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 in this report and in any other
public statements made may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by
inaccurate assumptions we might 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. Also note the following cautionary
discussion of risks and uncertainties relevant to our businesses. These are some
of the factors that could potentially cause actual results to differ materially
from expected and historical results. Other factors besides those listed here
could also adversely affect our businesses.

.. 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").

.. Claims of undetermined merit and amount have been asserted against us for
various legal, environmental and tax matters, including AWI's asbestos
related litigation. For more information on these matters, see the
discussion of Legal Proceedings in Part II, Item 1 in this report.

.. Balancing investment to create future growth in the constraints of a
price-competitive market is a challenge.

.. Revenues and earnings can be affected by the level of success of new
product introductions.

.. A portion of our revenues and earnings are exposed to changes in foreign
currency exchange rates.

.. Notwithstanding our efforts to foresee and plan for the effects of changes
in fiscal circumstances, we cannot predict with certainty all changes in
currency and interest rates, inflation or other related factors affecting
our businesses. 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 Armstrong Holdings, Inc.
2001 Form 10-K.

.. International operations could be affected by 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, as well as by unstable
governments and legal systems, intergovernmental disputes and possible
nationalization.

3

.. Business combinations among our competitors or suppliers 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. And, of course, if we should enter into one or
more business combinations, our business, finances and capital structure
could be affected.

.. Growth in costs and expenses, raw material price increases (for example
increases in wood prices or in petroleum-based raw materials such as
plasticizers or PVCs), energy cost increases, changes in distribution and
product mix, and the impact of divestitures, restructuring and other
unusual items that could result from evolving business strategies and
organizational restructuring could affect future results.

.. Revenues and earnings could be affected by various worldwide economic and
political factors, changes in the competitive structures of the 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.

.. Revenues and earnings could be affected by the extent to which we
successfully achieve integration of and synergies from acquisitions.

.. 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 and/or business decisions made by our suppliers
could affect future results.

.. Revenues and earnings could be affected by business decisions and business
conditions that impact our major customers and distribution network. For
example, a significant portion of our revenue in North America comes from
sales to major home center retailers. Changes in their buying decisions
could affect our sales and profits.

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

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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.

Operating results for the second quarter and first half of 2002 and the
corresponding periods of 2001 included in this report are unaudited. However,
these condensed consolidated financial statements have been reviewed by AHI's
independent public accountants in accordance with established professional
standards and procedures for a limited review of interim financial information.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.

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, the
changed cash needs of AHI and a review of our European strategy. 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. See Note
5 for further information.

In accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 00-025,
"Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration from a Vendor to a
Retailer," effective January 1, 2002, AHI has reclassified $0.5 million and $0.3
million from selling, general and administrative expenses to a reduction of net
sales for the first and second quarters of 2001, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2002, AHI adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." In the second quarter
of 2002, AHI completed an assessment of goodwill 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 7 for further information.

Effective January 1, 2002, AHI adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets" which provides guidance on the accounting for the impairment or disposal
of long-lived assets. AHI's current results of operations and financial position
have not been affected.

9

The accounting policies used in preparing these statements are the same as those
used in preparing AHI's consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2001. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in AHI's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature have been
included to provide a fair statement of the results for the reporting periods
presented. Quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of annual earnings.

NOTE 2. CHAPTER 11 REORGANIZATION

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, one representing asbestos property damage claimants, and the other
representing other unsecured creditors, have been appointed in the Chapter 11
Case. In accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, they have the
right to be heard on matters that come before the Court in the Chapter 11 Case.

AWI intends to address all prepetition claims, including all asbestos-related
claims, in a plan of reorganization in its Chapter 11 Case. At this time, it is
impossible to accurately predict how such a plan will treat such claims and how
a plan will impact the value of shares of common stock of AHI. Under the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, holders of equity interests may not
participate under a plan of reorganization unless the claims of creditors are
satisfied in full or unless creditors accept a reorganization plan which permits
holders of equity interests to participate. The formulation and implementation
of a plan of reorganization in the Chapter 11 Case could take a significant
period of time. Currently, AWI has the exclusive right to file a plan of
reorganization until October 4, 2002, and this date may be further extended by
the Court.

Since AHI and AWI filed their Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31,
2002, there has been no substantive progress in AWI's negotiations with the
asbestos personal injury claimants and the unsecured creditors committees with
respect to the principal elements of a reorganization plan. It is not possible
to predict whether these negotiations will be successful. Therefore, the timing
of resolution of the Chapter 11 Case remains highly uncertain.

Bar Date for Filing Claims

The Court established August 31, 2001 as the bar date for all claims against AWI
except for certain 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 from the Chapter 11 Case. The Court had extended the bar date for
claims from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service until June 28, 2002, and a proof
of claim was received. The Court has also extended the bar date for claims from
several environmental agencies until the third quarter of 2002. In March 2002,
the Court allowed certain alleged holders of asbestos property damage claims to

10

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. A bar date for
asbestos-related personal injury claims has not been set.

Approximately 4,500 proofs of claim (including late-filed claims) totaling
approximately $6.0 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 1,200 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 $1.8 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. AWI
will address all asbestos-related claims in the future within the Chapter 11
process. See further discussion regarding AWI's liability for asbestos-related
matters in Note 10 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Approximately 600 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 will conduct 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. 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 10 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Approximately 1,700 claims totaling approximately $1.8 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. 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 in excess of amounts presently
recorded by AWI and will be material to AWI's financial position and the results
of its operations. However, AWI is not able to determine a range of possible
liability with any reasonable degree of accuracy, due to the uncertainties of
the Chapter 11 process, the in-progress state of AWI's investigation of
submitted claims and the lack of documentation submitted in support of many
claims.

Financing

As of June 30, 2002, AWI had no outstanding debt borrowings under its $200
million debtor-in-possession credit facility (the "DIP Facility") and AWI had
$200.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, excluding cash held by its
non-debtor subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2002, AWI had approximately $19.6
million in letters of credit which were issued pursuant to the DIP Facility.
Borrowings are limited to an adjusted amount of receivables, inventories and
PP&E. AWI believes that the DIP Facility, together with cash on hand and

11

generated from operations, will be adequate to address its foreseeable liquidity
needs. Borrowings under the DIP Facility, if any, and obligations to reimburse
draws upon the letters of credit constitute superpriority administrative expense
claims in the Chapter 11 Case. The DIP Facility is scheduled to expire on
December 6, 2002.

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 condensed 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 3 for detail of the liabilities subject to compromise at June 30, 2002 and
December 31, 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet based upon
maturity date. AWI's estimated liability for personal injury asbestos claims is
also recorded in liabilities subject to compromise. See Note 10 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 in the first six months of 2002 and 2001:

Six Months Ended Six Months Ended
(amounts in millions) June 30, 2002 June 30, 2001
- --------------------- -------------------- --------------------

Professional fees $ 14.0 $ 11.9
Interest income, post petition (1.7) (2.7)
Reductions to prepetition liabilities - (2.0)
Termination of prepetition lease obligation - (5.9)
Other expense directly related to bankruptcy, net 0.2 1.2
-------- ---------
Total Chapter 11 reorganization costs, net $ 12.5 $ 2.5
======== =========

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.

12

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 condensed consolidated financial
statements. Further, a plan of reorganization could materially change the
amounts and classifications reported in the condensed consolidated financial
statements.

NOTE 3. LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE

As a result of AWI's Chapter 11 filing (see Note 2), 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 condensed
consolidated balance sheet based upon maturity date. AWI's asbestos liability is
also recorded in liabilities subject to compromise. Prior to its Chapter 11
Filing, AWI estimated a range for the asbestos-related personal injury liability
AWI would most likely be subject to during the following six years, based upon a
variety of factors including historical settlement amounts, the incidence of
past claims, the mix of the injuries of the plaintiffs, the number of cases
pending against AWI and the status and results of broad-based settlement
discussions. This 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 liability. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Chapter 11 process
will address AWI's total liability for asbestos related personal injury claims,
which AWI never believed it could accurately estimate. There are significant
differences between the way asbestos-related personal injury claims may be
addressed in the bankruptcy process and the historical way AWI's claims were
resolved. Accordingly, AWI continues to be unable to accurately estimate its
total liability for asbestos-related personal injury claims. It is likely that
the total liability will be significantly higher than the recorded liability and
that this increased liability will be material to the financial statements. See
Note 10 for further discussion of AWI's asbestos liability.

Liabilities subject to compromise at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 are as
follows:

(amounts in millions) June 30, December 31,
2002 2001
--------- ------------

Debt (at face value) $ 1,400.7 $ 1,400.7

--------- ---------
Total liabilities subject to compromise $ 2,358.4 $ 2,357.6

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.

The decrease in the assets of the Wood Flooring segment is primarily due to the
$590.0 million goodwill impairment write down recorded as a cumulative effect of
a change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2002. See Note 7 for further
details.

NOTE 5. 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, the
changed cash needs of AHI and a review of our European strategy. Accordingly,
this segment is no longer classified as a discontinued operation and amounts
have been reclassified into operations as

14

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 recorded a pretax net loss of $34.5
million in the fourth quarter of 2000, $23.8 million net of tax benefit. AHI
also 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.

NOTE 7. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Effective January 1, 2002, AHI adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards 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.

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

NOTE 8. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER ACTIONS

The following table summarizes activity in the reorganization and restructuring
accruals for the first six months of 2002 and 2001:

(amounts in millions) Beginning Cash Ending
Balance Payments Charges Reversals Other Balance
-------- -------- ------- --------- ----- -------

2002 $ 8.9 $ (0.9) $ 2.3 $ - $ 0.4 $ 10.7
2001 22.2 (7.4) 3.8 (1.3) (6.7) 10.6

A $0.5 million pretax 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 pretax 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.

A $5.4 million pretax 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, 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.

17

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.

The amount in "other" for 2002 is primarily related to foreign currency
translation. In 2001, the amount in "other" 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 $5.9
million reversal is recorded as a reduction of Chapter 11 reorganization costs
in accordance with SOP 90-7. See Note 2 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
June 30, 2002 relates to rental commitments for unused space under the terms of
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 fourth quarter of 2002.

NOTE 10. LITIGATION AND RELATED MATTERS

OVERVIEW OF ASBESTOS-RELATED LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Asbestos-related Litigation

The following is a summary update of asbestos-related litigation; see Item 3 of
Armstrong's 2001 Form 10-K filing for additional information.

AWI is a defendant in personal injury claims and property damage claims 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 has been appointed 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

18

throughout the U.S. It is anticipated that all of AWI's present 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 condensed
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. Therefore, AWI is unable to accurately predict what the Chapter 11
process will determine is AWI's total liability nor reasonably estimate a range
of liability for 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, no change has been made to the previously recorded liability except
to record payments of $68.2 million against that accrual in October and November
2000. The asbestos-related personal injury liability balance recorded at June
30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 is $690.6 million, which is recorded in
liabilities subject to compromise. It is likely that the total liability as
determined in the Chapter 11 process will be significantly higher than the
recorded liability and the liability will be material to the financial
statements.

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-

19

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. As part of
determining whether AWI asbestos containing resilient floor covering products
give rise to property damage liability, the Court will conduct 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.

Consistent with prior periods and due to increased uncertainty, AWI has not
recorded any liability related to these claims as of June 30, 2002. See Note 2
for further discussion of the property damage claims in response to the August
31, 2001 claims bar date 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 is scheduled for October 2002. 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 a state 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.

20

Insurance Asset

An insurance asset in respect of asbestos personal injury claims in the amount
of $198.1 million is recorded as of June 30, 2002 compared to $214.1 million as
of December 31, 2001. Of the total recorded asset at June 30, 2002,
approximately $35.3 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, recent 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 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 June 30, 2002 reflecting management's estimate
of the minimum insurance payments to be received in the next 12 months.

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.
Due to the Filing, the settlement process may be delayed, pending further
clarification as to the asbestos liability. While AWI believes the Chapter 11
process will strengthen its position on resolving disputed insurance and may
therefore result in higher settlement amounts than recorded, there has been no
increase in the recorded amounts due to the uncertainties created by the Filing.
Accordingly, this asset could also change significantly based upon events which
occur in the Court. 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 in
asbestos-related insurance recoveries during the first six months of 2002 and
2001. 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

Many uncertainties exist about the financial impact of AWI's involvement with
asbestos litigation. 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. AWI has not revised its previously recorded
liability for asbestos-related personal injury claims. It is likely that no
changes will be made to the liability until later in the Chapter 11 Case.
Although not currently estimable, AWI's total exposure to asbestos-related
personal injury claims is likely to be significantly higher than the recorded
liability and to be material to the financial statements. Any adjustment to the
insurance asset could be material to the financial statements.

ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES

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 anticipates that annual expenditures for those purposes
will not change materially from recent experience. However, applicable federal
and state environmental laws continue to change. Until all new regulatory
requirements are known, Armstrong cannot predict with certainty future capital
expenditures associated with compliance with environmental requirements.

21

As with many industrial companies, Armstrong is currently 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 also have rights of contribution or reimbursement
from other parties or coverage under applicable insurance policies. Armstrong
has also 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 third quarter of
2002.

Estimates of Armstrong's future environmental liability at any of the Superfund
sites or 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 any Superfund site, 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 costs. 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.
Owens Corning has entered into a settlement in principle with the DEQ. Pursuant
to the proposed 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 is currently negotiating with the DEQ regarding 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 $17.0 million at June 30, 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, $6.4 million of the June 30,
2002 and 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 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and are
either available through settlement or anticipated to be recovered through
negotiation or litigation.

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

22

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.

PATENT INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS

Armstrong is a defendant in lawsuits brought by two groups of plaintiffs
claiming patent infringement related to some of Armstrong's laminate and
resilient sheet flooring products. The plaintiffs have claimed unspecified
monetary damages in these claims. Additionally, Armstrong is being defended and
indemnified by its supplier in the laminate products claim. Armstrong denies the
allegations and believes it will prevail in these matters.

FORMER EMPLOYEES CLAIM

About 370 former Armstrong employees that were separated in two 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). A similar proof of claim has 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. Losses
are alleged to be in the range of several million dollars. AHI believes there
are substantive defenses to the allegations.

OTHER CLAIMS

Additionally, AHI, through AWI and AWI's subsidiaries, is involved in various
other claims and legal actions involving product liability, patent infringement,
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 its subsidiaries may have to pay
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 that a matter is resolved.

NOTE 11. ACQUISITIONS

During 2001, AHI spent $5.4 million to purchase some of the remaining minority
equity interest of majority owned entities consolidated within the Resilient
Flooring segment. Approximately $5.0 million of the purchase price was allocated
to goodwill.

NOTE 12. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ARMSTRONG HOLDINGS INC. AND ARMSTRONG WORLD
INDUSTRIES, INC.

The difference between the condensed consolidated financial statements is
primarily due to stock activity and intercompany transactions.

NOTE 13. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The difference between the average number of basic and diluted common shares
outstanding is due to contingently issuable shares and the effect of dilutive
stock options. Earnings per share components may not add due to rounding.

Independent Accountants' Review Report

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

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Armstrong Holdings, Inc., and subsidiaries ("the Company") as of June 30, 2002,
and the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the three and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows and shareholders' equity for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. These condensed consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for
them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of
Armstrong Holdings, Inc., and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001, and the
related consolidated statements of earnings, cash flows and shareholders' equity
for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February
22, 2002, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, is fairly stated,
in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from
which it has been derived.

Our report dated February 22, 2002, on the consolidated financial statements of
Armstrong Holdings, Inc., and subsidiaries as of and for the year ended December
31, 2001, contains an explanatory paragraph that states that 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, and that the filing under Chapter
11 and the increased uncertainty regarding the Company's potential asbestos
liability raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001,
does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties.

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

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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.

Operating results for the second quarter and first half of 2002 and the
corresponding periods of 2001 included in this report are unaudited. Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.

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 plans to permanently exit this
segment. This decision was based on the difficulty encountered in selling the
business, the changed cash needs of Armstrong and a review of our European
strategy. 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. See Note 5 for further information.

In accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 00-025,
"Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration from a Vendor to a
Retailer," effective January 1, 2002, Armstrong has reclassified $0.5 million
and $0.3 million from selling, general and administrative expenses to a
reduction of net sales for the first and second quarters of 2001, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2002, Armstrong adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." In the second quarter
of 2002, Armstrong completed an assessment of goodwill 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 7 for further information.

Effective January 1, 2002, Armstrong adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets" which provides guidance on the accounting for the impairment or disposal
of long-lived assets. Armstrong's current results of operations and financial
position have not been affected.

The accounting policies used in preparing these statements are the same as those
used in preparing Armstrong's consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2001. These condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements

29

and notes thereto included in Armstrong's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2001. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal
recurring nature have been included to provide a fair statement of the results
for the reporting periods presented. Quarterly results are not necessarily
indicative of annual earnings.

NOTE 2. CHAPTER 11 REORGANIZATION

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, one representing asbestos property damage claimants, and the other
representing other unsecured creditors, have been appointed in the Chapter 11
Case. In accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, they have the
right to be heard on matters that come before the Court in the Chapter 11 Case.

AWI intends to address all prepetition claims, including all asbestos-related
claims, in a plan of reorganization in its Chapter 11 Case. At this time, it is
impossible to accurately predict how such a plan will treat such claims and how
a plan will impact the value of shares of common stock of AHI. Under the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, holders of equity interests may not
participate under a plan of reorganization unless the claims of creditors are
satisfied in full or unless creditors accept a reorganization plan which permits
holders of equity interests to participate. The formulation and implementation
of a plan of reorganization in the Chapter 11 Case could take a significant
period of time. Currently, AWI has the exclusive right to file a plan of
reorganization until October 4, 2002, and this date may be further extended by
the Court.

Since AHI and AWI filed their Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31,
2002, there has been no substantive progress in AWI's negotiations with the
asbestos personal injury claimants and the unsecured creditors committees with
respect to the principal elements of a reorganization plan. It is not possible
to predict whether these negotiations will be successful. Therefore, the timing
of resolution of the Chapter 11 Case remains highly uncertain.

Bar Date for Filing Claims

The Court established August 31, 2001 as the bar date for all claims against AWI
except for certain 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 from the Chapter 11 Case. The Court had extended the bar date for
claims from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service until June 28, 2002, and a proof
of claim was received. The Court has also extended the bar date for claims from
several environmental agencies until the third quarter of 2002. 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. A bar date for
asbestos-related personal injury claims has not been set.

30

Approximately 4,500 proofs of claim (including late-filed claims) totaling
approximately $6.0 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 1,200 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 $1.8 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. AWI
will address all asbestos-related claims in the future within the Chapter 11
process. See further discussion regarding AWI's liability for asbestos-related
matters in Note 10 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Approximately 600 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 will conduct 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. 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 10 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Approximately 1,700 claims totaling approximately $1.8 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. 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 in excess of amounts presently
recorded by AWI and will be material to AWI's financial position and the results
of its operations. However, AWI is not able to determine a range of possible
liability with any reasonable degree of accuracy, due to the uncertainties of
the Chapter 11 process, the in-progress state of AWI's investigation of
submitted claims and the lack of documentation submitted in support of many
claims.

Financing

As of June 30, 2002, AWI had no outstanding debt borrowings under its $200
million debtor-in-possession credit facility (the "DIP Facility") and AWI had
$200.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, excluding cash held by its
non-debtor subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2002, AWI had approximately $19.6
million in letters of credit which were issued pursuant to the DIP Facility.
Borrowings are limited to an adjusted amount of receivables, inventories and
PP&E. AWI believes that the DIP Facility, together with cash on hand and
generated from operations, will be adequate to address its foreseeable liquidity
needs. Borrowings under the DIP Facility, if any, and obligations to reimburse
draws upon the letters of credit constitute superpriority

31

administrative expense claims in the Chapter 11 Case. The DIP Facility is
scheduled to expire on December 6, 2002.

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 condensed 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 3 for detail of the liabilities subject to compromise at June 30, 2002 and
December 31, 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet based upon
maturity date. AWI's estimated liability for personal injury asbestos claims is
also recorded in liabilities subject to compromise. See Note 10 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 in the first six months of 2002 and 2001:

Six Months Ended Six Months Ended
(amounts in millions) June 30, 2002 June 30, 2001
- --------------------- ---------------- ----------------

Professional fees $ 14.0 $ 11.9
Interest income, post petition (1.7) (2.7)
Reductions to prepetition liabilities - (2.0)
Termination of prepetition lease obligation - (5.9)
Other expense directly related to bankruptcy, net 0.2 1.2
------- -------
Total Chapter 11 reorganization costs, net $ 12.5 $ 2.5
======= =======

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.

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 condensed consolidated financial
statements. Further, a plan of reorganization could materially change the
amounts and classifications reported in the condensed consolidated financial
statements.

32

NOTE 3. LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE

As a result of AWI's Chapter 11 filing (see Note 2), 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 condensed
consolidated balance sheet based upon maturity date. AWI's asbestos liability is
also recorded in liabilities subject to compromise. Prior to its Chapter 11
Filing, AWI estimated a range for the asbestos-related personal injury liability
AWI would most likely be subject to during the following six years, based upon a
variety of factors including historical settlement amounts, the incidence of
past claims, the mix of the injuries of the plaintiffs, the number of cases
pending against AWI and the status and results of broad-based settlement
discussions. This 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 liability. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Chapter 11 process
will address AWI's total liability for asbestos-related personal injury claims,
which AWI never believed it could accurately estimate. There are significant
differences between the way asbestos-related personal injury claims may be
addressed in the bankruptcy process and the historical way AWI's claims were
resolved. Accordingly, AWI continues to be unable to accurately estimate its
total liability for asbestos-related personal injury claims. It is likely that
the total liability will be significantly higher than the recorded liability and
that this increased liability will be material to the financial statements. See
Note 10 for further discussion of AWI's asbestos liability.

Liabilities subject to compromise at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 are as
follows:

(amounts in millions) June 30, December 31,
2002 2001
--------- ------------
Debt (at face value) $ 1,400.7 $ 1,400.7

ESOP loan guarantee 157.7 157.7
--------- ----------
Total liabilities subject to compromise $ 2,363.0 $ 2,362.2
========= ==========

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.

The decrease in the assets of the Wood Flooring segment is primarily due to the
$590.0 million goodwill impairment write down recorded as a cumulative effect of
a change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2002. See Note 7 for further
details.

NOTE 5. 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 plans to permanently exit this
segment. This decision was based on the difficulty encountered in selling the
business, the changed cash needs of Armstrong and a review of our European
strategy. Accordingly, this segment is no longer classified as a discontinued
operation and amounts have been reclassified into

34

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 recorded a pretax net loss of $34.5
million in the fourth quarter of 2000, $23.8 million net of tax benefit.
Armstrong also 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.

NOTE 7. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Effective January 1, 2002, Armstrong adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards 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.

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

(amounts in millions)

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 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 Armstrong's intangible assets as

NOTE 8. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER ACTIONS

The following table summarizes activity in the reorganization and restructuring
accruals for the first six months of 2002 and 2001:

(amounts in millions) Beginning Cash Ending
Balance Payments Charges Reversals Other Balance
----------- ---------- --------- ----------- ------- ----------

2002 $ 8.9 $ (0.9) $ 2.3 $ - $ 0.4 $ 10.7
2001 22.2 (7.4) 3.8 (1.3) (6.7) 10.6

A $0.5 million pretax 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 pretax 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.

A $5.4 million pretax 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, 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.

The amount in "other" for 2002 is primarily related to foreign currency
translation. In 2001, the amount in "other" 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 $5.9
million reversal is recorded as a reduction of Chapter 11 reorganization costs
in accordance with SOP 90-7. See Note 2 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
June 30, 2002 relates to rental commitments for unused space under the terms of
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 fourth quarter of 2002.

NOTE 10. LITIGATION AND RELATED MATTERS

OVERVIEW OF ASBESTOS-RELATED LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Asbestos-related Litigation

The following is a summary update of asbestos-related litigation; see Item 3 of
Armstrong's 2001 Form 10-K filing for additional information.

AWI is a defendant in personal injury claims and property damage claims 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 has been appointed 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 present 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 condensed
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

38

claims were resolved. Therefore AWI is unable to accurately predict what the
Chapter 11 process will determine is AWI's total liability nor reasonably
estimate a range of liability for 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, no change has been made to the previously recorded liability except
to record payments of $68.2 million against that accrual in October and November
2000. The asbestos-related personal injury liability balance recorded at June
30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 is $690.6 million, which is recorded in
liabilities subject to compromise. It is likely that the total liability as
determined in the Chapter 11 process will be significantly higher than the
recorded liability and the liability will be material to the financial
statements.

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. As
part of determining whether AWI asbestos containing resilient floor covering
products give rise to property damage liability, the Court will conduct 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.

Consistent with prior periods and due to increased uncertainty, AWI has not
recorded any liability related to these claims as of June 30, 2002. See Note 2
for further discussion of the property damage claims in response to the August
31, 2001 claims bar date 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 is scheduled for October 2002. 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 a state 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.

Insurance Asset

An insurance asset in respect of asbestos personal injury claims in the amount
of $198.1 million is recorded as of June 30, 2002 compared to $214.1 million as
of December 31, 2001. Of the total recorded asset at June 30, 2002,
approximately $35.3 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, recent 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 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 June 30, 2002 reflecting management's estimate
of the minimum insurance payments to be received in the next 12 months.

40

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.
Due to the Filing, the settlement process may be delayed, pending further
clarification as to the asbestos liability. While AWI believes the Chapter 11
process will strengthen its position on resolving disputed insurance and may
therefore result in higher settlement amounts than recorded, there has been no
increase in the recorded amounts due to the uncertainties created by the Filing.
Accordingly, this asset could also change significantly based upon events which
occur in the Court. 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 in
asbestos-related insurance recoveries during the first six months of 2002 and
2001. 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

Many uncertainties exist about the financial impact of AWI's involvement with
asbestos litigation. 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. AWI has not revised its previously recorded
liability for asbestos-related personal injury claims. It is likely that no
changes will be made to the liability until later in the Chapter 11 Case.
Although not currently estimable, AWI's total exposure to asbestos-related
personal injury claims is likely to be significantly higher than the recorded
liability and to be material to the financial statements. Any adjustment to the
insurance asset could be material to the financial statements.

ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES

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 anticipates that annual expenditures for those purposes
will not change materially from recent experience. However, applicable federal
and state environmental laws continue to change. Until all new regulatory
requirements are known, Armstrong cannot predict with certainty future capital
expenditures associated with compliance with environmental requirements.

As with many industrial companies, Armstrong is currently 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 also have rights of contribution or reimbursement
from other parties or coverage under applicable insurance policies. Armstrong
has also 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 third quarter of
2002.

Estimates of Armstrong's future environmental liability at any of the Superfund
sites or 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 any Superfund site, Armstrong's contribution to the

41

remediation of these sites is expected to be limited by the number of other
companies also identified as potentially liable for site costs. 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.
Owens Corning has entered into a settlement in principle with the DEQ. Pursuant
to the proposed 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 is currently negotiating with the DEQ regarding 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 $17.0 million at June 30, 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, $6.4 million of the June 30,
2002 and 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 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and are
either available through settlement or anticipated to be recovered through
negotiation or litigation.

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.

PATENT INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS

Armstrong is a defendant in lawsuits brought by two groups of plaintiffs
claiming patent infringement related to some of Armstrong's laminate and
resilient sheet flooring products. The plaintiffs have claimed unspecified
monetary damages in these claims. Additionally, Armstrong is being defended and
indemnified by its supplier in the laminate products claim. Armstrong denies the
allegations and believes it will prevail in these matters.

FORMER EMPLOYEES CLAIM

About 370 former Armstrong employees that were separated in two 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). A similar proof of claim has 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. Losses

42

are alleged to be in the range of several million dollars. AHI believes there
are substantive defenses to the allegations.

OTHER CLAIMS

Additionally, Armstrong is involved in various other claims and legal actions
involving product liability, patent infringement, 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 it may have to pay 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 that a matter is resolved.

NOTE 11. ACQUISITIONS

During 2001, Armstrong spent $5.4 million to purchase some of the remaining
minority equity interest of majority owned entities consolidated within the
Resilient Flooring segment. Approximately $5.0 million of the purchase price was
allocated to goodwill.

NOTE 12. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ARMSTRONG HOLDINGS INC. AND ARMSTRONG WORLD
INDUSTRIES, INC.

The difference between the condensed consolidated financial statements is
primarily due to stock activity and intercompany transactions.

43

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

The following discussion and analysis corresponds to AHI financial statements.
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, one representing asbestos property damage claimants, and the other
representing other unsecured creditors, have been appointed in the Chapter 11
Case. In accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, they have the
right to be heard on matters that come before the Court in the Chapter 11 Case.

AWI intends to address all prepetition claims, including all asbestos-related
claims, in a plan of reorganization in its Chapter 11 Case. At this time, it is
impossible to accurately predict how such a plan will treat such claims and how
a plan will impact the value of shares of common stock of AHI. Under the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, holders of equity interests may not
participate under a plan of reorganization unless the claims of creditors are
satisfied in full or unless creditors accept a reorganization plan which permits
holders of equity interests to participate. The formulation and implementation
of a plan of reorganization in the Chapter 11 Case could take a significant
period of time. Currently, AWI has the exclusive right to file a plan of
reorganization until October 4, 2002, and this date may be further extended by
the Court.

Since AHI and AWI filed their Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31,
2002, there has been no substantive progress in AWI's negotiations with the
asbestos personal injury claimants and the unsecured creditors committees with
respect to the principal elements of a reorganization plan. It is not possible
to predict whether these negotiations will be successful. Therefore, the timing
of resolution of the Chapter 11 Case remains highly uncertain.

Bar Date for Filing Claims

The Court established August 31, 2001 as the bar date for all claims against AWI
except for certain 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 from the Chapter 11 Case. The Court had extended the bar date for
claims from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service until June 28, 2002, and a proof
of claim was received. The Court has also extended the bar date for claims from
several environmental agencies until the third quarter of 2002. 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. A bar date for
asbestos-related personal injury claims has not been set.

44

Approximately 4,500 proofs of claim (including late-filed claims) totaling
approximately $6.0 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 1,200 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 $1.8 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. AWI
will address all asbestos-related claims in the future within the Chapter 11
process. See further discussion regarding AWI's liability for asbestos-related
matters in Note 10 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Approximately 600 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 will conduct 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. 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 10 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Approximately 1,700 claims totaling approximately $1.8 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. 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 in excess of amounts presently
recorded by AWI and will be material to AWI's financial position and the results
of its operations. However, AWI is not able to determine a range of possible
liability with any reasonable degree of accuracy, due to the uncertainties of
the Chapter 11 process, the in-progress state of AWI's investigation of
submitted claims and the lack of documentation submitted in support of many
claims.

Financing

As of June 30, 2002, AWI had no outstanding debt borrowings under its $200
million debtor-in-possession credit facility (the "DIP Facility") and AWI had
$200.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, excluding cash held by its
non-debtor subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2002, AWI had approximately $19.6
million in letters of credit which were issued pursuant to the DIP Facility.
Borrowings are limited to an adjusted amount of receivables, inventories and
PP&E. AWI believes that the DIP Facility, together with cash on hand and
generated from operations, will be adequate to address its foreseeable liquidity
needs. Borrowings under the DIP Facility, if any, and obligations to reimburse
draws upon the letters of credit constitute superpriority administrative expense
claims in the Chapter 11 Case. The DIP Facility is scheduled to expire on

45

December 6, 2002. AWI is in discussions to extend the DIP Facility but at a
reduced amount, since AWI does not foresee the need for a facility at the $200
million level.

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 condensed 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 3 for detail of the liabilities subject to compromise at June 30, 2002 and
December 31, 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet based upon
maturity date. AWI's estimated liability for personal injury asbestos claims is
also recorded in liabilities subject to compromise. See Note 10 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 in the first six months of 2002 and 2001:

Six Months Ended Six Months Ended
(amounts in millions) June 30, 2002 June 30, 2001
- --------------------- ---------------- -----------------

Professional fees $ 14.0 $ 11.9
Interest income, post petition (1.7) (2.7)
Reductions to prepetition liabilities - (2.0)
Termination of prepetition lease obligation - (5.9)
Other expense directly related to bankruptcy, net 0.2 1.2
------- --------
Total Chapter 11 reorganization costs, net $ 12.5 $ 2.5
======= ========

s
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.

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 condensed consolidated financial
statements. Further, a plan of reorganization could materially change the
amounts and classifications reported in the condensed consolidated financial
statements.

46

Employee Relations

AHI has approximately 4,400 employees represented by labor unions in the United
States. Currently, approximately 1,500 of these employees, at three
manufacturing facilities, are working under expired contracts. AHI is currently
negotiating these collective bargaining agreements. However, the timing of a
resolution is not determinable and a work stoppage is possible. The actual
effects of either event could have a material adverse impact on the operations
of the business.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Armstrong had cash and cash equivalents of $345.5 million at June 30, 2002.
Working capital was $831.9 million as of June 30, 2002, $83.7 million higher
than the $748.2 million recorded at the end of 2001. The ratio of current assets
to current liabilities was 2.87 to 1 as of June 30, 2002, compared with 3.05 to
1 as of December 31, 2001. The decrease was primarily the result of increases in
accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Long-term debt, excluding debt subject to compromise, was $50.6 million, or
15.3% of total capital at June 30, 2002, compared with $50.3 million, or 6.0% of
total capital, 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 June 30, 2002 and
December 31, 2001.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
2002, was $95.5 million compared to $86.9 million for the comparable period in
2001. The increase in cash provided by operations was primarily due to favorable
changes in net working capital, primarily inventory balances.

Net cash used for investing activities was $36.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2002, compared to $45.0 million for the six months ended June 30,
2001. The decrease was primarily due to 2001 purchases of some of the remaining
minority equity interest of majority owned entities consolidated within the
Resilient Flooring segment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $5.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 compared with cash used for financing activities of $17.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in cash was
primarily due to increases in short-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. There were
no outstanding borrowings under the DIP Facility as of June 30, 2002 or June 30,
2001. As of June 30, 2002, approximately $19.6 million in letters of credit were
issued pursuant to the DIP Facility. Borrowings are limited to an adjusted
amount of receivables, inventories and PP&E. AHI believes that the DIP Facility,
together with cash on hand and generated from operations, will be adequate to
address foreseeable liquidity needs.

Asbestos-related Litigation

The following is a summary update of asbestos-related litigation; see Item 3 of
Armstrong's 2001 Form 10-K filing for additional information.

AWI is a defendant in personal injury claims and property damage claims 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.

47

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 has been appointed 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 present 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 condensed
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. Therefore AWI is unable to accurately predict what the Chapter 11
process will determine is AWI's total liability nor reasonably estimate a range
of liability for 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, no change has been made to the previously recorded liability except
to record payments of $68.2 million against that accrual in October and November
2000. The asbestos-related personal injury liability balance recorded at June
30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 is $690.6 million, which is recorded in
liabilities subject to compromise. It is likely that the total liability as
determined in the Chapter 11 process will be significantly higher than the
recorded liability and the liability will be material to the financial
statements.

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.

48

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. As
part of determining whether AWI asbestos containing resilient floor covering
products give rise to property damage liability, the Court will conduct 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.

Consistent with prior periods and due to increased uncertainty, AWI has not
recorded any liability related to these claims as of June 30, 2002. See Note 2
for further discussion of the property damage claims in response to the August
31, 2001 claims bar date 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 is scheduled for October 2002. 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 a state 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.

49

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.

Insurance Asset

An insurance asset in respect of asbestos personal injury claims in the amount
of $198.1 million is recorded as of June 30, 2002 compared to $214.1 million as
of December 31, 2001. Of the total recorded asset at June 30, 2002,
approximately $35.3 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, recent 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 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 June 30, 2002 reflecting management's estimate
of the minimum insurance payments to be received in the next 12 months.

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.
Due to the Filing, the settlement process may be delayed, pending further
clarification as to the asbestos liability. While AWI believes the Chapter 11
process will strengthen its position on resolving disputed insurance and may
therefore result in higher settlement amounts than recorded, there has been no
increase in the recorded amounts due to the uncertainties created by the Filing.
Accordingly, this asset could also change significantly based upon events which
occur in the Court. 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 in
asbestos-related insurance recoveries during the first six months of 2002 and
2001. 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

Many uncertainties exist about the financial impact of AWI's involvement with
asbestos litigation. 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. AWI has not revised its previously recorded
liability for asbestos-related personal injury claims. It is likely that no
changes will be made to the liability until later in the Chapter 11 Case.
Although not currently estimable, AWI's total exposure to asbestos-related
personal injury claims is likely to be significantly higher than the recorded
liability and to be material to the financial statements. Any adjustment to the
insurance asset could be material to the financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

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

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." Statements No. 4 and 64 related to
the extinguishments of debt, Statement 44 related to intangible assets of motor
carrier industries and Statement 13 relates to leases. Adoption of this standard
is not expected to have a material impact on AHI's consolidated results of
operations or financial condition.

Consolidated Results

The following discussions of consolidated results are on a continuing operations
basis.

Quarterly Comparison of 2002 and 2001

Net sales in the second quarter of 2002 of $825.2 million were 1.4% higher
compared with net sales of $814.2 million in the second quarter of 2001.
Resilient Flooring net sales decreased 1.6%. Building Products net sales
decreased by 0.6%. Wood Flooring net sales increased by 9.1%. Cabinets increased
by 10.3%. Textiles and Sports Flooring decreased by 7.7%. Net sales increased by
2.2% in the Americas and decreased by 1.1% in Europe, with the Pacific Area
increasing by $1.1 million. Excluding the effects of favorable foreign exchange
rates, consolidated net sales increased by 0.4%, with Europe net sales
decreasing by 5.0% and Pacific Area net sales increasing by $0.8 million. (See
Segment Results for further discussion.)

Operating income in the second quarter of 2002 was $55.6 million compared to
$62.1 million in the second quarter of 2001. Weak results in Europe, coupled
with a reduced pension credit, higher medical costs and competitive pricing
pressures in the Americas were the primary causes for the year-to-year decline.
(See Segment Results for further discussion.) The effects of foreign exchange
rates improved operating income in the second quarter of 2002 by approximately
$0.7 million. The second quarter of 2001 includes $5.7 million of goodwill
amortization, which, as a result of adopting FAS 142 effective January 1, 2002,
is no longer amortizable and has no corresponding cost in 2002. See Note 7 of
the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of FAS
142.

Cost of goods sold for the second quarter of 2002 was 74.8% of net sales,
compared to 73.0% for the second quarter of 2001. The percent increase was
primarily due to unfavorable sales price and mix, higher medical costs, a lower
pension credit and manufacturing inefficiencies, partially offset by higher
volume and lower raw material and energy costs.

SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2002 were $156.3 million or 18.9% of net
sales, compared to $152.3 million or 18.7% of net sales in the second quarter of
2001. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to higher overall advertising and
medical expenses and a $1.8 million decreased pension credit during the second
quarter of 2002, partially offset by a $2.0 million reversal of previously
accrued franchise taxes that are no longer necessary based on a favorable tax
ruling in the second quarter of 2002.

A $6.0 million non-cash pre-tax charge was recorded in the second quarter of
2001 related to management's assessment of probable asbestos-related insurance
asset recoveries. There was no charge recorded in the second quarter of 2002.

Armstrong also recorded net restructuring costs of $2.2 million in the second
quarter of 2002, which primarily included 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. This reorganization is expected to result in $5.5 million annual
savings. Restructuring reversals of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2001
related to a formerly occupied building for which AHI will no

51

longer incur any additional costs and to a remaining accrual from the first
quarter 2001 reorganization, comprising severances no longer necessary as
certain individuals remained employed by AHI.

Interest expense of $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2002 was slightly
lower than interest expense of $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2001. 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 $21.4 million and $21.5 million in the second quarter of 2002 and
2001, respectively.

Other (income) expense, net was $0.1 million of income in the second quarter of
2002 compared to $3.1 million of expense for the second quarter of 2001. The
2001 other expense, net was primarily due to a $3.2 million non-cash charge
resulting from the impairment of investments.

Armstrong recorded $6.3 million of Chapter 11 reorganization costs, net in the
second quarter of 2002 compared to a net gain of $0.5 million in the second
quarter of 2001. See preceding section, "Proceedings under Chapter 11," for
further discussion.

Earnings from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2002 were $27.7
million, or $0.68 per diluted share, compared to adjusted earnings from
continuing operations (excluding $5.9 million of amortization on goodwill and
certain intangible assets) of $40.4 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, in the
second quarter of 2001.

The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2002
was 39.9% versus 38.4% for the second quarter of 2001. This increase was related
to an increase in nondeductible bankruptcy costs, an increase in state taxes
primarily related to certain benefits recorded in 2001 and increases in the
valuation allowances against foreign net operating loss carryforwards. These
increases were offset partially by the reversal of certain tax reserves of $5.7
million due to the favorable settlement of tax audits and the elimination of the
negative tax impact recorded in 2001 on goodwill amortization.

Net earnings were $27.7 million, or $0.68 per diluted share for the second
quarter of 2002, compared to adjusted net earnings (excluding $5.9 million of
amortization on goodwill and certain intangible assets) of $38.0 million, or
$0.93 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2001.

Six Months Ending June 30 Comparison of 2002 and 2001

Net sales in the first half of 2002 of $1,572.8 million were 1.3% lower compared
with net sales of $1,594.1 million in the first half of 2001. Resilient Flooring
net sales decreased 2.5%. Building Products net sales decreased by 5.2%. Wood
Flooring net sales increased by 6.7%. Cabinets increased by 7.3%. Textiles and
Sports Flooring decreased by 11.4%. Net sales increased by 0.7% in the Americas
and decreased 6.9% and 4.1% in Europe and the Pacific Area, respectively.

Operating income in the first half of 2002 was $96.1 million compared to $105.4
million in the second quarter of 2001. The first half of 2001 includes $11.4
million of goodwill amortization, which, as a result of adopting FAS 142
effective January 1, 2002, is no longer amortizable and has no corresponding
cost in 2002. The decrease in operating income is generally due to decreased net
sales, increased medical expenses and a $9.1 million lower U.S. pension credit.

Changes in foreign exchange rates had an insignificant impact on comparative net
sales and operating income.

The 2002 cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $593.8 million
(net of $2.2 million tax) or $14.66 per share, was due to a non-cash
transitional impairment charge in accordance with FAS 142 as discussed in Note
7.

A net loss of $544.2 million, or $13.44 per share was recorded for the first
half of 2002, compared to adjusted net earnings (excluding $11.8 million of
amortization on goodwill and certain intangible assets) of $64.2 million, or
$1.57 per diluted share in the first half of 2001.

52

Segment Results

Quarterly Comparison of 2002 and 2001

Resilient Flooring

Resilient Flooring net sales were $303.5 million and $308.3 million in the
second quarter 2002 and 2001, respectively. This 1.6% decrease primarily
resulted from a decrease in the Americas net sales of 1.8%, due to lower net
sales of residential tile and laminate, offset by increased net sales of
residential sheet and commercial tile. Excluding the effects of favorable
foreign exchange rates, Europe decreased 2.1%, primarily due to lower sales of
linoleum products, while the Pacific Area increased $1.5 million.

Operating income of $20.8 million in the second quarter of 2002 compared to
$27.7 million in the second quarter of 2001. This decrease was due to lower net
sales, and higher manufacturing and medical expenses, partially offset by lower
raw material costs and lower selling and advertising expenses. Operating income
in the second quarter of 2002 also included $2.2 million of employee severance
costs related to restructuring efforts in Europe, while 2001 included a $0.2
million reversal of previously recorded restructuring charges.

Building Products

Building Products net sales of $205.1 million in the second quarter of 2002
decreased from $206.4 million in the second quarter of 2001. Excluding the
effects of favorable foreign exchange rates, net sales decreased 2.1%, primarily
due to weak construction markets in both the U.S. and Europe. Operating income
decreased $1.2 million to $24.5 million in the second quarter of 2002 due to
decreased net sales and unfavorable product mix, partially offset by lower
energy costs.

Wood Flooring

Wood Flooring net sales of $190.0 million in the second quarter of 2002
increased from net sales of $174.1 million in the second quarter of 2001. This
9.1% increase was driven primarily by increased volume in large home center
retailers. Operating income of $18.5 million in the second quarter of 2002
compared to operating income of $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2001.
Excluding $5.0 million of goodwill amortization expense recorded in the second
quarter of 2001, operating income would have been $13.5 million. The increase in
operating income was driven by higher net sales and lower lumber costs,
partially offset by increased personnel costs associated with field sales and
customer service.

Cabinets

Cabinets net sales of $66.5 million in the second quarter of 2002 increased from
net sales of $60.3 million in the second quarter of 2001 due to increased
volume. Operating income of $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2002 compared
to operating income of $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2001. $2.5 million
of the decrease was related to an inventory writedown, resulting from the
completion of a book-to-physical inventory analysis. Substantially all of this
inventory writedown relates to prior periods. Other factors leading to the
decrease in operating income were unfavorable product mix, an additional accrual
for product claims of $1.0 million and higher labor and advertising costs.

Textiles and Sports Flooring

Textiles and Sports Flooring net sales of $60.1 million decreased in the second
quarter of 2002 compared to $65.1 million in the second quarter of 2001.
Excluding the effects of favorable foreign exchange rates, net sales decreased
11.1% due to the weak European market. An operating loss of $0.3 million in the
second quarter of 2002 was incurred compared to operating income of $3.6 million
in the second quarter of 2001, primarily due to the impact of lower sales volume
and higher manufacturing costs.

All Other

The All Other segment contributed operating income of $0.8 million and $0.5
million for the second quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively, resulting from an
equity investment in Interface Solutions, Inc.

Unallocated Corporate Expense

Unallocated corporate expense of $9.3 million in the second quarter of 2002
compared to $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2001. The second quarter of
2002 included a $4.2 million decreased pension credit

53

and higher unallocated administrative expenses, partially offset by a $2.0
million reversal of previously accrued franchise taxes that are no longer
necessary based on a favorable tax ruling in the second quarter of 2002. The
second quarter of 2001 included a $1.1 million benefit from reversal of a
reserve related to a formerly occupied building for which Armstrong will no
longer incur any additional costs.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

OVERVIEW OF ASBESTOS-RELATED LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Asbestos-related Litigation

The following is a summary update of asbestos-related litigation; see Item 3 of
Armstrong's 2001 Form 10-K filing for additional information.

AWI is a defendant in personal injury claims and property damage claims 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 has been appointed 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 present 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 condensed
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. Therefore AWI is unable to accurately predict what the Chapter 11
process will determine is AWI's total liability nor reasonably estimate a range
of liability for 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, no change has been made to the previously recorded liability

55

except to record payments of $68.2 million against that accrual in October and
November 2000. The asbestos-related personal injury liability balance recorded
at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 is $690.6 million, which is recorded in
liabilities subject to compromise. It is likely that the total liability as
determined in the Chapter 11 process will be significantly higher than the
recorded liability and the liability will be material to the financial
statements.

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. As
part of determining whether AWI asbestos containing resilient floor covering
products give rise to property damage liability, the Court will conduct 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.

Consistent with prior periods and due to increased uncertainty, AWI has not
recorded any liability related to these claims as of June 30, 2002. See Note 2
for further discussion of the property damage claims in response to the August
31, 2001 claims bar date 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

56

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 is scheduled for October 2002. 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 a state 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.

Insurance Asset

An insurance asset in respect of asbestos personal injury claims in the amount
of $198.1 million is recorded as of June 30, 2002 compared to $214.1 million as
of December 31, 2001. Of the total recorded asset at June 30, 2002,
approximately $35.3 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, recent 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 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 June 30, 2002 reflecting management's estimate
of the minimum insurance payments to be received in the next 12 months.

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.
Due to the Filing, the settlement process may be delayed, pending further
clarification as to the asbestos liability. While AWI believes the Chapter 11
process will strengthen its position on resolving disputed insurance and may
therefore result in higher settlement amounts than recorded, there has been no
increase in the recorded amounts due to the uncertainties created by the Filing.
Accordingly, this asset could also change significantly based upon

57

events which occur in the Court. 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 in
asbestos-related insurance recoveries during the first six months of 2002 and
2001. 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

Many uncertainties exist about the financial impact of AWI's involvement with
asbestos litigation. 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. AWI has not revised its previously recorded
liability for asbestos-related personal injury claims. It is likely that no
changes will be made to the liability until later in the Chapter 11 Case.
Although not currently estimable, AWI's total exposure to asbestos-related
personal injury claims is likely to be significantly higher than the recorded
liability and to be material to the financial statements. Any adjustment to the
insurance asset could be material to the financial statements.

ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES

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 anticipates that annual expenditures for those purposes
will not change materially from recent experience. However, applicable federal
and state environmental laws continue to change. Until all new regulatory
requirements are known, Armstrong cannot predict with certainty future capital
expenditures associated with compliance with environmental requirements.

As with many industrial companies, Armstrong is currently 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 also have rights of contribution or reimbursement
from other parties or coverage under applicable insurance policies. Armstrong
has also 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 third quarter of
2002.

Estimates of Armstrong's future environmental liability at any of the Superfund
sites or 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 any Superfund site, 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 costs. 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.

58

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.
Owens Corning has entered into a settlement in principle with the DEQ. Pursuant
to the proposed 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 is currently negotiating with the DEQ regarding 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 $17.0 million at June 30, 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, $6.4 million of the June 30,
2002 and 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 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and are
either available through settlement or anticipated to be recovered through
negotiation or litigation.

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.

PATENT INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS

Armstrong is a defendant in lawsuits brought by two groups of plaintiffs
claiming patent infringement related to some of Armstrong's laminate and
resilient sheet flooring products. The plaintiffs have claimed unspecified
monetary damages in these claims. Additionally, Armstrong is being defended and
indemnified by its supplier in the laminate products claim. Armstrong denies the
allegations and believes it will prevail in these matters.

FORMER EMPLOYEES CLAIM

About 370 former Armstrong employees that were separated in two 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). A similar proof of claim has 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. Losses
are alleged to be in the range of several million dollars. AHI believes there
are substantive defenses to the allegations.

59

OTHER CLAIMS

Additionally, AHI, through AWI and AWI's subsidiaries, is involved in various
other claims and legal actions involving product liability, patent infringement,
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 its subsidiaries may have to pay
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 that a matter is resolved.
