NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.	GENERAL

Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Owens Corning,” “Company,” “we” and “our” in this report refer to Owens Corning, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.

The Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report are unaudited, pursuant to certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include, in the opinion of the Company, adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods indicated, which, however, are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the full year. The December 31, 2009 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In connection with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in this report, reference is made to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes contained in the Company’s 2009 annual report on Form 10-K.

EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST AND TAXES

Earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) by segment consists of net sales less related costs and expenses and are presented on a basis that is used internally for evaluating segment performance. Certain items, such as general corporate expenses or income and certain other expense or income items, are excluded from the internal evaluation of segment performance. Accordingly, these items are not reflected in EBIT for our reportable segments and are included in the Corporate, Other and Eliminations category.

The following table summarizes EBIT by segment (in millions):

4.	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to, among other risks, the impact of changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and precious metals lease rates in the normal course of business. The Company’s risk management program is designed to manage the exposure and volatility arising from these risks, and utilizes derivative financial instruments to offset a portion of these risks. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to hedge identified business risks, and does not enter into such transactions for trading purposes.

The Company generally does not require collateral or other security with counterparties to these financial instruments and is therefore subject to credit risk in the event of nonperformance; however, the Company monitors credit risk and currently does not anticipate nonperformance by other parties. Contracts with counterparties generally contain right of setoff provisions. These provisions effectively reduce the Company’s exposure to credit risk in situations where the Company has gain and loss positions outstanding with a single counterparty. It is the Company’s policy to offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets the amounts recognized for derivative instruments with any cash collateral arising from derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the Company did not have any amounts on deposit with any of its counterparties, nor did any of its counterparties have any amounts on deposit with the Company.

Assets and liabilities designated as hedged items are assessed for impairment or for the need to recognize an increased obligation. Such assessments are made after hedge accounting has been applied to the asset or liability and exclude a consideration of (1) any anticipated effects of hedge accounting and (2) the fair value of any related hedging instrument that is recognized as a separate asset or liability. The assessment for an impairment of an asset, however, includes a consideration of the losses that have been deferred in other comprehensive deficit (“OCI”) as a result of a cash flow hedge of that asset.

Foreign currency exchange contract:

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company uses forward and swap contracts, which qualify as cash flow hedges, to manage forecasted exposure to natural gas price and foreign exchange risk. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of cash flow hedges is deferred in accumulated OCI and is subsequently recognized in other expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for foreign exchange hedges, and in cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for commodity hedges, when the hedged item impacts earnings. Cash flow hedges related to foreign exchange risk were immaterial for all periods presented. Changes in the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities designated as hedging instruments are shown in other on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Any portion of the change in fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments that is determined to be ineffective is recorded in other expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

The Company currently has natural gas derivatives designated as hedging instruments that mature within 19 months. The Company’s policy is to hedge up to 75% of its total forecasted natural gas exposures for the next two months, up to 50% of its total forecasted natural gas exposures for the following four months, and lesser amounts for the remaining periods. The Company performs an analysis for effectiveness of its derivatives designated as hedging instruments at the end of each quarter based on the terms of the contract and the underlying item being hedged.

As of June 30, 2010, $3 million of losses included in accumulated OCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets relate to contracts that will impact earnings during the next 12 months. Transactions and events that are expected to occur over the next 12 months that will necessitate recognizing these deferred losses include the recognition of the hedged item through earnings.

Fair Value Hedges

The Company uses forward currency exchange contracts, which qualify as fair value hedges, to manage existing exposures to foreign exchange risk related to assets and liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses resulting from the changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded in other expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, the effect of which was not material in any period presented. The fair value of these instruments, which are recorded in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was not material for any dates presented.

4.	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

The Company manages its interest rate exposure by balancing the mixture of its fixed and variable rate instruments. In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company entered into several interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate exposure by converting $500 million of fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. As such, the swaps are carried at fair value and recorded as other non-current assets or other liabilities, with the offset to long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of these swaps and that of the related debt are recorded in interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Other Derivatives

As a result of first quarter 2009 capacity curtailments taken at certain facilities, the normal purchase scope exception was no longer met for one of the Company’s energy supply contracts. The contract is now required to be marked to market each quarter through its termination date of January 31, 2012. Going forward, the impact of this contract could be positive, neutral or negative in any period depending on market fluctuations.

5.	GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets and goodwill consist of the following (in millions):


June 30, 2010	Weighted Average Useful Life	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount
Amortizable intangible assets:

Total intangible assets		$	1,240	$	(71	)	$	1,169

Goodwill		$	1,124

Other Intangible Assets

The Company expects the ongoing amortization expense for amortizable intangible assets to be approximately $21 million in each of the next five fiscal years. The Company’s future cash flows are not materially impacted by its ability to extend or renew agreements related to our amortizable intangible assets.

5.	GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)

Goodwill

The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently should circumstances change or events occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. No testing was deemed necessary in the second quarter of 2010. The decrease in goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was the result of currency translation adjustments.

6.	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment consist of the following (in millions):


	June 30, 2010			Dec. 31, 2009
Land	$	219		$	227
Buildings and leasehold improvements		642			643

		3,619			3,605
Accumulated depreciation		(908	)		(799	)

Property, plant and equipment, net	$	2,711		$	2,806

7.	CHANGES IN NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

In the second quarter of 2009, the Company executed an amended shareholder agreement with the noncontrolling interest of Owens Corning India Limited (“OCIL”), one of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries. This agreement provides for a put/call provision that became redeemable/exercisable beginning May 31, 2010. The minority shareholder may put their interest in OCIL to the Company at the greater of $30 million or the then-determined fair market value. Alternatively, the Company may call the noncontrolling interest at a 10 percent premium on the greater of $30 million or the then-determined fair market value. Since the exercise of the put option is outside the control of the Company, the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest is recorded in temporary equity as a mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest.

8.	DIVESTITURES

In May 2009, the Company completed the sale of the assets and liabilities at certain European distribution centers within the Composites segment for cash proceeds of $9 million. These facilities were sold as a result of the integration of the 2007 acquisition of Saint-Gobain’s reinforcements and composite fabrics businesses (the “2007 Acquisition”). In the second quarter of 2009, the Company recorded a gain of $1 million on the sale of these facilities which is included in other expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

COST REDUCTION ACTIONS

2010 Cost Reduction Actions

As part of the Company’s continuing review of its Composites manufacturing network, actions were taken in the first quarter to further balance global capacity. The Company put plans in place to downsize certain underutilized manufacturing facilities in Europe to improve profitability in that region. In conjunction with these actions, the Company recorded $4 million and $17 million in charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 respectively; of which, $3 million and $9 million is related to severance and is included in charges related to cost reduction actions on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and $1 and $8 million is related to accelerated depreciation expense and is included in cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 respectively. The Company anticipates incurring approximately $15 million in additional charges throughout 2010 and into 2011 related to these actions, of which $10 million will be presented as charges related to cost reduction actions on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Cash payments related to these activities will continue into 2011. The Company will continue to evaluate its global network to ensure it has the appropriate capacity to respond to future anticipated demand around the world.

The following table summarizes the status of the unpaid liabilities from the Company’s 2010 cost reduction actions (in millions):

Senior Notes

The Company issued $350 million of senior notes on June 3, 2009 and $1.2 billion of senior notes on October 31, 2006, which are collectively referred to as the “Senior Notes.” The Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company.

The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s current and future domestic subsidiaries that are a borrower or guarantor under the Company’s Credit Agreement (as defined below). The guarantees are unsecured and rank equally in right of payment with all other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the guarantors. The guarantees are effectively subordinated to existing and future secured debt of the guarantors to the extent of the assets securing that indebtedness.

The Company has the option to redeem all or part of the Senior Notes at any time at a “make whole” redemption price. The Company is subject to certain covenants in connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes that it believes are usual and customary. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2010.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company entered into several interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate exposure by swapping $500 million of fixed rate to variable rate exposure designated against its 6.50% senior notes. The swaps are carried at fair value and recorded as other liabilities, with the offset to long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 4 for further information.

Senior Credit Facilities

On May 26, 2010, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that established a new $800 million multi-currency senior revolving credit facility (the “Senior Revolving Credit Facility”). Also on May 26, 2010, the Company terminated the credit agreement dated as of October 31, 2006, which contained a $1.0 billion multi-currency senior revolving credit facility (the “Prior Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $600 million senior term loan facility.

The available principal amount of $800 million on the Senior Revolving Credit Facility includes both borrowings and letters of credit. The Senior Revolving Credit Facility has a four-year maturity, and borrowings may be used for general corporate purposes and working capital. The Company has the discretion to borrow under multiple options, which provide for varying terms and interest rates including the United States prime rate or LIBOR plus a spread.

DEBT (continued)

The Senior Revolving Credit Facility contains various covenants, including a maximum allowed leverage ratio and a minimum required interest expense coverage ratio that the Company believes are usual and customary for a senior unsecured credit agreement. The Company was well within compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2010.

At June 30, 2010, the Company had $52 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Revolving Credit Facility. At December 31, 2009, the Company had $54 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility.

Short-Term Debt

At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, short-term borrowings were $4 million and $11 million, respectively. The short-term borrowings for both periods consisted of various operating lines of credit and working capital facilities. Certain of these borrowings are collateralized by receivables, inventories or property. The borrowing facilities are typically for one-year renewable terms. The weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings was approximately 2.9% for June 30, 2010 and 5.1% for December 31, 2009.

PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Pension Plans

The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans covering most employees. Under the plans, pension benefits are based on an employee’s years of service and, for certain categories of employees, qualifying compensation. Company contributions to these pension plans are determined by an independent actuary to meet or exceed minimum funding requirements. The unrecognized cost of any retroactive amendments and actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the average future service period of plan participants expected to receive benefits.

The Company is committed to providing a competitive benefit package to employees. On August 31, 2009 the Company elected to reorganize its postemployment benefit package, by which the Company has enhanced its 401(k) Plan and elected to freeze a portion of the United States Pension Plan for all salaried employees and a significant portion of hourly employees, effective January 1, 2010.

The following tables provide information regarding pension expense recognized (in millions):

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER MATTERS

Litigation

On September 1, 2006, various members of the Investment Review Committee of the Company’s predecessor company (“the Predecessor”) were named as defendants in a lawsuit captioned Brown v. Owens Corning Investment Review Committee, et al., in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio (Western Division). Neither the Company nor the Predecessor is named in the lawsuit but such individuals would have a contingent indemnification claim against the Predecessor. The suit, brought by former employees of the Predecessor, was brought under ERISA alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to certain pension benefit plans and to class members in connection with the investments in a Predecessor company common stock fund. A motion to dismiss was filed on behalf of the defendants on March 5, 2007. Subsequently, the court converted the Motion to Dismiss to a Motion for Summary Judgment. On March 31, 2008, the court denied the defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment. On April 15, 2008, the defendants filed a Motion for Reconsideration. On December 24, 2008, the court granted the defendants’ Motion for Reconsideration and dismissed the action. On January 9, 2009, the plaintiffs filed a Motion to Amend Judgment. On February 6, 2009, the defendants filed an Opposition to Plaintiff’s Motion to Amend Opinion and Order of Judgment. On June 3, 2009, the plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Oral argument was held on March 10, 2010.

Environmental Matters

We have been deemed by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) to be a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) with respect to certain sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act. We have also been deemed a PRP under similar state or local laws and in other instances other PRPs have brought suits against us as a PRP for contribution under such federal, state, or local laws. At June 30, 2010, we had environmental remediation liabilities as a PRP at 18 sites where we have a continuing legal obligation to either complete remedial actions or contribute to the completion of remedial actions as part of a group of PRPs. For these sites we estimate a reserve to reflect environmental liabilities that have been asserted or are probable of assertion, in which liabilities are probable and reasonably estimable. At June 30, 2010, our reserve for such liabilities was $10 million.

STOCK COMPENSATION

2010 Stock Plan

On April 22, 2010, the Company’s stockholders approved the Owens Corning 2010 Stock Plan (the “2010 Stock Plan”) which replaced the Owens Corning 2006 Stock Plan (the “2006 Stock Plan”), as amended and restated. The 2010 Stock Plan authorizes grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, bonus stock awards and performance stock awards. Under the 2010 Stock Plan, 2.0 million shares of Company common stock may be granted in addition to the shares of common stock that rolled over from the 2006 Stock Plan. Such shares of common stock include shares that were available but not granted, or which were granted but were not issued or delivered due to expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such awards. At June 30, 2010, the number of shares remaining available under the 2010 Stock Plan for all stock awards was 4.6 million.

Stock Options

The Company has granted stock options under its employee emergence equity program, its officer appointment program and its long-term incentive plans (“LTIP”). The Company calculated a weighted-average grant-date fair value using a Black-Scholes valuation model for options granted. Compensation expense for options is measured based on the fair market value of the option on the date of grant, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. In general, the exercise price of each option awarded was equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and an option’s maximum term is 10 years. The volatility assumption was based on a benchmark study of our peers.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, 506,600 stock options were granted with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $13.71. Assumptions used in the Company’s Black Scholes valuation model to estimate the grant date fair value were expected volatility of 52.3%, expected dividends of 0%, expected term of 6.25 years and a risk-free interest rate of 2.8%.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized expense of $1 million and $2 million respectively, related to the Company’s stock options. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized expense of $2 million and $3 million respectively, related to the Company’s stock options, which was recorded under the caption employee emergence equity program expense on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. As of June 30, 2010 there was $9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.18 years. The total aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $17 million and less than $1 million.

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2010:


	Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units

The Company has granted restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (collectively referred to as “restricted stock”) under its employee emergence equity program, non-employee director programs, LTIP and officer appointment program. Compensation expense for restricted stock is measured based on the market price of the stock at date of grant and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Stock restrictions are subject to alternate vesting plans for death, disability, approved early retirement and involuntary termination, over various periods ending in 2013.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized expense of $3 million and $6 million respectively, related to the Company’s restricted stock. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized expense of $7 million and $15 million respectively, related to the Company’s restricted stock, of which $4 million and $9 million was recorded as employee emergence equity program expense on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. As of June 30, 2010 there was $24 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.86 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $4 million and less than $1 million, respectively.

A summary of the status of the Company’s plans that had restricted stock issued as of June 30, 2010 and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2010 are presented below. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the restricted stock granted during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $13.34.

Performance Stock Awards and Performance Stock Units

The Company has granted performance stock awards and performance stock units (collectively referred to as “PSUs”) as a part of its LTIP, of which 50 percent will be settled in stock and 50 percent will be settled in cash. The amount of the PSUs ultimately distributed is contingent on meeting various company or shareholder return goals.

Compensation expense for PSUs settled in stock is measured based on the grant date fair value and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Compensation expense for PSUs settled in cash is measured based on the fair value at the end of each quarter and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Vesting will be pro-rated based on the number of full months employed during the performance period in the case of death, disability, retirement, change in control or involuntary termination, and pro-rated awards earned will be paid at the end of the three-year period.

STOCK COMPENSATION (continued)

In the first six months of 2010, the Company granted PSUs. Similar to the 2009 grant, the 2010 grant vests after a three-year period based on the Company’s total stockholder return relative to the performance of the components of the S&P 500 Index for the respective three-year period. The amount of PSUs earned will vary from 0% to 200% of PSUs awarded depending on the relative stockholder return performance.

For all PSUs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized expense of $5 million and $8 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized expense of $4 million and income of less than $1 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2010, there was $18 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to PSUs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.87 years.

2010 Grant

For the 2010 grant, the portion of the PSUs settled in cash will be revalued every reporting period until the award is fully vested. As a result, compensation expense recognized will be adjusted and previous surplus compensation expense recognized will be reversed or additional expense will be recognized. For the six month period ended June 30, 2010, the Company estimated the fair value of the PSUs granted using a Monte Carlo simulation that used various assumptions that include expected volatility of 62.8%, a risk free rate of 0.8% and an expected term of 2.51 years. Expected volatility was based on a benchmark study of our peers. The risk-free interest rate was based on zero coupon United States Treasury bills at the time of revaluation. The expected term represents the period beginning June 30, 2010 to the end of the three-year performance period.

For the 2010 grant, the fair value of the portion of PSUs settled in stock was estimated at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation that used various assumptions that include expected volatility of 58.8%, a risk free interest rate of 1.4% and an expected term of 2.91 years. Expected volatility was based on a benchmark study of our peers. The risk-free interest rate was based on zero coupon United States Treasury bills at the grant date. The expected term represents the period from the grant date to the end of the three-year performance period.

2009 Grant

For the 2009 grant, the portion of the PSUs settled in cash will be revalued every reporting period until the award is fully vested. As a result, compensation expense recognized will be adjusted and previous surplus compensation expense recognized will be reversed or additional expense will be recognized. For the period ended June 30, 2010, the Company estimated the fair value of the PSUs granted using a Monte Carlo simulation that used various assumptions that include expected volatility of 57%, a risk free rate of 0.5% and an expected term of 1.50 years. Expected volatility was based on a benchmark study of our peers. The risk-free rate was based on zero coupon United States Treasury bills at the time of revaluation. The expected term represents the period beginning June 30, 2010 to the end of the three-year performance period.

A summary of the status of the Company’s plans that had issued PSUs as of June 30, 2010, and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2010 are presented below:

Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”)

SARs represent the opportunity to receive stock or cash or a combination thereof granted by the Committee. The SAR can be issued in tandem with incentive stock options or free-standing. If the SAR is issued in tandem, then the base price shall be the purchase price per share of common stock of the related option. If the SAR is issued free-standing, then the base price shall be determined by the Committee. As of June 30, 2010 no SARs have been granted.

Bonus Stock Awards

Bonus stock is a reward granted by the Committee that is not subject to performance measures or restriction periods. The stock is issued at the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. No bonus stock awards were granted during the six month period ended June 30, 2010.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to Owens Corning by the weighted-average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. Outstanding shares consist of issued shares less treasury stock.

On August 1, 2010, the Company approved a new share buy-back program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to 10 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “2010 Repurchase Program”). The 2010 Repurchase Program is in addition to the share buy-back program announced February 21, 2007, under which approximately 1.9 million shares remain available for repurchase (the “2007 Repurchase Program” and collectively with the 2010 Repurchase Program, the “Repurchase Programs”). The Repurchase Programs authorize the Company to repurchase shares through open market, privately negotiated, or other transactions. The timing and actual number of shares of common stock repurchased will depend on market conditions and other factors and will be at the Company’s discretion. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, no repurchases were made under the 2007 Repurchase Program.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the number of shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share did not include 0.5 and 2.4 million options to purchase common stock, respectively; 17.5 million common equivalent shares from Series A Warrants or 7.8 million common equivalent shares from Series B Warrants due to their anti-dilutive effect.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (continued)

Cash equivalents, by their nature, utilize Level 1 inputs in determining fair value. The Company measures the value of its natural gas hedge contracts and foreign currency forward contracts using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the Company’s natural gas hedges is determined by a mark to market valuation based on forward curves using observable market prices and the fair value of its foreign currency forward contracts is determined using observable market transactions in over-the-counter markets. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps is determined by a mark to market valuation based on forward curves observable in the market. A significant portion of the value of the Company’s energy supply derivative contract uses Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the Company’s energy supply derivative contract is determined by a mark to market valuation based on forward curves and on broker quotes.

The following table provides a rollforward of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in millions):


	Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Derivatives
December 31, 2009	$	(1	)
Total losses included in net earnings attributable to Owens Corning		-

June 30, 2010	$	(1	)

Changes in the fair value of this energy supply derivative contract are included in other expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Items Disclosed at Fair Value

Long-term notes receivable

The fair value has been calculated using the expected future cash flows discounted at market interest rates. The Company believes that the carrying amounts reasonably approximate the fair values of long-term notes receivable. Long-term notes receivable were $6 million as of June 30, 2010.

Long-term debt

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt has been calculated based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues, or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company’s 6.50% senior notes due 2016 were trading at approximately 104% of par value, the 7.00% senior notes due 2036 were trading at approximately 100% of par value and the 9.00% senior notes due 2019 were trading at approximately 116% of par value.

At June 30, 2010, the Company used a market participant approach to value the remaining long-term debt instruments. This approach, which utilized indicative market rates for a new debt issuance, approximated the fair value of the remaining long-term debt at $121 million.

INCOME TAXES (continued)

United States during 2007 and 2008, as well as the Company’s then estimates for near-term results in the United States. Financial performance in the United States during that time period was adversely impacted by the decline in United States housing starts. Since that time, earnings performance in our United States operations has strengthened and our forecasts have improved.

Excluding the effect of the reversal of the valuation allowance, our effective tax rate would have been 15% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory rate of 35% is primarily attributable to the level of earnings in the United States, which has relatively little income tax expense due to its valuation allowance position.

19.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance amending the timing, and considerations, of analyses performed to determine if the Company’s variable interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, as well as requires additional disclosures. The guidance was effective as of the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within the first annual reporting period and thereafter. The adoption of this authoritative guidance had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements present the financial information required with respect to those entities which guarantee certain of the Company’s debt. The Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements are presented on the equity method. Under this method, the investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for the Company’s share of the subsidiaries’ cumulative results of operations, capital contributions, distributions and other equity changes. The principal elimination entries eliminate investment in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

Guarantor and Nonguarantor Financial Statements

The Senior Notes and the Senior Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed, fully, unconditionally and jointly and severally, by each of Owens Corning’s current and future 100% owned material domestic subsidiaries that is a borrower or a guarantor under Owens Corning’s Credit Agreement, which permits changes to the named guarantors in certain situations (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The remaining subsidiaries have not guaranteed the Senior Notes and the Senior Revolving Credit Facility (collectively, the “Nonguarantor Subsidiaries”).

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand Owens Corning, our operations and our present business environment. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes thereto contained in this report. Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Owens Corning,” “Company,” “we” and “our” in this report refer to Owens Corning.

GENERAL

Headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, Owens Corning is a leading global producer of glass fiber reinforcements and other materials for composites and of residential and commercial building materials. The Company’s business operations fall within two reportable segments, Composites and Building Materials. Composites includes our Reinforcements and Downstream businesses. Building Materials includes our Insulation, Roofing and Other businesses. Through these lines of business, we manufacture and sell products worldwide. We maintain leading market positions in many of our major product categories.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We generated $208 million in EBIT and $227 million in Adjusted EBIT for the six months ended June 30, 2010 despite continued weakness in many of our end markets. The diversity of our portfolio of businesses served us well. Strong EBIT margin performance continued in our Roofing business and we realized substantial improvements in our Composites segment. Additionally, our Insulation business continued to narrow its losses. See below for further information regarding Adjusted EBIT, including a reconciliation to net earnings attributable to Owens Corning.

In our Composites segment, the positive trend in demand demonstrated during 2009 continued throughout the second quarter leading to an increase in sales of 26% over the second quarter 2009. The higher level of global demand supported increased utilization of our production capacity. This, combined with our lower cost position resulting from actions taken over the last two years, drove an improvement in EBIT over the second quarter 2009.

In our Building Materials segment, our Roofing business continued the strong margin momentum it began in 2008. Our Insulation business continued to narrow its losses as a result of improved sales volumes.

We continued our focus on generating cash and maintaining a strong balance sheet with ample liquidity. Due to the seasonality of our business, we typically have negative cash flow from operations in first half of the year. During the first half 2010, we generated $134 million in cash flow from operating activities. This significant improvement is primarily due to higher earnings in our Roofing business and Composites segment and our continued focus on working capital.

During the second quarter 2010, we refinanced our senior revolving credit facility and repaid our senior term loan facility. At the end of the second quarter 2010, we had $691 million available on our $800 million senior revolving credit facility, and cash on hand of $30 million. As a result of our refinancing, we have no significant debt maturities until 2014.

The Consolidated Results discussion below provides a summary of our results and the trends affecting our business, and should be read in conjunction with the more detailed Segment Results discussion that follows.

NET SALES

Net sales increased for each period-over-period comparison, driven by higher sales volumes in each of our major businesses.

GROSS MARGIN

The increase in gross margin in the second quarter 2010 as compared to the second quarter 2009 was primarily the result of improvements in our Composites segment, partially offset by a decrease in margins in our Roofing business within our Building Materials segment. For the first half comparison, gross margin was higher primarily as a result of improved margins in our Composites segment.

CHARGES RELATED TO COST REDUCTION ACTIONS

The 2010 charges were related to actions we took to balance our global Composites capacity. As part of our continuing review of our Composites manufacturing network, we took actions beginning in the first quarter to further balance our global capacity. We put plans in place to downsize certain underutilized manufacturing facilities in Europe to improve our profitability in that region. In conjunction with these actions, we recorded $17 million in charges of which $9 million were recorded as charges related to cost reduction actions on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. We anticipate incurring approximately $15 million in additional charges throughout 2010 and into 2011 related to these actions. We will continue to evaluate our global network to ensure we have the appropriate capacity to respond to future anticipated demand around the world.

The 2009 charges were related to actions we took across the company to curtail production and reduce operating costs.

EMPLOYEE EMERGENCE EQUITY PROGRAM EXPENSE

Our plan of reorganization established a one-time employee emergence equity program. The cost of this program was amortized over a vesting period of three years beginning in November 2006. The cost related to this program was fully amortized by the end of 2009.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

Interest expense in the first half 2010 was higher than the first half 2009 primarily as a result of interest on our 9.00% senior notes issued on June 3, 2009. Partially offsetting this increase was the impact of our interest rate swaps.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

The income tax benefit of $844 million and $835 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, was a result of the reversal of a $858 million valuation allowance against certain of the Company’s United States deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was originally established in 2008 based on the Company’s losses before income taxes in the United States during 2007 and 2008, as well as the Company’s then estimates for near-term results in the United States. Financial performance in the United States during that time period was adversely impacted by the decline in United States housing starts. Since that time, earnings performance in our United States operations has strengthened and our forecasts have improved.

Consistent with accounting principles, we did not reverse a portion of the valuation allowance in the amount of deferred tax assets that will be utilized in the last half of the year. As such, our income tax expense for our United States operations is expected to be near zero for the remainder of the year.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”)

Adjusted EBIT excludes certain items that management does not allocate to our segment results because it believes they are not a result of the Company’s current operations. Additionally, management views net precious metal lease expense as a financing item included in net interest expense rather than as a product cost included in cost of sales. Adjusted EBIT is used internally by the Company for various purposes, including reporting results of operations to the Board of Directors of the Company, analysis of performance and related employee compensation measures. Although management believes that these adjustments result in a measure that provides it a useful representation of our operational performance, the adjusted measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings (loss) attributable to Owens Corning as prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Adjusting items are shown in the table below (in millions):

Segment Results

Earnings (loss) before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) by segment consists of net sales less related costs and expenses and are presented on a basis that is used internally for evaluating segment performance. Certain items, such as general corporate expenses or income and certain other expense or income items, are excluded from the internal evaluation of segment performance. Accordingly, these items are not reflected in EBIT for our reportable segments and are included in the Corporate, Other and Eliminations category, which is presented following the discussion of our reportable segments.

Composites

The table below provides a summary of net sales, EBIT and depreciation and amortization expense for the Composites segment (in millions):


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2010			2009			2010			2009
Net sales	$	491		$	391		$	954		$	736
% change from prior year		26	%		-41	%		30	%		-44	%

EBIT	$	42		$	(19	)	$	73		$	(37	)
EBIT as a % of net sales		9	%		-5	%		8	%		-5	%

Depreciation and amortization expense	$	31		$	24		$	58		$	55

NET SALES

For both the quarter comparison and the year-to-date comparison, substantially all of the increase in net sales was due to higher sales volumes. Demand in our Reinforcements business continued the sequential improvement that began in the first quarter 2009. The upward trend in selling prices that began in the fourth quarter 2009 continued, resulting in overall higher selling prices in the second quarter 2010 versus the second quarter 2009.

EBIT

Approximately three-fourths and two-thirds of the improvement in EBIT for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, was due to higher sales volumes, including the impact of improved utilization of our production capacity. Production levels in the second quarter continued to be in line with overall sales volumes. Improved manufacturing productivity represented approximately 15 percent of the increase in EBIT in each comparative period. EBIT was also higher in the second quarter 2010 than the second quarter 2009 as a result of higher selling prices.

OUTLOOK

We believe that demand in this segment will generally continue to trend upward as global industrial demand improves. However, the rate and extent of the market recovery remains uncertain and is expected to vary among products, end-use markets and geographic regions. As a result of the sequential improvements we have seen in demand, our capacity utilization is currently in line with levels seen in 2008. We expect to continue to maintain production levels in line with overall sales volumes. We expect construction of our reinforcements plant in China to be complete by year-end, positioning the business for improved profitability.

NET SALES

Net sales in our Building Materials segment were higher in both the second quarter 2010 and the first half 2010 as compared to the same periods in 2009. This increase was due to higher sales in both our Insulation and Roofing businesses.

In our Roofing business, substantially all of the increase in net sales for the quarter comparison was due to higher sales of asphalt to commercial customers. For the year-to-date comparison, higher sales of asphalt to commercial customers were partially offset by slightly lower selling prices on roofing products. While selling prices of our roofing products have been relatively stable since the fourth quarter 2008, they have fluctuated from quarter to quarter.

In our Insulation business, higher sales volumes drove the increases in net sales for both the quarter and the year-to-date comparisons. Our experience shows that our residential insulation demand lags United States residential housing starts by approximately three months. Lagged United States housing starts for the second quarter 2010 were 17% higher than those for the same period in 2009 according to data reported by the United States Census Bureau, and we have seen modest improvements in our residential insulation demand. Our Insulation business includes a diverse portfolio with a geographic mix of Untied States, Canada, Asia Pacific and Latin America, a market mix of residential, commercial industrial and other markets, and a channel mix of retail, contractor and distribution.

EBIT

EBIT for our Building Materials segment decreased by $25 million for the second quarter comparison, driven by lower EBIT in our Roofing business in 2010. For the year-to-date comparison, EBIT increased by $9 million, as reduced losses in our Insulation and Other businesses were partially offset by EBIT declines in our Roofing business.

- 37 -

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In our Roofing business, unit margins decreased in each comparative period as selling prices did not offset inflation in raw materials costs, particularly asphalt. In the second quarter, higher sales volumes, including improved utilization of our production capacity, increased EBIT by approximately 10 percent over the second quarter 2009. In the first half, higher sales volumes, including improved utilization of our production capacity, increased EBIT by approximately 15 percent. Additionally, the decreases in unit margin for each comparative period were partially offset by improved productivity, primarily resulting from efficiency in raw materials usage.

In our Insulation business, EBIT improved for each comparative period on the basis of a modest increase in North America residential sales volumes, including the impact of leverage on our production capacity. Partially offsetting this improvement was manufacturing performance in certain facilities that primarily support our commercial and industrial markets.

OUTLOOK

We expect that continued weakness in the United States housing industry will depress new residential construction-related demand through the remainder of the year. The timing and pace of recovery of the United States housing market remains uncertain.

In our Roofing business, we expect that margin improvements seen in 2008 and 2009 will continue to drive profitability. Uncertainties that may impact our Roofing gross margins include competitive pricing pressure and the cost and availability of raw materials, particularly asphalt.

In our Insulation business, we believe the geographic, product, and channel mix of our portfolio may continue to moderate the impact of sustained demand-driven weakness associated with new construction for the remainder of 2010. Should the recovery of new construction be sooner and faster than anticipated, we are prepared to respond to increased demand by bringing additional production capacity back on-line.

Corporate, Other and Eliminations

The table below provides a summary of EBIT and depreciation and amortization expense for the Corporate, Other and Eliminations category (in millions):

Depreciation and amortization	$	7		$	6		$	20		$	15

EBIT

Charges related to cost reduction actions were lower in 2010 than 2009. The 2010 charges were related to actions we took to balance our global Composites capacity. The 2009 charges were related to actions we took across the company to curtail production and reduce operating costs. Our employee emergence equity program was fully amortized in 2009, so no related expense was recorded in 2010. The most significant driver of the increase in general corporate expense was higher performance-based compensation expense. A portion the expense related to our long-term incentive plan compensation is dependent upon our stock price, which was significantly higher at June 30, 2010 than at June 30, 2009.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND OTHER RELATED MATTERS

Liquidity

Since 2008, worldwide capital and credit markets have seen unprecedented volatility. While market conditions have materially improved, we are still closely monitoring the potential impact on our liquidity. To date, these market conditions have not had any material adverse impact on our liquidity. During the second quarter 2010, we refinanced our senior revolving credit facility and repaid our senior term loan facility. We now have no significant debt maturities coming due until 2014. As of June 30, 2010, we had $691 million available on our senior revolving credit facility.

We are also closely monitoring the potential impact of changes in the operating conditions of our customers on our operating results. To date, changes in the operating conditions of our customers have not had a material adverse impact on our operating results; however, it is possible that we could experience material losses in the future if current economic conditions continue or worsen.

Notwithstanding the above, we expect that our cash on hand, coupled with future cash flows from operations and other available sources of liquidity, including our senior revolving credit facility, will provide ample liquidity to allow our company to meet our cash requirements. Our anticipated uses of cash include capital expenditures, working capital needs, pension contributions, meeting financial obligations and reducing outstanding amounts under the senior term loan facility. On an ongoing basis, we will evaluate and consider repurchasing shares of our common stock as well as strategic acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and other transactions to create stockholder value and enhance financial performance. Such transactions may require cash expenditures or generate proceeds.

The credit agreement applicable to our senior revolving credit facility contains various covenants, including a maximum allowed leverage ratio and a minimum required interest expense coverage ratio, that are usual and customary for a senior unsecured credit agreement. We were well within compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2010. At June 30, 2010, we had $1.7 billion of short- and long-term debt and cash-on-hand of $30 million.

Cash Flows

The following table presents a summary of our cash balance and cash flows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2010			2009			2010			2009
Cash balance	$	30		$	110		$	30		$	110
Cash provided by (used for) operating activities	$	161		$	190		$	134		$	(98	)
Cash provided by (used for) investing activities	$	(49	)	$	(38	)	$	(107	)	$	(75	)
Cash provided by (used for) financing activities	$	(540	)	$	(136	)	$	(554	)	$	45
Unused committed credit lines	$	691		$	889		$	691		$	889

Operating activities: We generated $134 million of cash flow from operations in the first half 2010 compared to a use of cash from operations of $98 million in the first half 2009. This increase in cash flow from operations was primarily the result of increased earnings in 2010, particularly in our Composites segment, as well as improvements in working capital.

Investing activities: The increase in cash flow used for investing activities for the first half 2010 compared to the first half 2009 was the result of increased capital expenditures as well as less proceeds from sales of assets or affiliates. In 2009, we reduced our capital expenditures as part of our cost reduction actions and focus on cash generation.

Financing activities: The increase in cash used for financing activities for the first half 2010 compared to the first half 2009 was primarily due to the repayment of our $600 million senior term loan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2010 Investments

Capital Expenditures: The Company will continue a balanced approach to the use of its cash flow. Operational cash flow will be used to fund the Company’s growth and innovation. Capital expenditures, excluding purchases of precious metals, in 2010 are expected to be greater than those in 2009, but less than depreciation and amortization expense. The Company will also continue to evaluate projects and acquisitions that provide opportunities for growth in our businesses, and invest in them when they meet our strategic and financial criteria.

Tax Net Operating Losses

Upon emergence and subsequent distribution of contingent stock and cash in January 2007, we generated a significant United States federal tax net operating loss of approximately $3.0 billion. As of June 30, 2010 our federal tax net operating losses remaining were $2.4 billion. Our net operating losses are subject to the limitations imposed under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. These limits are triggered when a change in control occurs, and are computed based upon several variable factors including the share price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the change in control. A change in control is generally defined as a cumulative change of 50% or more in the ownership positions of certain stockholders during a rolling three year period. Our initial three year period for measuring an ownership change started at October 31, 2006.

As discussed previously, we reversed an accounting valuation allowance of $858 million that was recorded against certain of our United States deferred tax assets. This reversal was the result of our strong earnings performance in our United States operations during 2009 and the first half of 2010, as well as favorable forecasts. The reversal of this valuation allowance has no impact on our cash flow or liquidity.

In addition to the United States net operating losses described above, we have net operating losses in various foreign jurisdictions, which totaled $444 million as of December 31, 2009. Our ability to utilize these net operating losses may be limited as a result of certain events, such as insufficient future taxable income prior to expiration of the net operating losses. Should we determine that it is likely that our recorded net operating loss benefits are not realizable, we would be required to reduce the net operating loss tax benefits reflected on our Consolidated Financial Statements to the net realizable amount by establishing an accounting valuation allowance and recording a corresponding charge to current earnings. To date, we have recorded valuation allowances against certain of these deferred tax assets.

Pension Contributions

The Company has several defined benefit pension plans. The Company made cash contributions of approximately $12 million and $23 million to the plans during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company expects to contribute $38 million in cash to its pension plans during 2010. Actual contributions to the plans may change as a result of a variety of factors, including changes in laws that impact funding requirements. The ultimate cash flow impact to the Company, if any, of the pension plan liability and the timing of any such impact will depend on numerous variables, including future changes in actuarial assumptions, legislative changes to pension funding laws, and market conditions.

Derivatives

To mitigate some of the near-term volatility in our earnings and cash flows, we use financial and derivative instruments to hedge certain exposures, principally currency- and energy-related. Our current hedging practice is to hedge a variable percentage of certain energy and energy-related exposures. Our policy is to hedge up to 75% of our total forecasted natural gas exposures for the next two months, up to 50% for the following four months, and lesser amounts for the remaining periods. We currently have hedged a portion of our exposures for the next 19 months. Going forward, the results of our hedging practice could be positive, neutral or negative in any period depending on price changes in the hedged exposures, and will tend to mitigate near-term volatility in the exposures hedged. The practice is neither intended nor expected to mitigate longer term exposures.

Fair Value Measurement

Items Measured at Fair Value

The Company classifies and discloses assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has entered into limited off balance sheet arrangements, as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission rules, in the ordinary course of business. These arrangements include a limited amount of unrecorded contingent payment obligations under acquisition purchase agreements which are not material. The Company does not believe these arrangements will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Contractual Obligations

In the normal course of business, we enter into contractual obligations to make payments to third parties. Other than the previously discussed issuance of the $800 million Senior Revolving Credit Facility due 2014 and the repayment of the $600 million Senior Term Loan Facility due 2011, during the six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no material changes to such contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of our business.

SAFETY

Working safely is a condition of employment at Owens Corning. We believe this organization-wide expectation provides for a safer work environment for employees, improves our manufacturing processes, reduces our costs and enhances our reputation. Furthermore, striving to be a world-class leader in safety provides a platform for all employees to understand and apply the resolve necessary to be a high-performing, global organization. We measure our progress on safety based on Recordable Incidence Rate (“RIR”) as defined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. In the six months ended June 30, 2010, our RIR improved approximately 13% over our full year performance throughout 2009.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND OUR INDUSTRY

Low levels of residential or commercial construction activity can have a material adverse impact our business and results of operations.

A portion of our products are used in the markets for residential and commercial construction, repair and improvement, and demand for certain of our products is affected in part by the level of new residential construction, although typically a number of months after the change in the level of construction. Historically, construction activity has been cyclical and is influenced by prevailing economic conditions, including the level of interest rates and availability of financing and other factors outside our control.

Worldwide economic conditions and credit tightening could have a material adverse impact the Company.

The Company’s business may be adversely impacted by changes in United States or global economic conditions, including inflation, deflation, interest rates, availability of capital, consumer spending rates, energy availability and costs, and the effects of governmental initiatives to manage economic conditions. Volatility in financial markets and the deterioration of national and global economic conditions could materially adversely impact the Company’s operations, financial results and/or liquidity including as follows:

•

the financial stability of our customers or suppliers may be compromised, which could result in additional bad debts for the Company or non-performance by suppliers;

•

one or more of the financial institutions syndicated under the Credit Agreement applicable to our committed senior revolving credit facility may cease to be able to fulfill their funding obligations, which could adversely impact our liquidity;

•

it may become more costly or difficult to obtain financing or refinance the Company’s debt in the future;

•

the value of the Company’s assets held in pension plans may decline; and/or

•

the Company’s assets may be impaired or subject to write down or write off.

Uncertainty about global economic conditions may cause consumers of our products to postpone spending in response to tighter credit, negative financial news and/or declines in income or asset values. This could have a material adverse impact on the demand for our products and on our financial condition and operating results. A deterioration of economic conditions

- 44 -

would likely exacerbate these adverse effects and could result in a wide-ranging and prolonged impact on general business conditions, thereby negatively impacting our operations, financial results and/or liquidity.

We face significant competition in the markets we serve and we may not be able to compete successfully.

All of the markets we serve are highly competitive. We compete with manufacturers and distributors, both within and outside the United States, in the sale of insulating products and composite products. We also compete with other manufacturers and distributors in the sale of roofing materials, industrial asphalts, manufactured stone veneer and other products. In some cases, we face competition from manufacturers in countries able to produce similar products at lower costs. We also face competition from the introduction by competitors of new products or technologies that may address our customers’ needs in a better manner, whether based on considerations of cost, usability, effectiveness, sustainability or other features or benefits. If we are not able to successfully commercialize our innovation efforts, we may lose market share. Price competition or overcapacity may limit our ability to raise prices for our products when necessary, may force us to reduce prices and may also result in reduced levels of demand for our products and cause us to lose market share. Our inability to compete and the loss of customers and pricing pressures caused by such competition, overcapacity or other reasons could reduce the sales of our products, thereby adversely impacting our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our sales may fall rapidly in response to declines in demand because we do not operate under long-term volume agreements to supply our customers and because of customer concentration in certain segments.

Many of our customer volume commitments are short-term; therefore, we do not have a significant manufacturing backlog. As a result, we do not have the hedge provided by long-term volume contracts against downturns in customer demand and sales. Further, our costs are not susceptible to immediate adjustment in response to changes in sales. In addition, although no single customer represents more than 10% of our annual sales, sales of some of the products in our building materials product category are dependent on a limited number of customers, who account for a significant portion of such sales. The loss of key customers for these products, or a significant reduction in sales to those customers, could significantly reduce our revenues in these products. If key customers experience financial pressure, they could attempt to demand more favorable contractual terms, which would place additional pressure on our margins and cash flows. Lower demand for our products could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Adverse weather conditions and the level of severe storms could have a material adverse impact our results of operations.

Weather conditions and the level of severe storms can have a significant impact on the markets for residential and commercial construction, repair and improvement.

•

Generally, any weather conditions that slow or limit residential or commercial construction activity can adversely impact demand for our products.

•

A portion of our annual product demand is attributable to the repair of damage caused by severe storms. In periods with below average levels of severe storms, demand for such products could be reduced.

Lower demand for our products could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our level of indebtedness could adversely impact our ability to refinance such indebtedness when desired or to raise additional capital to fund our operations and limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry.

Our debt level and degree of leverage could have important consequences, including the following:

•

they may limit our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes;

•

a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations could be required for the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness and may not be available for other business purposes;

•

certain of our borrowings, are at variable rates of interest, exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates;

- 45 -

•

if due to liquidity needs we must replace any borrowings upon maturity, we would be exposed to the risk that we will be unable to do so as the result of market, operational or other factors;

•

they may limit our ability to adjust to changing market conditions and place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and

•

we may be vulnerable in a downturn in general economic conditions or in our business, or we may be unable to carry out capital spending that is important to our growth.

In addition, the credit agreement governing our senior credit facility and the indentures governing our senior notes contain various covenants that impose operating and financial restrictions on us and/or our subsidiaries.

Our ongoing efforts to increase productivity and reduce costs may not result in anticipated savings in operating costs.

Our ongoing cost reduction efforts may not produce anticipated results. Our ability to achieve cost savings and other benefits within expected time frames is subject to many estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are subject to significant economic, competitive and other uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. If these estimates and assumptions are incorrect, if we experience delays, or if other unforeseen events occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

We may be exposed to increases in costs of energy, materials and transportation or reductions in availability of materials and transportation, which could reduce our margins and harm our results of operations.

Our business relies heavily on certain commodities and raw materials used in our manufacturing processes. Additionally, we spend a significant amount on inputs and services that are influenced by energy prices, such as natural gas, asphalt, a large number of chemicals and resins and transportation costs. Price increases for these inputs could raise costs and reduce our margins if we are not able to offset them by increasing the prices of our products, improving productivity or hedging where appropriate. Availability of certain of the raw materials we use has, from time to time, been limited, and our sourcing of some of these raw materials from a limited number of suppliers, and in some cases a sole supplier, increases the risk of unavailability. Despite our contractual supply agreements with many of our suppliers, it is still possible that we could experience a lack of certain raw materials which could limit our ability to produce our products, thereby adversely impacting our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our hedging activities to address energy price fluctuations may not be successful in offsetting increases in those costs or may reduce or eliminate the benefits of any decreases in those costs.

In order to mitigate short-term variation in our operating results due to commodity price fluctuations, we hedge a portion of our near-term exposure to the cost of energy, primarily natural gas. The results of our hedging practices could be positive, neutral or negative in any period depending on price changes of the hedged exposures.

Our hedging activities are not designed to mitigate long-term commodity price fluctuations and, therefore, will not protect us from long-term commodity price increases. In addition, in the future our hedging positions may not correlate to our actual energy costs, which would cause acceleration in the recognition of unrealized gains and losses on our hedging positions in our operating results.

The Company’s income tax net operating loss carryforwards may be limited and our results of operations may be adversely impacted.

The Company has substantial deferred tax assets related to net operating losses (NOLs) for United States federal and state income tax purposes, which are available to offset future taxable income. However, the Company’s ability to utilize the NOLs may be limited as a result of certain events, such as insufficient future taxable income prior to expiration of the NOLs or annual limits imposed under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, or by state law, as a result of a change in control. A change in control is generally defined as a cumulative change of 50% or more in the ownership positions of certain stockholders during a rolling three year period. Changes in the ownership positions of certain stockholders could occur as the result of stock transactions by such stockholders and/or by the issuance of stock by the Company. Such limitations may cause the Company to pay income taxes earlier and in greater amounts than would be the case if the NOLs were not subject to such limitations.

- 46 -

Should the Company determine that it is likely that its recorded NOL benefits are not realizable, the Company would be required to reduce the NOL tax benefits reflected on its financial statements to the net realizable amount by establishing a valuation reserve and recording a corresponding charge to current earnings. If the Company is required to establish a valuation reserve, recording the corresponding charge to current earnings would have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations in the period in which it is recorded. Conversely, if the Company is required to reverse any portion of the accounting valuation against its deferred tax assets related to its NOLs, such reversal could have a positive effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations in the period in which it is recorded.

Our operations require substantial capital, leading to high levels of fixed costs that will be incurred regardless of our level of business activity.

Our businesses are capital intensive, and regularly require capital expenditures to expand operations, maintain equipment, increase operating efficiency and comply with environmental laws, leading to high fixed costs, including depreciation expense. We are limited in our ability to reduce fixed costs quickly in response to reduced demand for our products and these fixed costs may not be fully absorbed, resulting in higher average unit costs and lower gross margins if we are not able to offset this higher unit cost with price increases. Alternatively, we may be limited in our ability to quickly respond to unanticipated increased demand for our products, which could result in an inability to satisfy demand for our products and loss of market share.

We may be subject to liability under and may make substantial future expenditures to comply with environmental laws and regulations.

Our manufacturing facilities are subject to numerous foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the presence of hazardous materials, pollution and the protection of the environment, including those governing emissions to air, discharges to water, use, storage and transport of hazardous materials, storage, treatment and disposal of waste, remediation of contaminated sites and protection of worker health and safety.

Liability under these laws involves inherent uncertainties. Violations of environmental, health and safety laws are subject to civil, and, in some cases, criminal sanctions. As a result of these uncertainties, we may incur unexpected interruptions to operations, fines, penalties or other reductions in income which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Continued government and public emphasis on environmental issues is expected to result in increased future investments for environmental controls at ongoing operations, which will be charged against income from future operations. Present and future environmental laws and regulations applicable to our operations, and changes in their interpretation, may require substantial capital expenditures or may require or cause us to modify or curtail our operations, which may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to risks associated with our international operations.

We sell products and operate plants throughout the world. Our international sales and operations are subject to risks and uncertainties, including:

•

possible government legislation;

•

difficulties and costs associated with complying with a wide variety of complex laws, treaties and regulations;

•

unexpected changes in regulatory environments;

•

economic and political conditions;

•

tax rates that may exceed those in the United States;

•

tax inefficiencies and currency exchange controls that may adversely impact our ability to repatriate cash from non-United States subsidiaries;

•

the imposition of tariffs or other import or export restrictions;

•

costs and availability of shipping and transportation;

•

nationalization of properties by foreign governments; and

•

currency exchange rate fluctuations between the United States dollar and foreign currencies.

- 47 -

As we continue to expand our business globally, we may have difficulty anticipating and effectively managing these and other risks that our international operations may face, which may adversely impact our business outside the United States and our financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to successfully integrate newly acquired businesses, joint ventures and other partnerships into our operations or achieve expected profitability from our acquisitions.

If we cannot successfully integrate acquisitions, joint ventures and other partnerships on a timely basis, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition costs, we may incur costs in excess of what we anticipate, and our expectations of future results of operations, including certain cost savings and synergies, may not be achieved. Acquisitions involve substantial risks, including:

•

unforeseen difficulties in integrating operations, technologies, services, accounting and personnel;

•

diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations;

•

unforeseen difficulties related to entering geographic regions where we do not have prior experience;

•

risks relating to obtaining sufficient equity or debt financing;

•

potential loss of key employees; and

•

potential loss of customers.

In addition, if we finance acquisitions by issuing equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, our existing stockholders’ interests would be diluted, which, in turn, could adversely impact the market price of our stock. Moreover, we could finance an acquisition with debt, resulting in higher leverage and interest costs.

Our intellectual property rights may not provide meaningful commercial protection for our products or brands, which could adversely impact our business.

Owens Corning relies on its proprietary intellectual property, including numerous registered trademarks, as well as its licensed intellectual property. We monitor and protect against activities that might infringe, dilute, or otherwise harm our patents, trademarks and other intellectual property and rely on the patent, trademark and other laws of the United States and other countries. However, we may be unable to prevent third parties from using our intellectual property without our authorization. To the extent we cannot protect our intellectual property, unauthorized use and misuse of our intellectual property could harm our competitive position and have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the laws of some non-United States jurisdictions provide less protection for our proprietary rights than the laws of the United States. If we are unable to maintain certain exclusive licenses, our brand recognition could be adversely impacted.

We could face potential product liability claims, we may not accurately estimate costs related to such claims, and we may not have sufficient insurance coverage available to cover product liability claims.

Our products are used in a wide variety of residential and commercial applications. We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability or other claims in the event our products are alleged to be defective or that the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in harm to others or to property. We may in the future incur liability if product liability lawsuits against us are successful. Moreover, any such lawsuits, whether or not successful, could result in adverse publicity to us, which could cause our sales to decline.

In addition, consistent with industry practice, we provide warranties on many of our products and we may experience costs of warranty or breach of contract claims if our products have defects in manufacture or design or they do not meet contractual specifications. We estimate our future warranty costs based on historical trends and product sales, but we may fail to accurately estimate those costs and thereby fail to establish adequate warranty reserves for them. We maintain insurance coverage to protect us against product liability claims, but that coverage may not be adequate to cover all claims that may arise or we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance coverage in the future at an acceptable cost. Any liability not covered by insurance or that exceeds our established reserves could materially and adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

- 48 -

We are subject to litigation in the ordinary course of business and uninsured judgments or a rise in insurance premiums may adversely impact our results of operations.

In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various claims and litigation. Any such claims, whether with or without merit, could be time consuming and expensive to defend and could divert management’s attention and resources. In accordance with customary practice, we maintain insurance against some, but not all, of these potential claims. We may elect not to obtain insurance if we believe that the cost of available insurance is excessive relative to the risks presented. The levels of insurance we maintain may not be adequate to fully cover any and all losses or liabilities. Further, we may not be able to maintain insurance at commercially acceptable premium levels or at all. If any significant accident, judgment, claim or other event is not fully insured or indemnified against, it could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure that the outcome of all current or future litigation will not have a material adverse impact on the Company and its results of operations.

We depend on our senior management team and other skilled and experienced personnel to operate our business effectively, and the loss of any of these individuals could adversely impact our business and our future financial condition or results of operations.

We are highly dependent on the skills and experience of our senior management team and other skilled and experienced personnel. These individuals possess sales, marketing, manufacturing, logistical, financial, business strategy and administrative skills that are important to the operation of our business. The loss of any of these individuals or an inability to attract, retain and maintain additional personnel could prevent us from implementing our business strategy and could adversely impact our business and our future financial condition or results of operations. We cannot assure that we will be able to retain all of our existing senior management personnel or to attract additional qualified personnel when needed.

Increases in the cost of labor, union organizing activity, labor disputes and work stoppages at our facilities could delay or impede our production, reduce sales of our products and increase our costs.

The costs of labor are generally increasing, including the costs of employee benefit plans. We are subject to the risk that strikes or other types of conflicts with personnel may arise or that we may become the subject of union organizing activity at additional facilities. In particular, renewal of collective bargaining agreements typically involves negotiation, with the potential for work stoppages or increased costs at affected facilities. Currently, all of our union employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements.

Downgrades of our credit ratings could adversely impact us.

Our credit ratings are important to our cost of capital. The major debt rating agencies routinely evaluate our debt based on a number of factors, which include financial strength as well as transparency with rating agencies and timeliness of financial reporting. A downgrade in our debt rating could result in increased interest and other expenses on our existing variable interest rate debt, and could result in increased interest and other financing expenses on future borrowings. Downgrades in our debt rating could also restrict our access to capital markets and affect the value and marketability of our outstanding notes.

We will not be insured against all potential losses and could be seriously harmed by natural disasters, catastrophes or sabotage.

Many of our business activities involve substantial investments in manufacturing facilities and many products are produced at a limited number of locations. These facilities could be materially damaged by natural disasters such as floods, tornados, hurricanes and earthquakes or by sabotage. We could incur uninsured losses and liabilities arising from such events, including damage to our reputation, and/or suffer material losses in operational capacity, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

RISKS RELATED TO OWNERSHIP OF OUR COMMON STOCK

The market price of our common stock is subject to volatility.

The market price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include actual or anticipated variations in our operational results and cash flow, our earnings relative to our competition, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, trading volume, sales by holders of

- 49 -

large amounts of our common stock, short selling, market conditions within the industries in which we operate, seasonality of our business operations, the general state of the securities markets and the market for stocks of companies in our industry, governmental legislation or regulation and currency and exchange rate fluctuations, as well as general economic and market conditions, such as recessions.

A small number of our stockholders could be able to significantly influence our business and affairs.

A few financial institutions and the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust (the “Asbestos PI Trust”) own substantial amounts of our outstanding common stock. Large holders, such as these parties, may be able to affect matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions. In addition, our bylaws give the Asbestos PI Trust the right to nominate two directors for as long as it holds shares representing at least 1% of our common stock.

We are a holding company with no operations of our own and depend on our subsidiaries for cash.

We are a holding company and most of our assets are held by our direct and indirect subsidiaries and we will primarily rely on dividends and other payments or distributions from our subsidiaries to meet our debt service and other obligations and to enable us to pay dividends. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments or distributions to us will depend on their respective operating results and may be restricted by, among other things, the laws of their jurisdiction of organization (which may limit the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends or other payments), agreements of those subsidiaries, agreements with any co-investors in non-wholly-owned subsidiaries, the terms of our credit facility and senior notes and the covenants of any future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiaries may incur.

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws or Delaware law might discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or changes in our management and therefore depress the trading price of our common stock.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could depress the trading price of our common stock through provisions that may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or changes in our management that our stockholders may deem advantageous. These provisions:

•

require a 75% super-majority vote to amend some provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws;

•

require approval of the Asbestos PI Trust with respect to the amendment of certain provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, if the amendment could adversely impact certain rights granted to the Asbestos PI Trust;

•

authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that our Board of Directors has a restricted right to issue to increase the number of outstanding shares to discourage a takeover attempt;

•

create a staggered Board of Directors;

•

prohibit stockholder action by written consent, and require that all stockholder actions be taken at a meeting of our stockholders;

•

provide that the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, amend or repeal our bylaws except in limited circumstances; and

•

establish advance notice requirements for nominations for elections to our Board of Directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings.

Additionally, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad range of business combinations with any “interested” stockholder for a period of three years following the date on which the stockholder became an “interested” stockholder and which may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company.

- 50 -

We may pay little or no dividends on our common stock.

The payment of any future dividends to our stockholders will depend on decisions that will be made by our Board of Directors and will depend on then existing conditions, including our operating results, financial conditions, contractual restrictions, corporate law restrictions, capital agreements, applicable laws of the State of Delaware and business prospects. We may pay little or no dividends for the foreseeable future.
