                                     PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS

      Congoleum Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in
1986, but traces its history in the flooring business back to Nairn Linoleum Co.
which began in 1886. On March 11, 1993 (effective on February 28, 1993), the
business and assets of the Company and those of the Amtico Tile Division of
American Biltrite Inc. (the "Tile Division") were combined (the "Acquisition").
The Acquisition was effected through the organization of a new corporation,
Congoleum Holdings Incorporated ("Congoleum Holdings"), to which Hillside
Industries Incorporated ("Hillside Industries") contributed all of the
outstanding capital stock of Resilient Holdings Incorporated ("Resilient"), the
owner of all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, and to which
American Biltrite Inc. ("American Biltrite") contributed the assets and certain
liabilities of the Tile Division. Upon consummation of the Acquisition,
Congoleum Holdings owned all of the outstanding capital stock of Resilient,
which, in turn, owned all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, and
the Company owned the Tile Division. The assets and liabilities comprising the
Tile Division which were acquired by the Company in the Acquisition are held
directly by the Company. On February 8, 1995, the Company completed a public
offering of 4,650,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Offering"). Upon
completion of the Offering, the Company implemented a Plan of Repurchase
pursuant to which its two-tiered holding company ownership structure was
eliminated through the merger of Congoleum Holdings with and into the Company,
with the Company as the surviving corporation.

      Congoleum produces both sheet and tile floor covering products with a wide
variety of product features, designs and colors. Sheet flooring, in its
predominant construction, is produced by applying a vinyl gel to a flexible
felt, printing a design on the gel, applying a wearlayer, heating the gel layer
sufficiently to cause it to expand into a cushioned foam and, in some products,
adding a high-gloss coating. The Company also produces through-chip inlaid
products for both residential and commercial markets. These products are
produced by applying an adhesive coat and solid vinyl colored chips to a felt
backing and laminating the sheet under pressure with a heated drum. Tile
flooring is manufactured by creating a base stock (consisting primarily of
limestone and vinyl resin) which is less flexible than the backings for sheet
flooring, and transferring or laminating to it preprinted colors and designs
followed by a wearlayer and a urethane coating in some cases. Commercial tile is
manufactured by including colored vinyl chips in the pigmented base stock. For
do-it-yourself tile, an adhesive is applied to the back of the tile. The
differences between products within each of the two product lines consist
primarily of content and thickness of wearlayers and coatings, the use of
chemical embossing to impart a texture, the complexity of designs and the number
of colors. Congoleum also purchases wood laminates, sundries, and accessory
products for resale.

Raw Materials

      The principal raw materials used in the manufacture of sheet and tile
flooring are vinyl resins, plasticizers, latex, limestone, stabilizers,
cellulose paper fibers, urethane and transfer print


                                       3
<PAGE>

paper. Most of these raw materials are purchased from multiple sources. The
Company has had no difficulty in obtaining its requirements for these materials,
although significant price increases in certain materials have been experienced
at times.

      The Company believes that alternative suppliers are available for
substantially all of its raw material requirements. However, the Company does
not have readily available alternative sources of supply for specific designs of
transfer print paper, which are produced utilizing print cylinders engraved to
the Company's specifications. Although no loss of this source of supply is
anticipated, replacement could take a considerable period of time and interrupt
production of certain products. The Company maintains a raw material inventory
and has an ongoing program to develop new sources which will provide continuity
of supply for its raw material requirements.

Patents and Trademarks

      The Company believes that the Congoleum brand name, as well as the other
trademarks it holds, are important to maintaining competitive position. In 1993,
the Company sold the rights to the Amtico trademark in the United States and
began selling tile under the Congoleum brand name.

      The Company also believes that patents and know-how play an important role
in maintaining competitive position. In particular, the Company utilizes a
proprietary transfer printing process for certain tile products that it believes
produces visual effects that only one other competitor is presently able to
duplicate.

Distribution

      The Company currently sells its products through approximately 25
distributors providing approximately 88 distribution points in the United States
and Canada, as well as directly to a limited number of mass market retailers.
The sales pattern is seasonal, with peaks in retail sales typically occurring
during March/April/May and September/October. Orders are generally shipped as
soon as a truckload quantity has been accumulated, and backorders can be
canceled without penalty. At December 31, 2000, the backlog of unshipped orders
was $5.5 million, compared to $7.3 million at December 31, 1999.

      The Company considers its distribution network very important to
maintaining competitive position. While most of its distributors have marketed
the Company's products for many years, replacements are necessary periodically
to maintain the strength of the distribution network. Although the Company has
more than one distributor in some of its distribution territories and actively
manages its credit exposure to its customers, the loss of a major customer could
have a materially adverse impact on the Company's sales, at least until a
suitable replacement was in place. For the year ended December 31, 2000, two
customers each accounted for over 10% of the Company's sales. These customers
were its distributor to the manufactured housing market, LaSalle-Bristol, and
its distributor in the Western U.S., LDBrinkman & Co. Together, they accounted
for 44% of the Company's net sales in 2000.


                                       4
<PAGE>

      On September 25, 2000 the Company announced the appointment of Mohawk
Industries, Inc. as a distributor of its products throughout the continental
United States effective November 1, 2000. The Company also announced it would be
phasing out its distribution arrangements with LDBrinkman & Co.

Working Capital

      The Company produces goods for inventory and sells on credit to customers.
Generally, the Company's distributors carry inventory as needed to meet local or
rapid delivery requirements. Credit sales are typically subject to a discount if
paid within terms.

Product Warranties

      The Company offers a limited warranty on all of its products against
manufacturing defects. In addition, as a part of efforts to differentiate mid
and high-end products through color, design and other attributes, the Company
offers enhanced warranties with respect to wear, moisture discoloration and
other performance characteristics which increase with the price points of such
products.

Competition

      The market for the Company's products is highly competitive. Resilient
sheet and tile compete for both residential and commercial customers primarily
with carpeting, hardwood, melamine laminate and ceramic tile. In residential
applications, both tile and sheet products are used primarily in kitchens,
bathrooms, laundry rooms and foyers and, to a lesser extent, in playrooms and
basements. Ceramic tile is used primarily in kitchens, bathrooms and foyers.
Carpeting is used primarily in bedrooms, family rooms and living rooms. Hardwood
flooring and melamine laminate are used primarily in family rooms, foyers and
kitchens. Commercial grade resilient flooring faces substantial competition from
carpeting, ceramic tile, rubber tile, hardwood flooring and stone in commercial
applications. The Company believes, based upon its market research, that
purchase decisions are influenced primarily by fashion elements such as design,
color and style, durability, ease of maintenance, price and ease of
installation. Both tile and sheet resilient flooring are easy to replace for
repair and redecoration and, in the Company's view, have advantages over other
floor covering products in terms of both price and ease of installation and
maintenance.

      The Company encounters competition from domestic and, to a much lesser
extent foreign manufacturers. Certain of the Company's competitors, including
Armstrong in the resilient category, have substantially greater financial and
other resources than the Company.

Research and Development

      The Company's research and development efforts concentrate on new product
development, trying to increase product durability and expanding technical
expertise in the manufacturing process. Expenditures for research and
development for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $4.3 million,
respectively.

compared to $4.2 million and $3.8 million for the years ended December 31, 1999
and 1998,

Environmental Regulation

      Due to the nature of the Company's business and certain of the substances
which are or have been used, produced or discharged by the Company, the
Company's operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and
regulations relating to the generation, storage, disposal, handling, emission,
transportation and discharge into the environment of hazardous substances. The
Company, pursuant to administrative consent orders signed in 1986 and in
connection with a prior restructuring, is in the process of implementing cleanup
measures at its Trenton sheet facility under New Jersey's Environmental Clean-up
Responsibility Act, as amended by the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act.
The Company does not anticipate that the additional costs of these measures will
be material. In connection with the Acquisition of the Tile Division, American
Biltrite signed a similar consent order with respect to the Trenton tile
facility, and the Company agreed to be financially responsible for any cleanup
measures required. In 2000, the Company incurred capital expenditures of
approximately $6,000 for environmental compliance and control facilities.

      The Company has historically expended substantial amounts for compliance
with existing environmental laws and regulations, including those matters
described above. The Company will continue to be required to expend amounts in
the future, due to the nature of historic activities at its facilities, to
comply with existing environmental laws, and those amounts may be substantial
but should not, in the Company's judgment, have a material adverse effect on the
financial position of the Company. Because environmental requirements have grown
increasingly strict, however, the Company is unable to determine the ultimate
cost of compliance with environmental laws and enforcement policies.

Employees

      At December 31, 2000, the Company employed a total of 1,159 personnel
compared to 1,277 employees at December 31, 1999.

      The Company has entered into collective bargaining agreements with hourly
employees at three of its plants and with the drivers of the trucks that provide
interplant transportation. These agreements cover approximately 640 of the
Company's employees. The Trenton tile plant has a five-year collective
bargaining agreement which expires in May 2003. The Marcus Hook plant has a
five-year collective bargaining agreement which expires in November 2003. The
Trenton sheet plant has a five-year collective bargaining agreement which
expires in February 2006. The Finksburg plant has no union affiliation. In the
past five years, there have been no significant strikes by employees at the
Company and the Company believes that its employee relations are satisfactory.

Executive Officers of the Registrant

       The following information is furnished with respect to each of the
executive officers of the Company, each of whom is elected by and serves at the
pleasure of the Board of Directors. The business experience shown for each
officer has been his principal occupation for at least the past five years. Ages

Item 2.   PROPERTIES

      The Company owns four manufacturing facilities located in Maryland,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey and leases corporate and marketing offices in
Mercerville, New Jersey, as well as storage space in Trenton, New Jersey, which
are described below:

   Location                  Owned/Leased  Usage                Square Feet
   --------                  ------------  -----                -----------
   Finksburg, MD             Owned         Felt                   107,000
   Marcus Hook, PA           Owned         Sheet Flooring       1,000,000
   Trenton, NJ               Owned         Sheet Flooring       1,050,000
   Trenton, NJ               Owned         Tile Flooring          282,000
   Trenton, NJ               Leased        Warehousing            111,314
   Mercerville, NJ           Leased        Corporate Offices       47,082

      The Finksburg facility consists primarily of a 16-foot wide felt
production line.

      The Marcus Hook facility is capable of manufacturing rotogravure printed
sheet flooring in widths of up to 16 feet. Major production lines at this
facility include a 12-foot wide oven, two 16-foot wide ovens, a 12-foot wide
printing press and a 16-foot wide printing press.

      The Trenton sheet facility is capable of manufacturing rotogravure printed
and through-chip inlaid sheet products in widths up to 6 feet. Major production
lines, all six-foot wide, include an oven, a rotary laminating line and a press.
The examination, packing and warehousing of all sheet products (except products
for the manufactured housing segment) occur at the Trenton plant distribution
center.

      The Trenton tile facility consists of three major production lines, a
four-foot wide commercial tile line, a two-foot wide residential tile line and a
one-foot wide residential tile line.

      Productive capacity and extent of utilization of the Company's facilities
are dependent on a number of factors, including the size, construction, and
quantity of product being manufactured, some of which also dictate which
production line(s) must be utilized to make a given product. The Company's major
production lines were operated an average of 64% of the hours available on a
five-day, three-shift basis in 2000, with the corresponding figure for
individual production lines ranging from 2% to 104%.

      Although many of the Company's manufacturing facilities have been
substantially depreciated, the Company has generally maintained and improved the
productive capacity of these facilities over time through a program of regular
capital expenditures. The Company considers its manufacturing facilities to be
adequate for its present and anticipated near-term production needs.

Item 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      The Company is named, together with a large number (in most cases,
hundreds) of other companies, as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") in
pending proceedings under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), as amended, and similar state laws.
In two instances, although not named as a PRP, the Company has received a
request for information. These pending proceedings currently relate to seven
disposal sites in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut and Delaware
in which recovery from generators of hazardous substances is sought for the cost
of cleaning up the contaminated waste sites. The Company's ultimate liability in
connection with those sites depends on many factors, including the volume of
material contributed to the site, the number of other PRPs and their financial
viability, the remediation methods and technology to be used and the extent to
which costs may be recoverable from insurance. However, under CERCLA, and
certain other laws, as a PRP, the Company can be held jointly and severally
liable for all environmental costs associated with a site.

      The most significant exposure to which the Company has been named a PRP
relates to a recycling facility site in Elkton, Maryland. Two removal actions
were substantially complete as of December 31, 1998, however, the groundwater
remediation phase has not begun and the remedial investigation/feasibility study
related to the groundwater remediation has not been approved. The PRP group
estimated that future costs of groundwater remediation would be approximately
$26 million of which, based on waste allocations amongst members of the PRP
group, Congoleum's share was estimated to be approximately 5.5%. At December 31,
2000, the Company believes its probable liability, which has been recorded in
other liabilities, based on present facts and circumstances, to be approximately
$1.5 million. A corresponding insurance receivable of $1.2 million has been
recorded in other noncurrent assets. No other PRP sites are material on an
individual basis.

      The Company also accrues remediation costs for certain of the Company's
owned facilities on an undiscounted basis. Estimated total cleanup costs,
including capital outlays and future maintenance costs for soil and groundwater
remediation are primarily based on engineering studies.

      Although there can be no assurance, the Company anticipates that these
matters will be resolved over a period of years for amounts (including legal
fees and other defense costs) which the Company believes based on current
estimates of liability and, in part, on insurance coverage, and based on advice
from counsel, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position
of the Company.

      Asbestos-Related Liabilities: The Company is one of many defendants in
approximately 1,754 pending claims (including workers' compensation cases)
involving approximately 12,079 individuals as of December 31, 2000, alleging
personal injury from exposure to asbestos or asbestos-containing products. There
were 670 claims at December 31, 1999 that involved approximately 6,246
individuals. Activity related to asbestos claims during the years ended December
31, 2000 and 1999 was as follows:

   Claims at Dec. 31...............         1,754           670
   ----------------------------------------------------------------

      The total indemnity costs incurred to settle claims during 2000 and 1999
were $3.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively, which were paid by the
Company's insurance carriers, as were the related defense costs. Costs per claim
vary depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the alleged
exposure and the jurisdiction where the claim was litigated. As of December 31,
2000, the Company has incurred asbestos-related claims of $10.2 million, to
resolve claims of over 33,000 claimants, all of which have been paid by the
Company's insurance carriers. The average indemnity cost per resolved claimant
is $310. Over 98% of claims incurred by the Company have settled, on average,
for amounts less than $100 per claimant.

      Nearly all claims allege that various diseases were caused by exposure to
asbestos-containing products, including sheet vinyl and resilient tile
manufactured by the Company (or, in the workers' compensation cases, exposure to
asbestos in the course of employment with the Company). The Company discontinued
the manufacture of asbestos-containing sheet vinyl products in 1983 and
asbestos-containing tile products in 1974. In general, governmental authorities
have determined that asbestos-containing sheet and tile products are nonfriable
(i.e., cannot be crumbled by hand pressure) because the asbestos was
encapsulated in the products during the manufacturing process. Thus,
governmental authorities have concluded that these products do not pose a health
risk when they are properly maintained in place or properly removed so that they
remain nonfriable. The Company has issued warnings not to remove
asbestos-containing flooring by sanding or other methods that may cause the
product to become friable.

      The Company regularly evaluates its estimated liability to defend and
resolve current and reasonably anticipated future asbestos-related claims. It
reviews, among other things, recent and historical settlement and trial results,
the incidence of past and recent claims, the number of cases pending against it,
and asbestos litigation developments that may impact the exposure of the
Company. One such development, the declarations of bankruptcy by several
companies that are typically lead defendants in asbestos-related cases, may have
negatively impacted the Company's claim experience. The estimates developed are
highly uncertain due to the limitations of the available data and the difficulty
of forecasting the numerous variables that can affect the range of the
liability.

      During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company updated its
evaluation of the range of potential defense and indemnity costs for
asbestos-related liabilities and the insurance coverage in


                                       12
<PAGE>

place to cover these costs. As a result of the Company's analysis, the Company
has determined that its range of probable and estimable losses for
asbestos-related claims through the year 2049 is $35.1 million to $161.3 million
before considering the effects of insurance recoveries and before discounting to
present value. As discussed previously, it is very difficult to forecast a
liability for the Company's ultimate exposure for asbestos-related claims as
there are multiple variables that can affect the timing, severity, and quantity
of claims. As such, the Company has concluded that no amount within that range
is more likely than any other, and therefore has determined that the amount of
the gross liability it should record for asbestos-related claims is equal to
$35.1 million in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

      For a majority of the period that Congoleum produced asbestos-containing
products, the Company purchased primary and excess insurance policies that cover
bodily injury asbestos claims. The company believes that it has in excess of $1
billion primary and excess insurance coverage available as of December 31, 2000
to cover asbestos-related claims. To date, all claims and defense costs have
been paid through primary insurance coverage, and the Company anticipates that
primary insurance coverage will continue to cover these costs in the near
future.

      The same factors that affect developing forecasts of potential defense and
indemnity costs for asbestos-related liabilities also affect estimates of the
total amount of insurance that is probable of recovery, as do a number of
additional factors. These additional factors include the financial viability of
some of the insurance companies, the method in which losses will be allocated to
the various insurance policies and the years covered by those policies, and how
legal and other loss handling costs will be covered by the insurance policies.

      The Company has determined, based on its review of its insurance policies
and the advice of legal counsel, that approximately $20 million of the estimated
$35 million gross liability is highly probable of recovery. This determination
was made after considering the terms of the available insurance coverage and the
financial viability of the insurance companies. The Company believes that the
criteria to offset the estimated gross liability with this highly probable
insurance recovery, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles, have
been met. The balance of the estimated gross liability of $15 million has been
reflected in the balance sheet as a long-term liability. The Company has also
recorded in the balance sheet an insurance receivable of $7 million that
represents an estimate of probable insurance recoveries that do not qualify for
offsetting against the gross liability. This insurance receivable has been
recorded in other long-term assets.

      Since many uncertainties exist surrounding asbestos litigation, the
Company will continue to evaluate its asbestos-related estimated liability and
corresponding estimated insurance assets as well as the underlying assumptions
used to derive these amounts. It is reasonably possible that the Company's total
exposure to asbestos-related claims may be greater than the recorded liability
and that insurance recoveries may be less than the recorded asset. These
uncertainties may result in the Company incurring future charges to income to
adjust the carrying value of recorded liabilities and assets. Congoleum does not
believe, however, that asbestos-related claims will have a material adverse
effect on its financial position or liquidity.

Item 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
          RISK

      The Company is exposed to changes in prevailing market interest rates
affecting the return on its investments but does not consider this interest rate
market risk exposure to be material to its financial condition or results of
operations. The Company invests primarily in highly liquid debt instruments with
strong credit ratings and short-term (less than one year) maturities. The
carrying amount of these investments approximates fair value due to the
short-term maturities. Substantially all of the Company's outstanding long-term
debt as of December 31, 2000 consisted of indebtedness with a fixed rate of
interest which is not subject to change based upon changes in prevailing market
interest rates. Under its current policies, the Company does not use derivative
financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other financial
instruments to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates, commodity prices or equity prices.
