terms of
the Warrants would all be measured from the effective date of the POR. The
Warrants:
    .  Would constitute 5% of the common stock of reorganized AWI on a fully
       diluted basis:
    .  Would have a 7-year exercisable term; and
    .  Would contain an exercise price equal to 125% of the per share equity
       value of reorganized AWI, as agreed among the financial advisers for
       AWI, the Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants' Committee, the Unsecured
       Creditors' Committee, and the Future Claimants' Representative, and
       which will be set forth in the Court-approved disclosure statement for
       the POR.
The Warrants are estimated to have a value on the effective date of the POR of
approximately $40 million to $50 million.

AHI's shareholders will have no actual vote on the POR. If the POR is
implemented, the only value that will be retained by AHI shareholders is the
potential to receive their ratable share of the Warrants if AHI's Plan of
Liquidation (see discussion below) is approved. If the shareholders and Board of
Directors of AHI do not approve AHI's Plan of Liquidation, AHI will not receive
any Warrants to distribute to its shareholders.

Consideration Value Defined by the Disclosure Statement
In the Disclosure Statement, assuming an Effective Date of the POR of July 1,
2003, and based on estimates of the fair value of reorganized AWI, the total
value of consideration to be distributed to the Asbestos PI Trust, other than
the asbestos product liability insurance policies, will be approximately $2.1
billion, and the total value of consideration to be distributed to holders of
allowed unsecured claims (other than convenience claims) will be approximately
$1.1 billion. Based upon the estimated value of the POR consideration and AWI's
estimate that unsecured claims allowed by the Court (other than convenience
claims) will total approximately $1.65 billion, AWI estimates that holders of
allowed unsecured claims (other than convenience claims) will receive a recovery
having a value equal to approximately 66.5% of their allowed claims. AWI's
estimates of the consideration and potential recoveries are based upon many
assumptions, including:
    .  The estimated reorganization value for AWI is between $2.7 billion and
       $3.3 billion (with a midpoint of $3.0 billion)
    .  The estimated equity value of new common stock is between $25.60 and
       $34.40 per share with a midpoint of $30.00 per share (assuming a
       distribution of 67.5 million shares of new common stock to holders of
       unsecured claims and the Asbestos PI Trust)
    .  The Plan Notes will be in the aggregate principal amount of $775 million
       and are worth their face value
    .  AWI expects to have Available Cash of approximately $350 million
    .  The estimated value of the Warrants is between $40 million and $50
       million

AHI's Plan of Liquidation
In connection with the consummation of the POR, the existing equity interests in
AWI will be cancelled, and the common stock of reorganized AWI will be held
principally by AWI's unsecured creditors and the Asbestos PI Trust. The POR
contemplates that AHI will propose to its shareholders that it adopt a plan for
winding up and dissolving itself. The POR provides that, in order for AHI to
receive the Warrants, the shareholders and Board of Directors of AHI must
approve AHI's Plan of Liquidation within one year after the occurrence of the
effective date under the POR. If such approval is not obtained, the holder of
AWI's existing equity interest will not receive the Warrants. The POR provides
that

                                       31

<PAGE>

reorganized AWI will pay any costs and expenses incurred in connection with
AHI's Plan of Liquidation. More information regarding the contemplated
dissolution and winding up of AHI will be made available to AHI shareholders in
the future.

Structure of Reorganized AWI
As disclosed within the 2002 third quarter Form 10-Q filing, AWI had planned to
effectuate a "division" under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law in
connection with the consummation of the POR. Under the planned division,
reorganized AWI was to separate into a holding company and separate wholly-owned
subsidiaries carrying out its major lines of business. After further analysis
and review, the previously contemplated division will no longer occur and AWI
will emerge from bankruptcy protection as the parent and primary operating
company.

Next Steps in the Chapter 11 Process
Following the Court's approval of a disclosure statement, the POR will be
submitted to the appropriate parties in interest in AWI's Chapter 11 Case for
voting. Implementation of the POR is subject to voting and its confirmation in
accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. AWI believes that if the
Disclosure Statement is approved in April 2003, a hearing on the confirmation of
the POR will likely occur in the third quarter of 2003. If the POR is confirmed
by the Court at such time, AWI will likely emerge from Chapter 11 shortly
thereafter. Of course, there can be no certainty that all such events will
occur, or if they do, that they will occur in accordance with such timeframes.

Common Stock and Debt Securities
As a result of filing the POR on November 4, 2002, the New York Stock Exchange
stopped trading on the Exchange of the common stock of AHI (traded under the
ticker symbol "ACK") and two debt securities of AWI (traded under the ticker
symbols "AKK" and "ACK 08"). AHI's common stock has resumed trading in the
over-the-counter (OTC) Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol "ACKHQ" and one of
AWI's debt securities has resumed trading under the ticker symbol "AKKWQ".

Bar Date for Filing Claims
The Court established August 31, 2001 as the bar date for all claims against AWI
except for asbestos-related personal injury claims and certain other specified
claims. A bar date is the date by which claims against AWI must be filed if the
claimants wish to participate in any distribution in the Chapter 11 Case. The
Court has extended the bar date for claims from several environmental agencies
until the first quarter of 2003. On March 1, 2002, the Court allowed certain
holders of alleged asbestos property damage claims to file a class proof of
claim against AWI and extended the bar date for asbestos property damage claims
to March 20, 2002. In July 2002, the Court denied the certification of the
proposed class and held that the plaintiffs' proof of claim shall only be
effective as to the named claimants. A bar date for asbestos-related personal
injury claims (other than claims for contribution, indemnification, or
subrogation) has not been set.

Approximately 4,600 proofs of claim (including late-filed claims) totaling
approximately $6.2 billion alleging a right to payment from AWI were filed with
the Court in response to the August 31, 2001 bar date, which are discussed
below. AWI continues to investigate claims. The Court will ultimately determine
liability amounts that will be allowed as part of the Chapter 11 process.

In its ongoing review of the filed claims, AWI has identified and successfully
objected to approximately 1,300 claims totaling $1.6 billion. These claims were
primarily duplicate filings, claims that were subsequently amended or claims
that are not related to AWI. The Court disallowed these claims with prejudice.

Approximately 1,000 proofs of claim totaling approximately $1.9 billion are
pending with the Court that are associated with asbestos-related personal injury
litigation, including direct personal injury claims, claims by co-defendants for
contribution and indemnification, and claims relating to AWI's participation in
the Center for Claims Resolution (the "Center"). As stated above, the bar date
of August 31, 2001 did not apply to asbestos-related personal injury claims
other than claims for contribution, indemnification, or subrogation. The POR
contemplates that all asbestos-related personal injury claims, including claims
for

                                       32

<PAGE>

contribution, indemnification, or subrogation, will be addressed in the future
pursuant to the procedures to be developed in connection with the POR. See
further discussion regarding AWI's liability for asbestos-related matters in
Note 32 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Approximately 500 proofs of claim totaling approximately $0.8 billion alleging
asbestos-related property damage are pending with the Court. Most of these
claims were new to AWI and many were submitted with insufficient documentation
to assess their validity. As part of determining whether AWI asbestos containing
resilient floor covering products give rise to property damage liability, the
Court conducted an initial hearing on September 26 - 27, 2002 to decide the type
of scientific testing allowable under the Federal Rules of Evidence to prove or
disprove whether such products cause building contamination. On October 22,
2002, the Court granted AWI's requested relief and ruled that the methodology
offered by the Asbestos Property Damage Committee in support of its claims is
not a scientifically valid method of quantifying the level of asbestos
contamination in a building. On November 1, 2002, the Court directed that all
property damage claimants provide, in support of their claims, substantiation
that Armstrong flooring products were used in the claimants' buildings. The
Court's deadline for submission of such product identification documentation was
February 10, 2003. Prior to the Court's deadline, AWI reached an agreement in
principle to settle approximately 360 property damage claims, which alleged
damages of $0.2 billion, for approximately $2 million. Any amounts to be paid
are expected to be funded by insurance. This settlement is subject to the
Court's approval, which is scheduled to be heard by the Court on April 4, 2003.
Additionally, 130 property damage claims have been disallowed or withdrawn.
Approximately 100 property damage claims totaling $0.6 billion will remain
unresolved if the settlement is approved. Only 26 of these approximately 100
remaining property damage claims submitted product identification by the
February 10, 2003 deadline referred to above. AWI expects to continue vigorously
defending any asserted asbestos-related property damage claims in the Court. AWI
believes that it has a significant amount of existing insurance coverage
available for asbestos-related property damage liability, with the amount
ultimately available dependent upon, among other things, the profile of the
claims that may be allowed by the Court. AWI's history of property damage
litigation prior to the Chapter 11 filing is described in Note 32 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Approximately 1,800 claims totaling approximately $1.9 billion alleging a right
to payment for financing, environmental, trade debt and other claims are pending
with the Court. For these categories of claims, AWI has previously recorded
approximately $1.6 billion in liabilities. AWI continues to investigate the
claims to determine their validity.

AWI continues to evaluate claims filed in the Chapter 11 Case. AWI has recorded
liability amounts for claims whose value can be reasonably estimated and which
it believes are probable of being allowed by the Court. During the fourth
quarter of 2002, AWI recorded a $2.5 billion charge to increase its estimate of
probable asbestos-related liability based on the developments in the Chapter 11
Case. See Note 32 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion. At this time, it is impossible to reasonably estimate the value of
all the claims that will ultimately be allowed by the Court. However, it is
likely the value of the claims ultimately allowed by the Court will be different
than amounts presently recorded by AWI and could be material to AWI's financial
position and the results of its operations. Management will continue to review
the recorded liability in light of future developments in the Chapter 11 Case
and make changes to the recorded liability if and when it is appropriate.

Financing
On November 1, 2002, the Court announced it had approved AWI's motion to reduce
the amount of its debtor-in-possession credit facility (the "DIP Facility") from
$200 million to $75 million, eliminate the revolving credit borrowing feature,
retain the letter of credit issuance facility and extend the maturity date to
December 8, 2003. As of December 31, 2002, AWI had approximately $28.7 million
in letters of credit which were issued pursuant to the DIP Facility. As of
December 31, 2002, AWI had $76.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, excluding
cash held by its non-debtor subsidiaries. The decrease from the $205.9 million
of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2002 is primarily due to an
intercompany payment of $120 million from AWI to a wholly owned non-debtor
subsidiary under a license agreement for use of intangible assets and
intellectual property. This payment does not affect Armstrong's consolidated
cash

                                       33

<PAGE>

balance. AWI believes that cash on hand and generated from operations and
dividends from its subsidiaries, together with lines of credit and the DIP
Facility, will be adequate to address its foreseeable liquidity needs.
Obligations under the DIP Facility, including reimbursement of draws under the
letters of credit, if any, constitute superpriority administrative expense
claims in the Chapter 11 Case.

Accounting Impact
AICPA Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7") provides financial
reporting guidance for entities that are reorganizing under the Bankruptcy Code.
This guidance is implemented in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

Pursuant to SOP 90-7, AWI is required to segregate prepetition liabilities that
are subject to compromise and report them separately on the balance sheet. See
Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for detail of the liabilities
subject to compromise at December 31, 2002 and 2001. Liabilities that may be
affected by a plan of reorganization are recorded at the expected amount of the
allowed claims, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. Substantially
all of AWI's prepetition debt, now in default, is recorded at face value and is
classified within liabilities subject to compromise. Obligations of Armstrong
subsidiaries not covered by the Filing remain classified on the consolidated
balance sheet based upon maturity date. AWI's estimated liability for
asbestos-related personal injury claims is also recorded in liabilities subject
to compromise. See Note 32 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion of AWI's asbestos liability.

Additional prepetition claims (liabilities subject to compromise) may arise due
to the rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases, or as a result of
the allowance of contingent or disputed claims.

SOP 90-7 also requires separate reporting of all revenues, expenses, realized
gains and losses, and provision for losses related to the Filing as Chapter 11
reorganization costs, net. Accordingly, AWI recorded the following Chapter 11
reorganization activities during 2002, 2001 and 2000:

Professional fees represent legal and financial advisory fees and expenses
directly related to the Filing.

Interest income is earned from short-term investments of cash by AWI subsequent
to the Filing.

Reductions to prepetition liabilities represent the difference between the
prepetition invoiced amount and the actual cash payment made to certain vendors
due to negotiated settlements. These payments of prepetition obligations were
made pursuant to authority granted by the Court.

Termination of prepetition lease obligation represents the reversal of an
accrual for future lease payments for office space in the U.S. that AWI will not
pay due to the termination of the lease contract. This amount was previously
accrued in the third quarter of 2000 as part of a restructuring charge when the
decision to vacate the premises was made.

ESOP related costs include a $43.3 million impairment charge related to amounts
borrowed by the ESOP from Armstrong, the trustee of the ESOP. After the Filing,
it was expected that the ESOP would no longer have the ability to repay
Armstrong money it previously borrowed. In addition, a $15.5 million expense was
recorded related to interest and tax penalty guarantees owed to ESOP bondholders
caused by the default on the ESOP bonds.

In order to record prepetition debt at the face value or the amount of the
expected allowed claims, AWI adjusted the amount of net debt and debt issue
costs and recorded a pretax expense of $42.0 million.

As a result of the Filing, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities
are subject to uncertainty. While operating as a debtor-in-possession, AWI may
sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or settle liabilities for
amounts other than those reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
Although a POR and Disclosure Statement have been filed with the Court,
implementation of the POR is subject to confirmation of the POR in accordance
with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. AWI is unable to predict when and if
the POR will be confirmed. Therefore, the timing and terms of a resolution of
the Chapter 11 Case remain uncertain. Further, a confirmed plan of
reorganization could materially change the amounts and classifications reported
in the consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AHI utilizes estimates to record many items including asbestos-related liability
and insurance asset recoveries, allowances for bad debts, inventory obsolescence
and lower of cost or market changes, warranty, workers compensation, general
liability and environmental claims. In assessing approximate estimates,
management considers all known relevant information and confers with outside
parties, including outside counsel, where appropriate.

The following are the critical accounting policies that management believes
could have a significant impact to the financial statements if the estimates and
judgments used by management turn out to be incorrect based on the actual
outcome of future events covered by these estimates. In addition, management has
discussed the application of these critical accounting policies with our Audit
Committee.

Asbestos Related Estimates - AHI records contingent liabilities, including
asbestos-related liabilities, when a loss is probable and the amount of loss can
be reasonably estimated. Prior to its Chapter 11 Filing, AWI estimated its
probable asbestos-related personal injury liability based upon a variety of
factors including historical settlement amounts, the incidence of past claims,
the mix of the injuries and occupations of the plaintiffs, the number of cases
pending against it and the status and results of broad-based settlement
discussions. As of September 30, 2000, AWI had recorded a liability of $758.8
million for its asbestos related personal injury liability that it determined
was probable and estimable through 2006. Due to the increased uncertainty
created as a result of the Filing, the only change made to the previously
recorded liability through the third quarter of 2002 was to record October and
November 2000 payments of $68.2 million against the accrual. The
asbestos-related personal injury liability balance recorded at December 31, 2001
was $690.6 million, which was recorded in liabilities subject to compromise.

As discussed previously AWI filed an initial POR and disclosure statement with
respect to the POR during the fourth quarter of 2002. In March 2003, AWI filed
an amended POR and disclosure statement. The POR represents the product of
negotiations with and is supported by the Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants'
Committee, the Unsecured Creditors' Committee and the Future Claimants'
Representative. Based upon the foregoing, the discussions AWI has had with
representatives of such entities within the last several months and the hearings
held before the Court in the last several months, management now believes that
it is reasonably likely that the claims addressed in the POR will be satisfied
substantially in the manner set forth in the POR. As a result, AWI has concluded
that it can reasonably estimate its probable liability for asbestos-related
current and future personal injury claims. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of
2002, AWI recorded a $2.5 billion charge to increase the liability. The
asbestos-related liability of approximately $3.2 billion at December 31, 2002,
which was treated as subject to compromise, represents the estimated amount of
liability that is implied based upon the negotiated resolution reflected

                                       35

<PAGE>

in the POR, the total consideration expected to be paid to the Asbestos PI Trust
pursuant to the POR and a recovery value percentage for the allowed claims of
the Asbestos PI Trust that is equal to the estimated recovery value percentage
for the allowed non-asbestos unsecured claims. Pursuant to the POR, all current
and future asbestos-related personal injury claims will be channeled to the
Asbestos PI Trust for resolution and, upon emergence from Chapter 11,
reorganized AWI will not have any responsibility for the claims or participate
in their resolution.

AWI is unable to predict when and if this POR will be confirmed. Therefore, the
timing and terms of resolution of the Chapter 11 Case remain uncertain. As long
as this uncertainty exists, future changes to the recorded liability are
possible and could be material to AWI's financial position and the results of
its operations. Management will continue to review the recorded liability in
light of future developments in the Chapter 11 Case and make changes to the
recorded liability if and when it is appropriate.

Additionally, AHI has recorded $198.1 million of estimated insurance recoveries
as of December 31, 2002 related to its asbestos liability. Of the total recorded
asset at December 31, 2002, approximately $35.7 million represents partial
settlement for previous claims that will be paid in a fixed and determinable
flow and is reported at its net present value discounted at 6.50%. Approximately
$80 million of the $198.1 million asset is determined from agreed coverage in
place and is therefore directly related to the amount of the asbestos liability.
The total amount recorded reflects the belief in the availability of insurance
in this amount, based upon prior success in insurance recoveries, settlement
agreements that provide such coverage, the nonproducts recoveries by other
companies and the opinion of outside counsel. Such insurance is either available
through settlement or probable of recovery through negotiation, litigation or
resolution of the ADR process. A significant part of the recorded asset relates
to insurance that AWI believes is probable and will be obtained through
settlements with the various carriers. Although AWI revised its recorded
asbestos liability by $2.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2002, there was no
increase recorded in the estimated insurance recovery asset. While AWI believes
that the process of resolving disputed insurance coverage may result in higher
settlement amounts than recorded, there has been no increase in the recorded
amounts due to the uncertainties remaining in the process. The estimate of
probable recoveries may be revised depending on the developments in the matters
discussed above as well as events that occur in AWI's Chapter 11 Case.

U.S. Pension Credit and Postretirement Benefit Costs - AHI maintains pension and
postretirement plans throughout the world, with the most significant plans
located in the U.S. Our pension and postretirement benefit costs are developed
from actuarial valuations. These valuations have been consistently calculated
and determined based upon a number of assumptions. These assumptions are
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
Each assumption represents management's best estimate of anticipated future
experience. The assumptions that have the most significant impact on reported
results are the discount rate, the estimated long-term return on plan assets and
the estimated health care cost trend rate, which are updated on an annual basis
at the beginning of each year.

The discount rate is used in the measurement of the retirement liabilities and
the interest cost component of net periodic pension and postretirement cost.
AHI's actuary provides the expected modified duration of AHI's liabilities.
Using this approach, for the U.S. plans management determines the appropriate
discount rate by referencing the yield on high quality fixed income securities
of a similar duration as well as the yield for Moody's AA-rated corporate bonds.
As of December 31, 2002, AHI assumed a discount rate of 6.50% compared with a
discount rate of 7.00% as of December 31, 2001 for the U.S. plans. A one-quarter
percentage point decrease in the discount rate would reduce 2003 operating
income by $1.3 million, while a one-quarter percentage point increase in the
discount rate would increase 2003 operating income by $2.0 million.

Effective January 1, 2003, AHI updated the mortality table used in its U.S.
pension and postretirement benefit cost calculations to reflect more current
information. The new table (RP2000) is based upon actual 1990 to 1994 general
population mortality rates, with improvements projected to 2003. The previous
table was based upon actual 1964 to 1968 general population mortality rates,
with

                                       36

<PAGE>

improvements projected to 1983, which is the table currently designated by the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation and Internal Revenue Service for various
purposes. The estimated impact of this change on 2003 results is a pretax
reduction in the US pension credit of $2.6 million and a pretax increase in
postretirement expense of $1.9 million.

AHI has two U.S. defined benefit pension plans, a qualified funded plan and a
nonqualified unfunded plan. For the funded plan, the expected long-term return
on plan assets represents a long-term view (approximately 10-20 years) of the
estimated investment return performance of the pension plan's assets that will
be used to satisfy future retirement benefit payments. This percentage is
determined by analyzing the composition and allocation of the assets in the
pension plan, the current performance and expectation of future performance. AHI
also receives input from investment professionals and academic sources on the
expected performance of the equity and bond markets. The expected long-term
return on plan assets used for the 2002 U.S. pension credit was 8.75%. The
actual return on plan assets achieved for 2002 was a negative 2.6%. In
accordance with GAAP, this shortfall will be amortized against earnings as
described below. However, the negative asset experience for 2002 did not require
AHI to make a cash contribution and the U.S. funded plan remains overfunded as
of December 31, 2002. Additionally, AHI does not expect to be required to make
cash contributions to the qualified funded plan during 2003. AHI has assumed a
return on plan assets during 2003 of 8.00%. A one-quarter percentage point
increase or decrease in this assumption would increase or decrease the 2003 U.S.
pension credit by approximately $4.5 million. Contributions to the unfunded plan
are made on a monthly basis to fund benefit payments. See Note 18 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

The estimated health care cost trend rate represents a long-term view
(approximately 5-10 years) of the expected inflation in AHI's postretirement
health care costs. For the U.S. plan, AHI separately estimates expected health
care cost increases for pre-65 retirees and post-65 retirees due to the
influence of Medicare coverage at age 65. For 2002, AHI estimated an increase of
11% for pre-65 retirees and 13% for post-65 retirees, which combined to an
overall assumed increase of approximately 12%. This overall percentage is
estimated to decrease 1% per year until an ultimate rate of 6% is reached in
2008. At the end of 2001, AHI had assumed an overall increase of 6%. The
appropriateness of this assumption is determined by considering among other
things, the overall health care cost environment, AHI's retiree population,
information provided by our outside actuary and AHI's actual health care plans.
Increasing the 2002 overall health care cost trend rate from 6% to 12% and the
reduction in the discount rate from 7.5% to 7% caused an increase in AHI's
postretirement benefit cost in 2002 versus 2001. A one percentage point increase
in the assumed health care cost trend rate would reduce 2003 operating income by
$4.0 million, while a one percentage point decrease in the assumed health care
cost trend rate would increase 2003 operating income by $3.3 million. See Note
18 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

AHI recorded a U.S. pension credit of $39.2 million, $56.8 million and $63.9
million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. AHI recorded U.S. postretirement
benefit costs of $42.7 million, $25.8 million and $21.1 million in 2002, 2001
and 2000, respectively.

Actual results that differ from these estimates are captured as actuarial
gains/losses and are amortized into future earnings over the expected remaining
service period of plan participants in accordance with GAAP. Changes in
assumptions could have significant effects on earnings to be recognized in
future years.

Impairments of Tangible and Intangible Assets - AHI periodically reviews
significant tangible and intangible assets, including goodwill, for impairment
under the guidelines of the FASB Statement Nos. 142 - "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" and 144 - "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets." In accordance with these Statements, AHI reviews its
businesses for indicators of impairment such as operating losses and/or negative
cash flows. If an indication of impairment exists, AHI will estimate future
undiscounted cash flows for comparison to the carrying value of the asset. If
the cumulative estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying
value of the asset, AHI records an impairment loss equal to the difference
between the fair value and carrying value of the asset. These

                                       37

<PAGE>

cash flow estimates are based on management's best estimates and rely on
information available at the time of the analysis. Actual cash flows that are
lower than originally estimated could lead to significant future impairments.

In the second quarter of 2002, AHI completed an assessment of goodwill and
intangible assets and recorded a non-cash transitional impairment charge of
$596.0 million ($593.8 million, net of tax) as of January 1, 2002. See Note 12
of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. In the fourth
quarter of 2002, AHI completed its annual assessment of goodwill as required by
FAS 142 and determined there was no additional impairment.

During 2002, AHI recorded fixed asset impairment charges of $4.8 million in cost
of sales throughout its business segments. These impairments related primarily
to idle property, plant and equipment.

During 2001, AHI recorded an impairment charge of $8.4 million in cost of sales
within the Textiles and Sports Flooring. The impairment was related to property,
plant and equipment that produce certain products for which AHI anticipated
lower demand.

Sales-related Accruals - AHI provides direct customer and end-user warranties
for its products. These warranties cover manufacturing defects that would
prevent the product from performing in line with its intended and marketed use.
Generally, the terms of these warranties range up to 25 years and provide for
the repair or replacement of the defective product. AHI collects and analyzes
warranty claims data with a focus on the historical amount of claims, the
products involved, the amount of time between the warranty claims and their
respective sales and the amount of current sales.

AHI also maintains numerous customer relationships that incorporate sales
incentive programs, primarily volume rebates and promotions. The rebates vary by
customer and usually include tiered incentives based on the level of customer's
purchases. Certain promotional allowances are also tied to customer purchase
volumes. AHI estimates the amount of expected annual sales during the course of
the year and uses the projected sales amount to estimate the cost of the
incentive programs.

The amount of actual experience related to these accruals could differ
significantly from the estimated amounts. If this occurs, AHI adjusts its
accruals accordingly. AHI maintained sales-related accruals of $69.4 million and
$63.0 million as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. AHI records the
costs of these accruals as a reduction of gross sales.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Unless otherwise indicated, net sales in these Results of Operations are
reported based upon the location where the product was produced.

2002 COMPARED WITH 2001
Consolidated Results
The following discussions of consolidated results are on a continuing operations
basis.

Net sales in 2002 of $3.17 billion were 1.1% higher when compared with net sales
of $3.14 billion in 2001. Resilient Flooring net sales decreased 1.0%. Wood
Flooring net sales increased by 9.8%. Textiles and Sports Flooring decreased
6.0%. Building Products net sales decreased by 0.5%. Cabinets increased by 0.7%.
Net sales increased in the Americas by 1.9% and in the Pacific Area by $0.1
million. Net sales decreased in Europe by 0.5%. Excluding the effects of
favorable foreign exchange rates of $35.4 million, consolidated net sales
decreased by 0.1%, with Europe net sales decreasing by 5.0% and Pacific Area net
sales decreasing by $1.3 million. (See Industry Segment Results for further
discussion.)

Cost of goods sold in 2002 was 75.8% of net sales, compared to cost of goods
sold of 75.3% of net sales in 2001. The percentage point increase was primarily
due to higher manufacturing and medical costs and a $9.6 million decreased U.S.
pension credit, partially offset by lower raw material and energy costs.
Also, costs of goods sold in 2002 included $16.5 million of fixed asset
impairment charges and inventory

                                       38

<PAGE>

adjustments throughout the business segments and in 2001 included $10.5 million
of fixed asset impairments and inventory write-downs within the Textiles and
Sports Flooring segment.

SG&A expenses in 2002 were $624.9 million, or 19.7% of net sales compared to
$596.6 million, or 19.0% of net sales in 2001. The increase was primarily due to
a $8.0 million decreased U.S. pension credit, $6.4 million of non-restructuring
severance costs, higher medical costs, $2.9 million of additional research and
development expense and increased management incentive compensation costs,
partially offset by decreased advertising expense.

During 2002, Armstrong recorded a non-cash asbestos charge of $2.5 billion to
increase its estimate of probable asbestos-related liability. During 2001,
Armstrong recorded non-cash charges of $22.0 million related to a revision of
management's estimate of probable asbestos-related insurance asset recoveries.
See Note 32 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Armstrong recorded net restructuring costs of $1.9 million in 2002, which
included $2.7 million for severance benefits for approximately 120 employees and
a $0.8 million reversal of previous restructuring charges for certain severance
accruals that were no longer necessary. These restructuring efforts are expected
to result in lower annual costs of $5.5 million. In 2001, Armstrong recorded net
restructuring costs of $9.0 million, which included $11.8 million for severance
payments and pension benefits for approximately 75 employees, including the
former Chief Operating Officer of AHI, and a $1.7 million reversal of previous
restructuring charges for certain severance accruals that were no longer
necessary as certain individuals remained employed by Armstrong. Armstrong also
reversed $1.1 million related to a formerly occupied building for which AHI no
longer believed it will incur any additional costs.

In accordance with FAS 142, which was effective January 1, 2002, goodwill is no
longer amortized. As such, 2002 includes no goodwill amortization, which
compares to $22.8 million of goodwill amortization in 2001.

An operating loss in 2002 was $2,337.3 million compared to operating income of
$140.1 million in 2001. (See Industry Segment Results for further discussion.)
Operating income prior to the charge for asbestos reserves for 2002 was $162.7
million. Operating income prior to goodwill amortization and the
asbestos-related insurance asset recovery charge for 2001 was $184.9 million.

Interest expense of $13.8 million in 2002 was higher than interest expense of
$13.1 million in 2001, due to higher average outstanding borrowings among
non-Chapter 11 subsidiaries. In accordance with SOP 90-7, Armstrong did not
record contractual interest expense on prepetition debt after the Chapter 11
filing date. This unrecorded interest expense was $99.2 million in 2002 and
$99.7 million in 2001.

Other non-operating expense of $8.2 million in 2002 was lower than other
non-operating expense of $11.8 million in 2001. The reduction was due to $3.5
million of less foreign currency transaction losses in 2002, a loss of $3.2
million in 2001 resulting from the impairment of certain equity investments, and
a $2.0 million impairment charge in 2001 of a note receivable related to a
previous divestiture, offset by a $5.3 million charge in 2002 for environmental
expense related to a divested business.

Other non-operating income of $6.0 million in 2002 was lower than other
non-operating income of $13.0 million in 2001. The reduction was due to a gain
recorded in 2001 of $3.5 million resulting from the demutualization of an
insurance company (Prudential Insurance Co.), with whom Armstrong has
company-owned life insurance policies, and $3.6 million lower foreign currency
transaction gains in 2002 versus 2001.

Armstrong recorded $23.5 million of Chapter 11 reorganization costs, net in 2002
compared to $12.5 million in 2001. See Item 1 for details of the Chapter 11
reorganization costs, net.

The 2002 effective tax rate benefit from continuing operations was 34.8%
compared with an effective tax rate of 36.7% for 2001. Excluding the impact of
the asbestos-related charges in 2002, bankruptcy expenses and goodwill
amortization, the effective tax rate was 31.2% for 2002 versus 25.9% for 2001.

                                       39

<PAGE>

This resulted mainly from increases in valuation allowances against foreign net
operating loss carryforwards and other book differences, offset by the impact of
tax audit settlements.

Germany recently announced its intent to implement tax reform proposals which
could, among other things, significantly reduce the ability of companies to
utilize tax losses against taxable profits. If enacted, these proposals may
result in a reduction to Armstrong's deferred tax asset with respect to German
tax loss carryforwards. Such proposals are not expected to be considered by the
German government for approval until early 2003.

The 2002 cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $593.8 million
(net of $2.2 million tax) was due to a non-cash transitional impairment charge
in accordance with FAS 142 as discussed in Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

A net loss of $2,142.8 million was recorded for 2002, compared to net earnings
$92.8 million in 2001.

Outlook
AHI expects 2003 to be another challenging year. As described in the Narrative
Description of Business section of Item 1, AHI competes in different markets on
a worldwide basis. Approximately three-fourths of AHI's sales occur in the U.S.
In the U.S., AHI expects residential housing activity to remain strong, but at
lower levels than experienced in 2002. The U.S. commercial markets have been
depressed and are expected to remain so through the year. AHI anticipates that
European markets will generally remain weak, with moderate economic recovery in
selected regions.

In conjunction with the market pressures on revenue, AHI is experiencing
significant pricing pressure on some major raw materials, most notably lumber,
natural gas (used principally in the production of ceilings) and oil-based
materials (used principally in the production of resilient and textile flooring
products). While a significant portion of our natural gas needs are hedged, the
recent price spikes will negatively affect manufacturing costs at least in the
short term. AHI will experience labor cost increases from general inflation as
well as union contracts negotiated during 2002, which were generally in line
with inflation. However, the outcome of 2003 contract negotiations are not
predictable as described in the Employees section of Item 1.

Additionally, AHI anticipates 2003 results will be negatively affected by a
projected $27 million decreased U.S. pension credit, a substantial increase in
Chapter 11 reorganization costs and an increased effective tax rate, due to the
expected absence of tax audit settlement benefits that were experienced in 2002
and the effect of the increased Chapter 11 reorganization costs. AHI plans to
respond to these pressures on revenue and profitability by improving customer
service, introducing new products, selectively increasing price, and focusing on
productivity and cost reduction initiatives. The degree of success and extent of
benefit from each of these initiatives will vary from numerous factors.

Industry Segment Results

Resilient Flooring
Resilient Flooring net sales were $1,152.3 million in 2002 and $1,164.2 million
in 2001, a 1.0% decrease. Americas decreased 0.2% primarily due to the effects
of amendments to its distribution agreements described below and reductions in
price, partially offset by increases in volume in the independent retailer
channel. Net sales in Europe decreased 1.6%. Excluding the effects of favorable
foreign exchange rates, Europe decreased 5.7%, primarily due to weak European
markets, particularly Germany. Excluding the effects of favorable foreign
exchange rates, the Pacific Area increased $1.3 million.

Operating income of $64.5 million in 2002 compared to $70.8 million in 2001.
This decrease was primarily due to the effects of amendments to its distribution
agreements described below and fixed asset impairment charges of $2.7 million,
partially offset by $3.1 million of lower cost from changes in certain employee
benefits. Operating income in 2001 includes $2.4 million of goodwill
amortization, $2.8 million

                                       40

<PAGE>

of income from the reversal of previously accrued potential preference claims
that have been resolved as well as $2.8 million of environmental and building
demolition expenses at one manufacturing facility.

During the fourth quarter of 2002, AHI amended its agreements with its
independent U.S. distributors related to sales of certain products to major home
center retailers. Sales are recorded under these agreements when the products
are shipped from the distributor's location to these retailers. Approximately
$19.2 million of revenue, the equivalent of approximately 1.6% of Resilient
Flooring net sales in 2002, and $7.4 million of operating income will be
recorded in subsequent periods of 2003 for products shipped to these
distributors during the fourth quarter of 2002.

Wood Flooring
Wood Flooring net sales of $719.3 million in 2002 increased from net sales of
$655.3 million in 2001. This 9.8% increase was driven primarily by increased
volume, the impact of more effective promotional campaigns, and improved product
mix in both the independent wholesaler channel and with large home center
retailers.

Operating income of $53.0 million in 2002 compared to $0.9 million in 2001.
Excluding $19.8 million of goodwill amortization expense recorded in 2001,
operating income in 2001 would have been $20.7 million. The increase in
operating income was driven by higher net sales, improved production
efficiencies, lower lumber costs, lower selling expense, and a change in
vacation policy resulting in a $1.9 million benefit, partially offset by $2.5
million of costs related to exiting a product line, and increased medical costs.
Operating income in 2001 also included $4.1 million of employee severance costs
related to restructuring efforts.

Textiles and Sports Flooring
Textiles and Sports Flooring net sales of $247.2 million decreased in 2002
compared to $262.9 million in 2001. Excluding the effects of favorable foreign
exchange rates, net sales decreased 10.2% due to the weak European market,
particularly Germany. An operating loss of $4.7 million in 2002 was incurred
compared to an operating loss of $0.7 million in 2001. The change was primarily
due to the unfavorable impact of lower net sales and a $1.5 million product
warranty claims provision. 2002 included restructuring reversals of $0.3
million, which compare to restructuring charges of $1.2 million in 2001.
Additionally, 2001 included a fixed asset impairment charge of $8.4 million and
a $2.1 million inventory write-down.

Building Products
Building Products net sales of $826.6 million in 2002 decreased from $831.0
million in 2001. Excluding the effects of favorable foreign exchange rates, net
sales decreased 2.1%, primarily due to lower volume in the U.S. commercial
market. Operating income increased $4.1 million to $96.5 million in 2002
primarily due to lower energy costs and lower selling expenses.

Cabinets
Cabinets net sales of $226.9 million in 2002 increased from net sales of $225.3
million in 2001 due primarily to increased volume. An operating loss of $3.9
million in 2002 compared to operating income of $15.2 million in 2001. This
decline resulted primarily from $10.9 million of increased manufacturing costs
for material, labor and supply chain inefficiencies, and $6.8 million in charges
for inventory write-downs.

All Other
The All Other segment contributed operating income of $2.1 million and $0.3
million for 2002 and 2001, respectively, reflecting the equity investment in
Interface Solutions, Inc.

Unallocated Corporate Expense
Unallocated corporate expense of $2,544.8 million in 2002 increased from $38.8
million in 2001 primarily due to a $2.5 billion non-cash asbestos charge, $17.6
million decreased U.S. pension credit, increased professional and advertising
expenses, and increased management incentive compensation costs.

<PAGE>

Geographic Areas
Based on the geographic location of the customer, net sales of $2.37 billion in
the Americas in 2002 were higher, compared to $2.33 billion in 2001, primarily
due to higher Wood Flooring sales. Net sales in Europe in 2002 were $694.7
million, compared to $713.1 million in 2001 as Resilient Flooring and European
Textiles and Sports Flooring declined, which was partially offset by an increase
in the Building Products segment. Net sales to the Pacific area of $104.3
million compared to $99.6 million in 2001 due an increase in the Resilient
Flooring segment partially offset by a decline in the Building Products segment.

Long-lived assets in the Americas in 2002 were $945.0 million compared to $962.3
million in 2001. Long-lived assets in Europe in 2002 were $329.6 million
compared to $286.3 million in 2001. The increase was primarily due to the
favorable effect of foreign exchange rates. Long-lived assets in the Pacific
Area in 2002 were $29.1 million compared to $30.0 million in 2001.

2001 COMPARED WITH 2000
Consolidated Results
The following discussions of consolidated results are on a continuing operations
basis.

Net sales in 2001 of $3.14 billion were 3.4% lower when compared with net sales
of $3.25 billion in 2000. Resilient Flooring net sales decreased 5.9%. Wood
Flooring net sales decreased by 4.1%. Textiles and Sports Flooring decreased
5.1%. Building Products net sales decreased by 0.3%. Cabinets increased by 3.3%.
Net sales decreased 3.3%, 1.2% and 18.0% in the Americas, Europe, and the
Pacific area, respectively. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange, Europe net
sales increased 3.1%. (See Industry Segment Results for further discussion.)

Cost of goods sold in 2001 was 75.3% of net sales, compared to cost of goods
sold of 73.4% in 2000. In 2001, the Textiles and Sports Flooring segment
recorded an $8.4 million impairment charge on certain assets to cost of goods
sold and a $2.1 million charge for write-downs related to certain products that
will no longer be sold. Excluding these charges, cost of goods sold was 75.0% in
2001. In 2000, excluding a $17.6 million charge to cost of goods sold for
write-downs of production-line assets related to the reorganization efforts that
were not categorized as restructuring costs, the cost of goods sold was 72.9%.
These write-downs of production-line assets primarily related to changes in
production facilities and product offerings. While the amount of cost of goods
sold in 2001 was lower than 2000, it did not decrease enough to maintain the
same percentage of net sales as in 2000. Increases in the price of raw
materials, such as natural gas and wood, offset the general savings experienced
in cost of goods sold due to the lower sales.

SG&A expenses in 2001 were $596.6 million, or 19.0% of net sales compared to
$595.3 million, or 18.3% of net sales in 2000. While 2001 net sales decreased
from 2000 amounts, a significant amount of sales and promotional expense,
including branding and market development, was incurred in 2001, primarily in
the Resilient and Wood Flooring segments. Additionally, 2001 contained higher
employee incentive bonus accruals than 2000. These items resulted in an increase
in SG&A as a percentage of net sales. SG&A expenses in 2000 contained $18.3
million for CEO and management transition costs, expenses related to the
reorganization of European flooring business, asset write-downs related to the
decision to vacate office space in Lancaster, PA and write-downs related to
product samples.

During 2001, Armstrong recorded non-cash charges of $22.0 million related to a
revision of management's assessment of probable asbestos-related insurance asset
recoveries. 2000 included a $236.0 million non-cash charge to increase the
asbestos-related liability.

Armstrong also recorded net restructuring costs of $9.0 million in 2001, which
included $11.8 million for severance payments and pension benefits for
approximately 75 employees, including the former Chief Operating Officer of AHI,
and a $1.7 million reversal of previous restructuring charges for certain
severance accruals that were no longer necessary as certain individuals remained
employed by Armstrong. These reorganizations are expected to result in lower
manufacturing costs of approximately $0.3 million per year and lower SG&A
expenses of approximately $7.1 million per year. AHI expects to

                                       42

<PAGE>

record an additional charge of approximately $0.6 million in the first quarter
of 2002 related to a further streamlining of the textiles and sports flooring
business. Armstrong also reversed $1.1 million related to a formerly occupied
building for which AHI no longer believes it will incur any additional costs.
This compares to net restructuring and reorganization charges in 2000 of $18.8
million, which included $12.0 million for severance payments and pension
benefits for approximately 200 employees and a $1.4 million reversal, comprising
severance accruals that were no longer necessary as certain individuals remained
employed by Armstrong. In 2000, Armstrong also recorded a $8.2 million charge
primarily related to the remaining payments on a noncancelable-operating lease
for an office facility in the U.S.

Goodwill amortization was comparable at $22.8 million in 2001 and $23.9 million
in 2000.

Operating income in 2001 was $140.1 million compared to $6.7 million in 2000.
(See Industry Segment Results for further discussion.)

Interest expense of $13.1 million in 2001 was lower than interest expense of
$102.9 million in 2000. In accordance with SOP 90-7, Armstrong did not record
contractual interest expense on prepetition debt after the Chapter 11 filing
date. This unrecorded interest expense was $99.7 million in 2001 and $7.0
million in 2000.

Other non-operating expense of $11.8 million in 2001 was higher than other
non-operating expense of $3.7 million in 2000. The increase was due to higher
foreign currency transaction losses, a loss of $3.2 million in 2001 resulting
from the impairment of certain equity investments, and a $2.0 million impairment
charge in 2001 of a note receivable related to a previous divestiture.

Other non-operating income of $13.0 million was lower than other non-operating
income of $80.4 million in 2000. The reduction was primarily due to a $60.2
million gain from the sale of IPG, which was part of the Resilient Flooring
segment, a smaller gain on the demutualizations of insurance companies with whom
Armstrong has company-owned life insurance policies and lower foreign currency
transaction gains.

Armstrong recorded $12.5 million of Chapter 11 reorganization costs, net in 2001
compared to $103.3 million in 2000. See "Proceeding with Chapter 11" for further
discussion.

Effective November 1, 2000, an amendment to the Retirement Income Plan (RIP), a
qualified U.S. defined benefit plan, established an additional benefit known as
the ESOP Pension Account to partially compensate active employee and retiree
ESOP participants for the decline in the market value of AHI's stock. The effect
of this amendment had no material impact to the financial position or results of
operations in 2000, but increased the benefit obligation by $92.2 million and
decreased the pension credit by $11.7 million in 2001. The RIP document was
revised to reflect these changes.

The 2001 effective tax rate from continuing operations was 36.7% versus a tax
benefit rate of 30.7% for 2000. Excluding the impact of the asbestos charge, the
gain on sale of IPG, the restructuring charges and other related expenses and
the Chapter 11 reorganization costs, net in 2000, the 2000 effective tax rate
was 39.6%. The decrease from 39.6% to 36.7%, was due to improved foreign tax
credit utilization and lower foreign taxes partially offset by the negative
impact of lower earnings on permanent differences between book and tax. In
addition, the 2001 tax provision reflects the reversal of certain state tax and
other accruals no longer required due to completion of state tax audit and/or
the expiration of statutes of limitation partially offset by certain
non-deductible expenses.

Armstrong reported net earnings of $92.8 million, or $2.27 per diluted share in
2001, compared to net earnings of $12.2 million, or $0.30 per share in 2000.

Industry Segment Results

Resilient Flooring
Resilient Flooring net sales were $1,164.2 million and $1,237.3 million in 2001
and 2000, respectively. Net sales in the Americas decreased 5.0% from the prior
year as a result of lower sales of commercial tile (volume and pricing pressure)
and residential sheet products (product mix) and the impact of the third quarter
2000 IPG divestiture. Excluding the impact of the IPG divestiture, sales in the
Americas decreased 2.6%. Excluding the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange
rates, net sales in Europe were 3.7% below last year primarily due to weaker
sales of cushion vinyl products. Pacific area net sales decreased $4.9 million
versus 2000.

Operating income of $70.8 million in 2001 compared to $80.4 million in 2000.
Operating income in 2001 includes $2.8 million of income from the reversal of
previously accrued potential preference claims that have been resolved as well
as $2.8 million of environmental and building demolition expenses at one
manufacturing facility. Excluding expenses associated with reorganizing the
European business and other management changes, operating income was $108.9
million in 2000. The operating income reduction was driven primarily by lower
sales and higher selling and promotional expenses, including brand and market
development expenses and the impact of the IPG divestiture, partially offset by
lower production costs.

Wood Flooring
Wood Flooring net sales of $655.3 million in 2001 decreased from net sales of
$683.3 million in 2000. This 4.1% decrease was driven primarily by lower sales
volume and pricing within the independent wholesaler channel. Operating income
of $0.9 million in 2001 compared to operating income of $57.8 million in 2000.
The decrease was primarily driven by competitive pricing pressure, lower sales,
higher lumber costs, product quality issues, and higher selling and promotional
expenses.

Textiles and Sports Flooring
Textiles and Sports Flooring net sales of $262.9 million in 2001 compared to
$277.0 million in 2000. Excluding the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange
rates, net sales decreased 2.2% primarily due to a weak European market. An
operating loss of $0.7 million in 2001 was incurred compared to operating income
of $5.2 million in 2000. The 2001 operating loss was due to an $8.4 million
fixed asset impairment charge and a $2.1 million inventory write-down. Excluding
these charges, 2001 operating income would have been $9.8 million. Operating
income in 2000 included approximately $3.0 million for employee severance
accruals.

Building Products
Building Products net sales of $831.0 million in 2001 decreased slightly from
$833.1 million in 2000 as the full year impact of the Gema acquisition helped to
offset the slow down experienced in the commercial construction markets.
Excluding the net sales of Gema, net sales decreased 2.8%. Net sales in the
Americas decreased 2.4% versus 2000 due to unit volume in the U.S. commercial
business partially offset by improvements in the price/product mix as well as
sales from new product lines. Excluding the impact of unfavorable foreign
exchange rates and incremental net sales from Gema, net sales in Europe remained
flat compared to 2000. Pacific area net sales decreased $4.1 million versus
2000. Operating income decreased $21.5 million to $92.4 million in 2001
primarily due to higher energy costs and lower unit volume.

Cabinets
Cabinets net sales of $225.3 million in 2001 increased from net sales of $218.2
million in 2000 due to a favorable product mix and volume growth. Operating
income of $15.2 million in 2001 compared to operating income of $16.5 million in
2000. Excluding restructuring charges of $1.1 million in 2001, operating income
was $16.3 million, which is comparable to 2000. The 2001 net sales increase was
offset by higher selling expenses and additional allocations of general and
administrative expenses shared with the Wood Flooring segment.

                                       44

<PAGE>

All Other
The All Other segment contributed operating income of $0.3 million and $0.1
million for 2001 and 2000, respectively, reflecting the equity investment in
Interface Solutions, Inc.

Unallocated Corporate
Excluding charges for asbestos liability, net, unallocated corporate expense of
$16.8 million in 2001 compared to $31.2 million of expense in 2000. The 2001
expense includes a U.S. pension credit of $56.8 million compared to a 2000
credit of $63.9 million. The 2000 expense also includes $19.7 million in
expenses related to the CEO transition and other management changes and the
decision to vacate an office facility in the U.S.

Geographic Areas
Based on the geographic location of the customer, net sales of $2.33 billion in
the Americas in 2001 were lower, compared to $2.41 billion in 2000, primarily
due to lower Resilient Flooring sales. Net sales in Europe in 2001 were $713.1
million, compared to $721.7 million in 2000, as the full year impact of the Gema
acquisition partially offset declines in the Resilient Flooring and Building
Products segments. Net sales to the Pacific area of $99.6 million compared to
$121.4 million in 2000 due to volume declines in the Resilient Flooring and
Building Products segments.

Long-lived assets in the Americas in 2001 were $962.3 million compared to $974.6
million in 2000. Long-lived assets in Europe in 2001 were $286.3 million
compared to $314.4 million in 2000. The decrease was primarily due to an $8.4
million fixed asset impairment charge in the Textiles and Sports Flooring
segment and the divestiture of certain physical assets. Long-lived assets in the
Pacific area in 2001 were $30.0 million compared to $32.0 million in 2000.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

2002 COMPARED TO 2001
As shown on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Armstrong had cash and cash
equivalents of $380.0 million at December 31, 2002, compared with $277.4 million
at the end of 2001. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.11
to 1 as of December 31, 2002, compared with 2.99 to 1 as of December 31, 2001.

Long-term debt, excluding debt subject to compromise, was $39.9 million at
December 31, 2002, compared with $50.3 million at the end of 2001. All other
outstanding prepetition long-term debt is owed by entities that filed for
Chapter 11 protection, and therefore has been classified as liabilities subject
to compromise at December 31, 2002 and 2001.

As shown on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, net cash provided by
operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2002, was $223.5 million
compared with $272.1 million in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to an
increase in income taxes paid and lower asbestos insurance asset recoveries.

Net cash used for investing activities was $104.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2002, compared with $113.9 million in 2001. The decrease was
primarily due to $5.6 million spent in 2001 to purchase some of the remaining
minority equity interest of majority owned entities consolidated within the
Resilient Flooring segment.

Net cash used for financing activities was $23.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2002, compared with $37.9 million in 2001. The decrease was
primarily due to lower payments of long-term debt.

AHI's liquidity needs for operations vary throughout the year. Therefore, AHI
retains lines of credit to draw upon as needed to meet these needs.
Additionally, AHI has letter of credit issuance capabilities under the DIP
Facility (described below). AHI believes that cash on hand and generated from
operations, together with lines of credit and the DIP Facility, will be adequate
to address its foreseeable liquidity needs.

                                       45

<PAGE>

DIP Facility
On November 1, 2002, the Court announced it had approved AWI's motion to reduce
the amount of its DIP Facility from $200 million to $75 million, eliminate the
revolving credit borrowing feature, retain the letter of credit issuance
facility and extend the maturity date to December 8, 2003. Obligations to
reimburse drawings upon the letters of credit constitute a superpriority
administrative expense claim in the Chapter 11 Case. There were no outstanding
borrowings under the DIP Facility as of December 31, 2002 or 2001. As of
December 31, 2002 and 2001, AWI had approximately $28.7 million and $8.4
million, respectively, in letters of credit which were issued pursuant to the
DIP Facility. The DIP Facility also contains several covenants including, among
other things, limits on asset sales, capital expenditures and a required ratio
of debt to cash flow.

Asbestos-related litigation
AWI is a defendant in personal injury cases and property damage cases related to
asbestos containing products. On December 6, 2000, AWI filed a voluntary
petition for relief ("the Filing") under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
to use the court supervised reorganization process to achieve a final resolution
of its asbestos liability.

Asbestos-Related Personal Injury Claims
Prior to filing for relief under the Bankruptcy Code, AWI was a member of the
Center for Claims Resolution (the "Center") which handled the defense and
settlement of asbestos-related personal injury claims on behalf of its members.
The Center pursued broad-based settlements of asbestos-related personal injury
claims under the Strategic Settlement Program ("SSP") and had reached agreements
with law firms that covered approximately 130,000 claims that named AWI as a
defendant.

Due to the Filing, holders of asbestos-related personal injury claims are stayed
from continuing to prosecute pending litigation and from commencing new lawsuits
against AWI. In addition, AWI ceased making payments to the Center with respect
to asbestos-related personal injury claims, including payments pursuant to the
outstanding SSP agreements. AWI's obligations with respect to payments called
for under these settlements will be determined in its Chapter 11 Case.

A creditors' committee representing the interests of asbestos personal injury
claimants and an individual has been appointed to represent the interests of
future personal injury claimants in the Chapter 11 Case. AWI's present and
future asbestos liability will be addressed in its Chapter 11 Case rather than
through the Center and a multitude of lawsuits in different jurisdictions
throughout the U.S. It is anticipated that all of AWI's current and future
asbestos-related personal injury claims will be resolved in the Chapter 11 Case.

Asbestos-Related Personal Injury Liability
In evaluating its potential asbestos-related personal injury liability prior to
the Filing, AWI reviewed information provided by the Center including, among
other things, recent and historical settlement amounts, the incidence of past
and recent claims, the mix of the injuries of the plaintiffs, the number of
cases pending against it and the status and results of broad-based settlement
discussions. Based on this review, AWI developed an estimated range for its cost
to defend and resolve asbestos-related personal injury claims for six years,
through 2006. This estimated range was large due to the limitations of the
available data and the difficulty of forecasting with any certainty the numerous
variables that could have affected AWI's actual liability for this period. AWI
concluded that no amount within the range was more likely than any other, and
therefore reflected the low end of the range as the liability in the
consolidated financial statements, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.

It is expected that the Chapter 11 process will deal with all current and future
asbestos-related personal injury claims against AWI. There are significant
differences between the way the asbestos-related personal injury claims may be
addressed under the bankruptcy process and the historical way AWI's claims were
resolved. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion on how the Chapter 11 process may address AWI's asbestos-related
personal injury claims.

                                       46

<PAGE>

As of September 30, 2000, AWI had recorded a liability of $758.8 million for its
asbestos-related personal injury liability that it determined was probable and
estimable through 2006. Due to the increased uncertainty created as a result of
the Filing, the only change made to the previously recorded liability through
the third quarter of 2002 was to record October and November 2000 payments of
$68.2 million against the accrual. The asbestos-related personal injury
liability balance recorded at December 31, 2001 was $690.6 million, which was
recorded in liabilities subject to compromise.

As discussed previously, AWI filed an initial POR and disclosure statement with
respect to the POR during the fourth quarter of 2002. In March 2003, AWI filed
an amended POR and disclosure statement. The POR represents the product of
negotiations with and is supported by the Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants'
Committee, the Unsecured Creditors' Committee and the Future Claimants'
Representative. Based upon the foregoing, the discussions AWI has had with
representatives of such entities within the last several months and the hearings
held before the Court in the last several months, management now believes that
it is reasonably likely that the claims addressed in the POR will be satisfied
substantially in the manner set forth in the POR. As a result, AWI has concluded
that it can reasonably estimate its probable liability for asbestos-related
current and future personal injury claims. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of
2002, AWI recorded a $2.5 billion charge to increase the liability. The
asbestos-related liability of approximately $3.2 billion at December 31, 2002,
which was treated as subject to compromise, represents the estimated amount of
liability that is implied based upon the negotiated resolution reflected in the
POR, the total consideration expected to be paid to the Asbestos PI Trust
pursuant to the POR and a recovery value percentage for the allowed claims of
the Asbestos PI Trust that is equal to the estimated recovery value percentage
for the allowed non-asbestos unsecured claims. Pursuant to the POR, all current
and future asbestos-related personal injury claims will be channeled to the
Asbestos PI Trust for resolution and, upon emergence from Chapter 11,
reorganized AWI will not have any responsibility for the claims or participate
in their resolution.

AWI is unable to predict when and if this POR will be confirmed. Therefore, the
timing and terms of resolution of the Chapter 11 Case remain uncertain. As long
as this uncertainty exists, future changes to the recorded liability are
possible and could be material to AWI's financial position and the results of
its operations. Management will continue to review the recorded liability in
light of future developments in the Chapter 11 Case and make changes to the
recorded liability if and when it is appropriate.

The $2.5 billion, fourth quarter 2002, charge to increase the asbestos-related
personal injury liability is before recognition of gains from the settlement of
liabilities subject to compromise, which will arise at a later date as a
consequence of the Chapter 11 process.

Collateral Requirements
During 2000, AWI had secured a bond for $56.2 million to meet minimum collateral
requirements established by the Center with respect to asbestos-related personal
injury claims asserted against AWI. On October 27, 2000, the insurance company
that underwrote the surety bond informed AWI and the Center of its intention not
to renew the surety bond effective February 28, 2001. On February 6, 2001, the
Center advised the surety of the Center's demand for payment of the face value
of the bond. The surety filed a motion with the Court seeking to restrain the
Center from drawing on the bond. The motion was not granted. On March 28, 2001,
the surety filed an amended complaint in the Court seeking similar relief. The
Center has filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Court has not
yet ruled on the Center's motion or the complaint. In addition, on April 27,
2001, AWI filed a complaint and a motion with the Court seeking an order, among
other things, enjoining the Center from drawing on the bond or, in the event the
Center is permitted to draw on the bond, requiring that the proceeds of any such
draw be deposited into a Court-approved account subject to further order of the
Court. Judge Alfred M. Wolin of the Federal District Court for the District of
New Jersey, who is also presiding over AWI's Chapter 11 Case, indicated he would
determine these matters. Judge Wolin has not yet ruled on these matters.

                                       47

Asbestos-Related property Damage Litigation
Over the years, AWI was one of many defendants in asbestos-related property
damage claims that were filed by public and private building owners, with six
claims pending as of June 30, 2001. The claims that were resolved prior to the
Filing resulted in aggregate indemnity obligations of less than $10 million. To
date, all payments of these obligations have been entirely covered by insurance.
The pending cases present allegations of damage to the plaintiffs' buildings
caused by asbestos-containing products and generally seek compensatory and
punitive damages and equitable relief, including reimbursement of expenditures
for removal and replacement of such products. In the second quarter of 2000, AWI
was served with a lawsuit seeking class certification of Texas residents who own
property with asbestos-containing products. This case includes allegations that
AWI asbestos-containing products caused damage to buildings and generally seeks
compensatory damages and equitable relief, including testing, reimbursement for
removal and diminution of property value. AWI vigorously denies the validity of
the allegations against it in these actions and, in any event, believes that any
costs will be covered by insurance.

Continued prosecution of these actions and the commencement of any new asbestos
property damage actions are stayed due to the Filing. In March 2002, the Court
allowed certain alleged holders of asbestos property damage claims to file a
class proof of claim against AWI. In July 2002, the Court denied the
certification of the proposed class and held that the plaintiffs' proof of claim
shall only be effective as to the named claimants. The plaintiffs' motion for
leave to appeal to the U.S. District Court was denied by Judge Wolin on October
3, 2002. As part of determining whether AWI asbestos containing resilient floor
covering products give rise to property damage liability, the Court conducted an
initial hearing on September 26 - 27, 2002 to decide the type of scientific
testing allowable under the Federal Rules of Evidence to prove or disprove
whether such products cause building contamination. On October 22, 2002, the
Court granted AWI's requested relief and ruled that the methodology offered by
the Asbestos Property Damage Committee in support of its claims is not a
scientifically valid method of quantifying the level of asbestos contamination
in a building. On November 1, 2002, the Court directed that all property damage
claimants provide, in support of their claims, substantiation that Armstrong
flooring products were used in the claimants' buildings. The Court's deadline
for submission of such product identification documentation was February 10,
2003. Prior to the Court's deadline, AWI reached an agreement in principle to
settle approximately 360 property damage claims, which alleged damages of $0.2
billion, for $2 million. Any amounts to be paid are expected to be funded by
insurance. This settlement is subject to the Court's approval, which is
scheduled to be heard by the Court on April 4, 2003. Additionally, 130 property
damage claims have been disallowed or withdrawn. Approximately 100 property
damage claims totaling $0.6 billion will remain unresolved if the settlement is
approved. Only 26 of these 100 remaining property damage claims submitted
product identification by the February 10, 2003 deadline referred to above.

Consistent with prior periods and due to increased uncertainty, AWI has not
recorded any liability related to asbestos-related property damage claims as of
December 31, 2002. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for
further discussion of property damage claims in the Chapter 11 Case. A separate
creditors' committee representing the interests of property damage asbestos
claimants has been appointed in the Chapter 11 Case.

Insurance Recovery Proceedings
A substantial portion of AWI's primary and excess remaining insurance asset is
nonproducts (general liability) insurance for personal injury claims, including
among others, those that involve alleged exposure during AWI's installation of
asbestos insulation materials. AWI has entered into settlements with a number of
the carriers resolving its coverage issues. However, an alternative dispute
resolution ("ADR") procedure was commenced against certain carriers to determine
the percentage of resolved and unresolved claims that are nonproducts claims, to
establish the entitlement to such coverage and to determine whether and how much
reinstatement of prematurely exhausted products hazard insurance is warranted.
The nonproducts coverage potentially available is substantial and includes
defense costs in addition to limits.

                                       48

<PAGE>

During 1999, AWI received preliminary decisions in the initial phases of the
trial proceeding of the ADR, which were generally favorable to AWI on a number
of issues related to insurance coverage. However, during the first quarter of
2001, a new trial judge was selected for the ADR. The new trial judge conducted
hearings in 2001 and determined not to rehear matters decided by the previous
judge. In the first quarter of 2002, the new trial judge concluded the ADR trial
proceeding with findings in favor of AWI on substantially all key issues.
Liberty Mutual, the only insurer that is still a party to the ADR, has appealed
that final judgment. Appellate argument originally scheduled for October 2002
was adjourned and was held on March 11, 2003. In July 2002, AWI filed a lawsuit
against Liberty Mutual in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment with respect to
certain policy issues not subject to binding ADR.

One of the insurance carriers, Reliance Insurance Company, was placed under an
order of liquidation by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department during October
2001 due to financial difficulties. The order of liquidation prohibits Reliance
from making any claim payments under the insurance policies until the
liquidation occurs. AWI intends to file a proof of claim against Reliance by the
December 2003 deadline. It is uncertain when AWI will receive proceeds from
Reliance under these insurance policies.

Another insurer, Century Indemnity Company, who previously settled its coverage
issues with AWI, has made some of its required payments under the settlement to
a trust of which AWI is a beneficiary. During January 2002, this insurer filed
an adversary action in AWI's Chapter 11 Case. Among other things, the action
requests the Court to (1) declare that the settlement agreement is an executory
contract and to compel assumption or rejection of the agreement; (2) declare
that the insurer need not make its present and future scheduled payments unless
AWI assumes the agreement; (3) declare that the insurer is entitled to
indemnification from AWI against any liabilities that the insurer may incur in
certain unrelated litigation in which the insurer is involved; and (4) enjoin
the disposition of funds previously paid by the insurer to the trust pending an
adjudication of the insurer's rights. These issues are before the Court for
determination and AWI believes it is highly unlikely the insurer will prevail in
this matter.

On March 5, 2003, the New Hampshire Insurance Department placed The Home
Insurance Company ("Home") under an order of rehabilitation. Less than $10
million of AWI's recorded insurance asset is based on policies with Home, which
management believes is still probable of recovery.

Insurance Asset
An insurance asset in respect of asbestos personal injury claims in the amount
of $198.1 million is recorded as of December 31, 2002 compared to $214.1 million
as of December 31, 2001. Of the total recorded asset at December 31, 2002,
approximately $35.7 million represents partial settlement for previous claims
that will be paid in a fixed and determinable flow and is reported at its net
present value discounted at 6.50%. The total amount recorded reflects AWI's
belief in the availability of insurance in this amount, based upon AWI's success
in insurance recoveries, settlement agreements that provide such coverage, the
nonproducts recoveries by other companies and the opinion of outside counsel.
Such insurance is either available through settlement or probable of recovery
through negotiation, litigation or resolution of the ADR process. Depending on
further progress of the ADR, activities such as settlement discussions with
insurance carriers party to the ADR and those not party to the ADR, the final
determination of coverage shared with ACandS (the former AWI insulation
contracting subsidiary that was sold in August 1969 and which filed for relief
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in September 2002) and the financial
condition of the insurers, AWI may revise its estimate of probable insurance
recoveries. Approximately $80 million of the $198.1 million asset is determined
from agreed coverage in place and is therefore directly related to the amount of
the liability. Of the $198.1 million asset, $24.0 million has been recorded as a
current asset as of December 31, 2002 reflecting management's estimate of the
minimum insurance payments to be received in the next 12 months. As of February
2003, approximately $8.0 million of the $24.0 million current asset is past due
based on a previous settlement agreement. AWI believes collection of the full
amount is still probable and therefore has not established a reserve against
these receivables.

A significant part of the recorded asset relates to insurance that AWI believes
is probable and will be obtained through settlements with the various carriers.
Although AWI revised its recorded asbestos

                                       49

<PAGE>

liability by $2.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2002, there was no increase
recorded in the estimated insurance recovery asset. While AWI believes that the
process of resolving disputed insurance coverage may result in higher settlement
amounts than recorded, there has been no increase in the recorded amounts due to
the uncertainties remaining in the process. Accordingly, this asset could change
significantly based upon resolution of the issues. Management estimates that the
timing of future cash payments for the recorded asset may extend beyond 10
years.

Cash Flow Impact
As a result of the Chapter 11 Filing, AWI did not make any payments for
asbestos-related claims in 2002 or 2001. AWI received $16.0 million and $32.2
million in asbestos-related insurance recoveries during 2002 and 2001,
respectively. During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case, AWI does not expect to
make any further cash payments for asbestos-related claims, but AWI expects to
continue to receive insurance proceeds under the terms of various settlement
agreements.

Conclusion
Based upon the events described above, management came to a belief that AWI's
asbestos-related liability will be settled substantially in the manner set forth
in the POR. As a result, AWI recorded a $2.5 billion charge to increase its
estimate of probable asbestos-related liability to approximately $3.2 billion at
December 31, 2002, which was treated as subject to compromise. The fourth
quarter charge was determined by calculating an implied liability based upon the
provisions of the POR and Disclosure Statement. However no change was made to
the estimated asbestos-related insurance recovery asset. Many uncertainties
continue to exist about the matters impacting AWI's asbestos-related liability
and insurance asset. These uncertainties include the impact of the Filing and
the Chapter 11 process, the number of future claims to be filed, the ultimate
value of the asbestos liability, the impact of any potential legislation, the
impact of the ADR proceedings on the insurance asset and the financial condition
of AWI's insurance carriers. Additionally, although a POR and Disclosure
Statement have been filed with the Court, implementation of the POR is subject
to confirmation of the POR in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code. AWI is unable to predict when and if the POR will be confirmed. Therefore,
the timing and terms of resolution of the Chapter 11 Case remain uncertain. As
long as this uncertainty exists, future changes to the recorded liability and
insurance asset are possible and could be material to AWI's financial position
and the results of its operations. Management will continue to review the
recorded liability and insurance asset in light of future developments in the
Chapter 11 Case and make changes to the recorded amounts if and when it is
appropriate.

2001 COMPARED TO 2000
As shown on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, net cash provided by
operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2001, was $272.1 million
compared with $27.8 million in 2000. The increase was primarily due to the
absence of asbestos-related claims payments in 2001.

Net cash used for investing activities was $113.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 2001, compared with cash provided by investing activities of $179.3
million in 2000. The decrease was primarily due to $329.9 million of proceeds
from the sales of businesses in 2000.

Net cash used for financing activities was $37.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 2001, compared with $70.9 million in 2000. The decrease was
primarily due to no dividend payments in 2001, compared with $58.1 million of
dividend payments in 2000, offset by net debt payments of $33.4 million in 2001
compared with net debt payments of $16.9 million in 2000.

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
Discontinued Operations
In February 2001, AHI determined to permanently exit the Textiles and Sports
Flooring segment and on February 20, 2001 entered into negotiations to sell
substantially all of the businesses comprising this segment to a private equity
investor based in Europe. Based on these events, the segment was classified as a
discontinued operation starting with the fourth quarter of 2000. On June 12,
2001, negotiations with this investor were terminated. During the third quarter
of 2001, AHI terminated its plans to permanently exit this segment. This
decision was based on the difficulty encountered in selling the

                                       50

<PAGE>

business and a new review of the business, industry and overall economy
conducted by new senior management. Accordingly, this segment is no longer
classified as a discontinued operation and amounts have been reclassified into
operations as required by Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 90-16 -
"Accounting for Discontinued Operations Subsequently Retained". All prior
periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Based on the expected net realizable value of the business determined during the
negotiations to sell the business, AHI had recorded a pretax net loss of $34.5
million in the fourth quarter of 2000, $23.8 million net of tax benefit. AHI
also had recorded an additional net loss of $3.3 million in the first quarter of
2001, as a result of price adjustments resulting from the negotiations.
Concurrent with the decision to no longer classify the business as a
discontinued operation, the remaining accrued loss of $37.8 million ($27.1
million net of tax) was reversed in the third quarter of 2001 and recorded as
part of earnings from discontinued operations. Additionally, the segment's net
income of $3.1 million for the first and second quarter of 2001 was reclassified
into earnings from continuing operations for those periods.

During the third quarter of 2001, AHI concluded there were indicators of
impairment related to certain assets in this segment, and accordingly, an
impairment evaluation was conducted at the end of the third quarter under the
guidelines of SFAS No. 121 - "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". This evaluation led to an
impairment charge of $8.4 million, representing the excess of book value over
estimated fair value which was determined using a net discounted cash flows
approach. The charge was included in cost of sales. The impairment was related
to property, plant and equipment that produce certain products for which AHI
anticipates lower demand in the future. Additionally, an inventory write-down of
$2.1 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2001 within cost of sales
related to certain products that will no longer be sold.

On May 31, 2000, Armstrong completed its sale of all of the entities, assets and
certain liabilities comprising its Insulation Products segment to Orion
Einundvierzigste Beteiligungsgesellschaft Mbh, a subsidiary of the Dutch
investment firm Gilde Investment Management N.V. for $264 million. The
transaction resulted in an after tax gain of $114.8 million, or $2.86 per share
in 2000. During 2001, AHI recorded a pretax loss of $1.1 million related to its
divestiture of its Insulation Products segment. This loss resulted from certain
post-closing adjustments.

Other Divestitures
On July 31, 2000, Armstrong completed the sale of its Installation Products
Group ("IPG") to subsidiaries of the German company Ardex GmbH, for $86 million
in cash. Ardex purchased substantially all of the assets and liabilities of IPG
including its shares of the W.W. Henry Company. The transaction resulted in an
after tax gain of $44.1 million ($60.2 million pretax) or $1.10 per share and
was recorded in other non-operating income during the third quarter of 2000. The
financial results of IPG were reported as part of the Resilient Flooring
segment. Under the terms of a supply agreement, Armstrong agreed to purchase
some of its installation products needs from Ardex for an initial term of eight
years, subject to certain minimums for the first five years after the sale. The
agreement also called for price adjustments based upon changing market prices
for raw materials, labor and energy costs. During February 2003, Armstrong and
Ardex reached a settlement in principle on several open issues, which must be
approved by the Court. The settlement allowed for the payment of the
pre-petition liability to Ardex with a discount, adjusted the pricing for
Armstrong's adhesives purchases, eliminated the minimum purchase requirement and
resolved environmental remediation disputes. Under the settlement, Ardex will
file a proof of claim related to environmental remediation in AWI's Chapter 11
Case, which will be treated as an allowed unsecured claim. This claim resulted
in a fourth quarter 2002 charge of $5.3 million, which was recorded in other
non-operating expense.

In November 2000, Armstrong sold a component of its Textiles and Sports Flooring
segment. As this divestiture included a business classified as held for sale
since its July 1998 acquisition, Armstrong had been recording the 2000 operating
losses of this business within selling, general and administrative ("SG&A")
expense. The overall 2000 impact was a reduction of SG&A expense of $0.7
million.

                                       51

<PAGE>

Acquisitions
During 2001, AHI spent $5.6 million to purchase some of the remaining minority
interest of already-consolidated entities within the Resilient Flooring segment.
Approximately $5.0 million of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill.

On May 18, 2000, AHI acquired privately-held Switzerland-based Gema Holding AG
("Gema"), a manufacturer and installer of metal ceilings, for $6 million plus
certain contingent consideration not to exceed $25.5 million, based on results
over the three year period ending December 31, 2002. The purchase agreement
requires that the former owners of Gema are advised of the probable contingent
consideration calculation within 30 days of the Gema's audited financial
statements being available. If the former owners do not accept such calculation
within 30 days, the contingent consideration calculation will be finally
determined by a third party. Management expects any contingent consideration to
be negligible.

The acquisition was recorded under the purchase method of accounting. The
purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed
based on the estimated fair market value at the date of acquisition. Contingent
consideration, when and if paid, will be accounted for as additional purchase
price. The fair market value of net tangible and identifiable intangible net
assets acquired exceeded the purchase price by $24.2 million and this amount was
recorded as a reduction of the fair value of property, plant and equipment.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
As part of its normal operations, AHI enters into numerous contractual
obligations that require specific payments during the term of the various
agreements. The following table includes amounts ongoing under contractual
obligations existing as of December 31, 2002. Only known payments that are
dependent solely on the passage of time are included. Obligations under
contracts that contain minimum payment amounts are shown at the minimum payment
amount. Contracts that still require performance to be rendered by AHI or the
counter-party, or have variable payment structures without minimum payments, are
excluded. Amounts are presented below based upon the currently scheduled payment
terms. Actual future payments may differ from the amounts presented below due to
changes in payment terms or events leading to payments in addition to the
minimum contractual amounts.

As of December 31, 2002, Armstrong maintained agreements with the lending
institutions of two of its distributors. Under these agreements, if a
distributor were to default on its borrowings and the lender foreclosed on the
assets, the bank could return a large part of any Armstrong product still at the
distributor (subject to certain quality and roll size minimums) for a refund of
original cost. The last agreement will expire in February 2004. At December 31,
2002, the amount of inventory held at these distributors was less than $8.0
million. No claim has been made under any of these agreements and AHI does not
anticipate any such claims in the future. As such, no liability has been
recorded for these agreements.

Armstrong is party to supply agreements, some of which require the purchase of
inventory remaining at the supplier upon termination of the agreement. The last
such agreement will expire on October 31, 2005. Had these agreements terminated
at December 31, 2002, Armstrong would have been obligated to purchase
approximately $6.1 million of inventory. Historically, due to production
planning, Armstrong has not had to purchase material amounts of product at the
end of similar contracts. Accordingly, Armstrong has recorded no liability for
these guarantees.

As part of its executive compensation plan, AHI offers certain executives the
ability to participate in a split-dollar insurance program where AHI is
responsible for remitting the premiums. As of December 31, 2002, AHI carried a
cash surrender value asset of $5.3 million related to this program. Should AHI
discontinue making premium payments, the insured executives have the right to
the entire policy cash surrender value. In light of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, AHI
currently believes it would be inappropriate to make the premium payments for
four of the executives participating in this plan. As a result, beginning in
2003, AHI requires these four individuals to make the premium payments if they
wish to continue the policy.

AHI utilizes other commercial commitments in order to ensure that adequate funds
are available to meet operating requirements. Letters of credit are issued to
third party suppliers, insurance and financial institutions and can only be
drawn upon in the event of AHI's failure to pay its obligations to the
beneficiary. This table summarizes the commitments AHI has available for use and
has outstanding. Standby letters of credit are currently arranged through AWI's
DIP Facility with JP Morgan Chase. Certain standby letters of credit arranged
with Wachovia prior to the Filing have been renewed at their scheduled
expiration date.

In addition, AHI has lines of credit totaling $51.1 million, of which $5.9
million was used at December 31, 2002 and $45.2 million was available to ensure
funds are available to meet operating requirements. Subsequent to December 31,
2002, lines of credit for the Building Products segment totaling $0.7 million
were withdrawn by the lender.

In disposing of assets through mid 2000, AWI and some subsidiaries had entered
into contracts that included various indemnity provisions, covering such matters
as taxes, environmental liabilities and asbestos and other litigation. Some of
these contracts had exposure limits, but many did not. Due to the nature of the
indemnities, there is no way to estimate the potential maximum exposure under
these contracts. As a debtor-in-possession, for those contracts that are still
executory where AWI was the sole guarantor, AWI anticipates rejecting those
contracts effective the date of Filing. Parties having claims under those
contracts could have filed claims in AWI's Chapter 11 Case, which will be dealt
with as part of the Case. AWI cannot estimate the value of any potential claims
that will ultimately be allowed by the Court. See Item 1 regarding Proceedings
under Chapter 11.

Subsidiaries that are not part of the Chapter 11 Filing also entered into
certain contracts that included various indemnity provisions similar to those
described above. Since these subsidiaries are not part of

                                       53

<PAGE>

the Chapter 11 filing, these contracts continue to be in effect. Some of these
contracts had exposure limits, but many did not. Due to the nature of the
indemnities, there is no way to estimate the potential maximum exposure under
all these contracts. For contracts under which an indemnity claim has been
received, a liability of $1.4 million has been recorded as of December 31, 2002.
See Item 3 regarding Litigation for additional information.

In September 1999, Armstrong sold its Textiles Products operations. As part of
the divestiture agreement, Armstrong transferred certain liabilities and assets
to the purchaser to cover pension payments earned by the workforce as of the
sale date. Armstrong also will reimburse the purchaser for such pension payments
that are not covered by the pension assets. In addition, Armstrong also agreed
to reimburse the purchaser for the tax impact of Armstrong's reimbursement of
the pension payments. This agreement has no termination date. As of December 31,
2002, Armstrong maintained a $1.2 million liability for this guarantee and the
maximum payments could be approximately $2.6 million, excluding any amounts paid
for tax reimbursement.

See Notes 4 and 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of
the ESOP loan guarantee.

RELATED PARTIES
Armstrong sold 65% of its ownership in its gasket products subsidiary, (now
known as Interface Solutions, Inc. or "ISI") on June 30, 1999. Armstrong still
retains 35% ownership of this business as of December 31, 2002. As part of the
divestiture, Armstrong agreed to continue to purchase a portion of the felt
products used in the manufacturing of resilient flooring from ISI for an initial
term of eight years. Currently, Armstrong is required to purchase at least 75%
of its felt requirements from ISI. The sale agreement also stipulated quarterly
felt price adjustments that are based upon changing market prices for the felt.
In October 2002, the agreement was amended to include a cap on increases for
2003 and 2004. Armstrong can purchase felt products from another supplier if
ISI's prices are more than 10% higher than another supplier's prices. Armstrong
and ISI are required to cooperate in product reformulation and new product
development, but Armstrong is free to seek alternatives to felt products.
Additionally, Armstrong receives nominal monthly payments from ISI for some
logistics and administrative services. ISI had filed a proof of claim in
Armstrong's Chapter 11 Case requesting payment for Armstrong's prepetition
obligations. This matter was settled in November 2002 with Armstrong receiving a
net payment of $0.2 million, with the Bankruptcy Court's approval.

See "Other Divestitures" for a discussion of Armstrong's relationship with
Ardex.

Armstrong purchases some grid products from WAVE, its 50%-owned joint venture
with Worthington Industries. The total amount of these purchases was
approximately $41 million, $38 million and $41 million for the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Armstrong also provides certain
selling and administrative processing services to WAVE for which it receives
reimbursement. Additionally, WAVE leases certain land and buildings from
Armstrong.

As discussed in Item 13, AHI did not have any material related party
transactions with any of its outside directors.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations," which establishes the accounting for an
obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. The
standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. While AHI
is finalizing its review of this standard, adoption of this standard is not
expected to have a material impact on AHI's consolidated results of operations
or financial condition.

                                       54

<PAGE>

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities," which addresses accounting for restructuring
and similar costs. The standard is effective for activities initiated after
December 31, 2002. The standard requires that the liability for costs associated
with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred
and not at project initiation. The standard also establishes that the liability
should be recorded at fair value. The adoption of this standard is not expected
to have a material impact on AHI's consolidated results of operations or
financial condition.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others." The disclosure requirements of the standard were
effective December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements have been adopted and
are included in this annual 10-K report. The recognition and initial measurement
provisions are effective for guarantees entered into or modified after December
31, 2002. While AHI is finalizing its review of this standard, adoption of this
standard is not anticipated to have a material impact on AHI's consolidated
results of operations or financial condition.

In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force released Issue No. 00-21,
"Revenue with Multiple Deliverables." This pronouncement, effective for revenue
arrangements entered into after June 30, 2003, defines multiple deliverables and
describes when revenue should be recognized. While AHI is finalizing its review
of the standard, adoption of this standard is not anticipated to have a material
impact on AHI's consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" which amended FASB Statement No. 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." AHI adopted the disclosure
requirements in this Form 10-K. Since AHI currently does not plan to adopt the
fair value method of accounting of Statement No. 123, AHI anticipates no
material impact on consolidated results of operations or financial condition in
2003.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities" which addresses consolidation by businesses of

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Market Risk
Armstrong is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange
rates, interest rates and commodity prices that could impact its results of
operations and financial condition. Armstrong uses financial instruments,
including fixed and variable rate debt, as well as swap, forward and option
contracts to finance its operations and to hedge interest rate, currency and
commodity exposures. Armstrong regularly monitors developments in the capital
markets and only enters into currency and swap transactions with established
counterparties having investment-grade ratings. Exposure to individual
counterparties is controlled, and thus Armstrong considers the risk of
counterparty default to be negligible. Swap, forward and option contracts are
entered into for periods consistent with underlying exposure and do not
constitute positions independent of those exposures. Armstrong uses derivative
financial instruments as risk management tools and not for speculative trading
purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a
diversified group of major financial institutions and energy companies in order
to manage Armstrong's exposure to nonperformance on such instruments.

Interest Rate Sensitivity
Due to AWI's Chapter 11 Filing, all affected debt has been classified as
liabilities subject to compromise. All such debt will be addressed in the
Chapter 11 Case and during the pendency thereof, AWI does not expect to pay any
principal, interest or other payments in respect thereof unless approved by the
Bankruptcy Court. However, AHI also has debt of entities that were not a part of
the Chapter 11 filing, which are being paid on schedule. The table below
provides information about Armstrong's long-term debt obligations as of December
31, 2002, and December 31, 2001, including cash flows and related
weighted-average interest rates by scheduled maturity dates. Weighted-average
variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at the
reporting date. The information is presented in U.S. dollar equivalents, which
is Armstrong's reporting currency. The amounts below reflect only post-petition
debt and debt of entities that are not a part of the Chapter 11 Filing.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity
Armstrong manufactures and sells its products in a number of countries
throughout the world and, as a result, is exposed to movements in foreign
currency exchange rates. To a large extent, Armstrong's global manufacturing and
sales provide a natural hedge of foreign currency exchange rate movement, as
foreign currency expenses generally offset foreign currency revenues. At
December 31, 2002, Armstrong's major foreign currency exposures are to the
Canadian dollar, the Euro and the British pound.

Armstrong has used foreign currency forward exchange contracts to reduce its
exposure to the risk that the eventual net cash inflows and outflows, resulting
from the sale of product to foreign customers and purchases from foreign
suppliers, will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. These
derivative instruments are used for firmly committed or forecasted transactions.
These transactions allow Armstrong to further reduce its overall exposure to
exchange rate movements, since the gains and losses on these contracts offset
losses and gains on the transactions being hedged.

Armstrong also has used foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge
exposures created by cross-currency inter-company loans.

The table below details Armstrong's outstanding currency instruments as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001. All the instruments outstanding as of December 31,
2002 have scheduled maturity before dates before December 31, 2003.

Commodity Price Sensitivity
Armstrong purchases natural gas for use in the manufacture of ceiling tiles and
other products, as well as to heat many of its facilities. As a result,
Armstrong is exposed to movements in the price of natural gas. Armstrong has a
policy of minimizing natural gas cost volatility through derivative instruments,
including swap contracts, purchased call options, and zero-cash collars. The
table below provides information about Armstrong's natural gas contracts as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001 that are sensitive to changes in commodity prices.
Notional amounts and price ranges are in millions of Btu's (MMBtu).

There were no dividends paid in 2002 or 2001. The DIP Facility stipulates that
AWI will not declare or pay any dividends either directly or indirectly.

Note: The net sales and gross profit amounts reported above are reported on a
continuing operations basis and may differ from previously reported amounts due
to reclassifications to conform with current presentation. The sum of the
quarterly earnings per share data does not equal the total year amounts due to
changes in the average shares outstanding and, for diluted data, the exclusion
of the antidilutive effect in certain quarters.

Fourth Quarter 2002 Compared With Fourth Quarter 2001
Net sales of $752.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2002 increased from net
sales of $738.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2001, an increase of 1.9%.
Excluding the effect of foreign exchange, net sales decreased 0.4%. Resilient
Flooring net sales decreased 3.2% due to the effects of amendments to
distribution agreements described below, partially offset by increased net sales
in laminate due to volume and product mix. Wood Flooring net sales increased by
12.4% due to overall increases in volume and price. Textiles and Sports Flooring
increased 4.0%, but excluding the effect of foreign exchange, decreased 4.7% due
to lower sales volume and pricing. Building Products net sales increased by 3.4%
due to favorable effects of foreign exchange and increased volume. Cabinets
decreased by 14.0% due to lower sales volume. Net sales increased 0.9% and 7.2%
in the Americas and Europe, respectively, with

                                       59

the Pacific area remaining constant. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange,
Europe net sales decreased 1.6%.

During the fourth quarter of 2002, AHI amended its agreements with its
independent U.S. distributors related to sales of certain products to major home
center retailers in the Resilient Flooring and Building Products segments. Sales
are recorded under these agreements when the products are shipped from the
distributor's location to these retailers. Approximately $20.8 million of
revenue and $8.3 million of operating income will be recorded in subsequent
periods of 2003 for products shipped to these distributors during the fourth
quarter of 2002.

For the fourth quarter of 2002 and 2001, the cost of goods sold was 78.7% of
sales. During the fourth quarter of 2002, a charge of $9.3 million was recorded
relating to fixed asset impairment charges and inventory adjustments. Cost of
sales for the fourth quarter of 2002 also included a $2.4 million decreased U.S.
pension credit. During the fourth quarter of 2001, a charge of $5.5 million was
recorded to revise management's best estimate for the accrual of workers
compensation claims.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth quarter of
2002 were $150.0 million as compared to $146.6 million for the fourth quarter of
2001. The increase is primarily due to a $2.0 million decreased U.S. pension
credit. 2001 included $2.8 million of income from the reversal of
previously-accrued potential preference claims that have been resolved, as well
as $2.8 million of environmental and building demolition expenses at one
manufacturing facility.

The fourth quarter of 2002 included a non-cash asbestos charge of $2.5 billion
to increase its estimate of probable asbestos-related liability. See Note 32 of
the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In accordance with FAS 142, which was effective January 1, 2002, goodwill is no
longer amortized. As such, 2002 includes no goodwill amortization, which
compares to $5.7 million of goodwill amortization in 2001.

An operating loss from continuing operations of $2,485.8 million in the fourth
quarter of 2002 compared to operating income of $1.8 million in the fourth
quarter of 2001. Operating income prior to the asbestos charge in the fourth
quarter of 2002 was $14.2 million. Operating income prior to goodwill
amortization in the fourth quarter of 2001 was $7.5 million. The increase prior
to the asbestos charge and goodwill amortization is primarily the result of the
$6.0 million restructuring charge in the fourth quarter of 2001, a change in
vacation policy in 2002 resulting in a $2.9 million benefit within the Wood
Flooring and Cabinets segments, increased net sales and improved operating
performance in Wood Flooring, partially offset by increases in SG&A, as
discussed above.

Other non-operating expense in the fourth quarter of 2002 of $5.8 million
compared to $3.1 million in 2001. The increase was due to a $5.3 million charge
related to an environmental expense for a divested business, offset by lower
foreign currency transaction gains.

The effective tax rate benefit for the fourth quarter of 2002 was 34.8% compared
to a tax benefit rate of 85.7% for the same period of 2001. The rate for 2002
reflects the impact of an asbestos-related charge. The rate for 2001 was aided
by improving foreign tax credit utilization.

Net loss of $1,628.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2002 compared to net loss
of $0.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2001.

                    Armstrong Holdings Inc., and Subsidiaries
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND CHAPTER 11 REORGANIZATION
Armstrong World Industries, Inc. ("AWI") is a Pennsylvania corporation
incorporated in 1891, which together with its subsidiaries is referred to here
as "Armstrong". Through its U.S. operations and U.S. and international
subsidiaries, Armstrong designs, manufactures and sells flooring products
(resilient, wood, carpeting and sports flooring) as well as ceiling systems,
around the world. Armstrong products are sold primarily for use in the
finishing, refurbishing and repair of residential, commercial and institutional
buildings. Armstrong also designs, manufactures and sells kitchen and bathroom
cabinets to single and multi family homebuilders and remodelers.

Armstrong Holdings, Inc. (which together with its subsidiaries is referred to
here as "AHI") is the publicly held parent holding company of Armstrong.
Armstrong Holdings, Inc. became the parent company of Armstrong on May 1, 2000,
following AWI shareholder approval of a plan of exchange under which each share
of AWI was automatically exchanged for one share of Armstrong Holdings, Inc.
Armstrong Holdings, Inc. was formed for purposes of the share exchange and holds
no other significant assets or operations apart from AWI and AWI's subsidiaries.
Stock certificates that formerly represented shares of AWI were automatically
converted into certificates representing the same number of shares of Armstrong
Holdings, Inc. The publicly held debt of AWI was not affected in the
transaction.

Proceedings under Chapter 11
On December 6, 2000, AWI, the major operating subsidiary of AHI, filed a
voluntary petition for relief (the "Filing") under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware (the "Court") in order to use the court-supervised
reorganization process to achieve a resolution of its asbestos liability. Also
filing under Chapter 11 were two of Armstrong's wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Nitram Liquidators, Inc. ("Nitram") and Desseaux Corporation of North America,
Inc. ("Desseaux," and together with AWI and Nitram, the "Debtors"). The Chapter
11 cases are being jointly administered under case numbers 00-4469, 00-4470, and
00-4471 (the "Chapter 11 Case").

AWI is operating its business and managing its properties as a
debtor-in-possession subject to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant
to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, AWI is not permitted to pay any claims
or obligations which arose prior to the Filing date (prepetition claims) unless
specifically authorized by the Court. Similarly, claimants may not enforce any
claims against AWI that arose prior to the date of the Filing unless
specifically authorized by the Court. In addition, as a debtor-in-possession,
AWI has the right, subject to the Court's approval, to assume or reject any
executory contracts and unexpired leases in existence at the date of the Filing.
Parties having claims as a result of any such rejection may file claims with the
Court, which will be dealt with as part of the Chapter 11 Case.

Three creditors' committees, one representing asbestos personal injury claimants
(the "Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants' Committee"), one representing asbestos
property damage claimants (the "Asbestos Property Damage Committee"), and the
other representing other unsecured creditors (the "Unsecured Creditors'
Committee"), have been appointed in the Chapter 11 Case. In addition, an
individual has been appointed to represent the interests of future asbestos
personal injury claimants (the "Future Claimants' Representative"). In
accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, these parties have the
right to be heard on matters that come before the Court in the Chapter 11 Case.

Plan of Reorganization
On November 4, 2002, AWI filed a Plan of Reorganization with the Court and on
March 14, 2003, AWI filed its First Amended Plan of Reorganization and selected
exhibits (as so amended, it is referred to in this report as the "POR"). The POR
has been endorsed by AHI's Board of Directors and is supported by the Asbestos
Personal Injury Claimants' Committee, the Unsecured Creditors' Committee and the
Future Claimants' Representative. At present, AWI has not yet reached agreement
with the Asbestos Property Damage Committee with respect to the terms and
provisions of the POR. The POR provides for, among other things, the treatment
and discharge of all prepetition claims, including all asbestos-related claims.

                                       65

<PAGE>

The POR excludes Armstrong's Nitram and Desseaux subsidiaries. Implementation of
the POR and the treatment of claims and interests as provided therein is subject
to confirmation of the POR in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code. Therefore, the timing and terms of resolution of the Chapter 11 Case
remain uncertain.

Disclosure Statement
On December 20, 2002, a proposed disclosure statement with respect to the POR
was filed with the Court. On December 26, 2002, AWI filed projected financial
information with the Court as Exhibit C to the disclosure statement. On March
14, 2003, AWI filed an amended Disclosure Statement with the Court (as so
amended, it is referred to in this report as the "Disclosure Statement"). Prior
to soliciting acceptances to the POR, the Court must approve a disclosure
statement to be included as part of the solicitation materials and find that the
disclosure statement contains adequate information to enable those voting on the
POR to make an informed judgment to accept or reject the POR.

As indicated in the Disclosure Statement and its exhibits, the projected
financial information and various estimates of value therein discussed should
not be regarded as representations or warranties by AWI, AHI or any other person
as to the accuracy of such information or that any such projection or valuation
will be realized. The information in the Disclosure Statement, including the
projected financial information and estimates of value, has been prepared by AWI
and its financial advisors. This information has not been audited or reviewed by
independent accountants. The significant assumptions used in preparation of the
information and estimates of value are included in Exhibit C to the Disclosure
Statement. The Bankruptcy Court has scheduled the hearing to consider approval
of the Disclosure Statement for April 4, 2003.

The discussions of the POR and Disclosure Statement in this report are qualified
by reference to the full text of those documents as filed with the Court and
filed for reference purposes with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
POR and Disclosure Statement are available at www.armstrongplan.com, where
additional information will be posted as it becomes available.

Objections to the Disclosure Statement
During February 2003, several parties involved in the Chapter 11 Case filed
objections to the initial Disclosure Statement with the Court. Objections were
filed by, among others, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, the Center for Claims
Resolution, Travelers Indemnity Company and Travelers Casualty and Surety
Company, Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., as Indenture Trustee, and the
Unofficial Committee of Select Asbestos Claimants. Additional objections may be
filed against the amended Disclosure Statement. The Court heard and addressed
many of these objections at the February 28, 2003 hearing. Any remaining
objections are expected to be addressed at the April 4, 2003 hearing.

Asbestos Personal Injury Trust
A principal feature of the POR is the creation of a trust (the "Asbestos PI
Trust"), pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, to which all present
and future asbestos-related personal injury claims, including contribution
claims of co-defendants, will be channeled. In accordance with the "524(g)
injunction" to be issued by the Court in connection with the confirmation of the
POR, various entities will be protected from suit on account of present and
future asbestos-related personal injury claims. These entities include, among
others, AWI, reorganized AWI, AHI, AWI's affiliates, and their respective
officers and directors. Claims resolution procedures to be utilized by the
Asbestos PI Trust have been developed. These procedures will govern the
allowance and payment by the Asbestos PI Trust of all present and future
asbestos-related personal injury claims. The Asbestos PI Trust will be funded
with AWI's rights to insurance providing coverage for asbestos-related personal
injury claims, as well as a share of cash, notes, and common stock to be issued
under the POR to creditors, as described below.

                                       66

Consideration to Be Distributed under the POR (unaudited)
The Asbestos PI Trust and the holders of unsecured claims will share in the POR
consideration that is made up of the following components:

     .  Available Cash, which is comprised of:
         .  Cash available on the effective date of the POR after reserving up
            to $100 million to fund ongoing operations and making provisions for
            certain required payments under the POR,
         .  Any cash drawn, at AWI's sole discretion, under an exit finance
            facility for the purpose of funding distributions under the POR, and
         .  Certain insurance proceeds related to environmental matters
     .  Plan Notes of reorganized AWI with a term of 5 to 10 years and/or net
        proceeds from any private offerings of debt securities, and
     .  Substantially all of the outstanding common stock of reorganized AWI

The total amount of Plan Notes will be the greater of (i) $1.125 billion less
Available Cash and (ii) $775 million. However, AWI will use reasonable efforts
to issue one or more private offerings of debt securities on, or as soon as
practicable after, the Effective Date that would yield net proceeds at least
equal to the amount of the Plan Notes prescribed by the Plan. If the private
offerings are successful, the Plan Notes would not be issued. If the offerings
yield proceeds less than the amount of the Plan Notes prescribed by the Plan,
AWI will issue Plan Notes equal to the difference. The private offerings, if
issued, will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be
offered or sold in the U.S. absent registration or an applicable exemption from
registration requirements.

The POR provides that unsecured creditors, other than convenience creditors
described below, will receive their pro rata share of:
     .  34.43% of the new common stock,
     .  34.43% of the first $1.05 billion of
         .  Up to $300 million of Available Cash and
         .  The principal amount of Plan Notes and/or net cash proceeds from any
            private debt offerings of debt securities.
     .  60% of the next $50 million of Available Cash and, if such Available
        Cash is less than $50 million, then 60% of Plan Notes and/or net cash
        proceeds from any private debt offerings of debt securities, in an
        amount equal to the difference between $50 million and the amount of
        such Available Cash, and
     .  34.43% of the remaining amount of Available Cash and Plan Notes and/or
        net cash proceeds from any private debt offerings of debt securities.
The remaining amount of new common stock, Available Cash and Plan Notes and/or
net cash proceeds from any private debt offerings of debt securities, will be
distributed to the Asbestos PI Trust.

Under the POR, unsecured creditors whose claims (other than debt securities) are
less than $10,000 or who elect to reduce their claims to $10,000 will be treated
as "convenience creditors" and will receive payment of 75% of their allowed
claim amount in cash.

Asbestos property damage claims that are still disputed as of the effective date
of the POR will be channeled to a separate trust ("Asbestos PD Trust") under the
POR. If the class of asbestos property damage claimants votes to accept the POR,
the Asbestos PD Trust will be funded with $0.5 million to $2.0 million in cash
based upon the number of disputed claims (which will be funded exclusively from
the proceeds of insurance). If the class of asbestos property damage claimants
rejects the POR, the Court will estimate the aggregate value of asbestos
property damage claims, and the Asbestos PD Trust will be funded exclusively
with rights to insurance in an amount sufficient to provide for payment in full
of asbestos property damage claims, up to the aggregate amount estimated by the
Court. However, if less than 25 disputed asbestos property damage claims remain
outstanding as of the effective date of the POR, AWI may elect, in its sole
discretion, to litigate the merits of each remaining asbestos property damage
claim before the Court and pay any allowed claim in full, in cash, from
insurance proceeds rather than channel the asbestos property damage claims to
the Asbestos PD Trust.

Under the POR, the existing equity interests in AWI will be cancelled. The POR
provides for the potential distribution, with respect to existing equity, of
warrants to purchase shares of reorganized AWI (the "Warrants"). The terms of
the Warrants would all be measured from the effective date of the POR. The
Warrants:
     .  Would constitute 5% of the common stock of reorganized AWI on a fully
        diluted basis:
     .  Would have a 7-year exercisable term; and
     .  Would contain an exercise price equal to 125% of the per share equity
        value of reorganized AWI, as agreed among the financial advisers for
        AWI, the Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants' Committee, the Unsecured
        Creditors' Committee, and the Future Claimants' Representative, and
        which will be set forth in the Court-approved disclosure statement for
        the POR.
The Warrants are estimated to have a value on the effective date of the POR of
approximately $40 million to $50 million.

AHI's shareholders will have no actual vote on the POR. If the POR is
implemented, the only value that will be retained by AHI shareholders is the
potential to receive their ratable share of the Warrants if AHI's Plan of
Liquidation (see discussion below) is approved. If the shareholders and Board of
Directors of AHI do not approve AHI's Plan of Liquidation, AHI will not receive
any Warrants to distribute to its shareholders.

Consideration Value Defined by the Disclosure Statement (unaudited)
In the Disclosure Statement, assuming an Effective Date of the POR of July 1,
2003, and based on estimates of the fair value of reorganized AWI, the total
value of consideration to be distributed to the Asbestos PI Trust, other than
the asbestos product liability insurance policies, will be approximately $2.1
billion, and the total value of consideration to be distributed to holders of
allowed unsecured claims (other than convenience claims) will be approximately
$1.1 billion. Based upon the estimated value of the POR consideration and AWI's
estimate that unsecured claims allowed by the Court (other than convenience
claims) will total approximately $1.65 billion, AWI estimates that holders of
allowed unsecured claims (other than convenience claims) will receive a recovery
having a value equal to approximately 66.5% of their allowed claims. AWI's
estimates of the consideration and potential recoveries are based upon many
assumptions, including:
     .  The estimated reorganization value for AWI is between $2.7 billion and
        $3.3 billion (with a midpoint of $3.0 billion)
     .  The estimated equity value of new common stock is between $25.60 and
        $34.40 per share with a midpoint of $30.00 per share (assuming a
        distribution of 67.5 million shares of new common stock to holders of
        unsecured claims and the Asbestos PI Trust)
     .  The Plan Notes will be in the aggregate principal amount of $775 million
        and are worth their face value
     .  AWI expects to have Available Cash of approximately $350 million
     .  The estimated value of the Warrants is between $40 million and $50
        million

AHI's Plan of Liquidation
In connection with the consummation of the POR, the existing equity interests in
AWI will be cancelled, and the common stock of reorganized AWI will be held
principally by AWI's unsecured creditors and the Asbestos PI Trust. The POR
contemplates that AHI will propose to its shareholders that it adopt a plan for
winding up and dissolving itself. The POR provides that, in order for AHI to
receive the Warrants, the shareholders and Board of Directors of AHI must
approve AHI's Plan of Liquidation within one year after the occurrence of the
effective date under the POR. If such approval is not obtained, the holder of
AWI's existing equity interest will not receive the Warrants. The POR provides
that reorganized AWI will pay any costs and expenses incurred in connection with
AHI's Plan of Liquidation. More information regarding the contemplated
dissolution and winding up of AHI will be made available to AHI shareholders in
the future.

Structure of Reorganized AWI
As disclosed within the 2002 third quarter Form 10-Q filing, AWI had planned to
effectuate a "division" under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law in
connection with the consummation of the POR. Under the planned division,
reorganized AWI was to separate into a holding company and separate wholly-owned
subsidiaries carrying out its major lines of business. After further analysis
and review, the previously contemplated division will no longer occur and AWI
will emerge from bankruptcy protection as the parent and primary operating
company.

Common Stock and Debt Securities
As a result of filing the POR on November 4, 2002, the New York Stock Exchange
stopped trading on the Exchange of the common stock of AHI (traded under the
ticker symbol "ACK") and two debt securities of AWI (traded under the ticker
symbols "AKK" and "ACK 08"). AHI's common stock has resumed trading in the
over-the-counter (OTC) Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol "ACKHQ" and one of
AWI's debt securities has resumed trading under the ticker symbol "AKKWQ".

Bar Date for Filing Claims
The Court established August 31, 2001 as the bar date for all claims against AWI
except for asbestos-related personal injury claims and certain other specified
claims. A bar date is the date by which claims against AWI must be filed if the
claimants wish to participate in any distribution in the Chapter 11 Case. The
Court has extended the bar date for claims from several environmental agencies
until the first quarter of 2003. On March 1, 2002, the Court allowed certain
holders of alleged asbestos property damage claims to file a class proof of
claim against AWI and extended the bar date for asbestos property damage claims
to March 20, 2002. In July 2002, the Court denied the certification of the
proposed class and held that the plaintiffs' proof of claim shall only be
effective as to the named claimants. A bar date for asbestos-related personal
injury claims (other than claims for contribution, indemnification, or
subrogation) has not been set.

Approximately 4,600 proofs of claim (including late-filed claims) totaling
approximately $6.2 billion alleging a right to payment from AWI were filed with
the Court in response to the August 31, 2001 bar date, which are discussed
below. AWI continues to investigate claims. The Court will ultimately determine
liability amounts that will be allowed as part of the Chapter 11 process.

In its ongoing review of the filed claims, AWI has identified and successfully
objected to approximately 1,300 claims totaling $1.6 billion. These claims were
primarily duplicate filings, claims that were subsequently amended or claims
that are not related to AWI. The Court disallowed these claims with prejudice.

Approximately 1,000 proofs of claim totaling approximately $1.9 billion are
pending with the Court that are associated with asbestos-related personal injury
litigation, including direct personal injury claims, claims by co-defendants for
contribution and indemnification, and claims relating to AWI's participation in
the Center for Claims Resolution (the "Center"). As stated above, the bar date
of August 31, 2001 did not apply to asbestos-related personal injury claims
other than claims for contribution, indemnification, or subrogation. The POR
contemplates that all asbestos-related personal injury claims, including claims
for contribution, indemnification, or subrogation, will be addressed in the
future pursuant to the procedures to be developed in connection with the POR.
See further discussion regarding AWI's liability for asbestos-

related matters in Note 32 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Approximately 500 proofs of claim totaling approximately $0.8 billion alleging
asbestos-related property damage are pending with the Court. Most of these
claims were new to AWI and many were submitted with insufficient documentation
to assess their validity. As part of determining whether AWI asbestos containing
resilient floor covering products give rise to property damage liability, the
Court conducted an initial hearing on September 26 - 27, 2002 to decide the type
of scientific testing allowable under the Federal Rules of Evidence to prove or
disprove whether such products cause building contamination. On October 22,
2002, the Court granted AWI's requested relief and ruled that the methodology
offered by the Asbestos Property Damage Committee in support of its claims is
not a scientifically valid method of quantifying the level of asbestos
contamination in a building. On November 1, 2002, the Court directed that all
property damage claimants provide, in support of their claims, substantiation
that Armstrong flooring products were used in the claimants' buildings. The
Court's deadline for submission of such product identification documentation was
February 10, 2003. Prior to the Court's deadline, AWI reached an agreement in
principle to settle approximately 360 property damage claims, which alleged
damages of $0.2 billion, for approximately $2 million. Any amounts to be paid
are expected to be funded by insurance. This settlement is subject to the
Court's approval, which is scheduled to be heard by the Court on April 4, 2003.
Additionally, 130 property damage claims have been disallowed or withdrawn.
Approximately 100 property damage claims totaling $0.6 billion will remain
unresolved if the settlement is approved. Only 26 of these approximately 100
remaining property damage claims submitted product identification by the
February 10, 2003 deadline referred to above. AWI expects to continue vigorously
defending any asserted asbestos-related property damage claims in the Court. AWI
believes that it has a significant amount of existing insurance coverage
available for asbestos-related property damage liability, with the amount
ultimately available dependent upon, among other things, the profile of the
claims that may be allowed by the Court. AWI's history of property damage
litigation prior to the Chapter 11 filing is described in Note 32 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Approximately 1,800 claims totaling approximately $1.9 billion alleging a right
to payment for financing, environmental, trade debt and other claims are pending
with the Court. For these categories of claims, AWI has previously recorded
approximately $1.6 billion in liabilities. AWI continues to investigate the
claims to determine their validity.

AWI continues to evaluate claims filed in the Chapter 11 Case. AWI has recorded
liability amounts for claims whose value can be reasonably estimated and which
it believes are probable of being allowed by the Court. During the fourth
quarter of 2002, AWI recorded a $2.5 billion charge to increase its estimate of
probable asbestos-related liability based on the developments in the Chapter 11
Case. See Note 32 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion. At this time, it is impossible to reasonably estimate the value of
all the claims that will ultimately be allowed by the Court. However, it is
likely the value of the claims ultimately allowed by the Court will be different
than amounts presently recorded by AWI and could be material to AWI's financial
position and the results of its operations. Management will continue to review
the recorded liability in light of future developments in the Chapter 11 Case
and make changes to the recorded liability if and when it is appropriate.

Financing
On November 1, 2002, the Court announced it had approved AWI's motion to reduce
the amount of its debtor-in-possession credit facility (the "DIP Facility") from
$200 million to $75 million, eliminate the revolving credit borrowing feature,
retain the letter of credit issuance facility and extend the maturity date to
December 8, 2003. As of December 31, 2002, AWI had approximately $28.7 million
in letters of credit which were issued pursuant to the DIP Facility. As of
December 31, 2002, AWI had $76.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, excluding
cash held by its non-debtor subsidiaries. The decrease from the $205.9 million
of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2002 is primarily due to an
intercompany payment of $120 million from AWI to a wholly owned non-debtor
subsidiary under a license agreement for use of intangible assets and
intellectual property. This payment does not affect Armstrong's consolidated
cash balance. AWI believes that cash on hand and generated from operations and
dividends from its subsidiaries, together with lines of credit and the DIP
Facility, will be adequate to address its foreseeable

                                       70

<PAGE>

liquidity needs. Obligations under the DIP Facility, including reimbursement of
draws under the letters of credit, if any, constitute superpriority
administrative expense claims in the Chapter 11 Case.

Accounting Impact
AICPA Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7") provides financial
reporting guidance for entities that are reorganizing under the Bankruptcy Code.
This guidance is implemented in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

Pursuant to SOP 90-7, AWI is required to segregate prepetition liabilities that
are subject to compromise and report them separately on the balance sheet. See
Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for detail of the liabilities
subject to compromise at December 31, 2002 and 2001. Liabilities that may be
affected by a plan of reorganization are recorded at the expected amount of the
allowed claims, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. Substantially
all of AWI's prepetition debt, now in default, is recorded at face value and is
classified within liabilities subject to compromise. Obligations of Armstrong
subsidiaries not covered by the Filing remain classified on the consolidated
balance sheet based upon maturity date. AWI's estimated liability for
asbestos-related personal injury claims is also recorded in liabilities subject
to compromise. See Note 32 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion of AWI's asbestos liability.

Additional prepetition claims (liabilities subject to compromise) may arise due
to the rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases, or as a result of
the allowance of contingent or disputed claims.

SOP 90-7 also requires separate reporting of all revenues, expenses, realized
gains and losses, and provision for losses related to the Filing as Chapter 11
reorganization costs, net. Accordingly, AWI recorded the following Chapter 11
reorganization activities during 2002, 2001 and 2000:

Professional fees represent legal and financial advisory fees and expenses
directly related to the Filing.

Interest income is earned from short-term investments of cash by AWI subsequent
to the Filing.

Reductions to prepetition liabilities represent the difference between the
prepetition invoiced amount and the actual cash payment made to certain vendors
due to negotiated settlements. These payments of prepetition obligations were
made pursuant to authority granted by the Court.

Termination of prepetition lease obligation represents the reversal of an
accrual for future lease payments for office space in the U.S. that AWI will not
pay due to the termination of the lease contract. This amount was previously
accrued in the third quarter of 2000 as part of a restructuring charge when the
decision to vacate the premises was made.

                                       71

<PAGE>

ESOP related costs include a $43.3 million impairment charge related to amounts
borrowed by the ESOP from Armstrong, the trustee of the ESOP. After the Filing,
it was expected that the ESOP would no longer have the ability to repay
Armstrong money it previously borrowed. In addition, a $15.5 million expense was
recorded related to interest and tax penalty guarantees owed to ESOP bondholders
caused by the default on the ESOP bonds.

In order to record prepetition debt at the face value or the amount of the
expected allowed claims, AWI adjusted the amount of net debt and debt issue
costs and recorded a pretax expense of $42.0 million.

As a result of the Filing, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities
are subject to uncertainty. While operating as a debtor-in-possession, AWI may
sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or settle liabilities for
amounts other than those reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
Although a POR and Disclosure Statement have been filed with the Court,
implementation of the POR is subject to confirmation of the POR in accordance
with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. AWI is unable to predict when and if
the POR will be confirmed. Therefore, the timing and terms of a resolution of
the Chapter 11 Case remain uncertain. Further, a confirmed plan of
reorganization could materially change the amounts and classifications reported
in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation Policy. The consolidated financial statements and accompanying
data in this report include the accounts of AHI and its majority-owned
subsidiaries. The results of less than majority owned subsidiaries are accounted
for under the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. Certain prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates. These financial statements are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and include management estimates and
judgments, where appropriate. Management utilizes estimates to record many items
including asbestos-related liabilities and insurance asset recoveries and
reserves for bad debts, inventory obsolescence, warranty, workers compensation,
general liability and environmental claims. Management determines the amount of
necessary reserves based upon all known relevant information. Management also
confers with outside parties, including outside counsel, where appropriate.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition. AHI recognizes revenue from the sale of products and the
related accounts receivable no earlier than the date on which title transfers,
generally on the date of shipment. A provision is made for the estimated cost of
rebates and promotional programs. Provisions for estimated discounts and bad
debt losses are based on knowledge of specific customers and a review of
outstanding accounts receivable balances.

Sales Incentives. In accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")
Issue No. 00-014, "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives," certain sales
incentives are recorded as a reduction of net sales for all periods presented.
In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-022, "Accounting for `Points' and Certain
Other Time-Based or Volume-Based Sales Incentive Offers, and Offers for Free
Products or Services to Be Delivered in the Future," certain sales volume
incentives are recorded as a reduction of net sales for all periods presented.
In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-025, "Vendor Income Statement
Characterization of Consideration from a Vendor to a Retailer," effective
January 1, 2002, AHI has reclassified $1.9 million from selling, general and
administrative expenses to a reduction of net sales for both 2001 and 2000.

Shipping and Handling Costs. Shipping and handling costs are reflected in cost
of goods sold for all periods presented.

Advertising Costs. AHI recognizes advertising expenses as they are incurred.

                                       72

<PAGE>

Pension and Postretirement Benefits. AHI has benefit plans that provide for
pension, medical and life insurance benefits to certain eligible employees when
they retire from active service. Generally, AHI's practice is to fund the
actuarially determined current service costs and the amounts necessary to
amortize prior service obligations over periods ranging up to 30 years, but not
in excess of the funding limitations.

Taxes. The provision for income taxes has been determined using the asset and
liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized using enacted tax rates for expected future tax
consequences of events recognized in the financial statements or tax returns.
The provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable for the
current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Valuation
allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely
than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. The tax benefit for dividends
paid on unallocated shares of stock held by the ESOP was recognized in
shareholders' equity.

Gains and Losses on Divestitures. AHI generally records the gain or loss on
divested businesses in other non-operating income or expense.

Earnings (loss) per Common Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed
by dividing the earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per common
share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the
earnings (loss). The diluted earnings (loss) per share computations for some
periods use the basic number of shares due to the loss from continuing
operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and
short-term investments that have maturities of three months or less when
purchased.

Concentration of Credit. AHI principally sells products to customers in the
building products industries, in various geographic regions. In 2002,
Armstrong's net sales to The Home Depot, Inc. totaled approximately $380.3
million compared to approximately $340.8 million and $373.2 million in 2001 and
2000, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of Armstrong's
revenue. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk other than with
two home center customers who represent 22% and 18% of AHI's trade receivables
as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. AHI continuously evaluates the
creditworthiness of its customers and generally does not require collateral.

Inventories. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventories
also include certain resilient flooring samples used in ongoing sales and
marketing activities.

Property and Depreciation. Property, plant and equipment values are stated at
acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation
charges for financial reporting purposes are determined on the straight-line
basis at rates calculated to provide for the retirement of assets at the end of
their useful lives, generally as follows: buildings, 20 to 40 years; machinery
and equipment, 3 to 20 years.

In accordance with SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets," effective January 1, 2002, impairment losses are recorded
when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows
estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying
amount. For purposes of calculating any impairment, fair values are determined
using a net discounted cash flows approach. When assets are disposed of or
retired, their costs and related depreciation are removed from the financial
statements and any resulting gains or losses normally are reflected in "Selling,
general and administrative expenses."

Costs of the construction of certain property include capitalized interest which
is amortized over the estimated useful life of the related asset. There was no
capitalized interest recorded in 2002 and 2001 due to the Chapter 11 Filing.
Capitalized interest was $0.4 million in 2000.

                                       73

<PAGE>

Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Effective January 1, 2002, AHI adopted SFAS No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("FAS 142"), which requires that
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be
amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. AHI's annual
impairment test is performed in the fourth quarter. FAS 142 also requires that
intangible assets with determinable useful lives be amortized over their
respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and
reviewed for impairment. See Note 12 for required disclosure on goodwill and
other intangibles.

Contingent Liabilities. In the context of the Chapter 11 Case, contingent
liabilities, including claims that became known after the Filing, are recorded
on the basis of the expected amount of the allowed claim in accordance with SOP
90-7 as opposed to the amount for which a claim may be settled.

Foreign Currency Transactions. Assets and liabilities of AHI's subsidiaries
operating outside the United States, which account in a functional currency
other than US dollars, are translated using the year end exchange rate. Revenues
and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates effective during the
year. Foreign currency translation gains or losses are included as a component
of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders' equity.
Gains or losses on foreign currency transactions are recognized through the
statement of earnings.

Financial Instruments and Derivatives. From time to time, AHI uses derivatives
and other financial instruments to diversify or offset the effect of currency,
interest rate and commodity price variability. See Note 19 for further
discussion.

Stock-based Employee Compensation. Effective December 31, 2002, AHI adopted SFAS
No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure,"
which requires the following disclosure. At December 31, 2002, AHI had three
stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note
25. AHI accounts for those plans under the intrinsic value recognition and
measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," and related Interpretations. The following table illustrates the
effect on net income and earnings per share if AHI had applied the fair value
recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based
Compensation," to stock-based employee compensation.

Accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies. Performance of the segments is
evaluated on operating income before income taxes, unusual gains and losses, and
interest expense. AHI accounts for intersegment sales and transfers based upon
its internal transfer pricing policy.

The 2002 decrease in the assets of the Wood Flooring segment is primarily due to
the $596.0 million ($593.8 million, net of tax) goodwill and intangible asset
impairment write down recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle as of January 1, 2002. See Note 12 for further details.

The 2002 increase in the assets of the Unallocated Corporate segment is
primarily due to the $869.7 million increase in the deferred tax asset primarily
created by the fourth quarter 2002 asbestos charge described in Notes 1 and 32.

NOTE 4. LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE
As a result of AWI's Chapter 11 filing (see Note 1), pursuant to SOP 90-7, AWI
is required to segregate prepetition liabilities that are subject to compromise
and report them separately on the balance sheet. Liabilities that may be
affected by a plan of reorganization are recorded at the amount of the expected
allowed claims, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. Substantially
all of AWI's prepetition debt, now in default, is recorded at face value and is
classified within liabilities subject to compromise. Obligations of AHI
subsidiaries not covered by the Filing remain classified on the consolidated
balance sheet based upon maturity date. AWI's asbestos liability is also
recorded in liabilities subject to compromise. During the fourth quarter of
2002, AWI recorded a non-cash charge of $2.5 billion to increase its estimate of
probable asbestos-related liability. See Note 1 for further discussion on how
the Chapter 11 process may address AWI's liabilities subject to compromise and
Note 32 for further discussion of AWI's asbestos liability.

Liabilities subject to compromise at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 are
as follows:

Additional prepetition claims (liabilities subject to compromise) may arise due
to the rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases, or as a result of
the allowance of contingent or disputed claims.

See Note 17 for detail of debt subject to compromise.

NOTE 5. ACQUISITIONS
During 2001, AHI spent $5.6 million to purchase some of the remaining minority
interest of already-consolidated entities within the Resilient Flooring segment.
Approximately $5.0 million of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill.

On May 18, 2000, AHI acquired privately-held Switzerland-based Gema Holding AG
("Gema"), a manufacturer and installer of metal ceilings, for $6 million plus
certain contingent consideration not to exceed $25.5 million, based on results
over the three year period ending December 31, 2002. The purchase agreement
requires that the former owners of Gema are advised of the probable contingent
consideration calculation within 30 days of the Gema's audited financial
statements being available. If the former owners do not accept such calculation
within 30 days, the contingent consideration calculation will be finally
determined by a third party.

The acquisition was recorded under the purchase method of accounting. The
purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed
based on the estimated fair market value at the date of acquisition. Contingent
consideration, when and if paid, will be accounted for as additional purchase
price. The fair market value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets
acquired exceeded the purchase price by $24.2 million and this amount was
recorded as a reduction of the fair value of property, plant and equipment.

NOTE 6. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In February 2001, AHI determined to permanently exit the Textiles and Sports
Flooring segment and on February 20, 2001 entered into negotiations to sell
substantially all of the businesses comprising this segment to a private equity
investor based in Europe. Based on these events, the segment was classified as a
discontinued operation starting with the fourth quarter of 2000. On June 12,
2001, negotiations with this investor were terminated. During the third quarter
of 2001, AHI terminated its plans to permanently exit this segment. This
decision was based on the difficulty encountered in selling the

                                       78

<PAGE>

business and a new review of the business, industry and overall economy
conducted by new senior management. Accordingly, this segment is no longer
classified as a discontinued operation and amounts have been reclassified into
operations as required by EITF Issue No. 90-16 - "Accounting for Discontinued
Operations Subsequently Retained". All prior periods have been reclassified to
conform to the current presentation.

Based on the expected net realizable value of the business determined during the
negotiations to sell the business, AHI had recorded a pretax net loss of $34.5
million in the fourth quarter of 2000, $23.8 million net of tax benefit. AHI
also had recorded an additional net loss of $3.3 million in the first quarter of
2001, as a result of price adjustments resulting from the negotiations.
Concurrent with the decision to no longer classify the business as a
discontinued operation, the remaining accrued loss of $37.8 million ($27.1
million net of tax) was reversed in the third quarter of 2001 and recorded as
part of earnings from discontinued operations. Additionally, the segment's net
income of $3.1 million for the first and second quarter of 2001 was reclassified
into earnings from continuing operations for those periods.

During the third quarter of 2001, AHI concluded there were indicators of
impairment related to certain assets in this segment, and accordingly, an
impairment evaluation was conducted at the end of the third quarter under the
guidelines of SFAS No. 121 - "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". This evaluation led to an
impairment charge of $8.4 million, representing the excess of book value over
estimated fair value which was determined using a net discounted cash flows
approach. The charge was included in cost of sales. The impairment was related
to property, plant and equipment that produce certain products for which AHI
anticipates lower demand in the future. Additionally, an inventory write-down of
$2.1 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2001 within cost of sales
related to certain products that will no longer be sold.

On May 31, 2000, Armstrong completed its sale of all of the entities, assets and
certain liabilities comprising its Insulation Products segment to Orion
Einundvierzigste Beteiligungsgesellschaft Mbh, a subsidiary of the Dutch
investment firm Gilde Investment Management N.V. for $264 million. The
transaction resulted in an after tax gain of $114.8 million, or $2.86 per share
in 2000. During 2001, AHI recorded a pretax loss of $1.1 million related to its
divestiture of its Insulation Products segment. This loss resulted from certain
post-closing adjustments.

NOTE 7. OTHER DIVESTITURES
In November 2000, Armstrong sold a component of its Textiles and Sports Flooring
segment. As this divestiture included a business classified as held for sale
since its 1998 acquisition, Armstrong had been recording the 2000 operating
losses of this business within SG&A expense. The overall 2000 impact was a
reduction of SG&A expense of $0.7 million.

On July 31, 2000, AHI completed the sale of its Installation Products Group
("IPG") to subsidiaries of the German company Ardex GmbH, for $86 million in
cash. Ardex purchased substantially all of the assets and liabilities of IPG
including its shares of the W.W. Henry Company. The transaction resulted in a
gain of $44.1 million ($60.2 million pretax) or $1.10 per share and was recorded
in other non-operating income during the third quarter 2000. The financial
results of IPG were reported as part of the Resilient Flooring segment. The
proceeds and gain are subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment.
Under the terms of a supply agreement, AHI will purchase some of its
installation product needs from Ardex for an initial term of eight years,
subject to certain minimums for the first five years after the sale. The supply
agreement also called for price adjustments based upon changing market prices
for raw materials, labor and energy costs. During February 2003, Armstrong and
Ardex reached a settlement in principle on several open issues, which must be
approved by the Court. The settlement allowed for the payment of the
pre-petition liability to Ardex with a discount, adjusted the pricing for
Armstrong's adhesives purchases, eliminated the minimum purchase requirement and
resolved environmental remediation disputes. Under the settlement, Ardex will
file a proof of claim related to environmental remediation in AWI's Chapter 11
Case, which will be treated as an allowed unsecured claim. This claim resulted
in a fourth quarter 2002 charge of $5.3 million, which was recorded in other
non-operating expense.

Generally, AHI sells its products to select, pre-approved customers whose
businesses are affected by changes in economic and market conditions. AHI
considers these factors and the financial condition of each customer when
establishing its allowance for losses from doubtful accounts.

NOTE 9. INVENTORIES
Approximately 42% of AHI's total inventory in 2002 and 2001 was valued on a LIFO
(last-in, first-out) basis. Inventory values were lower than would have been
reported on a total FIFO (first-in, first-out) basis, by $52.6 million at the
end of 2002 and $46.2 million at year-end 2001.

NOTE 11. EQUITY INVESTMENTS
Investments in affiliates were $43.9 million at December 31, 2002, an increase
of $4.3 million, primarily reflecting the equity earnings of AHI's 50% interest
in its WAVE joint venture and its remaining 35% interest in Interface Solutions,
Inc. ("ISI"). AHI continues to purchase certain raw materials from ISI under a
long-term supply agreement. Equity earnings from affiliates for 2002, 2001 and
2000 consisted primarily of income from a 50% interest in the WAVE joint venture
and the 35% interest in ISI.

AHI purchases some grid products from WAVE, its 50%-owned joint venture with
Worthington Industries. The total amount of these purchases was approximately
$41 million, $38 million and $41 million for the years ended December 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000, respectively. AHI also provides certain selling and
administrative processing services to WAVE for which it receives reimbursement.
Additionally, WAVE leases certain land and buildings from AHI.

NOTE 12.  GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Effective January 1, 2002, AHI adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" ("FAS 142"), which requires that goodwill and intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be
tested for impairment at least annually. FAS 142 also requires that intangible
assets with determinable useful lives be amortized over their respective
estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and reviewed for
impairment.

As of January 1, 2002, AHI had unamortized goodwill of $822.8 million, of which
$717.2 million was attributable to the Wood Flooring segment. In the second
quarter of 2002, AHI completed the assessment of goodwill and recorded a $590.0
million non-cash transitional impairment charge related to the Wood Flooring
segment. The impairment charge is presented in the income statement as a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2002. The
impairment charge arose from the Wood Flooring segment's fair value being lower
than its carrying value. The Wood Flooring segment's fair value was determined
using a combination of discounted cash flows, values implicit in precedent
business combinations of similar companies in the building products industry and
stock market multiples of publicly-traded flooring companies. The fair value was
negatively affected by lower operating profits and cash flows than were assumed
at the time of the acquisition in 1998. The shortfalls were caused by a
combination of lower sales plus higher manufacturing costs. Under previous
accounting rules, no goodwill impairment would have been recorded at January 1,
2002.

In the fourth quarter of 2002, AHI completed its annual assessment of goodwill
as required by FAS 142 and determined there was no impairment.

The following table represents the changes in goodwill since December 31, 2001.

As of January 1, 2002, AHI had unamortized identifiable intangible assets of
$94.1 million. It was determined that the fair value of one of Wood Flooring's
trademarks was lower than its carrying value. The fair value of the trademark
was estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. Accordingly, a non-cash
transitional impairment charge of $6.0 million ($3.8 million, net of tax) was
calculated and is presented in the income statement as a cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2002.

The following table details amounts related to AHI's intangible assets as of

</TABLE>

A $0.5 million restructuring charge was recorded in the first quarter of 2002.
The charge related to severance benefits for eleven employees in the Textiles
and Sports Flooring segment, to reflect staffing needs for current business
conditions and continued efforts initiated in the fourth quarter of 2001.

A $2.2 million restructuring charge was recorded in the second quarter of 2002.
The charge primarily related to severance benefits for approximately 120
employees in the European Resilient Flooring business due to a slow European
economy and a consolidation of worldwide research and development activities. Of
the $2.2 million, $0.4 million represented a non-cash charge for enhanced
retirement benefits, which is accounted for as an increase to pension benefit
liabilities.

In the third quarter of 2002, $0.6 million of the remaining accrual related to
the first quarter 2002 and fourth quarter 2001 charges in the Textiles and
Sports Flooring segment was reversed, comprising certain severance accruals that
were no longer necessary. In the fourth quarter of 2002, an additional $0.2
million of this same accrual was reversed.

A $5.4 million pre-tax restructuring charge was recorded in the first quarter of
2001. The charge related to severance and enhanced retirement benefits for more
than 50 corporate and line-of-business salaried staff positions, as a result of
streamlining the organization, to reflect staffing needs for current business
conditions. Of the $5.4 million, $1.6 million represented a non-cash charge for
enhanced retirement benefits, which is accounted for as a reduction of the
prepaid pension asset.

In the second quarter of 2001, a $1.1 million reversal was recorded related to a
formerly occupied building for which AHI no longer believes it will incur any
additional costs. In addition, $0.2 million of the remaining accrual for the
first quarter 2001 reorganization was reversed, comprising certain severance
accruals that were no longer necessary as certain individuals remained employed
by AHI.

In the third quarter of 2001, a $1.4 million reversal was recorded related to
certain 2000 severance and benefit accruals that were no longer necessary and a
$0.3 million pre-tax charge was recorded for additional severance payments.

A $6.1 million pre-tax restructuring charge was recorded in the fourth quarter
of 2001. $5.2 million of the charge, which was allocated between Wood Flooring
and Cabinets, related to severance and enhanced retirement benefits for six
salaried employees (including the former Chief Operating Officer), as a result
of the on-going integration of the wood flooring and resilient flooring
operations. Of the $5.2 million, $0.5 million represented non-cash charges for
enhanced retirement benefits, which is accounted for as a reduction of the
prepaid pension asset, and accelerated vesting of restricted stock awards. The
remaining $0.9 million of the $6.1 million charge related to severance benefits
for more than twenty positions in the textiles and sports flooring business, as
a result of streamlining the organization. Also in the fourth quarter of 2001, a
$0.1 million reversal was recorded related to certain severance and benefit
accruals that were no longer necessary.

The amount in "other" in 2002 is related to foreign currency translation. The
amount in "other" in 2001 is primarily related to the termination of an
operating lease for an office facility in the U.S. These lease costs were
previously accrued in the third quarter of 2000 as part of the restructuring
charge when the decision to vacate the premises was made. The lease was rejected
as part of the Chapter 11 process. Accordingly, the $5.9 million reversal is
recorded as a reduction of Chapter 11 reorganization costs in

                                       84

accordance with SOP 90-7. See Note 1 for further discussion. The remaining
amount in "other" is related to foreign currency translation.

Substantially all of the remaining balance of the restructuring accrual as of
December 31, 2002 relates to a noncancelable-operating lease, which extends
through 2017, and severance for terminated employees with extended payouts, the
majority of which will be paid by the second quarter of 2003.

NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES

The tax effects of principal temporary differences between the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities and their tax bases are summarized in the table below.
Management believes it is more likely than not that the results of future
operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize deferred tax
assets, except for certain foreign tax credit, net operating loss carryforwards
and other basis adjustments for which AHI has provided a valuation allowance of
$228.8 million. The $4.9 million of U.S. foreign tax credits will expire in
2005. AHI has $1,864.0 million of state net operating losses with expirations
between 2003 and 2022, and $187.9 million of foreign net operating losses, which
will be carried forward indefinitely. The valuation allowance increased by $47.9
million primarily due to additional foreign and state net operating losses and
other basis adjustments.

At December 31, 2002, unremitted earnings of subsidiaries outside the U.S. were
$244.5 million (at December 31, 2002 balance sheet exchange rates). AHI expects
to repatriate $77.0 million of earnings for which $27.0 million of U.S. taxes
were provided in 2000. No U.S. taxes have been provided on the remaining
unremitted earnings as it is AHI's intention to invest these earnings
permanently. If such earnings were to be remitted without offsetting tax credits
in the U.S., withholding taxes would be $4.5 million. The 2002 tax provision
includes benefits from the completion of various domestic and foreign tax
examinations. The 2001 tax provision reflects the reversal of certain state tax
and other accruals no longer required due to the completion of state tax audits
and/or expiration of statues of limitation partially offset by certain
nondeductible expenses.

On November 1, 2002, the Court announced it had approved AWI's motion to reduce
the amount of its DIP Facility from $200 million to $75 million, eliminate the
revolving credit borrowing feature, retain the letter of credit issuance
facility and extend the maturity date to December 8, 2003. Obligations under the
DIP Facility to reimburse drawing upon the letters of credit constitute a
superpriority administrative expense claim in the Chapter 11 Case. As of
December 31, 2002 and 2001, AWI had approximately $28.7 million and $8.4
million, respectively, in letters of credit which were issued pursuant to the
DIP Facility.

Other debt includes an $18.6 million zero-coupon note due in 2013 that was fully
amortized to its face value due to the Chapter 11 filing.

In addition, AHI's foreign subsidiaries have approximately $45.2 million of
unused short-term lines of credit available from banks. The credit lines are
subject to immaterial annual commitment fees.

NOTE 18. PENSION AND OTHER BENEFIT PROGRAMS
Armstrong and a number of its subsidiaries have pension plans and postretirement
medical and insurance benefit plans covering eligible employees worldwide.
Armstrong also has defined-contribution pension plans (including the Retirement
Savings and Stock Ownership Plan, as described in Note 24) for eligible
employees. Benefits from pension plans, which cover substantially all employees
worldwide, are based on an employee's compensation and years of service. When
necessary, pension plans are funded by Armstrong. Postretirement benefits are
funded by Armstrong on a pay-as-you-go basis, with the retiree paying a portion
of the cost for health care benefits by means of deductibles and contributions.
Armstrong announced in 1989 and 1990 a 15-year phase-out of its health care
benefits for certain future retirees. These future retirees include parent
company nonunion employees and some union employees. Shares of RSSOP common
stock were allocated to eligible active employees through June 2000, based on
employee age and years to expected retirement, to help employees offset their
future postretirement medical costs. The RSSOP was amended in November 2000 to
suspend future allocations and in December 2000, Armstrong used cash to fund
this benefit. In 2001, an equity share allocation was made to all eligible
active full-time employees as of July 26, 2001. The allocation was made as a
result of Armstrong's forgiveness of loans receivable from the RSSOP.

Effective November 1, 2000, an amendment to the Retirement Income Plan (RIP), a
qualified U.S. defined benefit plan, established an additional benefit known as
the ESOP Pension Account to partially compensate active employee and retiree
ESOP participants for the decline in the market value of AHI's stock. The effect
of this amendment had no material impact to the financial position or results of
operations in 2000, but increased the benefit obligation by $92.2 million and
decreased the pension credit by $11.7 million in 2001. The RIP document was
revised to reflect these changes.

The following tables summarize the balance sheet impact, as well as the benefit
obligations, assets, funded status and rate assumptions associated with the
pension and postretirement benefit plans. The plan assets are primarily stocks,
mutual funds and bonds. Included in these assets were 1,426,751 shares of AHI
common stock at year-end 2002 and 2001. The pension benefits disclosures include
both the RIP and the Retirement Benefit Equity Plan, which is a nonqualified,
unfunded plan designed to provide pension benefits in excess of the limits
defined under Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The fair value estimates of long-term debt were based upon quotes from major
financial institutions taking into consideration current rates offered to AHI
for debt of the same remaining maturities. The fair value estimates of foreign
currency contract obligations are estimated from national exchange quotes. The
fair value estimates of natural gas contracts are estimated by obtaining quotes
from major financial institutions and energy companies.

AHI utilizes lines of credit and other commercial commitments in order to ensure
that adequate funds are available to meet operating requirements. On December
31, 2002, AHI's foreign subsidiaries had available lines of credit totaling
$51.1 million, of which $5.9 million was used, leaving $45.2 million of unused
lines of credit for borrowing on December 31, 2002.

On December 31, 2002, AHI had outstanding letters of credit totaling $59.6
million, of which $28.7 million was issued under the DIP Facility. The DIP
Facility had $46.3 million that remained available for issuance of letters of
credit as of December 31, 2002. Letters of credit are issued to third party
suppliers, insurance and financial institutions and can only be drawn upon in
the event of AHI's failure to pay its obligations to the beneficiary. Standby
letters of credit are currently arranged through AWI's DIP Facility with JP
Morgan Chase. Certain standby letters of credit arranged with Wachovia and Bank
of America prior to the Filing have been extended to their respective expiration
dates.

NOTE 20. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
AHI is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates,
interest rates and commodity prices that could impact its results of operations
and financial condition. AHI uses financial instruments, including fixed and
variable rate debt, as well as swap, forward and option contracts to finance its
operations and to hedge interest rate, currency and commodity exposures. AHI
regularly monitors developments in the capital markets and only enters into
currency and swap transactions with established counter-parties having
investment grade ratings. Exposure to individual counterparties is controlled,
and thus Armstrong considers the risk of counterparty default to be negligible.
Swap, forward and option contracts are entered into for periods consistent with
underlying exposure and do not constitute positions independent of those
exposures. AHI uses derivative financial instruments as risk management tools
and not for speculative trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial
instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial
institutions and energy companies in order to manage Armstrong's exposure to
nonperformance on such instruments.

Interest Rate Risk - Due to AWI's Chapter 11 Filing, all affected debt was
classified as liabilities subject to compromise and there were no open interest
rate derivatives as of December 31, 2002 and 2001.

                                       93

<PAGE>

Currency Rate Risk - AHI manufactures and sells its products in a number of
countries throughout the world and, as a result, is exposed to movements in
foreign currency exchange rates. To a large extent, AHI's global manufacturing
and sales provide a natural hedge of foreign currency exchange rate movement, as
foreign currency expenses generally offset foreign currency revenues. At
December 31, 2002, AHI's major foreign currency exposures are to the Canadian
dollar, the Euro and the British pound.

AHI has used foreign currency forward exchange contracts and purchased options
to reduce its exposure to the risk that the eventual net cash inflows and
outflows, resulting from the sale of product to foreign customers and purchases
from foreign suppliers, will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates.
These derivative instruments are used for forecasted transactions and are
classified as cash flow hedges. These transactions allow AHI to further reduce
its overall exposure to exchange rate movements, since the gains and losses on
these contracts offset losses and gains on the transactions being hedged. Gains
and losses on these instruments are deferred in other comprehensive income until
the underlying transaction is recognized in earnings. The net fair value of
these instruments at December 31, 2002 was an asset of $1.7 million, all of
which is expected to be charged to earnings in the next twelve months. The
earnings impact is reported in either net sales or cost of goods sold to match
the underlying transaction being hedged. The earnings impact of these hedges was
not material during 2002.

AHI also uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge exposures
created by cross-currency inter-company loans. The underlying inter-company
loans are classified as short-term and translation adjustments related to these
loans are recorded in other income. The related derivative contracts are
classified as fair value hedges and the offsetting gains and losses on these
contracts are also recorded in other income. The fair value of these instruments
at December 31, 2002 was a $6.3 million liability, all of which is expected to
be charged to earnings in the next twelve months. During 2002, the net earnings
impact of these hedges was $0.3 million, recorded in other income, which was
comprised of a loss of approximately $27.7 million from the foreign currency
forward exchange contracts substantially offset by the 2002 translation
adjustment of approximately $28.0 million for the underlying inter-company
loans.

Commodity Price Risk - AHI purchases natural gas for use in the manufacture of
ceiling tiles and other products and to heat many of its facilities. As a
result, AHI is exposed to movements in the price of natural gas. AHI has a
policy of minimizing cost volatility by purchasing natural gas forward
contracts, purchased call options, and zero-cash collars. These instruments are
designated as cash flow hedges. The mark-to-market gain or loss on qualifying
hedges is included in other comprehensive income to the extent effective, and
reclassified into cost of goods sold in the period during which the underlying
products are sold. The mark-to-market gains or losses on ineffective portions of
hedges are recognized in cost of goods sold immediately. The fair value of these
instruments at December 31, 2002 was a $3.9 million asset, of which $3.3 million
is expected to be charged to earnings in the next twelve months. The earnings
impact of hedges that matured during 2002, recorded in cost of goods sold, was a
$2.4 million expense. The earnings impact of the ineffective portion of these
hedges was not material during 2002.

NOTE 21. GUARANTEES
As of December 31, 2002, Armstrong maintained agreements with the lending
institutions of several of its distributors. Under these agreements, if a
distributor were to default on its borrowings and the lender foreclosed on the
assets, the bank could return a large part of any Armstrong product still at the
distributor (subject to certain quality and roll size minimums) for a refund of
original cost. The last agreement will expire in February 2004. At December 31,
2002, the amount of inventory held at these distributors was less than $8.0
million. No claim has been made under any of these agreements and AHI does not
anticipate any such claims in the future. As such, no liability has been
recorded for these agreements.

In disposing of assets through mid 2000, AWI and some subsidiaries had entered
into contracts that included various indemnity provisions, covering such matters
as taxes, environmental liabilities and asbestos and other litigation. Some of
these contracts had exposure limits, but many did not. Due to the

                                       94

<PAGE>

nature of the indemnities, there is no way to estimate the potential maximum
exposure under these contracts. As a debtor-in-possession, for those contracts
that are still executory where AWI was the sole guarantor, AWI anticipates
rejecting those contracts effective the date of Filing. Parties having claims
under those contracts could have filed claims in AWI's Chapter 11 Case, which
will be dealt with as part of the Case. AWI cannot estimate the value of any
potential claims that will ultimately be allowed by the Court. See Note 1
regarding Proceedings under Chapter 11.

Subsidiaries that are not part of the Chapter 11 Filing also entered into
certain contracts that included various indemnity provisions similar to those
described above. Since these subsidiaries are not part of the Chapter 11 filing,
these contracts continue to be in effect. Some of these contracts had exposure
limits, but many did not. Due to the nature of the indemnities, there is no way
to estimate the potential maximum exposure under all these contracts. For
contracts under which an indemnity claim has been received, a liability of $1.4
million has been recorded as of December 31, 2002. See Note 32 regarding
Litigation for additional information.

In September 1999, Armstrong sold its Textiles Products operations. As part of
the divestiture agreement, Armstrong transferred certain liabilities and assets
to the purchaser to cover pension payments earned by the workforce as of the
sale date. Armstrong also will reimburse the purchaser for such pension payments
that are not covered by the pension assets. In addition, Armstrong also agreed
to reimburse the purchaser for the tax impact of Armstrong's reimbursement of
the pension payments. This agreement has no termination date. As of December 31,
2002, Armstrong maintained a $1.2 million liability for this guarantee and the
maximum payments could be approximately $2.6 million, excluding any amounts paid
for tax reimbursement.

See Notes 4 and 24 for a discussion of the ESOP loan guarantee.

NOTE 22. PRODUCT WARRANTIES
AHI provides direct customer and end-user warranties for its products. These
warranties cover manufacturing defects that would prevent the product from
performing in line with its intended and marketed use. Generally, the terms of
these warranties range up to 25 years and provide for the repair or replacement
of the defective product. AHI collects and analyzes warranty claims data with a
focus on the historic amount of claims, the products involved, the amount of
time between the warranty claims and their respective sales and the amount of
current sales. The following table illustrates the activity for product
warranties for 2002:

NOTE 24. RETIREMENT SAVINGS AND STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (RSSOP)
In 1989, Armstrong established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") that
borrowed $270 million from banks and insurance companies, repayable over 15
years and guaranteed by AWI. The ESOP used the proceeds to purchase 5,654,450
shares of a new series of convertible preferred stock issued by Armstrong. In
1996, the ESOP was merged with the Retirement Savings Plan for salaried
employees (a defined-contribution pension plan) to form the Retirement Savings
and Stock Ownership Plan ("RSSOP"). On July 31, 1996, the trustee of the ESOP
converted the preferred stock held by the trust into approximately 5.1 million
shares of common stock at a one-for-one ratio.

The number of shares released for allocation to participant accounts has been
based on the proportion of principal and interest paid to the total amount of
debt service remaining to be paid over the life of the borrowings. Through
December 31, 2002, the RSSOP allocated 2,593,000 shares to participants that
remain outstanding, participants retired 1,831,000 shares, AHI contributed an
additional 437,000 shares from its treasury and the trustee purchased 243,000
shares on the open market to allocate to employees. As of December 31, 2002,
there were approximately 1,912,000 shares in the RSSOP that had yet to be
allocated to participants.

All RSSOP shares are considered outstanding for earnings per share calculations.
Historically, dividends on allocated shares were credited to employee accounts
while dividends on unallocated shares were used to satisfy debt service
payments.

AHI recorded costs for the RSSOP of $4.5 million in 2002, $3.5 million in 2001
and $10.5 million in 2000, which related to company contributions. During the
fourth quarter of 2000, AWI amended the RSSOP to provide for a cash match of
employee contributions in lieu of the stock match. AHI recorded an expense of
$4.5 million in 2002, $3.5 million in 2001 and $0.5 million in 2000 related to
the cash match.

See Note 32 for information regarding an audit by the Department of Labor.

The RSSOP currently covers parent company nonunion employees, some parent
company union employees, Wood Flooring salaried employees, and Cabinets salaried
employees.

                                                        =====

On November 22, 2000, AWI failed to repay $50 million in commercial paper that
was due. Subsequently, the remaining ESOP bond principal balance of $142.2
million became immediately payable along with a $15.5 million interest and tax
make-whole premium. ESOP debt service payments have not been made since June
2000. As a result of the Chapter 11 filing, AWI's guarantee of these ESOP loan
obligations of $157.7 million is now classified as a liability subject to
compromise.

The trustee borrowed from AWI $7.3 million in 2000 and $12.9 million in 1999.
These loans were made to ensure that the financial arrangements provided to
employees remained consistent with the original intent of the RSSOP. Such loans
receivable were included as a component of shareholders' equity. In December
2000, in connection with the Chapter 11 Filing of AWI and default on RSSOP loan
obligations, AHI recorded an impairment charge of $43.3 million related to these
loans receivable in view of the fact that the only asset of the RSSOP consisted
of the stock of AHI which had diminished substantially in value. The impairment
was recorded as a component of Chapter 11 reorganization costs. In July 2001,
the Court in AWI's Chapter 11 Case authorized the Board of Directors of
Armstrong to forgive the entire amount of all principal and interest on
outstanding loans to the RSSOP.

NOTE 25. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
Awards under the 1993 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan ("1993 Plan") were made in
the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights in conjunction with stock
options, performance restricted shares and restricted stock awards. No
additional awards may be issued under the 1993 Plan.

During 1999, AHI adopted the 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("1999 Plan") which
replaced the 1993 Plan. The 1999 Plan is similar to the 1993 Plan in that it
provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock
options, stock appreciation rights, performance-restricted shares and restricted
stock awards. The 1999 Plan also incorporates stock awards and cash incentive
awards. No more than 3,250,000 shares of common stock may be issued under the
1999 Plan, and no more than 300,000 of the shares may be awarded in the form of
performance restricted shares, restricted stock awards or stock awards. The 1999
Plan does not allow awards to be granted after April 25, 2009. Pre-1999 grants
made under predecessor plans will be governed under the provisions of those
plans.

During 2000, AHI adopted the Stock Award Plan ("2000 Plan") to enable stock
awards and restricted stock awards to officers, key employees and non-employee
directors. No more than 750,000 treasury shares may be awarded under the 2000
Plan. The 2000 Plan will remain in effect until the earlier of the grant of all
the shares allowed under the plan or termination of the plan by the Board of
Directors.

All of the three plans discussed above will be terminated upon the effective
date of AWI's plan of reorganization.

Approximately 1,702,000 stock options were cancelled as a result of a restricted
stock for stock option exchange program offered to employees in 2000. Employees
other than the CEO holding stock options were given a one-time opportunity to
exchange their stock options with exercise prices above $50 per share for shares
of AHI restricted stock based on specified conversion ratios. The shares issued
under this exchange program were issued under the 2000 Plan and were fully
vested by August 2002. Expenses related to this event were $0.1 million in 2002,
$0.7 million in 2001 and $1.5 million in 2000.

Options are granted to purchase shares at prices not less than the closing
market price of the shares on the dates the options are granted. The options
generally become exercisable in one to three years and expire 10 years from the
date of grant.

</TABLE>

Performance restricted shares issuable under the 1993 and 1999 plans entitle
certain key executive employees to earn shares of AHI's common stock, but only
if the total company or individual business units meet certain predetermined
performance measures during defined performance periods (generally three years).
At the end of performance periods, common stock awarded may carry additional
restriction periods, during which time AHI will hold the shares in custody until
the expiration or termination of restrictions. Compensation expense is charged
to earnings over the performance period. There were no shares of performance
restricted common stock outstanding at December 31, 2002.

Restricted stock awards can be used for the purposes of recruitment, special
recognition and retention of key employees. No award of restricted stock shares
was granted in 2002. At the end of 2002, there were 143,433 restricted shares of
common stock outstanding with 2,613 accumulated dividend equivalent shares.

SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," permits entities to
continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net
earnings and pro forma earnings per share disclosures. Had compensation costs
for these plans been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, AHI's net earnings
and earnings per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma
amounts.

increased medical benefit costs.

NOTE 27. LEASES
AHI rents certain real estate and equipment. Several leases include options for
renewal or purchase, and contain clauses for payment of real estate taxes and
insurance. In most cases, management expects that in the normal course of
business, leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases. As part of the
Chapter 11 Case, AWI must decide whether to assume, assume and assign, or reject
prepetition unexpired leases and other prepetition executory contracts. AWI has
been granted an extension until July 15, 2003 by the Court to make these
decisions with respect to prepetition unexpired leases of real property and this
date may be further extended. With respect to prepetition executory contracts
and unexpired leases not related to real estate, AWI has until confirmation of a
reorganization plan to make these decisions unless such time is shortened by the
Court. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustment
related to assumption or rejection of such agreements.

Rental expense was $20.5 million in 2002, $19.1 million in 2001 and $21.5
million in 2000. Future minimum payments at December 31, 2002, by year and in
the aggregate, having noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year were as
follows:

NOTE 31. RELATED PARTIES
Armstrong sold 65% of its ownership in its gasket products subsidiary, (now
known as Interface Solutions, Inc. or "ISI") on June 30, 1999. Armstrong still
retains 35% ownership of this business as of December 31, 2002. As part of the
divestiture, Armstrong agreed to continue to purchase a portion of the felt
products used in the manufacturing of resilient flooring from ISI for an initial
term of eight years. Currently, Armstrong is required to purchase at least 75%
of its felt requirements from ISI. The sale agreement also stipulated quarterly
felt price adjustments that are based upon changing market prices for the felt.
In October 2002, the agreement was amended to include a cap on increases for
2003 and 2004. Armstrong can purchase felt products from another supplier if
ISI's prices are more than 10% higher than another supplier's prices. Armstrong
and ISI are required to cooperate in product reformulation and new product
development, but Armstrong is free to seek alternatives to felt products.
Additionally, Armstrong receives nominal monthly payments from ISI for some
logistics and administrative services. ISI had filed a proof of claim in
Armstrong's Chapter 11 Case requesting payment for Armstrong's prepetition
obligations. This matter was settled in November 2002 with Armstrong receiving a
net payment of $0.2 million, with the Bankruptcy Court's approval.

NOTE 32. LITIGATION AND RELATED MATTERS
ASBESTOS-RELATED LITIGATION
AWI is a defendant in personal injury cases and property damage cases related to
asbestos containing products. On December 6, 2000, AWI filed a voluntary
petition for relief ("the Filing") under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
to use the court supervised reorganization process to achieve a final resolution
of its asbestos liability.

Asbestos-Related Personal Injury Claims
Prior to filing for relief under the Bankruptcy Code, AWI was a member of the
Center for Claims Resolution (the "Center") which handled the defense and
settlement of asbestos-related personal injury claims on behalf of its members.
The Center pursued broad-based settlements of asbestos-related personal injury
claims under the Strategic Settlement Program ("SSP") and had reached agreements
with law firms that covered approximately 130,000 claims that named AWI as a
defendant.

Due to the Filing, holders of asbestos-related personal injury claims are stayed
from continuing to prosecute pending litigation and from commencing new lawsuits
against AWI. In addition, AWI ceased making payments to the Center with respect
to asbestos-related personal injury claims, including payments pursuant to the
outstanding SSP agreements. AWI's obligations with respect to payments called
for under these settlements will be determined in its Chapter 11 Case.

A creditors' committee representing the interests of asbestos personal injury
claimants and an individual has been appointed to represent the interests of
future personal injury claimants in the Chapter 11 Case. AWI's present and
future asbestos liability will be addressed in its Chapter 11 Case rather than
through the Center and a multitude of lawsuits in different jurisdictions
throughout the U.S. It is anticipated that all of AWI's current and future
asbestos-related personal injury claims will be resolved in the Chapter 11 Case.

Asbestos-Related Personal Injury Liability
In evaluating its potential asbestos-related personal injury liability prior to
the Filing, AWI reviewed information provided by the Center including, among
other things, recent and historical settlement amounts, the incidence of past
and recent claims, the mix of the injuries of the plaintiffs, the number of
cases pending against it and the status and results of broad-based settlement
discussions. Based on this review, AWI developed an estimated range for its cost
to defend and resolve asbestos-related personal injury claims for six years,
through 2006. This estimated range was large due to the limitations of the
available data and the difficulty of forecasting with any certainty the numerous
variables that could have affected AWI's actual liability for this period. AWI
concluded that no amount within the range was more likely than any other, and
therefore reflected the low end of the range as the liability in the
consolidated financial statements, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.

It is expected that the Chapter 11 process will deal with all current and future
asbestos-related personal injury claims against AWI. There are significant
differences between the way the asbestos-related personal injury claims may be
addressed under the bankruptcy process and the historical way AWI's claims were
resolved. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion on how the Chapter 11 process may address AWI's asbestos-related
personal injury claims.

As of September 30, 2000, AWI had recorded a liability of $758.8 million for its
asbestos-related personal injury liability that it determined was probable and
estimable through 2006. Due to the increased uncertainty created as a result of
the Filing, the only change made to the previously recorded liability through
the third quarter of 2002 was to record October and November 2000 payments of
$68.2 million against the accrual. The asbestos-related personal injury
liability balance recorded at December 31, 2001 was $690.6 million, which was
recorded in liabilities subject to compromise.

                                      102

<PAGE>

As discussed previously, AWI filed an initial POR and disclosure statement with
respect to the POR during the fourth quarter of 2002. In March 2003, AWI filed
an amended POR and disclosure statement. The POR represents the product of
negotiations with and is supported by the Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants'
Committee, the Unsecured Creditors' Committee and the Future Claimants'
Representative. Based upon the foregoing, the discussions AWI has had with
representatives of such entities within the last several months and the hearings
held before the Court in the last several months, management now believes that
it is reasonably likely that the claims addressed in the POR will be satisfied
substantially in the manner set forth in the POR. As a result, AWI has concluded
that it can reasonably estimate its probable liability for asbestos-related
current and future personal injury claims. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of
2002, AWI recorded a $2.5 billion charge to increase the liability. The
asbestos-related liability of approximately $3.2 billion at December 31, 2002,
which was treated as subject to compromise, represents the estimated amount of
liability that is implied based upon the negotiated resolution reflected in the
POR, the total consideration expected to be paid to the Asbestos PI Trust
pursuant to the POR and a recovery value percentage for the allowed claims of
the Asbestos PI Trust that is equal to the estimated recovery value percentage
for the allowed non-asbestos unsecured claims. Pursuant to the POR, all current
and future asbestos-related personal injury claims will be channeled to the
Asbestos PI Trust for resolution and, upon emergence from Chapter 11,
reorganized AWI will not have any responsibility for the claims or participate
in their resolution.

AWI is unable to predict when and if this POR will be confirmed. Therefore, the
timing and terms of resolution of the Chapter 11 Case remain uncertain. As long
as this uncertainty exists, future changes to the recorded liability are
possible and could be material to AWI's financial position and the results of
its operations. Management will continue to review the recorded liability in
light of future developments in the Chapter 11 Case and make changes to the
recorded liability if and when it is appropriate.

The $2.5 billion, fourth quarter 2002, charge to increase the asbestos-related
personal injury liability is before recognition of gains from the settlement of
liabilities subject to compromise, which will arise at a later date as a
consequence of the Chapter 11 process.

Collateral Requirements
During 2000, AWI had secured a bond for $56.2 million to meet minimum collateral
requirements established by the Center with respect to asbestos-related personal
injury claims asserted against AWI. On October 27, 2000, the insurance company
that underwrote the surety bond informed AWI and the Center of its intention not
to renew the surety bond effective February 28, 2001. On February 6, 2001, the
Center advised the surety of the Center's demand for payment of the face value
of the bond. The surety filed a motion with the Court seeking to restrain the
Center from drawing on the bond. The motion was not granted. On March 28, 2001,
the surety filed an amended complaint in the Court seeking similar relief. The
Center has filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Court has not
yet ruled on the Center's motion or the complaint. In addition, on April 27,
2001, AWI filed a complaint and a motion with the Court seeking an order, among
other things, enjoining the Center from drawing on the bond or, in the event the
Center is permitted to draw on the bond, requiring that the proceeds of any such
draw be deposited into a Court-approved account subject to further order of the
Court. Judge Alfred M. Wolin of the Federal District Court for the District of
New Jersey, who is also presiding over AWI's Chapter 11 Case, indicated he would
determine these matters. Judge Wolin has not yet ruled on these matters.

Asbestos-Related property Damage Litigation
Over the years, AWI was one of many defendants in asbestos-related property
damage claims that were filed by public and private building owners, with six
claims pending as of June 30, 2001. The claims that were resolved prior to the
Filing resulted in aggregate indemnity obligations of less than $10 million. To
date, all payments of these obligations have been entirely covered by insurance.
The pending cases present allegations of damage to the plaintiffs' buildings
caused by asbestos-containing products and generally seek compensatory and
punitive damages and equitable relief, including reimbursement of expenditures
for removal and replacement of such products. In the second quarter of 2000, AWI
was served with a lawsuit seeking class certification of Texas residents who own
property with asbestos-containing products. This case includes allegations that
AWI asbestos-containing products caused

                                      103

<PAGE>

damage to buildings and generally seeks compensatory damages and equitable
relief, including testing, reimbursement for removal and diminution of property
value. AWI vigorously denies the validity of the allegations against it in these
actions and, in any event, believes that any costs will be covered by insurance.

Continued prosecution of these actions and the commencement of any new asbestos
property damage actions are stayed due to the Filing. In March 2002, the Court
allowed certain alleged holders of asbestos property damage claims to file a
class proof of claim against AWI. In July 2002, the Court denied the
certification of the proposed class and held that the plaintiffs' proof of claim
shall only be effective as to the named claimants. The plaintiffs' motion for
leave to appeal to the U.S. District Court was denied by Judge Wolin on October
3, 2002. As part of determining whether AWI asbestos containing resilient floor
covering products give rise to property damage liability, the Court conducted an
initial hearing on September 26 - 27, 2002 to decide the type of scientific
testing allowable under the Federal Rules of Evidence to prove or disprove
whether such products cause building contamination. On October 22, 2002, the
Court granted AWI's requested relief and ruled that the methodology offered by
the Asbestos Property Damage Committee in support of its claims is not a
scientifically valid method of quantifying the level of asbestos contamination
in a building. On November 1, 2002, the Court directed that all property damage
claimants provide, in support of their claims, substantiation that Armstrong
flooring products were used in the claimants' buildings. The Court's deadline
for submission of such product identification documentation was February 10,
2003. Prior to the Court's deadline, AWI reached an agreement in principle to
settle approximately 360 property damage claims, which alleged damages of $0.2
billion, for $2 million. Any amounts to be paid are expected to be funded by
insurance. This settlement is subject to the Court's approval, which is
scheduled to be heard by the Court on April 4, 2003. Additionally, 130 property
damage claims have been disallowed or withdrawn. Approximately 100 property
damage claims totaling $0.6 billion will remain unresolved if the settlement is
approved. Only 26 of these 100 remaining property damage claims submitted
product identification by the February 10, 2003 deadline referred to above.

Consistent with prior periods and due to increased uncertainty, AWI has not
recorded any liability related to asbestos-related property damage claims as of
December 31, 2002. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for
further discussion of property damage claims in the Chapter 11 Case. A separate
creditors' committee representing the interests of property damage asbestos
claimants has been appointed in the Chapter 11 Case.

Insurance Recovery Proceedings
A substantial portion of AWI's primary and excess remaining insurance asset is
nonproducts (general liability) insurance for personal injury claims, including
among others, those that involve alleged exposure during AWI's installation of
asbestos insulation materials. AWI has entered into settlements with a number of
the carriers resolving its coverage issues. However, an alternative dispute
resolution ("ADR") procedure was commenced against certain carriers to determine
the percentage of resolved and unresolved claims that are nonproducts claims, to
establish the entitlement to such coverage and to determine whether and how much
reinstatement of prematurely exhausted products hazard insurance is warranted.
The nonproducts coverage potentially available is substantial and includes
defense costs in addition to limits.

During 1999, AWI received preliminary decisions in the initial phases of the
trial proceeding of the ADR, which were generally favorable to AWI on a number
of issues related to insurance coverage. However, during the first quarter of
2001, a new trial judge was selected for the ADR. The new trial judge conducted
hearings in 2001 and determined not to rehear matters decided by the previous
judge. In the first quarter of 2002, the new trial judge concluded the ADR trial
proceeding with findings in favor of AWI on substantially all key issues.
Liberty Mutual, the only insurer that is still a party to the ADR, has appealed
that final judgment. Appellate argument originally scheduled for October 2002
was adjourned and was held on March 11, 2003. In July 2002, AWI filed a lawsuit
against Liberty Mutual in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment with respect to
certain policy issues not subject to binding ADR.

                                      104

<PAGE>

One of the insurance carriers, Reliance Insurance Company, was placed under an
order of liquidation by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department during October
2001 due to financial difficulties. The order of liquidation prohibits Reliance
from making any claim payments under the insurance policies until the
liquidation occurs. AWI intends to file a proof of claim against Reliance by the
December 2003 deadline. It is uncertain when AWI will receive proceeds from
Reliance under these insurance policies.

Another insurer, Century Indemnity Company, who previously settled its coverage
issues with AWI, has made some of its required payments under the settlement to
a trust of which AWI is a beneficiary. During January 2002, this insurer filed
an adversary action in AWI's Chapter 11 Case. Among other things, the action
requests the Court to (1) declare that the settlement agreement is an executory
contract and to compel assumption or rejection of the agreement; (2) declare
that the insurer need not make its present and future scheduled payments unless
AWI assumes the agreement; (3) declare that the insurer is entitled to
indemnification from AWI against any liabilities that the insurer may incur in
certain unrelated litigation in which the insurer is involved; and (4) enjoin
the disposition of funds previously paid by the insurer to the trust pending an
adjudication of the insurer's rights. These issues are before the Court for
determination and AWI believes it is highly unlikely the insurer will prevail in
this matter.

On March 5, 2003, the New Hampshire Insurance Department placed The Home
Insurance Company ("Home") under an order of rehabilitation. Less than $10
million of AWI's recorded insurance asset is based on policies with Home, which
management believes is still probable of recovery.

Insurance Asset
An insurance asset in respect of asbestos personal injury claims in the amount
of $198.1 million is recorded as of December 31, 2002 compared to $214.1 million
as of December 31, 2001. Of the total recorded asset at December 31, 2002,
approximately $35.7 million represents partial settlement for previous claims
that will be paid in a fixed and determinable flow and is reported at its net
present value discounted at 6.50%. The total amount recorded reflects AWI's
belief in the availability of insurance in this amount, based upon AWI's success
in insurance recoveries, settlement agreements that provide such coverage, the
nonproducts recoveries by other companies and the opinion of outside counsel.
Such insurance is either available through settlement or probable of recovery
through negotiation, litigation or resolution of the ADR process. Depending on
further progress of the ADR, activities such as settlement discussions with
insurance carriers party to the ADR and those not party to the ADR, the final
determination of coverage shared with ACandS (the former AWI insulation
contracting subsidiary that was sold in August 1969 and which filed for relief
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in September 2002) and the financial
condition of the insurers, AWI may revise its estimate of probable insurance
recoveries. Approximately $80 million of the $198.1 million asset is determined
from agreed coverage in place and is therefore directly related to the amount of
the liability. Of the $198.1 million asset, $24.0 million has been recorded as a
current asset as of December 31, 2002 reflecting management's estimate of the
minimum insurance payments to be received in the next 12 months. As of February
2003, approximately $8.0 million of the $24.0 million current asset is past due
based on a previous settlement agreement. AWI believes collection of the full
amount is still probable and therefore has not established a reserve against
these receivables.

A significant part of the recorded asset relates to insurance that AWI believes
is probable and will be obtained through settlements with the various carriers.
Although AWI revised its recorded asbestos liability by $2.5 billion in the
fourth quarter of 2002, there was no increase recorded in the estimated
insurance recovery asset. While AWI believes that the process of resolving
disputed insurance coverage may result in higher settlement amounts than
recorded, there has been no increase in the recorded amounts due to the
uncertainties remaining in the process. Accordingly, this asset could change
significantly based upon resolution of the issues. Management estimates that the
timing of future cash payments for the recorded asset may extend beyond 10
years.

Cash Flow Impact
As a result of the Chapter 11 Filing, AWI did not make any payments for
asbestos-related claims in 2002 or 2001. AWI received $16.0 million and $32.2
million in asbestos-related insurance recoveries during 2002 and 2001,
respectively. During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case, AWI does not expect to

                                       105

<PAGE>

make any further cash payments for asbestos-related claims, but AWI expects to
continue to receive insurance proceeds under the terms of various settlement
agreements.

Conclusion
Based upon the events described above, management came to a belief that AWI's
asbestos-related liability will be settled substantially in the manner set forth
in the POR. As a result, AWI recorded a $2.5 billion charge to increase its
estimate of probable asbestos-related liability to approximately $3.2 billion at
December 31, 2002, which was treated as subject to compromise. The fourth
quarter charge was determined by calculating an implied liability based upon the
provisions of the POR and Disclosure Statement. However no change was made to
the estimated asbestos-related insurance recovery asset. Many uncertainties
continue to exist about the matters impacting AWI's asbestos-related liability
and insurance asset. These uncertainties include the impact of the Filing and
the Chapter 11 process, the number of future claims to be filed, the ultimate
value of the asbestos liability, the impact of any potential legislation, the
impact of the ADR proceedings on the insurance asset and the financial condition
of AWI's insurance carriers. Additionally, although a POR and Disclosure
Statement have been filed with the Court, implementation of the POR is subject
to confirmation of the POR in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code. AWI is unable to predict when and if the POR will be confirmed. Therefore,
the timing and terms of resolution of the Chapter 11 Case remain uncertain. As
long as this uncertainty exists, future changes to the recorded liability and
insurance asset are possible and could be material to AWI's financial position
and the results of its operations. Management will continue to review the
recorded liability and insurance asset in light of future developments in the
Chapter 11 Case and make changes to the recorded amounts if and when it is
appropriate.

Environmental Matters
Most of Armstrong's manufacturing and certain of Armstrong's research facilities
are affected by various federal, state and local environmental requirements
relating to the discharge of materials or the protection of the environment.
Armstrong has made, and intends to continue to make, necessary expenditures for
compliance with applicable environmental requirements at its operating
facilities. Armstrong incurred capital expenditures of approximately $4.5
million in 2002, $6.8 million in 2001 and $6.2 million in 2000 associated with
environmental compliance and control facilities. Armstrong anticipates that
annual expenditures for those purposes will not change materially from recent
experience. However, applicable environmental laws continue to change. As a
result of continuous changes in regulatory requirements, Armstrong cannot
predict with certainty future capital expenditures associated with compliance
with environmental requirements.

Armstrong is involved in proceedings under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("Superfund"), and similar state laws
at approximately 22 sites. In most cases, Armstrong is one of many potentially
responsible parties ("PRPs") which have potential liability for the required
investigation and remediation of each site, and which in some cases, have agreed
to jointly fund that required investigation and remediation. With regard to some
sites, however, Armstrong disputes the liability, the proposed remedy or the
proposed cost allocation among the PRPs. Armstrong may have rights of
contribution or reimbursement from other parties or coverage under applicable
insurance policies.

Armstrong has been remediating environmental contamination resulting from past
industrial activity at certain of its former plant sites. AWI's payments and
remediation work on such sites for which AWI is the potentially responsible
party is under review in light of the Chapter 11 Filing. The bar date for claims
from several environmental agencies has been extended into the first quarter of
2003.

Estimates of Armstrong's future environmental liability at the Superfund sites
and current or former plant sites are based on evaluations of currently
available facts regarding each individual site and consider factors such as
Armstrong's activities in conjunction with the site, existing technology,
presently enacted laws and regulations and prior company experience in
remediating contaminated sites. Although current law imposes joint and several
liability on all parties at Superfund sites, Armstrong's contribution to the
remediation of these sites is expected to be limited by the number of other
companies also identified as potentially liable for site remediation. As a
result, Armstrong's estimated liability reflects only Armstrong's

                                       106

<PAGE>

expected share. In determining the probability of contribution, Armstrong
considers the solvency of the parties, whether liability is being disputed, the
terms of any existing agreements and experience with similar matters. The
Chapter 11 Case also may affect the ultimate amount of such contributions.

AWI is subject to a unilateral order by the Oregon Department of Environmental
Quality ("DEQ") to conduct a remedial investigation and feasibility study and
any necessary remedial design and action at its St. Helens, Oregon facility, as
well as the adjacent Scappoose Bay. AWI has denied liability for the Scappoose
Bay, but has cooperated with the DEQ regarding its owned property. Other
potentially responsible parties who are not yet subject to orders by the DEQ
include former site owners Owens Corning ("OC") and Kaiser Gypsum Company, Inc.
OC has entered into a settlement with the DEQ. Pursuant to the settlement, OC
will make a lump sum payment to the DEQ in exchange for contribution protection
(including protection against common law and statutory contribution claims by
AWI against OC) and a covenant not to sue. AWI has negotiated with the DEQ how
these funds will be made available for the investigation and remedial action for
the site. AWI has recorded an environmental liability with respect to the St.
Helens remedial investigations and feasibility study at its facility, but not
for Scappoose Bay because AWI continues to dispute responsibility for any
contamination in Scappoose Bay.

Liabilities of $21.2 million at December 31, 2002 and $16.6 million at December
31, 2001 were for potential environmental liabilities that Armstrong considers
probable and for which a reasonable estimate of the probable liability could be
made. Where existing data is sufficient to estimate the liability, that estimate
has been used; where only a range of probable liability is available and no
amount within that range is more likely than any other, the lower end of the
range has been used. As assessments and remediation activities progress at each
site, these liabilities are reviewed to reflect additional information as it
becomes available. Due to the Chapter 11 Filing, $11.4 million of the December
31, 2002 and $6.4 million of the December 31, 2001 environmental liabilities are
classified as prepetition liabilities subject to compromise. As a general rule,
the Chapter 11 process does not preserve company assets for such prepetition
liabilities.

The estimated liabilities above do not take into account any claims for
recoveries from insurance or third parties. Such recoveries, where probable,
have been recorded as an asset in the consolidated financial statements and are
either available through settlement or anticipated to be recovered through
negotiation or litigation. The amount of the recorded asset for estimated
recoveries was $3.3 million and $3.8 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively.

Actual costs to be incurred at identified sites may vary from the estimates,
given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental liabilities.
Subject to the imprecision in estimating environmental remediation costs,
Armstrong believes that any sum it may have to pay in connection with
environmental matters in excess of the amounts noted above would not have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition, or liquidity, although the
recording of future costs may be material to earnings in such future period.
Armstrong recorded expense of $4.5 million, $2.1 million and $1.5 million for
the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Patent Infringement Claims
Armstrong is a defendant in two related lawsuits claiming patent infringement
related to some of Armstrong's laminate products. The plaintiffs have claimed
unspecified monetary damages. Armstrong is being defended and indemnified by its
supplier for all costs and potential damages related to the litigation.

Former Employees Claim
About 370 former Armstrong employees that were separated in two business
divestitures in 2000 have brought two purported class actions against the
Retirement Committee of AWI, certain current and former members of the
Retirement Committee, the Retirement Savings and Stock Ownership Plan (RSSOP),
AHI and the trustee bank of the RSSOP. The cases are pending in the United
States District Court (Eastern District of PA). Similar proofs of claim have
been filed against AWI in the Chapter 11 Case. Plaintiffs allege breach of
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) fiduciary duties and other
violations of ERISA pertaining to losses in their RSSOP accounts, which were
invested in Armstrong common stock. While AHI believes there are substantive
defenses to the allegations and while denying

                                       107

<PAGE>

liability, AWI has reached an agreement to settle this matter for $1.0 million,
which will be allocated among the approximate 370 former employees and treated
as convenience claims in the Chapter 11 Case. The settlement requires approval
of the Bankruptcy Court.

Department of Labor Discussions
Subsequent to an audit by the United States Department of Labor ("DOL"),
Armstrong has been informed that the DOL is challenging the validity of the use
of certain contributions to fund debt payments made by the Armstrong Employee
Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), as provided for by that plan. Armstrong is
cooperating with the DOL to address its questions and concerns about those
transactions. Armstrong believes that it fully complied with all applicable laws
and regulations governing the plan, and therefore has not recorded any liability
related to this matter.

Inquiries Concerning World Trade Center Collapse
Armstrong has received inquiries from parties (including the National Institute
of Standards and Technology or NIST) investigating the fire and collapse at the
World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001 concerning the types
and amounts of the company's products that were placed into the World Trade
Center towers over time. The products manufactured by the company that are
believed to have been placed in the World Trade Center site including the Tower
buildings in significant amounts included ceiling tile, floor tile (some
containing encapsulated asbestos fibers) and low temperature (non-asbestos) pipe
insulation. The company has not been made aware of any claim or litigation
relating to its products which were in place as of September 11, 2001.

Other Claims
Additionally, AHI, through AWI and AWI's subsidiaries, is involved in various
other claims and legal actions involving product liability, patent infringement,
distributor termination, employment law issues and other actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. While complete assurance cannot be given to the
outcome of these claims, AHI does not expect that any sum that may have to be
paid in connection with these matters will have a materially adverse effect on
its consolidated financial position or liquidity, however it could be material
to the results of operations in the particular period in which a matter is
resolved.

NOTE 33. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ARMSTRONG HOLDINGS INC. AND ARMSTRONG WORLD
          INDUSTRIES, INC.
The difference between the financial statements of AHI and Armstrong is
primarily due to transactions that occurred in 2000 related to the formation of
Armstrong Holdings, Inc. and stock activity.

NOTE 35. PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS PLAN
AHI has a shareholder rights plan under a Rights Agreement dated as of March 14,
2000 and in connection therewith distributed one right for each share of its
common stock outstanding. In general, the rights become exercisable at $300 per
right for a fractional share of a new series of Class A preferred stock 10 days
after a person or group, other than certain affiliates of AHI either acquires
beneficial ownership of shares representing 20% or more of the voting power of
AHI or announces a tender or exchange offer that could result in such person or
group beneficially owning shares representing 28% or more of the voting power of
AHI. If thereafter any person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 28% or
more of the voting power of AHI, or if AHI is the surviving company in a merger
with a person or group that owns 20% or more of the voting power of AHI, then
each owner of a right (other than such 20% shareholder) would be entitled to
purchase shares of company common stock having a value equal to twice the
exercise price of the right. Should AHI be acquired in a merger or other
business combination, or sell 50% or more of its assets or earnings power, each
right would entitle the holder to purchase, at the exercise price, common shares
of the acquirer having a value of twice the exercise price of the right. The
exercise price was determined on the basis of the Board's view of the long-term
value of AHI's common stock. The rights have no voting power nor do they entitle
a holder to receive dividends. At AHI's option, the rights are redeemable prior
to becoming exercisable at five cents per right. The rights expire on March 21,
2006, unless extended or earlier redeemed by the AHI Board of Directors. If the
POR discussed in Note 1 is approved and becomes effective, and the proposed
dissolution of AHI is effected, the rights will be dissolved along with the
related shares of AHI common stock.

                          Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors and Shareholders,
Armstrong Holdings, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Armstrong
Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries ("the Company") as listed in the accompanying
index on page 58. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial
statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule as listed in
the accompanying index on page 58. These consolidated financial statements and
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Armstrong Holdings,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern. As discussed in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, three
of the Company's domestic subsidiaries, including Armstrong World Industries,
Inc., the Company's major operating subsidiary, filed separate voluntary
petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in
the United States Bankruptcy Court on December 6, 2000. Armstrong World
Industries, Inc. has also defaulted on certain debt obligations. Although these
operating subsidiaries are currently operating their businesses as
debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court, the
continuation of their businesses as going concerns is contingent upon, among
other things, the ability to formulate a plan of reorganization which will gain
approval of the creditors and confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court. The filing
under Chapter 11 and the resulting increased uncertainty regarding the Company's
potential asbestos liabilities, as discussed in Note 32 of the consolidated
financial statements, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements
and financial statement schedule do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

As discussed in Note 12 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for goodwill and intangible assets in 2002.

               Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND CHAPTER 11 REORGANIZATION
Armstrong World Industries, Inc. ("AWI") is a Pennsylvania corporation
incorporated in 1891, which together with its subsidiaries is referred to here
as "Armstrong". Through its U.S. operations and U.S. and international
subsidiaries, Armstrong designs, manufactures and sells flooring products
(resilient, wood, carpeting and sports flooring) as well as ceiling systems,
around the world. Armstrong products are sold primarily for use in the
finishing, refurbishing and repair of residential, commercial and institutional
buildings. Armstrong also designs, manufactures and sells kitchen and bathroom
cabinets to single and multi family homebuilders and remodelers.

Armstrong Holdings, Inc. (which together with its subsidiaries is referred to
here as "AHI") is the publicly held parent holding company of Armstrong.
Armstrong Holdings, Inc. became the parent company of Armstrong on May 1, 2000,
following AWI shareholder approval of a plan of exchange under which each share
of AWI was automatically exchanged for one share of Armstrong Holdings, Inc.
Armstrong Holdings, Inc. was formed for purposes of the share exchange and holds
no other significant assets or operations apart from AWI and AWI's subsidiaries.
Stock certificates that formerly represented shares of AWI were automatically
converted into certificates representing the same number of shares of Armstrong
Holdings, Inc. The publicly held debt of AWI was not affected in the
transaction.

Proceedings under Chapter 11
On December 6, 2000, AWI, the major operating subsidiary of AHI, filed a
voluntary petition for relief (the "Filing") under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware (the "Court") in order to use the court-supervised
reorganization process to achieve a resolution of its asbestos liability. Also
filing under Chapter 11 were two of Armstrong's wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Nitram Liquidators, Inc. ("Nitram") and Desseaux Corporation of North America,
Inc. ("Desseaux," and together with AWI and Nitram, the "Debtors"). The Chapter
11 cases are being jointly administered under case numbers 00-4469, 00-4470, and
00-4471 (the "Chapter 11 Case").

AWI is operating its business and managing its properties as a
debtor-in-possession subject to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant
to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, AWI is not permitted to pay any claims
or obligations which arose prior to the Filing date (prepetition claims) unless
specifically authorized by the Court. Similarly, claimants may not enforce any
claims against AWI that arose prior to the date of the Filing unless
specifically authorized by the Court. In addition, as a debtor-in-possession,
AWI has the right, subject to the Court's approval, to assume or reject any
executory contracts and unexpired leases in existence at the date of the Filing.
Parties having claims as a result of any such rejection may file claims with the
Court, which will be dealt with as part of the Chapter 11 Case.

Three creditors' committees, one representing asbestos personal injury claimants
(the "Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants' Committee"), one representing asbestos
property damage claimants (the "Asbestos Property Damage Committee"), and the
other representing other unsecured creditors (the "Unsecured Creditors'
Committee"), have been appointed in the Chapter 11 Case. In addition, an
individual has been appointed to represent the interests of future asbestos
personal injury claimants (the "Future Claimants' Representative"). In
accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, these parties have the
right to be heard on matters that come before the Court in the Chapter 11 Case.

Plan of Reorganization
On November 4, 2002, AWI filed a Plan of Reorganization with the Court and on
March 14, 2003, AWI filed its First Amended Plan of Reorganization and selected
exhibits (as so amended, it is referred to in this report as the "POR"). The POR
has been endorsed by AHI's Board of Directors and is supported by the Asbestos
Personal Injury Claimants' Committee, the Unsecured Creditors' Committee and the
Future Claimants' Representative. At present, AWI has not yet reached agreement
with the Asbestos Property Damage Committee with respect to the terms and
provisions of the POR. The POR provides for, among

                                      115

<PAGE>

other things, the treatment and discharge of all prepetition claims, including
all asbestos-related claims. The POR excludes Armstrong's Nitram and Desseaux
subsidiaries. Implementation of the POR and the treatment of claims and
interests as provided therein is subject to confirmation of the POR in
accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, the timing and
terms of resolution of the Chapter 11 Case remain uncertain.

Disclosure Statement
On December 20, 2002, a proposed disclosure statement with respect to the POR
was filed with the Court. On December 26, 2002, AWI filed projected financial
information with the Court as Exhibit C to the disclosure statement. On March
14, 2003, AWI filed an amended Disclosure Statement with the Court (as so
amended, it is referred to in this report as the "Disclosure Statement"). Prior
to soliciting acceptances to the POR, the Court must approve a disclosure
statement to be included as part of the solicitation materials and find that the
disclosure statement contains adequate information to enable those voting on the
POR to make an informed judgment to accept or reject the POR.

As indicated in the Disclosure Statement and its exhibits, the projected
financial information and various estimates of value therein discussed should
not be regarded as representations or warranties by AWI, AHI or any other person
as to the accuracy of such information or that any such projection or valuation
will be realized. The information in the Disclosure Statement, including the
projected financial information and estimates of value, has been prepared by AWI
and its financial advisors. This information has not been audited or reviewed by
independent accountants. The significant assumptions used in preparation of the
information and estimates of value are included in Exhibit C to the Disclosure
Statement. The Bankruptcy Court has scheduled the hearing to consider approval
of the Disclosure Statement for April 4, 2003.

The discussions of the POR and Disclosure Statement in this report are qualified
by reference to the full text of those documents as filed with the Court and
filed for reference purposes with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
POR and Disclosure Statement are available at www.armstrongplan.com, where
additional information will be posted as it becomes available.

Objections to the Disclosure Statement
During February 2003, several parties involved in the Chapter 11 Case filed
objections to the initial Disclosure Statement with the Court. Objections were
filed by, among others, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, the Center for Claims
Resolution, Travelers Indemnity Company and Travelers Casualty and Surety
Company, Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., as Indenture Trustee, and the
Unofficial Committee of Select Asbestos Claimants. Additional objections may be
filed against the amended Disclosure Statement. The Court heard and addressed
many of these objections at the February 28, 2003 hearing. Any remaining
objections are expected to be addressed at the April 4, 2003 hearing.

Asbestos Personal Injury Trust
A principal feature of the POR is the creation of a trust (the "Asbestos PI
Trust"), pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, to which all present
and future asbestos-related personal injury claims, including contribution
claims of co-defendants, will be channeled. In accordance with the "524(g)
injunction" to be issued by the Court in connection with the confirmation of the
POR, various entities will be protected from suit on account of present and
future asbestos-related personal injury claims. These entities include, among
others, AWI, reorganized AWI, AHI, AWI's affiliates, and their respective
officers and directors. Claims resolution procedures to be utilized by the
Asbestos PI Trust have been developed. These procedures will govern the
allowance and payment by the Asbestos PI Trust of all present and future
asbestos-related personal injury claims. The Asbestos PI Trust will be funded
with AWI's rights to insurance providing coverage for asbestos-related personal
injury claims, as well as a share of cash, notes, and common stock to be issued
under the POR to creditors, as described below.

Consideration to Be Distributed under the POR (unaudited)
The Asbestos PI Trust and the holders of unsecured claims will share in the POR
consideration that is made up of the following components:

     .    Available Cash, which is comprised of:
           .   Cash available on the effective date of the POR after reserving
               up to $100 million to fund ongoing operations and making
               provisions for certain required payments under the POR,
           .   Any cash drawn, at AWI's sole discretion, under an exit finance
               facility for the purpose of funding distributions under the POR,
               and
           .   Certain insurance proceeds related to environmental matters
     .    Plan Notes of reorganized AWI with a term of 5 to 10 years and/or net
          proceeds from any private offerings of debt securities, and
     .    Substantially all of the outstanding common stock of reorganized AWI

The total amount of Plan Notes will be the greater of (i) $1.125 billion less
Available Cash and (ii) $775 million. However, AWI will use reasonable efforts
to issue one or more private offerings of debt securities on, or as soon as
practicable after, the Effective Date that would yield net proceeds at least
equal to the amount of the Plan Notes prescribed by the Plan. If the private
offerings are successful, the Plan Notes would not be issued. If the offerings
yield proceeds less than the amount of the Plan Notes prescribed by the Plan,
AWI will issue Plan Notes equal to the difference. The private offerings, if
issued, will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be
offered or sold in the U.S. absent registration or an applicable exemption from
registration requirements.

The POR provides that unsecured creditors, other than convenience creditors
described below, will receive their pro rata share of:
     .    34.43% of the new common stock,
     .    34.43% of the first $1.05 billion of
              .    Up to $300 million of Available Cash and
              .    The principal amount of Plan Notes and/or net cash proceeds
                   from any private debt offerings of debt securities.
     .    60% of the next $50 million of Available Cash and, if such Available
          Cash is less than $50 million, then 60% of Plan Notes and/or net cash
          proceeds from any private debt offerings of debt securities, in an
          amount equal to the difference between $50 million and the amount of
          such Available Cash, and
     .    34.43% of the remaining amount of Available Cash and Plan Notes and/or
          net cash proceeds from any private debt offerings of debt securities.
The remaining amount of new common stock, Available Cash and Plan Notes and/or
net cash proceeds from any private debt offerings of debt securities, will be
distributed to the Asbestos PI Trust.

Under the POR, unsecured creditors whose claims (other than debt securities) are
less than $10,000 or who elect to reduce their claims to $10,000 will be treated
as "convenience creditors" and will receive payment of 75% of their allowed
claim amount in cash.

Asbestos property damage claims that are still disputed as of the effective date
of the POR will be channeled to a separate trust ("Asbestos PD Trust") under the
POR. If the class of asbestos property damage claimants votes to accept the POR,
the Asbestos PD Trust will be funded with $0.5 million to $2.0 million in cash
based upon the number of disputed claims (which will be funded exclusively from
the proceeds of insurance). If the class of asbestos property damage claimants
rejects the POR, the Court will estimate the aggregate value of asbestos
property damage claims, and the Asbestos PD Trust will be funded exclusively
with rights to insurance in an amount sufficient to provide for payment in full
of asbestos property damage claims, up to the aggregate amount estimated by the
Court. However, if less than 25 disputed asbestos property damage claims remain
outstanding as of the effective date of the POR, AWI may elect, in its sole
discretion, to litigate the merits of each remaining asbestos property damage
claim before the Court and pay any allowed claim in full, in cash, from
insurance proceeds rather than channel the asbestos property damage claims to
the Asbestos PD Trust.

Under the POR, the existing equity interests in AWI will be cancelled. The POR
provides for the potential distribution, with respect to existing equity, of
warrants to purchase shares of reorganized AWI (the "Warrants"). The terms of
the Warrants would all be measured from the effective date of the POR. The
Warrants:
     .    Would constitute 5% of the common stock of reorganized AWI on a fully
          diluted basis:
     .    Would have a 7-year exercisable term; and
     .    Would contain an exercise price equal to 125% of the per share equity
          value of reorganized AWI, as agreed among the financial advisers for
          AWI, the Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants' Committee, the Unsecured
          Creditors' Committee, and the Future Claimants' Representative, and
          which will be set forth in the Court-approved disclosure statement for
          the POR.
The Warrants are estimated to have a value on the effective date of the POR of
approximately $40 million to $50 million.

AHI's shareholders will have no actual vote on the POR. If the POR is
implemented, the only value that will be retained by AHI shareholders is the
potential to receive their ratable share of the Warrants if AHI's Plan of
Liquidation (see discussion below) is approved. If the shareholders and Board of
Directors of AHI do not approve AHI's Plan of Liquidation, AHI will not receive
any Warrants to distribute to its shareholders.

Consideration Value Defined by the Disclosure Statement (unaudited)
In the Disclosure Statement, assuming an Effective Date of the POR of July 1,
2003, and based on estimates of the fair value of reorganized AWI, the total
value of consideration to be distributed to the Asbestos PI Trust, other than
the asbestos product liability insurance policies, will be approximately $2.1
billion, and the total value of consideration to be distributed to holders of
allowed unsecured claims (other than convenience claims) will be approximately
$1.1 billion. Based upon the estimated value of the POR consideration and AWI's
estimate that unsecured claims allowed by the Court (other than convenience
claims) will total approximately $1.65 billion, AWI estimates that holders of
allowed unsecured claims (other than convenience claims) will receive a recovery
having a value equal to approximately 66.5% of their allowed claims. AWI's
estimates of the consideration and potential recoveries are based upon many
assumptions, including:
     .    The estimated reorganization value for AWI is between $2.7 billion and
          $3.3 billion (with a midpoint of $3.0 billion)
     .    The estimated equity value of new common stock is between $25.60 and
          $34.40 per share with a midpoint of $30.00 per share (assuming a
          distribution of 67.5 million shares of new common stock to holders of
          unsecured claims and the Asbestos PI Trust)
     .    The Plan Notes will be in the aggregate principal amount of $775
          million and are worth their face value
     .    AWI expects to have Available Cash of approximately $350 million
     .    The estimated value of the Warrants is between $40 million and $50
          million

AHI's Plan of Liquidation
In connection with the consummation of the POR, the existing equity interests in
AWI will be cancelled, and the common stock of reorganized AWI will be held
principally by AWI's unsecured creditors and the Asbestos PI Trust. The POR
contemplates that AHI will propose to its shareholders that it adopt a plan for
winding up and dissolving itself. The POR provides that, in order for AHI to
receive the Warrants, the shareholders and Board of Directors of AHI must
approve AHI's Plan of Liquidation within one year after the occurrence of the
effective date under the POR. If such approval is not obtained, the holder of
AWI's existing equity interest will not receive the Warrants. The POR provides
that reorganized AWI will pay any costs and expenses incurred in connection with
AHI's Plan of Liquidation. More information regarding the contemplated
dissolution and winding up of AHI will be made available to AHI shareholders in
the future.

Structure of Reorganized AWI
As disclosed within the 2002 third quarter Form 10-Q filing, AWI had planned to
effectuate a "division" under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law in
connection with the consummation of the POR. Under the planned division,
reorganized AWI was to separate into a holding company and separate wholly-owned
subsidiaries carrying out its major lines of business. After further analysis
and review, the previously contemplated division will no longer occur and AWI
will emerge from bankruptcy protection as the parent and primary operating
company.

Common Stock and Debt Securities
As a result of filing the POR on November 4, 2002, the New York Stock Exchange
stopped trading on the Exchange of the common stock of AHI (traded under the
ticker symbol "ACK") and two debt securities of AWI (traded under the ticker
symbols "AKK" and "ACK 08"). AHI's common stock has resumed trading in the
over-the-counter (OTC) Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol "ACKHQ" and one of
AWI's debt securities has resumed trading under the ticker symbol "AKKWQ".

Bar Date for Filing Claims
The Court established August 31, 2001 as the bar date for all claims against AWI
except for asbestos-related personal injury claims and certain other specified
claims. A bar date is the date by which claims against AWI must be filed if the
claimants wish to participate in any distribution in the Chapter 11 Case. The
Court has extended the bar date for claims from several environmental agencies
until the first quarter of 2003. On March 1, 2002, the Court allowed certain
holders of alleged asbestos property damage claims to file a class proof of
claim against AWI and extended the bar date for asbestos property damage claims
to March 20, 2002. In July 2002, the Court denied the certification of the
proposed class and held that the plaintiffs' proof of claim shall only be
effective as to the named claimants. A bar date for asbestos-related personal
injury claims (other than claims for contribution, indemnification, or
subrogation) has not been set.

Approximately 4,600 proofs of claim (including late-filed claims) totaling
approximately $6.2 billion alleging a right to payment from AWI were filed with
the Court in response to the August 31, 2001 bar date, which are discussed
below. AWI continues to investigate claims. The Court will ultimately determine
liability amounts that will be allowed as part of the Chapter 11 process.

In its ongoing review of the filed claims, AWI has identified and successfully
objected to approximately 1,300 claims totaling $1.6 billion. These claims were
primarily duplicate filings, claims that were subsequently amended or claims
that are not related to AWI. The Court disallowed these claims with prejudice.

Approximately 1,000 proofs of claim totaling approximately $1.9 billion are
pending with the Court that are associated with asbestos-related personal injury
litigation, including direct personal injury claims, claims by co-defendants for
contribution and indemnification, and claims relating to AWI's participation in
the Center for Claims Resolution (the "Center"). As stated above, the bar date
of August 31, 2001 did not apply to asbestos-related personal injury claims
other than claims for contribution, indemnification, or subrogation. The POR
contemplates that all asbestos-related personal injury claims, including claims
for contribution, indemnification, or subrogation, will be addressed in the
future pursuant to the procedures to be developed in connection with the POR.
See further discussion regarding AWI's liability for asbestos-

related matters in Note 32 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Approximately 500 proofs of claim totaling approximately $0.8 billion alleging
asbestos-related property damage are pending with the Court. Most of these
claims were new to AWI and many were submitted with insufficient documentation
to assess their validity. As part of determining whether AWI asbestos containing
resilient floor covering products give rise to property damage liability, the
Court conducted an initial hearing on September 26 - 27, 2002 to decide the type
of scientific testing allowable under the Federal Rules of Evidence to prove or
disprove whether such products cause building contamination. On October 22,
2002, the Court granted AWI's requested relief and ruled that the methodology
offered by the Asbestos Property Damage Committee in support of its claims is
not a scientifically valid method of quantifying the level of asbestos
contamination in a building. On November 1, 2002, the Court directed that all
property damage claimants provide, in support of their claims, substantiation
that Armstrong flooring products were used in the claimants' buildings. The
Court's deadline for submission of such product identification documentation was
February 10, 2003. Prior to the Court's deadline, AWI reached an agreement in
principle to settle approximately 360 property damage claims, which alleged
damages of $0.2 billion, for approximately $2 million. Any amounts to be paid
are expected to be funded by insurance. This settlement is subject to the
Court's approval, which is scheduled to be heard by the Court on April 4, 2003.
Additionally, 130 property damage claims have been disallowed or withdrawn.
Approximately 100 property damage claims totaling $0.6 billion will remain
unresolved if the settlement is approved. Only 26 of these approximately 100
remaining property damage claims submitted product identification by the
February 10, 2003 deadline referred to above. AWI expects to continue vigorously
defending any asserted asbestos-related property damage claims in the Court. AWI
believes that it has a significant amount of existing insurance coverage
available for asbestos-related property damage liability, with the amount
ultimately available dependent upon, among other things, the profile of the
claims that may be allowed by the Court. AWI's history of property damage
litigation prior to the Chapter 11 filing is described in Note 32 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Approximately 1,800 claims totaling approximately $1.9 billion alleging a right
to payment for financing, environmental, trade debt and other claims are pending
with the Court. For these categories of claims, AWI has previously recorded
approximately $1.6 billion in liabilities. AWI continues to investigate the
claims to determine their validity.

AWI continues to evaluate claims filed in the Chapter 11 Case. AWI has recorded
liability amounts for claims whose value can be reasonably estimated and which
it believes are probable of being allowed by the Court. During the fourth
quarter of 2002, AWI recorded a $2.5 billion charge to increase its estimate of
probable asbestos-related liability based on the developments in the Chapter 11
Case. See Note 32 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion. At this time, it is impossible to reasonably estimate the value of
all the claims that will ultimately be allowed by the Court. However, it is
likely the value of the claims ultimately allowed by the Court will be different
than amounts presently recorded by AWI and could be material to AWI's financial
position and the results of its operations. Management will continue to review
the recorded liability in light of future developments in the Chapter 11 Case
and make changes to the recorded liability if and when it is appropriate.

Financing
On November 1, 2002, the Court announced it had approved AWI's motion to reduce
the amount of its debtor-in-possession credit facility (the "DIP Facility") from
$200 million to $75 million, eliminate the revolving credit borrowing feature,
retain the letter of credit issuance facility and extend the maturity date to
December 8, 2003. As of December 31, 2002, AWI had approximately $28.7 million
in letters of credit which were issued pursuant to the DIP Facility. As of
December 31, 2002, AWI had $76.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, excluding
cash held by its non-debtor subsidiaries. The decrease from the $205.9 million
of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2002 is primarily due to an
intercompany payment of $120 million from AWI to a wholly owned non-debtor
subsidiary under a license agreement for use of intangible assets and
intellectual property. This payment does not affect Armstrong's consolidated
cash balance. AWI believes that cash on hand and generated from operations and
dividends from its subsidiaries, together with lines of credit and the DIP
Facility, will be adequate to address its foreseeable

                                       120

<PAGE>

liquidity needs. Obligations under the DIP Facility, including reimbursement of
draws under the letters of credit, if any, constitute superpriority
administrative expense claims in the Chapter 11 Case.

Accounting Impact
AICPA Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7") provides financial
reporting guidance for entities that are reorganizing under the Bankruptcy Code.
This guidance is implemented in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

Pursuant to SOP 90-7, AWI is required to segregate prepetition liabilities that
are subject to compromise and report them separately on the balance sheet. See
Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for detail of the liabilities
subject to compromise at December 31, 2002 and 2001. Liabilities that may be
affected by a plan of reorganization are recorded at the expected amount of the
allowed claims, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. Substantially
all of AWI's prepetition debt, now in default, is recorded at face value and is
classified within liabilities subject to compromise. Obligations of Armstrong
subsidiaries not covered by the Filing remain classified on the consolidated
balance sheet based upon maturity date. AWI's estimated liability for
asbestos-related personal injury claims is also recorded in liabilities subject
to compromise. See Note 32 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion of AWI's asbestos liability.

Additional prepetition claims (liabilities subject to compromise) may arise due
to the rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases, or as a result of
the allowance of contingent or disputed claims.

SOP 90-7 also requires separate reporting of all revenues, expenses, realized
gains and losses, and provision for losses related to the Filing as Chapter 11
reorganization costs, net. Accordingly, AWI recorded the following Chapter 11
reorganization activities during 2002, 2001 and 2000:

</TABLE>

Professional fees represent legal and financial advisory fees and expenses
directly related to the Filing.

Interest income is earned from short-term investments of cash by AWI subsequent
to the Filing.

Reductions to prepetition liabilities represent the difference between the
prepetition invoiced amount and the actual cash payment made to certain vendors
due to negotiated settlements. These payments of prepetition obligations were
made pursuant to authority granted by the Court.

Termination of prepetition lease obligation represents the reversal of an
accrual for future lease payments for office space in the U.S. that AWI will not
pay due to the termination of the lease contract. This amount was previously
accrued in the third quarter of 2000 as part of a restructuring charge when the
decision to vacate the premises was made.

                                       121

<PAGE>

ESOP related costs include a $43.3 million impairment charge related to amounts
borrowed by the ESOP from Armstrong, the trustee of the ESOP. After the Filing,
it was expected that the ESOP would no longer have the ability to repay
Armstrong money it previously borrowed. In addition, a $15.5 million expense was
recorded related to interest and tax penalty guarantees owed to ESOP bondholders
caused by the default on the ESOP bonds.

In order to record prepetition debt at the face value or the amount of the
expected allowed claims, AWI adjusted the amount of net debt and debt issue
costs and recorded a pretax expense of $42.0 million.

As a result of the Filing, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities
are subject to uncertainty. While operating as a debtor-in-possession, AWI may
sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or settle liabilities for
amounts other than those reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
Although a POR and Disclosure Statement have been filed with the Court,
implementation of the POR is subject to confirmation of the POR in accordance
with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. AWI is unable to predict when and if
the POR will be confirmed. Therefore, the timing and terms of a resolution of
the Chapter 11 Case remain uncertain. Further, a confirmed plan of
reorganization could materially change the amounts and classifications reported
in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation Policy. The consolidated financial statements and accompanying
data in this report include the accounts of Armstrong and its majority-owned
subsidiaries. The results of less than majority owned subsidiaries are accounted
for under the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. Certain prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates. These financial statements are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and include management estimates and
judgments, where appropriate. Management utilizes estimates to record many items
including asbestos-related liabilities and insurance asset recoveries and
reserves for bad debts, inventory obsolescence, warranty, workers compensation,
general liability and environmental claims. Management determines the amount of
necessary reserves based upon all known relevant information. Management also
confers with outside parties, including outside counsel, where appropriate.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition. Armstrong recognizes revenue from the sale of products and
the related accounts receivable no earlier than the date on which title
transfers, generally on the date of shipment. A provision is made for the
estimated cost of rebates and promotional programs. Provisions for estimated
discounts and bad debt losses are based on knowledge of specific customers and a
review of outstanding accounts receivable balances.

Sales Incentives. In accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")
Issue No. 00-014, "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives," certain sales
incentives are recorded as a reduction of net sales for all periods presented.
In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-022, "Accounting for `Points' and Certain
Other Time-Based or Volume-Based Sales Incentive Offers, and Offers for Free
Products or Services to Be Delivered in the Future," certain sales volume
incentives are recorded as a reduction of net sales for all periods presented.
In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-025, "Vendor Income Statement
Characterization of Consideration from a Vendor to a Retailer," effective
January 1, 2002, Armstrong has reclassified $1.9 million from selling, general
and administrative expenses to a reduction of net sales for both 2001 and 2000.

Shipping and Handling Costs. Shipping and handling costs are reflected in cost
of goods sold for all periods presented.

Advertising Costs. Armstrong recognizes advertising expenses as they are
incurred.

                                       122

<PAGE>

Pension and Postretirement Benefits. Armstrong has benefit plans that provide
for pension, medical and life insurance benefits to certain eligible employees
when they retire from active service. Generally, Armstrong's practice is to fund
the actuarially determined current service costs and the amounts necessary to
amortize prior service obligations over periods ranging up to 30 years, but not
in excess of the funding limitations.

Taxes. The provision for income taxes has been determined using the asset and
liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized using enacted tax rates for expected future tax
consequences of events recognized in the financial statements or tax returns.
The provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable for the
current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Valuation
allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely
than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. The tax benefit for dividends
paid on unallocated shares of stock held by the ESOP was recognized in
shareholder's equity.

Gains and Losses on Divestitures. Armstrong generally records the gain or loss
on divested businesses in other non-operating income or expense.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and
short-term investments that have maturities of three months or less when
purchased.

Concentration of Credit. Armstrong principally sells products to customers in
the building products industries, in various geographic regions. In 2002,
Armstrong's net sales to The Home Depot, Inc. totaled approximately $380.3
million compared to approximately $340.8 million and $373.2 million in 2001 and
2000, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of Armstrong's
revenue. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk other than with
two home center customers who represent 22% and 18% of Armstrong's trade
receivables as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Armstrong
continuously evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers and generally does
not require collateral.

Inventories. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventories
also include certain resilient flooring samples used in ongoing sales and
marketing activities.

Property and Depreciation. Property, plant and equipment values are stated at
acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation
charges for financial reporting purposes are determined on the straight-line
basis at rates calculated to provide for the retirement of assets at the end of
their useful lives, generally as follows: buildings, 20 to 40 years; machinery
and equipment, 3 to 20 years.

In accordance with SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets," effective January 1, 2002, impairment losses are recorded
when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows
estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying
amount. For purposes of calculating any impairment, fair values are determined
using a net discounted cash flows approach. When assets are disposed of or
retired, their costs and related depreciation are removed from the financial
statements and any resulting gains or losses normally are reflected in "Selling,
general and administrative expenses."

Costs of the construction of certain property include capitalized interest which
is amortized over the estimated useful life of the related asset. There was no
capitalized interest recorded in 2002 and 2001 due to the Chapter 11 Filing.
Capitalized interest was $0.4 million in 2000.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Effective January 1, 2002, Armstrong adopted
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("FAS 142"), which requires
that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be
amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. Armstrong's
annual impairment test is performed in the fourth quarter. FAS 142 also requires
that intangible assets with determinable useful lives be amortized over their
respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and
reviewed for impairment. See Note 12 for required disclosure on goodwill and
other intangibles.

                                       123

<PAGE>

Contingent Liabilities. In the context of the Chapter 11 Case, contingent
liabilities, including claims that became known after the Filing, are recorded
on the basis of the expected amount of the allowed claim in accordance with SOP
90-7 as opposed to the amount for which a claim may be settled.

Foreign Currency Transactions. Assets and liabilities of Armstrong's
subsidiaries operating outside the United States, which account in a functional
currency other than US dollars, are translated using the year end exchange rate.
Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates effective
during the year. Foreign currency translation gains or losses are included as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholder's
equity. Gains or losses on foreign currency transactions are recognized through
the statement of earnings.

Financial Instruments and Derivatives. From time to time, Armstrong uses
derivatives and other financial instruments to diversify or offset the effect of
currency, interest rate and commodity price variability. See Note 19 for further
discussion.

Stock-based Employee Compensation. Effective December 31, 2002, Armstrong
adopted SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and
Disclosure," which requires the following disclosure. At December 31, 2002,
Armstrong had three stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described
more fully in Note 25. Armstrong accounts for those plans under the intrinsic
value recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations. The following table
illustrates the effect on net income if Armstrong had applied the fair value
recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based
Compensation," to stock-based employee compensation.

</TABLE>

Accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies. Performance of the segments is
evaluated on operating income before income taxes, unusual gains and losses, and
interest expense. Armstrong accounts for intersegment sales and transfers based
upon its internal transfer pricing policy.

The 2002 decrease in the assets of the Wood Flooring segment is primarily due to
the $596.0 million ($593.8 million, net of tax) goodwill and intangible asset
impairment write down recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle as of January 1, 2002. See Note 12 for further details.

The 2002 increase in the assets of the Unallocated Corporate segment is
primarily due to the $869.7 million increase in the deferred tax asset primarily
created by the fourth quarter 2002 asbestos charge described in Notes 1 and 32.

NOTE 4. LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE
As a result of AWI's Chapter 11 filing (see Note 1), pursuant to SOP 90-7, AWI
is required to segregate prepetition liabilities that are subject to compromise
and report them separately on the balance sheet. Liabilities that may be
affected by a plan of reorganization are recorded at the amount of the expected
allowed claims, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. Substantially
all of AWI's prepetition debt, now in default, is recorded at face value and is
classified within liabilities subject to compromise. Obligations of Armstrong
subsidiaries not covered by the Filing remain classified on the consolidated
balance sheet based upon maturity date. AWI's asbestos liability is also
recorded in liabilities subject to compromise. During the fourth quarter of
2002, AWI recorded a non-cash charge of $2.5 billion to increase its estimate of
probable asbestos-related liability. See Note 1 for further discussion on how
the Chapter 11 process may address AWI's liabilities subject to compromise and
Note 32 for further discussion of AWI's asbestos liability.

Liabilities subject to compromise at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 are
as follows:

Additional prepetition claims (liabilities subject to compromise) may arise due
to the rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases, or as a result of
the allowance of contingent or disputed claims.

See Note 17 for detail of debt subject to compromise.

NOTE 5. ACQUISITIONS
During 2001, Armstrong spent $5.6 million to purchase some of the remaining
minority interest of already-consolidated entities within the Resilient Flooring
segment. Approximately $5.0 million of the purchase price was allocated to
goodwill.

On May 18, 2000, Armstrong acquired privately-held Switzerland-based Gema
Holding AG ("Gema"), a manufacturer and installer of metal ceilings, for $6
million plus certain contingent consideration not to exceed $25.5 million, based
on results over the three year period ending December 31, 2002. The purchase
agreement requires that the former owners of Gema are advised of the probable
contingent consideration calculation within 30 days of the Gema's audited
financial statements being available. If the former owners do not accept such
calculation within 30 days, the contingent consideration calculation will be
finally determined by a third party.

The acquisition was recorded under the purchase method of accounting. The
purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed
based on the estimated fair market value at the date of acquisition. Contingent
consideration, when and if paid, will be accounted for as additional purchase
price. The fair market value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets
acquired exceeded the purchase price by $24.2 million and this amount was
recorded as a reduction of the fair value of property, plant and equipment.

NOTE 6. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In February 2001, Armstrong determined to permanently exit the Textiles and
Sports Flooring segment and on February 20, 2001 entered into negotiations to
sell substantially all of the businesses comprising this segment to a private
equity investor based in Europe. Based on these events, the segment was
classified as a discontinued operation starting with the fourth quarter of 2000.
On June 12, 2001, negotiations with this investor were terminated. During the
third quarter of 2001, Armstrong terminated its

                                      128

<PAGE>

plans to permanently exit this segment. This decision was based on the
difficulty encountered in selling the business and a new review of the business,
industry and overall economy conducted by new senior management. Accordingly,
this segment is no longer classified as a discontinued operation and amounts
have been reclassified into operations as required by EITF Issue No. 90-16 -
"Accounting for Discontinued Operations Subsequently Retained". All prior
periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Based on the expected net realizable value of the business determined during the
negotiations to sell the business, Armstrong had recorded a pretax net loss of
$34.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2000, $23.8 million net of tax benefit.
Armstrong also had recorded an additional net loss of $3.3 million in the first
quarter of 2001, as a result of price adjustments resulting from the
negotiations. Concurrent with the decision to no longer classify the business as
a discontinued operation, the remaining accrued loss of $37.8 million ($27.1
million net of tax) was reversed in the third quarter of 2001 and recorded as
part of earnings from discontinued operations. Additionally, the segment's net
income of $3.1 million for the first and second quarter of 2001 was reclassified
into earnings from continuing operations for those periods.

During the third quarter of 2001, Armstrong concluded there were indicators of
impairment related to certain assets in this segment, and accordingly, an
impairment evaluation was conducted at the end of the third quarter under the
guidelines of SFAS No. 121 - "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". This evaluation led to an
impairment charge of $8.4 million, representing the excess of book value over
estimated fair value which was determined using a net discounted cash flows
approach. The charge was included in cost of sales. The impairment was related
to property, plant and equipment that produce certain products for which
Armstrong anticipates lower demand in the future. Additionally, an inventory
write-down of $2.1 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2001 within cost
of sales related to certain products that will no longer be sold.

On May 31, 2000, Armstrong completed its sale of all of the entities, assets and
certain liabilities comprising its Insulation Products segment to Orion
Einundvierzigste Beteiligungsgesellschaft Mbh, a subsidiary of the Dutch
investment firm Gilde Investment Management N.V. for $264 million. The
transaction resulted in an after tax gain of $114.8 million. During 2001,
Armstrong recorded a pretax loss of $1.1 million related to its divestiture of
its Insulation Products segment. This loss resulted from certain post-closing
adjustments.

NOTE 7. OTHER DIVESTITURES
In November 2000, Armstrong sold a component of its Textiles and Sports Flooring
segment. As this divestiture included a business classified as held for sale
since its 1998 acquisition, Armstrong had been recording the 2000 operating
losses of this business within SG&A expense. The overall 2000 impact was a
reduction of SG&A expense of $0.7 million.

On July 31, 2000, Armstrong completed the sale of its Installation Products
Group ("IPG") to subsidiaries of the German company Ardex GmbH, for $86 million
in cash. Ardex purchased substantially all of the assets and liabilities of IPG
including its shares of the W.W. Henry Company. The transaction resulted in a
gain of $44.1 million ($60.2 million pretax) and was recorded in other
non-operating income during the third quarter 2000. The financial results of IPG
were reported as part of the Resilient Flooring segment. The proceeds and gain
are subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment. Under the terms of a
supply agreement, Armstrong will purchase some of its installation product needs
from Ardex for an initial term of eight years, subject to certain minimums for
the first five years after the sale. The supply agreement also called for price
adjustments based upon changing market prices for raw materials, labor and
energy costs. During February 2003, Armstrong and Ardex reached a settlement in
principle on several open issues, which must be approved by the Court. The
settlement allowed for the payment of the pre-petition liability to Ardex with a
discount, adjusted the pricing for Armstrong's adhesives purchases, eliminated
the minimum purchase requirement and resolved environmental remediation
disputes. Under the settlement, Ardex will file a proof of claim related to
environmental remediation in AWI's Chapter 11 Case, which will be treated as an
allowed unsecured claim. This claim resulted in a fourth quarter 2002 charge of
$5.3 million, which was recorded in other non-operating expense.

Generally, Armstrong sells its products to select, pre-approved customers whose
businesses are affected by changes in economic and market conditions. Armstrong
considers these factors and the financial condition of each customer when
establishing its allowance for losses from doubtful accounts.

NOTE 9. INVENTORIES
Approximately 42% of Armstrong's total inventory in 2002 and 2001 was valued on
a LIFO (last-in, first-out) basis. Inventory values were lower than would have
been reported on a total FIFO (first-in, first-out) basis, by $52.6 million at
the end of 2002 and $46.2 million at year-end 2001.

interest in its WAVE joint venture and its remaining 35% interest in Interface
Solutions, Inc. ("ISI"). Armstrong continues to purchase certain raw materials
from ISI under a long-term supply agreement. Equity earnings from affiliates for
2002, 2001 and 2000 consisted primarily of income from a 50% interest in the
WAVE joint venture and the 35% interest in ISI.

Armstrong purchases some grid products from WAVE, its 50%-owned joint venture
with Worthington Industries. The total amount of these purchases was
approximately $41 million, $38 million and $41 million for the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Armstrong also provides certain
selling and administrative processing services to WAVE for which it receives
reimbursement. Additionally, WAVE leases certain land and buildings from
Armstrong.

NOTE 12.  GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Effective January 1, 2002, Armstrong adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" ("FAS 142"), which requires that goodwill and intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be
tested for impairment at least annually. FAS 142 also requires that intangible
assets with determinable useful lives be amortized over their respective
estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and reviewed for
impairment.

As of January 1, 2002, Armstrong had unamortized goodwill of $822.8 million, of
which $717.2 million was attributable to the Wood Flooring segment. In the
second quarter of 2002, Armstrong completed the assessment of goodwill and
recorded a $590.0 million non-cash transitional impairment charge related to the
Wood Flooring segment. The impairment charge is presented in the income
statement as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of
January 1, 2002. The impairment charge arose from the Wood Flooring segment's
fair value being lower than its carrying value. The Wood Flooring segment's fair
value was determined using a combination of discounted cash flows, values
implicit in precedent business combinations of similar companies in the building
products industry and stock market multiples of publicly-traded flooring
companies. The fair value was negatively affected by lower operating profits and
cash flows than were assumed at the time of the acquisition in 1998. The
shortfalls were caused by a combination of lower sales plus higher manufacturing
costs. Under previous accounting rules, no goodwill impairment would have been
recorded at January 1, 2002.

In the fourth quarter of 2002, Armstrong completed its annual assessment of
goodwill as required by FAS 142 and determined there was no impairment.

The following table represents the changes in goodwill since December 31, 2001.

/(1)/ Primarily consists of the effects of foreign exchange and resolution of
pre-acquisition tax and other contingencies.

As of January 1, 2002, Armstrong had unamortized identifiable intangible assets
of $94.1 million. It was determined that the fair value of one of Wood
Flooring's trademarks was lower than its carrying value. The fair value of the
trademark was estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. Accordingly, a
non-cash transitional impairment charge of $6.0 million ($3.8 million, net of
tax) was calculated and is

Amortization charges for computer software are determined on a straight-line
basis at rates calculated to provide for the retirement of assets at the end of
their useful lives, generally 3 to 7 years.

The annual amortization expense expected for the years 2003 through 2007 is as
follows:

2003       $ 14.8
2004         13.4

</TABLE>

A $0.5 million restructuring charge was recorded in the first quarter of 2002.
The charge related to severance benefits for eleven employees in the Textiles
and Sports Flooring segment, to reflect staffing needs for current business
conditions and continued efforts initiated in the fourth quarter of 2001.

A $2.2 million restructuring charge was recorded in the second quarter of 2002.
The charge primarily related to severance benefits for approximately 120
employees in the European Resilient Flooring business due to a slow European
economy and a consolidation of worldwide research and development activities. Of
the $2.2 million, $0.4 million represented a non-cash charge for enhanced
retirement benefits, which is accounted for as an increase to pension benefit
liabilities.

In the third quarter of 2002, $0.6 million of the remaining accrual related to
the first quarter 2002 and fourth quarter 2001 charges in the Textiles and
Sports Flooring segment was reversed, comprising certain severance accruals that
were no longer necessary. In the fourth quarter of 2002, an additional $0.2
million of this same accrual was reversed.

A $5.4 million pre-tax restructuring charge was recorded in the first quarter of
2001. The charge related to severance and enhanced retirement benefits for more
than 50 corporate and line-of-business salaried staff positions, as a result of
streamlining the organization, to reflect staffing needs for current business
conditions. Of the $5.4 million, $1.6 million represented a non-cash charge for
enhanced retirement benefits, which is accounted for as a reduction of the
prepaid pension asset.

In the second quarter of 2001, a $1.1 million reversal was recorded related to a
formerly occupied building for which Armstrong no longer believes it will incur
any additional costs. In addition, $0.2 million of the remaining accrual for the
first quarter 2001 reorganization was reversed, comprising certain severance
accruals that were no longer necessary as certain individuals remained employed
by Armstrong.

In the third quarter of 2001, a $1.4 million reversal was recorded related to
certain 2000 severance and benefit accruals that were no longer necessary and a
$0.3 million pre-tax charge was recorded for additional severance payments.

                                      133

<PAGE>

A $6.1 million pre-tax restructuring charge was recorded in the fourth quarter
of 2001. $5.2 million of the charge, which was allocated between Wood Flooring
and Cabinets, related to severance and enhanced retirement benefits for six
salaried employees (including the former Chief Operating Officer), as a result
of the on-going integration of the wood flooring and resilient flooring
operations. Of the $5.2 million, $0.5 million represented non-cash charges for
enhanced retirement benefits, which is accounted for as a reduction of the
prepaid pension asset, and accelerated vesting of restricted stock awards. The
remaining $0.9 million of the $6.1 million charge related to severance benefits
for more than twenty positions in the textiles and sports flooring business, as
a result of streamlining the organization. Also in the fourth quarter of 2001, a
$0.1 million reversal was recorded related to certain severance and benefit
accruals that were no longer necessary.

The amount in "other" in 2002 is related to foreign currency translation. The
amount in "other" in 2001 is primarily related to the termination of an
operating lease for an office facility in the U.S. These lease costs were
previously accrued in the third quarter of 2000 as part of the restructuring
charge when the decision to vacate the premises was made. The lease was rejected
as part of the Chapter 11 process. Accordingly, the $5.9 million reversal is
recorded as a reduction of Chapter 11 reorganization costs in accordance with
SOP 90-7. See Note 1 for further discussion. The remaining amount in "other" is
related to foreign currency translation.

Substantially all of the remaining balance of the restructuring accrual as of
December 31, 2002 relates to a noncancelable-operating lease, which extends
through 2017, and severance for terminated employees with extended payouts, the
majority of which will be paid by the second quarter of 2003.

NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES
The tax effects of principal temporary differences between the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities and their tax bases are summarized in the table below.
Management believes it is more likely than not that the results of future
operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize deferred tax
assets, except for certain foreign tax credit, net operating loss carryforwards
and other basis adjustments for which Armstrong has provided a valuation
allowance of $228.8 million. The $4.9 million of U.S. foreign tax credits will
expire in 2005. Armstrong has $1,864.0 million of state net operating losses
with expirations between 2003 and 2022, and $187.9 million of foreign net
operating losses, which will be carried forward indefinitely. The valuation
allowance increased by $47.9 million primarily due to additional foreign and
state net operating losses and other basis adjustments.

At December 31, 2002, unremitted earnings of subsidiaries outside the U.S. were
$244.5 million (at December 31, 2002 balance sheet exchange rates). Armstrong
expects to repatriate $77.0 million of earnings for which $27.0 million of U.S.
taxes were provided in 2000. No U.S. taxes have been provided on the remaining
unremitted earnings as it is Armstrong's intention to invest these earnings
permanently. If such earnings were to be remitted without offsetting tax credits
in the U.S., withholding taxes would be $4.5 million. The 2002 tax provision
includes benefits from the completion of various domestic and foreign tax
examinations. The 2001 tax provision reflects the reversal of certain state tax
and other accruals no longer required due to the completion of state tax audits
and/or expiration of statues of limitation partially offset by certain
nondeductible expenses.

On November 1, 2002, the Court announced it had approved AWI's motion to reduce
the amount of its DIP Facility from $200 million to $75 million, eliminate the
revolving credit borrowing feature, retain the letter of credit issuance
facility and extend the maturity date to December 8, 2003. Obligations under the
DIP Facility to reimburse drawing upon the letters of credit constitute a
superpriority administrative expense claim in the Chapter 11 Case. As of
December 31, 2002 and 2001, AWI had approximately $28.7 million and $8.4
million, respectively, in letters of credit which were issued pursuant to the
DIP Facility.

Other debt includes an $18.6 million zero-coupon note due in 2013 that was fully
amortized to its face value due to the Chapter 11 filing.

In addition, Armstrong's foreign subsidiaries have approximately $45.2 million
of unused short-term lines of credit available from banks. The credit lines are
subject to immaterial annual commitment fees.

NOTE 18. PENSION AND OTHER BENEFIT PROGRAMS
Armstrong and a number of its subsidiaries have pension plans and postretirement
medical and insurance benefit plans covering eligible employees worldwide.
Armstrong also has defined-contribution pension plans (including the Retirement
Savings and Stock Ownership Plan, as described in Note 24) for eligible
employees. Benefits from pension plans, which cover substantially all employees
worldwide, are based on an employee's compensation and years of service. When
necessary, pension plans are funded by Armstrong. Postretirement benefits are
funded by Armstrong on a pay-as-you-go basis, with the retiree paying a portion
of the cost for health care benefits by means of deductibles and contributions.
Armstrong announced in 1989 and 1990 a 15-year phase-out of its health care
benefits for certain future retirees. These future retirees include parent
company nonunion employees and some union employees. Shares of RSSOP common
stock were allocated to eligible active employees through June 2000, based on
employee age and years to expected retirement, to help employees offset their
future postretirement medical costs. The RSSOP was amended in November 2000 to
suspend future allocations and in December 2000, Armstrong used cash to fund
this benefit. In 2001, an equity share allocation was made to all eligible
active full-time employees as of July 26, 2001. The allocation was made as a
result of Armstrong's forgiveness of loans receivable from the RSSOP.

Effective November 1, 2000, an amendment to the Retirement Income Plan (RIP), a
qualified U.S. defined benefit plan, established an additional benefit known as
the ESOP Pension Account to partially compensate active employee and retiree
ESOP participants for the decline in the market value of Armstrong's stock. The
effect of this amendment had no material impact to the financial position or
results of operations in 2000, but increased the benefit obligation by $92.2
million and decreased the pension credit by $11.7 million in 2001. The RIP
document was revised to reflect these changes.

The following tables summarize the balance sheet impact, as well as the benefit
obligations, assets, funded status and rate assumptions associated with the
pension and postretirement benefit plans. The plan assets are primarily stocks,
mutual funds and bonds. Included in these assets were 1,426,751 shares of AHI
common stock at year-end 2002 and 2001. The pension benefits disclosures include
both the RIP and the Retirement Benefit Equity Plan, which is a nonqualified,
unfunded plan designed to provide pension benefits in excess of the limits
defined under Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable
and accrued expenses, short-term debt and current installments of long-term debt
approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The fair value estimates of long-term debt were based upon quotes from major
financial institutions taking into consideration current rates offered to
Armstrong for debt of the same remaining maturities. The fair value estimates of
foreign currency contract obligations are estimated from national exchange
quotes. The fair value estimates of natural gas contracts are estimated by
obtaining quotes from major financial institutions and energy companies.

Armstrong utilizes lines of credit and other commercial commitments in order to
ensure that adequate funds are available to meet operating requirements. On
December 31, 2002, Armstrong's foreign subsidiaries had available lines of
credit totaling $51.1 million, of which $5.9 million was used, leaving $45.2
million of unused lines of credit for borrowing on December 31, 2002.

On December 31, 2002, Armstrong had outstanding letters of credit totaling $59.6
million, of which $28.7 million was issued under the DIP Facility. The DIP
Facility had $46.3 million that remained available for issuance of letters of
credit as of December 31, 2002. Letters of credit are issued to third party
suppliers, insurance and financial institutions and can only be drawn upon in
the event of Armstrong's failure to pay its obligations to the beneficiary.
Standby letters of credit are currently arranged through AWI's DIP Facility with
JP Morgan Chase. Certain standby letters of credit arranged with Wachovia and
Bank of America prior to the Filing have been extended to their respective
expiration dates.

NOTE 20. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Armstrong is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange
rates, interest rates and commodity prices that could impact its results of
operations and financial condition. Armstrong uses financial instruments,
including fixed and variable rate debt, as well as swap, forward and option
contracts to finance its operations and to hedge interest rate, currency and
commodity exposures. Armstrong regularly monitors developments in the capital
markets and only enters into currency and swap transactions with established
counter-parties having investment grade ratings. Exposure to individual
counterparties is controlled, and thus Armstrong considers the risk of
counterparty default to be negligible. Swap, forward and option contracts are
entered into for periods consistent with underlying exposure and do not
constitute positions independent of those exposures. Armstrong uses derivative
financial instruments as risk management tools and not for speculative trading
purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a
diversified group of major financial institutions and energy companies in order
to manage Armstrong's exposure to nonperformance on such instruments.

Interest Rate Risk - Due to AWI's Chapter 11 Filing, all affected debt was
classified as liabilities subject to compromise and there were no open interest
rate derivatives as of December 31, 2002 and 2001.

                                      142

<PAGE>

Currency Rate Risk - Armstrong manufactures and sells its products in a number
of countries throughout the world and, as a result, is exposed to movements in
foreign currency exchange rates. To a large extent, Armstrong's global
manufacturing and sales provide a natural hedge of foreign currency exchange
rate movement, as foreign currency expenses generally offset foreign currency
revenues. At December 31, 2002, Armstrong's major foreign currency exposures are
to the Canadian dollar, the Euro and the British pound.

Armstrong has used foreign currency forward exchange contracts and purchased
options to reduce its exposure to the risk that the eventual net cash inflows
and outflows, resulting from the sale of product to foreign customers and
purchases from foreign suppliers, will be adversely affected by changes in
exchange rates. These derivative instruments are used for forecasted
transactions and are classified as cash flow hedges. These transactions allow
Armstrong to further reduce its overall exposure to exchange rate movements,
since the gains and losses on these contracts offset losses and gains on the
transactions being hedged. Gains and losses on these instruments are deferred in
other comprehensive income until the underlying transaction is recognized in
earnings. The net fair value of these instruments at December 31, 2002 was an
asset of $1.7 million, all of which is expected to be charged to earnings in the
next twelve months. The earnings impact is reported in either net sales or cost
of goods sold to match the underlying transaction being hedged. The earnings
impact of these hedges was not material during 2002.

Armstrong also uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge
exposures created by cross-currency inter-company loans. The underlying
inter-company loans are classified as short-term and translation adjustments
related to these loans are recorded in other income. The related derivative
contracts are classified as fair value hedges and the offsetting gains and
losses on these contracts are also recorded in other income. The fair value of
these instruments at December 31, 2002 was a $6.3 million liability, all of
which is expected to be charged to earnings in the next twelve months. During
2002, the net earnings impact of these hedges was $0.3 million, recorded in
other income, which was comprised of a loss of approximately $27.7 million from
the foreign currency forward exchange contracts substantially offset by the 2002
translation adjustment of approximately $28.0 million for the underlying
inter-company loans.

Commodity Price Risk - Armstrong purchases natural gas for use in the
manufacture of ceiling tiles and other products and to heat many of its
facilities. As a result, Armstrong is exposed to movements in the price of
natural gas. Armstrong has a policy of minimizing cost volatility by purchasing
natural gas forward contracts, purchased call options, and zero-cash collars.
These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. The mark-to-market gain or
loss on qualifying hedges is included in other comprehensive income to the
extent effective, and reclassified into cost of goods sold in the period during
which the underlying products are sold. The mark-to-market gains or losses on
ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in cost of goods sold immediately.
The fair value of these instruments at December 31, 2002 was a $3.9 million
asset, of which $3.3 million is expected to be charged to earnings in the next
twelve months. The earnings impact of hedges that matured during 2002, recorded
in cost of goods sold, was a $2.4 million expense. The earnings impact of the
ineffective portion of these hedges was not material during 2002.

NOTE 21. GUARANTEES
As of December 31, 2002, Armstrong maintained agreements with the lending
institutions of several of its distributors. Under these agreements, if a
distributor were to default on its borrowings and the lender foreclosed on the
assets, the bank could return a large part of any Armstrong product still at the
distributor (subject to certain quality and roll size minimums) for a refund of
original cost. The last agreement will expire in February 2004. At December 31,
2002, the amount of inventory held at these distributors was less than $8.0
million. No claim has been made under any of these agreements and Armstrong does
not anticipate any such claims in the future. As such, no liability has been
recorded for these agreements.

In disposing of assets through mid 2000, AWI and some subsidiaries had entered
into contracts that included various indemnity provisions, covering such matters
as taxes, environmental liabilities and asbestos and other litigation. Some of
these contracts had exposure limits, but many did not. Due to the nature of the
indemnities, there is no way to estimate the potential maximum exposure under
these contracts. As a debtor-in-possession, for those contracts that are still
executory where AWI was the sole guarantor, AWI anticipates rejecting those
contracts effective the date of Filing. Parties having claims under those
contracts could have filed claims in AWI's Chapter 11 Case, which will be dealt
with as part of the Case. AWI cannot estimate the value of any potential claims
that will ultimately be allowed by the Court. See Note 1 regarding Proceedings
under Chapter 11.

Subsidiaries that are not part of the Chapter 11 Filing also entered into
certain contracts that included various indemnity provisions similar to those
described above. Since these subsidiaries are not part of the Chapter 11 filing,
these contracts continue to be in effect. Some of these contracts had exposure
limits, but many did not. Due to the nature of the indemnities, there is no way
to estimate the potential maximum exposure under all these contracts. For
contracts under which an indemnity claim has been received, a liability of $1.4
million has been recorded as of December 31, 2002. See Note 32 regarding
Litigation for additional information.

In September 1999, Armstrong sold its Textiles Products operations. As part of
the divestiture agreement, Armstrong transferred certain liabilities and assets
to the purchaser to cover pension payments earned by the workforce as of the
sale date. Armstrong also will reimburse the purchaser for such pension payments
that are not covered by the pension assets. In addition, Armstrong also agreed
to reimburse the purchaser for the tax impact of Armstrong's reimbursement of
the pension payments. This agreement has no termination date. As of December 31,
2002, Armstrong maintained a $1.2 million liability for this guarantee and the
maximum payments could be approximately $2.6 million, excluding any amounts paid
for tax reimbursement.

See Notes 4 and 24 for a discussion of the ESOP loan guarantee.

NOTE 22. PRODUCT WARRANTIES
Armstrong provides direct customer and end-user warranties for its products.
These warranties cover manufacturing defects that would prevent the product from
performing in line with its intended and marketed use. Generally, the terms of
these warranties range up to 25 years and provide for the repair or replacement
of the defective product. Armstrong collects and analyzes warranty claims data
with a focus on the historic amount of claims, the products involved, the amount
of time between the warranty claims and their respective sales and the amount of
current sales. The following table illustrates the activity for product
warranties for 2002:

NOTE 24. RETIREMENT SAVINGS AND STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (RSSOP)
In 1989, Armstrong established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") that
borrowed $270 million from banks and insurance companies, repayable over 15
years and guaranteed by AWI. The ESOP used the proceeds to purchase 5,654,450
shares of a new series of convertible preferred stock issued by Armstrong. In
1996, the ESOP was merged with the Retirement Savings Plan for salaried
employees (a defined-contribution pension plan) to form the Retirement Savings
and Stock Ownership Plan ("RSSOP"). On July 31, 1996, the trustee of the ESOP
converted the preferred stock held by the trust into approximately 5.1 million
shares of common stock at a one-for-one ratio.

The number of shares released for allocation to participant accounts has been
based on the proportion of principal and interest paid to the total amount of
debt service remaining to be paid over the life of the borrowings. Through
December 31, 2002, the RSSOP allocated 2,593,000 shares to participants that
remain outstanding, participants retired 1,831,000 shares, Armstrong contributed
an additional 437,000 shares from its treasury and the trustee purchased 243,000
shares on the open market to allocate to employees. As of December 31, 2002,
there were approximately 1,912,000 shares in the RSSOP that had yet to be
allocated to participants.

All RSSOP shares are considered outstanding for earnings per share calculations.
Historically, dividends on allocated shares were credited to employee accounts
while dividends on unallocated shares were used to satisfy debt service
payments.

Armstrong recorded costs for the RSSOP of $4.5 million in 2002, $3.5 million in
2001 and $10.5 million in 2000, which related to company contributions. During
the fourth quarter of 2000, AWI amended the RSSOP to provide for a cash match of
employee contributions in lieu of the stock match. Armstrong recorded an expense
of $4.5 million in 2002, $3.5 million in 2001 and $0.5 million in 2000 related
to the cash match.

See Note 32 for information regarding an audit by the Department of Labor.

The RSSOP currently covers parent company nonunion employees, some parent
company union employees, Wood Flooring salaried employees, and Cabinets salaried
employees.

On November 22, 2000, AWI failed to repay $50 million in commercial paper that
was due. Subsequently, the remaining ESOP bond principal balance of $142.2
million became immediately payable along with a $15.5 million interest and tax
make-whole premium. ESOP debt service payments have not been made since June
2000. As a result of the Chapter 11 filing, AWI's guarantee of these ESOP loan
obligations of $157.7 million is now classified as a liability subject to
compromise.

The trustee borrowed from AWI $7.3 million in 2000 and $12.9 million in 1999.
These loans were made to ensure that the financial arrangements provided to
employees remained consistent with the original intent of the RSSOP. Such loans
receivable were included as a component of shareholder's equity. In December
2000, in connection with the Chapter 11 Filing of AWI and default on RSSOP loan
obligations, Armstrong recorded an impairment charge of $43.3 million related to
these loans receivable in view of the fact that the only asset of the RSSOP
consisted of the stock of AHI which had diminished substantially in value. The
impairment was recorded as a component of Chapter 11 reorganization costs. In
July 2001, the Court in AWI's Chapter 11 Case authorized the Board of Directors
of Armstrong to forgive the entire amount of all principal and interest on
outstanding loans to the RSSOP.

NOTE 25. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
Awards under the 1993 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan ("1993 Plan") were made in
the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights in conjunction with stock
options, performance restricted shares and restricted stock awards. No
additional awards may be issued under the 1993 Plan.

During 1999, Armstrong adopted the 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("1999 Plan")
which replaced the 1993 Plan. The 1999 Plan is similar to the 1993 Plan in that
it provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock
options, stock appreciation rights, performance-restricted shares and restricted
stock awards. The 1999 Plan also incorporates stock awards and cash incentive
awards. No more than 3,250,000 shares of common stock may be issued under the
1999 Plan, and no more than 300,000 of the shares may be awarded in the form of
performance restricted shares, restricted stock awards or stock awards. The 1999
Plan does not allow awards to be granted after April 25, 2009. Pre-1999 grants
made under predecessor plans will be governed under the provisions of those
plans.

During 2000, Armstrong adopted the Stock Award Plan ("2000 Plan") to enable
stock awards and restricted stock awards to officers, key employees and
non-employee directors. No more than 750,000 treasury shares may be awarded
under the 2000 Plan. The 2000 Plan will remain in effect until the earlier of
the grant of all the shares allowed under the plan or termination of the plan by
the Board of Directors.

All of the three plans discussed above will be terminated upon the effective
date of AWI's plan of reorganization.

Approximately 1,702,000 stock options were cancelled as a result of a restricted
stock for stock option exchange program offered to employees in 2000. Employees
other than the CEO holding stock options were given a one-time opportunity to
exchange their stock options with exercise prices above $50 per share for shares
of AHI restricted stock based on specified conversion ratios. The shares issued
under this exchange program were issued under the 2000 Plan and were fully
vested by August 2002. Expenses related to this event were $0.1 million in 2002,
$0.7 million in 2001 and $1.5 million in 2000.

Options are granted to purchase shares at prices not less than the closing
market price of the shares on the dates the options are granted. The options
generally become exercisable in one to three years and expire 10 years from the
date of grant.

Performance restricted shares issuable under the 1993 and 1999 plans entitle
certain key executive employees to earn shares of AHI's common stock, but only
if the total company or individual business units meet certain predetermined
performance measures during defined performance periods (generally three years).
At the end of performance periods, common stock awarded may carry additional
restriction periods, during which time Armstrong will hold the shares in custody
until the expiration or termination of restrictions. Compensation expense is
charged to earnings over the performance period. There were no shares of
performance restricted common stock outstanding at December 31, 2002.

Restricted stock awards can be used for the purposes of recruitment, special
recognition and retention of key employees. No award of restricted stock shares
was granted in 2002. At the end of 2002, there were 143,433 restricted shares of
common stock outstanding with 2,613 accumulated dividend equivalent shares.

SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," permits entities to
continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net
earnings disclosures. Had compensation costs for these plans been determined
consistent with SFAS No. 123, Armstrong's net earnings would have been reduced
to the following pro forma amounts.

The increases in insurance and other benefit costs are primarily related to
increased medical benefit costs.

NOTE 27. LEASES
Armstrong rents certain real estate and equipment. Several leases include
options for renewal or purchase, and contain clauses for payment of real estate
taxes and insurance. In most cases, management expects that in the normal course
of business, leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases. As part of the
Chapter 11 Case, AWI must decide whether to assume, assume and assign, or reject
prepetition unexpired leases and other prepetition executory contracts. AWI has
been granted an extension until July 15, 2003 by the Court to make these
decisions with respect to prepetition unexpired leases of real property and this
date may be further extended. With respect to prepetition executory contracts
and unexpired leases not related to real estate, AWI has until confirmation of a
reorganization plan to make these decisions unless such time is shortened by the
Court. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustment
related to assumption or rejection of such agreements.

Rental expense was $20.5 million in 2002, $19.1 million in 2001 and $21.5
million in 2000. Future minimum payments at December 31, 2002, by year and in
the aggregate, having noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year were as
follows:

NOTE 31. RELATED PARTIES
Armstrong sold 65% of its ownership in its gasket products subsidiary, (now
known as Interface Solutions, Inc. or "ISI") on June 30, 1999. Armstrong still
retains 35% ownership of this business as of December 31, 2002. As part of the
divestiture, Armstrong agreed to continue to purchase a portion of the felt
products used in the manufacturing of resilient flooring from ISI for an initial
term of eight years. Currently, Armstrong is required to purchase at least 75%
of its felt requirements from ISI. The sale agreement also stipulated quarterly
felt price adjustments that are based upon changing market prices for the felt.
In October 2002, the agreement was amended to include a cap on increases for
2003 and 2004. Armstrong can purchase felt products from another supplier if
ISI's prices are more than 10% higher than another supplier's prices. Armstrong
and ISI are required to cooperate in product reformulation and new product
development, but Armstrong is free to seek alternatives to felt products.
Additionally, Armstrong receives nominal monthly payments from ISI for some
logistics and administrative services. ISI had filed a proof of claim in
Armstrong's Chapter 11 Case requesting payment for Armstrong's prepetition
obligations. This matter was settled in November 2002 with Armstrong receiving a
net payment of $0.2 million, with the Bankruptcy Court's approval.

NOTE 32. LITIGATION AND RELATED MATTERS
ASBESTOS-RELATED LITIGATION
AWI is a defendant in personal injury cases and property damage cases related to
asbestos containing products. On December 6, 2000, AWI filed a voluntary
petition for relief ("the Filing") under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
to use the court supervised reorganization process to achieve a final resolution
of its asbestos liability.

Asbestos-Related Personal Injury Claims
Prior to filing for relief under the Bankruptcy Code, AWI was a member of the
Center for Claims Resolution (the "Center") which handled the defense and
settlement of asbestos-related personal injury claims on behalf of its members.
The Center pursued broad-based settlements of asbestos-related personal injury
claims under the Strategic Settlement Program ("SSP") and had reached agreements
with law firms that covered approximately 130,000 claims that named AWI as a
defendant.

Due to the Filing, holders of asbestos-related personal injury claims are stayed
from continuing to prosecute pending litigation and from commencing new lawsuits
against AWI. In addition, AWI ceased making payments to the Center with respect
to asbestos-related personal injury claims, including payments pursuant to the
outstanding SSP agreements. AWI's obligations with respect to payments called
for under these settlements will be determined in its Chapter 11 Case.

                                      150

<PAGE>

A creditors' committee representing the interests of asbestos personal injury
claimants and an individual has been appointed to represent the interests of
future personal injury claimants in the Chapter 11 Case. AWI's present and
future asbestos liability will be addressed in its Chapter 11 Case rather than
through the Center and a multitude of lawsuits in different jurisdictions
throughout the U.S. It is anticipated that all of AWI's current and future
asbestos-related personal injury claims will be resolved in the Chapter 11 Case.

Asbestos-Related Personal Injury Liability
In evaluating its potential asbestos-related personal injury liability prior to
the Filing, AWI reviewed information provided by the Center including, among
other things, recent and historical settlement amounts, the incidence of past
and recent claims, the mix of the injuries of the plaintiffs, the number of
cases pending against it and the status and results of broad-based settlement
discussions. Based on this review, AWI developed an estimated range for its cost
to defend and resolve asbestos-related personal injury claims for six years,
through 2006. This estimated range was large due to the limitations of the
available data and the difficulty of forecasting with any certainty the numerous
variables that could have affected AWI's actual liability for this period. AWI
concluded that no amount within the range was more likely than any other, and
therefore reflected the low end of the range as the liability in the
consolidated financial statements, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.

It is expected that the Chapter 11 process will deal with all current and future
asbestos-related personal injury claims against AWI. There are significant
differences between the way the asbestos-related personal injury claims may be
addressed under the bankruptcy process and the historical way AWI's claims were
resolved. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion on how the Chapter 11 process may address AWI's asbestos-related
personal injury claims.

As of September 30, 2000, AWI had recorded a liability of $758.8 million for its
asbestos-related personal injury liability that it determined was probable and
estimable through 2006. Due to the increased uncertainty created as a result of
the Filing, the only change made to the previously recorded liability through
the third quarter of 2002 was to record October and November 2000 payments of
$68.2 million against the accrual. The asbestos-related personal injury
liability balance recorded at December 31, 2001 was $690.6 million, which was
recorded in liabilities subject to compromise.

As discussed previously, AWI filed an initial POR and disclosure statement with
respect to the POR during the fourth quarter of 2002. In March 2003, AWI filed
an amended POR and disclosure statement. The POR represents the product of
negotiations with and is supported by the Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants'
Committee, the Unsecured Creditors' Committee and the Future Claimants'
Representative. Based upon the foregoing, the discussions AWI has had with
representatives of such entities within the last several months and the hearings
held before the Court in the last several months, management now believes that
it is reasonably likely that the claims addressed in the POR will be satisfied
substantially in the manner set forth in the POR. As a result, AWI has concluded
that it can reasonably estimate its probable liability for asbestos-related
current and future personal injury claims. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of
2002, AWI recorded a $2.5 billion charge to increase the liability. The
asbestos-related liability of approximately $3.2 billion at December 31, 2002,
which was treated as subject to compromise, represents the estimated amount of
liability that is implied based upon the negotiated resolution reflected in the
POR, the total consideration expected to be paid to the Asbestos PI Trust
pursuant to the POR and a recovery value percentage for the allowed claims of
the Asbestos PI Trust that is equal to the estimated recovery value percentage
for the allowed non-asbestos unsecured claims. Pursuant to the POR, all current
and future asbestos-related personal injury claims will be channeled to the
Asbestos PI Trust for resolution and, upon emergence from Chapter 11,
reorganized AWI will not have any responsibility for the claims or participate
in their resolution.

AWI is unable to predict when and if this POR will be confirmed. Therefore, the
timing and terms of resolution of the Chapter 11 Case remain uncertain. As long
as this uncertainty exists, future changes to the recorded liability are
possible and could be material to AWI's financial position and the results of
its

                                      151

<PAGE>

operations. Management will continue to review the recorded liability in light
of future developments in the Chapter 11 Case and make changes to the recorded
liability if and when it is appropriate.

The $2.5 billion, fourth quarter 2002, charge to increase the asbestos-related
personal injury liability is before recognition of gains from the settlement of
liabilities subject to compromise, which will arise at a later date as a
consequence of the Chapter 11 process.

Collateral Requirements
During 2000, AWI had secured a bond for $56.2 million to meet minimum collateral
requirements established by the Center with respect to asbestos-related personal
injury claims asserted against AWI. On October 27, 2000, the insurance company
that underwrote the surety bond informed AWI and the Center of its intention not
to renew the surety bond effective February 28, 2001. On February 6, 2001, the
Center advised the surety of the Center's demand for payment of the face value
of the bond. The surety filed a motion with the Court seeking to restrain the
Center from drawing on the bond. The motion was not granted. On March 28, 2001,
the surety filed an amended complaint in the Court seeking similar relief. The
Center has filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Court has not
yet ruled on the Center's motion or the complaint. In addition, on April 27,
2001, AWI filed a complaint and a motion with the Court seeking an order, among
other things, enjoining the Center from drawing on the bond or, in the event the
Center is permitted to draw on the bond, requiring that the proceeds of any such
draw be deposited into a Court-approved account subject to further order of the
Court. Judge Alfred M. Wolin of the Federal District Court for the District of
New Jersey, who is also presiding over AWI's Chapter 11 Case, indicated he would
determine these matters. Judge Wolin has not yet ruled on these matters.

Asbestos-Related property Damage Litigation
Over the years, AWI was one of many defendants in asbestos-related property
damage claims that were filed by public and private building owners, with six
claims pending as of June 30, 2001. The claims that were resolved prior to the
Filing resulted in aggregate indemnity obligations of less than $10 million. To
date, all payments of these obligations have been entirely covered by insurance.
The pending cases present allegations of damage to the plaintiffs' buildings
caused by asbestos-containing products and generally seek compensatory and
punitive damages and equitable relief, including reimbursement of expenditures
for removal and replacement of such products. In the second quarter of 2000, AWI
was served with a lawsuit seeking class certification of Texas residents who own
property with asbestos-containing products. This case includes allegations that
AWI asbestos-containing products caused damage to buildings and generally seeks
compensatory damages and equitable relief, including testing, reimbursement for
removal and diminution of property value. AWI vigorously denies the validity of
the allegations against it in these actions and, in any event, believes that any
costs will be covered by insurance.

Continued prosecution of these actions and the commencement of any new asbestos
property damage actions are stayed due to the Filing. In March 2002, the Court
allowed certain alleged holders of asbestos property damage claims to file a
class proof of claim against AWI. In July 2002, the Court denied the
certification of the proposed class and held that the plaintiffs' proof of claim
shall only be effective as to the named claimants. The plaintiffs' motion for
leave to appeal to the U.S. District Court was denied by Judge Wolin on October
3, 2002. As part of determining whether AWI asbestos containing resilient floor
covering products give rise to property damage liability, the Court conducted an
initial hearing on September 26 - 27, 2002 to decide the type of scientific
testing allowable under the Federal Rules of Evidence to prove or disprove
whether such products cause building contamination. On October 22, 2002, the
Court granted AWI's requested relief and ruled that the methodology offered by
the Asbestos Property Damage Committee in support of its claims is not a
scientifically valid method of quantifying the level of asbestos contamination
in a building. On November 1, 2002, the Court directed that all property damage
claimants provide, in support of their claims, substantiation that Armstrong
flooring products were used in the claimants' buildings. The Court's deadline
for submission of such product identification documentation was February 10,
2003. Prior to the Court's deadline, AWI reached an agreement in principle to
settle approximately 360 property damage claims, which alleged damages of $0.2
billion, for $2 million. Any amounts to be paid are expected to be funded by
insurance. This settlement is subject to the Court's approval, which is
scheduled to be heard by the Court on April 4,

                                      152

<PAGE>

2003. Additionally, 130 property damage claims have been disallowed or
withdrawn. Approximately 100 property damage claims totaling $0.6 billion will
remain unresolved if the settlement is approved. Only 26 of these 100 remaining
property damage claims submitted product identification by the February 10, 2003
deadline referred to above.

Consistent with prior periods and due to increased uncertainty, AWI has not
recorded any liability related to asbestos-related property damage claims as of
December 31, 2002. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for
further discussion of property damage claims in the Chapter 11 Case. A separate
creditors' committee representing the interests of property damage asbestos
claimants has been appointed in the Chapter 11 Case.

Insurance Recovery Proceedings
A substantial portion of AWI's primary and excess remaining insurance asset is
nonproducts (general liability) insurance for personal injury claims, including
among others, those that involve alleged exposure during AWI's installation of
asbestos insulation materials. AWI has entered into settlements with a number of
the carriers resolving its coverage issues. However, an alternative dispute
resolution ("ADR") procedure was commenced against certain carriers to determine
the percentage of resolved and unresolved claims that are nonproducts claims, to
establish the entitlement to such coverage and to determine whether and how much
reinstatement of prematurely exhausted products hazard insurance is warranted.
The nonproducts coverage potentially available is substantial and includes
defense costs in addition to limits.

During 1999, AWI received preliminary decisions in the initial phases of the
trial proceeding of the ADR, which were generally favorable to AWI on a number
of issues related to insurance coverage. However, during the first quarter of
2001, a new trial judge was selected for the ADR. The new trial judge conducted
hearings in 2001 and determined not to rehear matters decided by the previous
judge. In the first quarter of 2002, the new trial judge concluded the ADR trial
proceeding with findings in favor of AWI on substantially all key issues.
Liberty Mutual, the only insurer that is still a party to the ADR, has appealed
that final judgment. Appellate argument originally scheduled for October 2002
was adjourned and was held on March 11, 2003. In July 2002, AWI filed a lawsuit
against Liberty Mutual in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment with respect to
certain policy issues not subject to binding ADR.

One of the insurance carriers, Reliance Insurance Company, was placed under an
order of liquidation by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department during October
2001 due to financial difficulties. The order of liquidation prohibits Reliance
from making any claim payments under the insurance policies until the
liquidation occurs. AWI intends to file a proof of claim against Reliance by the
December 2003 deadline. It is uncertain when AWI will receive proceeds from
Reliance under these insurance policies.

Another insurer, Century Indemnity Company, who previously settled its coverage
issues with AWI, has made some of its required payments under the settlement to
a trust of which AWI is a beneficiary. During January 2002, this insurer filed
an adversary action in AWI's Chapter 11 Case. Among other things, the action
requests the Court to (1) declare that the settlement agreement is an executory
contract and to compel assumption or rejection of the agreement; (2) declare
that the insurer need not make its present and future scheduled payments unless
AWI assumes the agreement; (3) declare that the insurer is entitled to
indemnification from AWI against any liabilities that the insurer may incur in
certain unrelated litigation in which the insurer is involved; and (4) enjoin
the disposition of funds previously paid by the insurer to the trust pending an
adjudication of the insurer's rights. These issues are before the Court for
determination and AWI believes it is highly unlikely the insurer will prevail in
this matter.

On March 5, 2003, the New Hampshire Insurance Department placed The Home
Insurance Company ("Home") under an order of rehabilitation. Less than $10
million of AWI's recorded insurance asset is based on policies with Home, which
management believes is still probable of recovery.

                                      153

<PAGE>

Insurance Asset
An insurance asset in respect of asbestos personal injury claims in the amount
of $198.1 million is recorded as of December 31, 2002 compared to $214.1 million
as of December 31, 2001. Of the total recorded asset at December 31, 2002,
approximately $35.7 million represents partial settlement for previous claims
that will be paid in a fixed and determinable flow and is reported at its net
present value discounted at 6.50%. The total amount recorded reflects AWI's
belief in the availability of insurance in this amount, based upon AWI's success
in insurance recoveries, settlement agreements that provide such coverage, the
nonproducts recoveries by other companies and the opinion of outside counsel.
Such insurance is either available through settlement or probable of recovery
through negotiation, litigation or resolution of the ADR process. Depending on
further progress of the ADR, activities such as settlement discussions with
insurance carriers party to the ADR and those not party to the ADR, the final
determination of coverage shared with ACandS (the former AWI insulation
contracting subsidiary that was sold in August 1969 and which filed for relief
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in September 2002) and the financial
condition of the insurers, AWI may revise its estimate of probable insurance
recoveries. Approximately $80 million of the $198.1 million asset is determined
from agreed coverage in place and is therefore directly related to the amount of
the liability. Of the $198.1 million asset, $24.0 million has been recorded as a
current asset as of December 31, 2002 reflecting management's estimate of the
minimum insurance payments to be received in the next 12 months. As of February
2003, approximately $8.0 million of the $24.0 million current asset is past due
based on a previous settlement agreement. AWI believes collection of the full
amount is still probable and therefore has not established a reserve against
these receivables.

A significant part of the recorded asset relates to insurance that AWI believes
is probable and will be obtained through settlements with the various carriers.
Although AWI revised its recorded asbestos liability by $2.5 billion in the
fourth quarter of 2002, there was no increase recorded in the estimated
insurance recovery asset. While AWI believes that the process of resolving
disputed insurance coverage may result in higher settlement amounts than
recorded, there has been no increase in the recorded amounts due to the
uncertainties remaining in the process. Accordingly, this asset could change
significantly based upon resolution of the issues. Management estimates that the
timing of future cash payments for the recorded asset may extend beyond 10
years.

Cash Flow Impact
As a result of the Chapter 11 Filing, AWI did not make any payments for
asbestos-related claims in 2002 or 2001. AWI received $16.0 million and $32.2
million in asbestos-related insurance recoveries during 2002 and 2001,
respectively. During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case, AWI does not expect to
make any further cash payments for asbestos-related claims, but AWI expects to
continue to receive insurance proceeds under the terms of various settlement
agreements.

Conclusion
Based upon the events described above, management came to a belief that AWI's
asbestos-related liability will be settled substantially in the manner set forth
in the POR. As a result, AWI recorded a $2.5 billion charge to increase its
estimate of probable asbestos-related liability to approximately $3.2 billion at
December 31, 2002, which was treated as subject to compromise. The fourth
quarter charge was determined by calculating an implied liability based upon the
provisions of the POR and Disclosure Statement. However no change was made to
the estimated asbestos-related insurance recovery asset. Many uncertainties
continue to exist about the matters impacting AWI's asbestos-related liability
and insurance asset. These uncertainties include the impact of the Filing and
the Chapter 11 process, the number of future claims to be filed, the ultimate
value of the asbestos liability, the impact of any potential legislation, the
impact of the ADR proceedings on the insurance asset and the financial condition
of AWI's insurance carriers. Additionally, although a POR and Disclosure
Statement have been filed with the Court, implementation of the POR is subject
to confirmation of the POR in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code. AWI is unable to predict when and if the POR will be confirmed. Therefore,
the timing and terms of resolution of the Chapter 11 Case remain uncertain. As
long as this uncertainty exists, future changes to the recorded liability and
insurance asset are possible and could be material to AWI's financial position
and the results of its operations. Management will continue to review the

                                      154

<PAGE>

recorded liability and insurance asset in light of future developments in the
Chapter 11 Case and make changes to the recorded amounts if and when it is
appropriate.

Environmental Matters
Most of Armstrong's manufacturing and certain of Armstrong's research facilities
are affected by various federal, state and local environmental requirements
relating to the discharge of materials or the protection of the environment.
Armstrong has made, and intends to continue to make, necessary expenditures for
compliance with applicable environmental requirements at its operating
facilities. Armstrong incurred capital expenditures of approximately $4.5
million in 2002, $6.8 million in 2001 and $6.2 million in 2000 associated with
environmental compliance and control facilities. Armstrong anticipates that
annual expenditures for those purposes will not change materially from recent
experience. However, applicable environmental laws continue to change. As a
result of continuous changes in regulatory requirements, Armstrong cannot
predict with certainty future capital expenditures associated with compliance
with environmental requirements.

Armstrong is involved in proceedings under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("Superfund"), and similar state laws
at approximately 22 sites. In most cases, Armstrong is one of many potentially
responsible parties ("PRPs") which have potential liability for the required
investigation and remediation of each site, and which in some cases, have agreed
to jointly fund that required investigation and remediation. With regard to some
sites, however, Armstrong disputes the liability, the proposed remedy or the
proposed cost allocation among the PRPs. Armstrong may have rights of
contribution or reimbursement from other parties or coverage under applicable
insurance policies.

Armstrong has been remediating environmental contamination resulting from past
industrial activity at certain of its former plant sites. AWI's payments and
remediation work on such sites for which AWI is the potentially responsible
party is under review in light of the Chapter 11 Filing. The bar date for claims
from several environmental agencies has been extended into the first quarter of
2003.

Estimates of Armstrong's future environmental liability at the Superfund sites
and current or former plant sites are based on evaluations of currently
available facts regarding each individual site and consider factors such as
Armstrong's activities in conjunction with the site, existing technology,
presently enacted laws and regulations and prior company experience in
remediating contaminated sites. Although current law imposes joint and several
liability on all parties at Superfund sites, Armstrong's contribution to the
remediation of these sites is expected to be limited by the number of other
companies also identified as potentially liable for site remediation. As a
result, Armstrong's estimated liability reflects only Armstrong's expected
share. In determining the probability of contribution, Armstrong considers the
solvency of the parties, whether liability is being disputed, the terms of any
existing agreements and experience with similar matters. The Chapter 11 Case
also may affect the ultimate amount of such contributions.

AWI is subject to a unilateral order by the Oregon Department of Environmental
Quality ("DEQ") to conduct a remedial investigation and feasibility study and
any necessary remedial design and action at its St. Helens, Oregon facility, as
well as the adjacent Scappoose Bay. AWI has denied liability for the Scappoose
Bay, but has cooperated with the DEQ regarding its owned property. Other
potentially responsible parties who are not yet subject to orders by the DEQ
include former site owners Owens Corning ("OC") and Kaiser Gypsum Company, Inc.
OC has entered into a settlement with the DEQ. Pursuant to the settlement, OC
will make a lump sum payment to the DEQ in exchange for contribution protection
(including protection against common law and statutory contribution claims by
AWI against OC) and a covenant not to sue. AWI has negotiated with the DEQ how
these funds will be made available for the investigation and remedial action for
the site. AWI has recorded an environmental liability with respect to the St.
Helens remedial investigations and feasibility study at its facility, but not
for Scappoose Bay because AWI continues to dispute responsibility for any
contamination in Scappoose Bay.

Liabilities of $21.2 million at December 31, 2002 and $16.6 million at December
31, 2001 were for potential environmental liabilities that Armstrong considers
probable and for which a reasonable estimate of the probable liability could be
made. Where existing data is sufficient to estimate the liability, that

                                      155

<PAGE>

estimate has been used; where only a range of probable liability is available
and no amount within that range is more likely than any other, the lower end of
the range has been used. As assessments and remediation activities progress at
each site, these liabilities are reviewed to reflect additional information as
it becomes available. Due to the Chapter 11 Filing, $11.4 million of the
December 31, 2002 and $6.4 million of the December 31, 2001 environmental
liabilities are classified as prepetition liabilities subject to compromise. As
a general rule, the Chapter 11 process does not preserve company assets for such
prepetition liabilities.

The estimated liabilities above do not take into account any claims for
recoveries from insurance or third parties. Such recoveries, where probable,
have been recorded as an asset in the consolidated financial statements and are
either available through settlement or anticipated to be recovered through
negotiation or litigation. The amount of the recorded asset for estimated
recoveries was $3.3 million and $3.8 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively.

Actual costs to be incurred at identified sites may vary from the estimates,
given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental liabilities.
Subject to the imprecision in estimating environmental remediation costs,
Armstrong believes that any sum it may have to pay in connection with
environmental matters in excess of the amounts noted above would not have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition, or liquidity, although the
recording of future costs may be material to earnings in such future period.
Armstrong recorded expense of $4.5 million, $2.1 million and $1.5 million for
the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Patent Infringement Claims
Armstrong is a defendant in two related lawsuits claiming patent infringement
related to some of Armstrong's laminate products. The plaintiffs have claimed
unspecified monetary damages. Armstrong is being defended and indemnified by its
supplier for all costs and potential damages related to the litigation.

Former Employees Claim
About 370 former Armstrong employees that were separated in two business
divestitures in 2000 have brought two purported class actions against the
Retirement Committee of AWI, certain current and former members of the
Retirement Committee, the Retirement Savings and Stock Ownership Plan (RSSOP),
AHI and the trustee bank of the RSSOP. The cases are pending in the United
States District Court (Eastern District of PA). Similar proofs of claim have
been filed against AWI in the Chapter 11 Case. Plaintiffs allege breach of
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) fiduciary duties and other
violations of ERISA pertaining to losses in their RSSOP accounts, which were
invested in Armstrong common stock. While AHI believes there are substantive
defenses to the allegations and while denying liability, AWI has reached an
agreement to settle this matter for $1.0 million, which will be allocated among
the approximate 370 former employees and treated as convenience claims in the
Chapter 11 Case. The settlement requires approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Department of Labor Discussions
Subsequent to an audit by the United States Department of Labor ("DOL"),
Armstrong has been informed that the DOL is challenging the validity of the use
of certain contributions to fund debt payments made by the Armstrong Employee
Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), as provided for by that plan. Armstrong is
cooperating with the DOL to address its questions and concerns about those
transactions. Armstrong believes that it fully complied with all applicable laws
and regulations governing the plan, and therefore has not recorded any liability
related to this matter.

Inquiries Concerning World Trade Center Collapse
Armstrong has received inquiries from parties (including the National Institute
of Standards and Technology or NIST) investigating the fire and collapse at the
World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001 concerning the types
and amounts of the company's products that were placed into the World Trade
Center towers over time. The products manufactured by the company that are
believed to have been placed in the World Trade Center site including the Tower
buildings in significant amounts included ceiling tile, floor tile (some
containing encapsulated asbestos fibers) and low temperature (non-

                                      156

<PAGE>

asbestos) pipe insulation. The company has not been made aware of any claim or
litigation relating to its products which were in place as of September 11,
2001.

Other Claims
Additionally, Armstrong, through AWI and AWI's subsidiaries, is involved in
various other claims and legal actions involving product liability, patent
infringement, distributor termination, employment law issues and other actions
arising in the ordinary course of business. While complete assurance cannot be
given to the outcome of these claims, Armstrong does not expect that any sum
that may have to be paid in connection with these matters will have a materially
adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or liquidity, however it
could be material to the results of operations in the particular period in which
a matter is resolved.

NOTE 33. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ARMSTRONG HOLDINGS INC. AND ARMSTRONG WORLD
           INDUSTRIES, INC.
The difference between the financial statements of AHI and Armstrong is
primarily due to transactions that occurred in 2000 related to the formation of
Armstrong Holdings, Inc. and stock activity.

                          Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors,
Armstrong World Industries, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Armstrong
World Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries ("the Company") as listed in the
accompanying index on page 58. In connection with our audits of the consolidated
financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule as
listed in the accompanying index on page 58. These consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Armstrong World
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our
opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation
to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents
fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern. As discussed in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, the
Company and two of its domestic subsidiaries filed separate voluntary petitions
for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United
States Bankruptcy Court on December 6, 2000. The Company has also defaulted on
certain debt obligations. Although the Company and these operating subsidiaries
are currently operating their businesses as debtors-in-possession under the
jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court, the continuation of their businesses as
going concerns is contingent upon, among other things, the ability to formulate
a plan of reorganization which will gain approval of the creditors and
confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court. The filing under Chapter 11 and the
resulting increased uncertainty regarding the Company's potential asbestos
liabilities, as discussed in Note 32 of the consolidated financial statements,
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and financial
statement schedule do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of these uncertainties.

As discussed in Note 12 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for goodwill and intangible assets in 2002.

ITEM 10.  DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Codes of Ethics
Armstrong has followed a code of ethics for many years. The Company began in a
small cork-cutting shop in 1860 in Pittsburgh under its Founder, Thomas
Armstrong. He was determined that his company act with fairness and in the
"balanced best interests (of) customers, stockholders, employees, suppliers,
community neighbors, government and the general public."

Armstrong was among the first American entrepreneurs to discard the old business
maxim of Caveat emptor--"Let the buyer beware"--and replace it by practicing the
principle of "Let the buyer have faith", which became an enduring motto for the
Company.

To memorialize this ethical foundation, in 1960 Armstrong adopted its Operating
Principles which incorporate the philosophy of Thomas Armstrong and his
successors:
     .    To respect the dignity and inherent rights of the individual human
          being in all dealings with people.
     .    To maintain high moral and ethical standards to reflect honesty,
          integrity, reliability, and forthrightness in all relationships.
     .    To reflect the tenets of good taste and common courtesy in all
          attitudes, words and deeds.
     .    To serve fairly and in proper balance the interests of all groups
          associated with the business - customers, stockholders, employees,
          suppliers, community neighbors, government and the public.

In 1992, the Company built on these Operating Principles and established its
"Code of Business Conduct", which all employees, including the Chief Executive
Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Controller, are required to
observe. That Code was updated in 2000, when the current version was introduced.

In 2002, the Company adopted an additional "Code of Ethics for Financial
Professionals", which applies to all professionals in the Company's finance and
controller functions worldwide, including the Chief Financial Officer, the
Controller, and the financial management of each of its business units.

These two Codes and the Company policies that they incorporate contain written
standards to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
     1.   honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual
          or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional
          relationships;
     2.   full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports
          and documents filed with the SEC and in other public communications;
     3.   compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
     4.   the prompt internal reporting of Code violations to an appropriate
          person; and
     5.   accountability for adherence to the Codes.

These Codes (and any amendments or waivers that may be allowed) are available to
the public through the Company's internet web site at www.armstrong.com.

(iii) Experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial

      issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of
      issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the registrant's
      financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more

(iv)  An understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulations require Company directors
and executive officers, and any persons beneficially owning more than ten
percent of its common stock to report to the SEC their ownership of this stock
and any changes in that ownership. SEC regulations also require these persons to
furnish the Company with copies of these reports. The proxy rules require the
Company to report any failure to timely file those reports in the previous
fiscal year.

Based solely upon review of copies of reports furnished to the Company and
written representations from its directors and executive officers that no other
reports were required, the Company believes that all of these filing
requirements were satisfied by Armstrong's directors and executive officers
during 2002.

Change in Control Agreements
Armstrong and AHI are partners to change in control ("CIC") agreements with a
group of senior executives, including M. D. Lockhart, C. W. Galbato, S. J.
Senkowski, J. N. Rigas and M. J. Angello. These agreements provide severance
benefits in the event of a change in control of AHI or its major subsidiary,
Armstrong World Industries, Inc. The purpose of the agreements is to foster
stability in AHI's management ranks in the face of a possible change in control.

The severance benefits are payable if the executive is involuntarily terminated
or terminates employment for good reason within three years following a change
in control. Good reason to terminate employment exists if there are significant
changes in the nature of the employment following the change in control. For
example, a reduction in compensation, a change in responsibility, or a
relocation of the place of employment would constitute significant changes. For
the most senior officers, the agreement includes a provision where the executive
may choose to terminate employment for any reason during the thirty-day period
beginning twelve months following a qualifying change in control and receive
severance benefits. The qualifying change in control must meet the definitions
in (2) and (3) shown below. The agreement has an automatic renewal feature,
meaning the agreements will continue in effect unless either Armstrong, AHI or
the executive elects not to extend the agreement.

For the purposes of these agreements, a change in control includes the
following: (1) acquisition by a person (excluding certain qualified owners) of
beneficial ownership of 20% or more of AHI's common stock; (2) change in the
composition of the Board of AHI, so that existing Board members and their
approved successors do not constitute a majority of the Board; (3) consummation
of a merger or consolidation of AHI, unless shareholders of voting securities
immediately prior to the merger or consolidation continue to hold 66-2/3% or
more of the voting securities of the resulting entity; and (4) shareholder
approval of a liquidation or dissolution of AHI or sale of substantially all of
AHI's assets.

Severance benefits under the agreements depend on the position the executive
holds, but generally include: (1) a lump severance payment equal to two or three
times the sum of the officer's annual base salary and the higher of either (a)
the officer's highest annual bonus earned in the three years prior to
termination or prior to the change in control, or (b) the annual target bonus
for the year in which the change in control occurs; (2) a lump payment of the
portion of the target incentive award calculated by multiplying the target award
by the fractional number of months completed in the performance award period;
(3) payment of remaining premium payments for split-dollar life insurance
policies; (4) enhanced retirement benefits payable as a lump sum; (5)
continuation of life, disability, accident and health insurance benefits for
three years following termination; (6) full reimbursement for the payment of
excise taxes; and (7) payment of legal fees in connection with a good faith
dispute involving the agreement.

The Bankruptcy Court in Armstrong World Industries' Chapter 11 case authorized
Armstrong World Industries to assume the CIC agreements subject to certain
modifications. The modifications limit in certain respects (i) what constitutes
a change in control under the CIC agreements; and (ii) with respect to the CIC
agreements for the most senior officers, what constitutes a qualifying change of
control that would enable the executive to terminate employment. If the POR
discussed in Item 1 of this 10-K report is approved and becomes effective, the
issuance of the stock of AWI according to the provisions of the POR will
constitute a change in control under the CIC agreements.

Employment Agreements
AHI and Armstrong World Industries entered into a three-year employment
agreement with Michael D. Lockhart effective August 7, 2000, in which Mr.
Lockhart agreed to serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
AHI at an initial base salary of $800,000 per year and a $5,000,000 one-time
signing bonus. This contract was subsequently approved by the Court in Armstrong
World Industries' Chapter 11 case. Portions of the signing bonus must be repaid
to AHI if Mr. Lockhart terminates employment for any reason other than death,
disability or good reason or is terminated for cause. The employment agreement
is automatically renewed for an additional one-year term on the third
anniversary of the date of the agreement and each successive anniversary, unless
AHI gives notice not to extend the agreement at least 180 days prior to the
anniversary date. If AHI terminates the employment agreement

                                       167

<PAGE>

with Mr. Lockhart without "cause" or if Mr. Lockhart terminates his employment
for "good reason" prior to the third year of the employment contract, Mr.
Lockhart is entitled to receive (1) a lump-sum cash payment equal to his base
salary, plus the higher of (i) his target bonus in the year of termination, or
(ii) the highest bonus award earned during the last three years, including the
year of termination, multiplied by either the number of years remaining in his
employment agreement or by two ("2"), whichever is larger and (2) continuation
of certain benefits for a period equal to the greater of two years or the
remaining term of the agreement. If AHI terminates the employment agreement with
Mr. Lockhart without "cause" or if Mr. Lockhart terminates his employment for
"good reason" after the third year of the employment contact, Mr. Lockhart is
entitled to receive (1) a lump-sum cash payment equal to his base salary, plus
the higher of (i) his bonus in the year of termination at target performance
levels, or (ii) the highest bonus award paid during the last three years,
multiplied by either the number of years remaining in his employment agreement
or by one ("1"), whichever is larger and (2) continuation of certain benefits.
Mr. Lockhart's employment agreement also contains a non-competition provision
that bars him from competing with AHI or any subsidiaries or affiliates for a
period of two years following his termination. The agreement also provides Mr.
Lockhart with the opportunity to participate in all short-term and long-term
incentive plans offered by AHI and AWI, including an annual cash incentive
opportunity and an annual long-term incentive award under AHI's long-term
incentive plan. The agreement further provides that the value of his annual
long-term incentive award on the grant date is required to equal 150% of Mr.
Lockhart's target annual cash compensation for the year.

Armstrong World Industries entered into an employment agreement with Chan W.
Galbato effective May 2, 2001, that was subsequently approved by the Court in
its Chapter 11 case. In the contract, Mr. Galbato agreed to serve as President
and Chief Executive Officer of Armstrong Floor Products Operations at an initial
base salary of $450,000 per year and a $200,000 one-time signing bonus. Mr.
Galbato is eligible to participate in the Company's annual bonus plan, the
Management Achievement Plan. The agreement also provides Mr. Galbato the
opportunity to participate in long-term incentive plans offered to senior
officers. The agreement calls for severance pay for Mr. Galbato at one and
one-half times the sum of the base salary and target bonus. During the period of
the Chapter 11 reorganization, Mr. Galbato is eligible to participate at the
maximum level in the cash retention and enhanced severance benefit programs of
Armstrong World Industries.

Severance Pay Plan for Salaried Employees
The Severance Pay Plan for Armstrong World Industries' Salaried Employees was
adopted in 1990. This plan is designed to cushion the effects of unemployment
for certain salaried employees. The benefits are payable if a covered employee
is terminated under certain circumstances. All salaried employees of AHI and
Armstrong World Industries, including the officers named in the Summary
Compensation Table, are eligible to participate in the plan. A participant will
be entitled to severance pay if they are terminated and an exclusion does not
apply. The employee is not entitled to severance pay if the reason for the
termination is the following: (1) voluntary separation; (2) the employee accepts
employment with the successor organization in connection with the sale of a
plant, unit, division or subsidiary; (3) the employee rejects the offer of a
position in the same geographic area at a base salary of at least 90% of the
employee's current salary made by AHI or Armstrong World Industries, their
subsidiaries or any successor organization; (4) misconduct; or (5)
unsatisfactory performance, unless otherwise approved by the Severance Pay
Committee. Severance benefits will be offset by payments made under CIC
agreements or individual employment agreements.

Under the plan, the scheduled amount of the payment is based on the employee's
length of service, reason for termination and base salary level. The amount of
the payment ranges from a minimum of two weeks base salary to a maximum of 39
weeks base salary. Subject to certain limitations, benefits may be paid by
salary continuation or lump sum payments. A participant may also choose a
combination of periodic and lump-sum payments. The Severance Pay Committee
retains the right to depart from the severance pay schedule where factors
justify an upward or downward adjustment in the level of benefits. In no event
may the severance benefit exceed two times the participant's annual
compensation.

/1)/ Cash incentive awards are earned on the basis of cumulative operating
     income (adjusted for working capital variance from budget) for 2002 and
     2003 measured against a pre-established target. The plan allows for certain
     costs to be excluded when measuring performance, including the impact of
     interest expense/income, bankruptcy-related expense/income, restructuring
     charges and significant unusual items. The Management Development and
     Compensation Committee has established an award achievement schedule that
     sets an upper limit on the payment amount at varying levels of financial
     performance. The threshold payout requires that Armstrong achieve 70% of
     the operating income target, below which no payment will be made. Cash
     payments earned will be paid in early 2004.

/2)/ Mr. Lockhart's cash incentive award will be earned on the basis of the
     company's 2003 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
     amortization (EBITDA) measured against 2001 EBITDA results. 60% of the
     target award will be earned in direct proportion to the ratio of 2003
     EBITDA to 2001 EBITDA capped at a ratio of 1.5. The remaining 40% of the
     target award will be earned in direct proportion to the ratio of (1) three
     times the increase in 2003 EBITDA over 2001 EBITDA to (2) 2001 EBITDA
     capped at a ratio of 1.0. The target and actual results exclude the impact
     of bankruptcy-related expense/income, restructuring charges and significant
     unusual items. No threshold performance level has been established. Cash
     payments earned will be paid in early 2004.
/3)/ Under the terms of the 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the maximum payment
     to any one participant pursuant to a Cash Incentive Award with respect to
     any one year is $3 million.

BENEFITS FROM RETIREMENT PLANS
The following table shows the estimated pension benefits payable to a
participant at normal retirement age under Armstrong's Retirement Income Plan
and Retirement Benefit Equity Plan. The Retirement Income Plan is a qualified
defined benefit pension plan. The Retirement Benefit Equity Plan is a partially
funded, nonqualified supplemental pension plan. It provides participants with
benefits that would otherwise be denied by reason of certain Internal Revenue
Code limitations on qualified plan benefits. The amounts shown in Table 5 are
based on compensation that is covered under the plans and years of service with
the Company and its subsidiaries.

/1./ Benefits shown assume retirement in 2002. The benefits are computed as a
     straight life annuity beginning at age 65 and are not subject to deduction
     for Social Security or other offsets.
/2./ Calculated as the average annual compensation in the three highest paid
     years during the 10 years prior to retirement. Annual compensation equals
     the total of the amounts reported under the columns captioned "Salary" and
     "Bonus" in the Summary Compensation Table (excluding the signing bonus and
     cash retention payments) as well as Armstrong contributions under the Bonus
     Replacement Retirement Plan.

The 2002 annual compensation and estimated years of service for plan purposes
for each of the executives named in the Summary Compensation Table were as
follows:

M. D. Lockhart - $1,821,188 (4.8 years); C.W. Galbato - $720,000 (12.5 years);
S. J. Senkowski - $617,523 (29.6 years); M.J. Angello - $492,994 (19.9 years)
and J. N. Rigas - $586,250 (20.8 years). Mr. Lockhart receives two years of
service credit for every one year of actual service toward the calculation of
his pension benefits under the Retirement Benefit Equity Plan. Estimated years
of service include credit for prior service awarded to C.W. Galbato (11 years),
M.J. Angello (14 years) and J. N. Rigas (17 years) upon their employment with
Armstrong. The Armstrong retirement benefit will be reduced by the value of any
defined benefit pension payable by previous employers for the respective period
of the prior service credit.

Special provisions apply if the Retirement Income Plan is terminated within five
years following an Extraordinary Event, as this item is defined in the Plan. In
that event, Plan liabilities will first be satisfied; then, remaining Plan
assets will be applied to increase retirement income to employees. The amount of

                                       170

the increase is based on the assumption that the employee would have continued
employment with Armstrong until retirement. The executives named in the Summary
Compensation Table would be entitled to this benefit.

Special provisions also apply in the event that a salaried member is terminated
other than for cause or resigns for good reason, as those terms are defined in
the plan, within two years following a change in control of Armstrong Holdings,
Inc. If those members have at least 10 years of service and are at least 50
years in age, they would be eligible for early retirement without certain normal
reductions applying. Those members would also receive some Social Security
replacement benefits. Members with 15 or more years of service would also
receive credit under the plan for an additional five years of service.

Compensation of Directors
AHI and Armstrong do not separately compensate directors who are employees for
services as a director. AHI and Armstrong pay directors a retainer of $50,000
per year. Shared directors receive only a single retainer. AHI directors receive
$1,200 for each Board and $1,000 for each Committee meeting attended. Shared
directors receive $1,200 for each Armstrong Board meeting attended and $1,000
for each Committee meeting attended only when there is no AHI Board or Committee
meeting held on the same day. The Audit Committee chairperson receives an annual
fee of $20,000 and the chairpersons of the Management Development and
Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Governance Committee each receive
an annual fee of $10,000. Other committee members receive the following annual
fees: Audit-$10,000; Management Development and Compensation Committee-$5,000;
and Nominating and Governance Committee-$5,000. AHI and Armstrong directors are
paid $2,500 per day plus reasonable expenses for special assignments in
connection with Board activity.

Management Development and Compensation Committee
The Management Development and Compensation Committee members are Jerre L. Stead
(Chairperson); Judith R. Haberkorn; John A. Krol; and Ruth M. Owades. Donald C.
Clark served as a Committee member during 2002 prior to his retirement from the
Board of Directors on October 14, 2002. The Management Development and
Compensation Committee establishes the overall philosophy and policies governing
compensation programs, including those subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code, for AHI and Armstrong management.
