1.Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business and Organization — Headwaters Incorporated (Headwaters) is a diversified building products company incorporated in Delaware, which provides products, technologies and services to the light and heavy building materials industries. Headwaters’ vision is to improve lives through innovative advancements in construction materials through application, design and purpose.

The light building products segment designs, manufactures, and sells manufactured architectural stone, exterior siding accessories (such as shutters, mounting blocks, and vents), concrete block and other building products. Headwaters believes that many of its branded products have a leading market position. Revenues from Headwaters’ light building products businesses are diversified geographically and also by market, including the new housing and residential repair and remodeling markets, as well as commercial construction markets.

The heavy construction materials segment is the nationwide leader in the management and marketing of coal combustion products (CCPs), including fly ash used as an admixture in concrete, and providing services to electric utilities related to the management of CCPs. Headwaters’ heavy construction materials business is comprised of a nationwide storage and distribution network and also provides CCP disposal and other services. Revenue is diversified geographically and by market.

The energy technology segment has been focused on reducing waste and increasing the value of energy-related feedstocks, primarily in the areas of low-value coal and oil. In coal, Headwaters owns and operates coal cleaning facilities that separate ash from waste coal to provide a refined coal product that is higher in Btu value and lower in impurities than the feedstock coal. As described in Note 3, Headwaters is disposing of all its coal cleaning facilities and they are reflected as assets held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The results of Headwaters’ coal cleaning operations have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. In oil, Headwaters believes that its heavy oil upgrading technology represents a substantial improvement over current refining technologies. Headwaters’ heavy oil upgrading process uses a liquid catalyst precursor to generate a highly active molecular catalyst to convert low-value residual oil from refining into higher-value distillates that can be further refined into gasoline, diesel and other products.

Basis of Presentation — Headwaters’ fiscal year ends on September 30 and unless otherwise noted, references to 2011 refer to Headwaters’ fiscal quarter and / or nine months ended June 30, 2011 and references to 2012 refer to Headwaters’ fiscal quarter and / or nine months ended June 30, 2012. Other references to years refer to Headwaters’ fiscal year rather than a calendar year.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Headwaters, all of its subsidiaries and other entities in which Headwaters has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation. Due to the seasonality of most of Headwaters’ operations and other factors, the consolidated results of operations for any particular period are not indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year. For the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, approximately 12% of Headwaters’ total revenue and cost of revenue was for services. Substantially all service-related revenue for both periods was in the heavy construction materials segment.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and consist of normal recurring adjustments. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Headwaters’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011 (Form 10-K) and in Headwaters’ Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Headwaters has reviewed recently issued accounting standards which have not yet been adopted in order to determine their potential effect, if any, on the results of operations or financial position of Headwaters. Based on that review, Headwaters does not currently believe that any of those accounting pronouncements will have a significant effect on its current or future financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Reclassifications — Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation, including reclassifications related to presentation of the coal cleaning operations as discontinued. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or total assets.

2.Segment Reporting

Headwaters currently operates three business segments: light building products, heavy construction materials and energy technology. These segments are managed and evaluated separately by management due to differences in their markets, operations, products and services. Revenues for the light building products segment consist of product sales to wholesale and retail distributors, contractors and other users of building products. Revenues for the heavy construction materials segment consist primarily of CCP product sales to ready-mix concrete businesses, with a smaller amount from services provided to coal-fueled electric generating utilities. Revenues for the energy technology segment have consisted primarily of coal sales; however, as described in Note 3, in September 2011 Headwaters committed to a plan to sell its coal cleaning facilities and the related coal sales revenue and results of operations have been reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations for all periods. Currently, continuing revenues for the energy technology segment consist primarily of catalyst sales to oil refineries. Intersegment sales are immaterial.

The following segment information has been prepared in accordance with ASC Topic 280 Segment Reporting. Segment performance is evaluated primarily on revenue and operating income, although other factors are also used, such as Adjusted EBITDA. Headwaters defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, foreign currency translation gain or loss, goodwill and other impairments, and other non-routine adjustments that arise from time to time, consistent with the methodology Headwaters has used historically.

Segment costs and expenses considered in deriving segment operating income (loss) include cost of revenue, amortization, research and development, and segment-specific selling, general and administrative expenses. Amounts included in the “Corporate” column represent expenses that are not allocated to any segment and include administrative departmental costs and general corporate overhead. Segment assets reflect those specifically attributable to individual segments and primarily include cash, accounts receivable, inventories, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill. Certain other assets are included in the “Corporate” column. The operating results of the discontinued coal cleaning business are not included in the tables below for any period; however, coal cleaning facility expenditures comprise most of the reported energy technology segment capital expenditures, and assets as of June 30, 2012 include the coal cleaning assets held for sale.

3.Discontinued Operations

Headwaters assessed the strategic fit of its various operations and is pursuing divestiture of certain businesses in the energy technology segment which do not align with its long-term strategy. In September 2011, the Board of Directors committed to a plan to sell the coal cleaning business, which is part of the energy technology segment, and at that time the business met all the criteria for classification as held for sale and presentation as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities associated with the coal cleaning business have been reflected as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The results of Headwaters’ coal cleaning operations have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

During the March 2011 quarter, Headwaters recorded an impairment of the coal cleaning assets totaling $37.0 million. During the June 2012 quarter, Headwaters recorded an impairment of the coal cleaning assets totaling $13.0 million, which reduced the remaining book value for the coal cleaning assets, net of liabilities, to near $0. Current assets held for sale consist primarily of accounts receivable and inventory. Non-current assets held for sale consist of approximately $16.1 million and $1.9 million of property, plant and equipment and approximately $8.3 million and $5.9 million of other assets, as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively, all of which are recorded at the lower of historical carrying amount or fair value. Liabilities held for sale consist primarily of accrued liabilities.

Headwaters sold one coal cleaning facility during the June 2012 quarter for cash proceeds of $2.0 million plus potential future consideration totaling approximately $8.4 million, which amount would be received over a number of years, depending upon future plant production levels. Headwaters currently expects to sell all, or substantially all, of the remaining business before the end of calendar 2012. If assumptions regarding future cash flows from the sale of the coal cleaning assets prove to be incorrect, Headwaters may be required to record a loss or a gain when the assets are sold.

The decreases during 2012 in gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization are attributable to fully amortized assets that have been removed from the respective accounts. Total amortization expense related to intangible assets was approximately $5.7 million and $4.9 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Total amortization expense was approximately $16.8 million and $15.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Total estimated annual amortization expense for fiscal years 2012 through 2017 is shown in the following table.

6.Long-term Debt

The total undiscounted face amount of Headwaters’ outstanding long-term debt was $543.1 million as of September 30, 2011 and $508.4 million as of June 30, 2012. As of those dates, long-term debt consisted of the following:

7-5/8% Senior Secured Notes — In March 2011, Headwaters issued $400.0 million of 7-5/8% senior secured notes for net proceeds of approximately $392.8 million. Headwaters used most of the net proceeds to repay the former 11-3/8% senior secured notes and the related early repayment premium of approximately $59.0 million (which premium was charged to interest expense). The 11-3/8% notes were issued at a discount which was being amortized to interest expense over the original term of the debt. Upon early repayment in March 2011, the remaining unamortized balances of approximately $2.2 million of debt discount and $6.6 million of debt issue costs were written off and charged to interest expense, as was $1.1 million of banking fees related to the tender offer.

The 7-5/8% notes mature in April 2019 and bear interest at a rate of 7.625%, payable semiannually. The notes are secured by substantially all assets of Headwaters; however, the note holders have a second priority position with respect to the assets that secure the ABL Revolver, currently consisting of certain trade receivables and inventories of Headwaters’ light building products and heavy construction materials segments. The notes are senior in priority to all other outstanding and future subordinated debt.

Headwaters can redeem the 7-5/8% notes, in whole or in part, at any time after March 2015 at redemption prices ranging from 103.8% to 100.0%, depending on the redemption date. In addition, through March 2014 Headwaters can redeem at a price of 107.6% up to 35% of the outstanding notes with the net proceeds from one or more equity offerings. Headwaters

12

HEADWATERS INCORPORATED

(Unaudited)

can also redeem up to 10% of the notes in any 12-month period through March 2014 at a price of 103%, and can redeem any portion of the notes at any time through March 2015 at a price equal to 100% plus a make-whole premium.

The senior secured notes limit Headwaters in the incurrence of additional debt and liens on assets, prepayment of future subordinated debt, merging or consolidating with another company, selling all or substantially all assets, making investments and the payment of dividends or distributions, among other things. Headwaters was in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2012.

ABL Revolver — Since entering into the ABL Revolver, Headwaters has not borrowed any funds under the arrangement and has no borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2012. Availability under the ABL Revolver cannot exceed $70.0 million, which includes a $35.0 million sub-line for letters of credit and a $10.5 million swingline facility. Availability under the ABL Revolver is further limited by the borrowing base valuations of the assets of Headwaters’ light building products and heavy construction materials segments which secure the borrowings, currently consisting of certain trade receivables and inventories. In addition to the first lien position on these assets, the ABL Revolver lenders have a second priority position on substantially all other assets of Headwaters. During the 2011 fiscal year, Headwaters secured a letter of credit under terms of the ABL Revolver for approximately $16.1 million in order to post bond in connection with the filing of an appeal in the Boynton matter described in Note 12. Headwaters has also secured additional letters of credit for approximately $2.8 million for other purposes. As of June 30, 2012, availability under the ABL Revolver was approximately $51.1 million.

Outstanding borrowings under the ABL Revolver accrue interest at Headwaters’ option, at either i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.25%, 2.50% or 2.75%, depending on Headwaters’ fixed charge coverage ratio; or ii) the “Base Rate” plus 1.0%, 1.25% or 1.5%, again depending on the fixed charge coverage ratio. The base rate is subject to a floor equal to the highest of i) the prime rate, ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, and iii) the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.0%. Fees on the unused portion of the ABL Revolver range from 0.25% to 0.50%, depending on the amount of the credit facility which is utilized. If there would have been borrowings outstanding under the ABL Revolver as of June 30, 2012, the interest rate on those borrowings would have been approximately 3.2%. The ABL Revolver has a termination date of October 2014, with a contingent provision for early termination three months prior to the earliest maturity date of the senior secured notes or any of the convertible senior subordinated notes (currently November 2013), at which time any amounts borrowed must be repaid. The contingent provision for early termination is precluded if, three months prior to any note maturity date, borrowing base capacity under the ABL Revolver and / or cash collateral is at least equivalent to the notes maturing on such date.

The ABL Revolver contains restrictions and covenants common to such agreements, including limitations on the incurrence of additional debt and liens on assets, prepayment of subordinated debt, merging or consolidating with another company, selling assets, making capital expenditures, making acquisitions and investments and the payment of dividends or distributions, among other things. In addition, if availability under the ABL Revolver is less than a specified percentage (15%), Headwaters is required to maintain a monthly fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0x for the preceding twelve-month period. Headwaters was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2012.

Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes — The Form 10-K includes a detailed description of all of Headwaters’ convertible senior subordinated notes that were in existence as of September 30, 2011. In June 2012, Headwaters issued approximately $49.8 million of new 8.75% convertible senior subordinated notes (8.75% notes) in exchange for cancellation of an equal amount of outstanding 2.50% convertible senior subordinated notes (2.50% notes), plus a cash payment of approximately $0.6 million. The unamortized balances of debt discount and debt issue costs related to the $49.8 million of retired 2.50% notes, aggregating approximately $4.5 million, were written off and charged to interest expense. The 8.75% notes have a maturity date of February 2016 with no early redemption options for either Headwaters or the holders of the notes. Other than the different interest rate and two-year extended maturity date, the terms of the 8.75% notes, including the significant terms of conversion, are similar in all material respects to the terms of the 2.50% notes as described in the Form 10-K. Headwaters’ Chairman and CEO was a holder of $1.15 million of the 2.50% notes that were exchanged for 8.75% notes, which exchange was approved by the Board of Directors and occurred under the same terms as for the other exchange participants.

In the December 2011 quarter, Headwaters repurchased and canceled $7.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2.50% notes for cash consideration of approximately $5.5 million. The $2.0 million gain was recorded in other income. Accelerated debt discount and debt issue costs aggregating approximately $0.9 million were charged to interest expense. In the March 2012 quarter, Headwaters repurchased and canceled approximately $12.0 million of the 14.75% notes. Terms of repayment included premiums of approximately $1.6 million, which were charged to interest expense. Accelerated debt discount and debt issue costs aggregating approximately $0.7 million were also charged to interest expense.

In the June 2012 quarter, Headwaters repurchased and canceled the remaining $1.0 million outstanding balance of 14.75% notes, which repurchase included a premium of approximately $0.1 million. The premium and accelerated debt discount and debt issue costs aggregating approximately $0.2 million were charged to interest expense. Also in the June 2012 quarter, Headwaters redeemed at par the remaining $9.2 million of 16% notes and repurchased and canceled $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2.50% notes for cash consideration of approximately $4.7 million. The $0.3 million gain was recorded in other income. Accelerated debt discount and debt issue costs aggregating approximately $0.5 million were charged to interest expense.

Interest and Debt Maturities — During the June 2011 and 2012 quarters, Headwaters incurred total interest costs of approximately $13.4 million and $16.0 million, respectively, including approximately $2.6 million and $6.8 million, respectively, of non-cash interest expense. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, Headwaters incurred total interest costs of approximately $113.1 million and $42.2 million, respectively, including approximately $17.1 million and $12.7 million, respectively, of non-cash interest expense and approximately $0.1 million of interest costs that were capitalized in both periods. Interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 includes approximately $59.0 million of early repayment premium related to the retirement of the 11-3/8% senior secured notes in March 2011.

Interest income was approximately $0.1 million and $0 in the June 2011 and 2012 quarters, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on the face amount of outstanding long-term debt, excluding amortization of debt discount and debt issue costs, was approximately 6.8% at September 30, 2011 and 7.1% at June 30, 2012. There are currently no maturities of debt prior to February 2014.

7.Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Headwaters’ financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and long-term debt. All of these financial instruments except long-term debt are either carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets or are short-term in nature. Accordingly, the carrying values for those financial instruments as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets closely approximate their fair values.

All of Headwaters’ outstanding long-term debt as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2012 was fixed-rate. Using fair values for the debt, the aggregate fair value of Headwaters’ long-term debt as of September 30, 2011 would have been approximately $427.0 million, compared to a carrying value of $527.8 million, and the aggregate fair value as of June 30, 2012 would have been approximately $501.0 million, compared to a carrying value of $503.1 million.

Fair value “Level 2” estimates for long-term debt were based primarily on discounted future cash flows using estimated current risk-adjusted borrowing rates for similar instruments. The fair values for long-term debt differ from the carrying values primarily due to interest rates that differ from current market interest rates and differences between Headwaters’ common stock price at the balance sheet measurement dates and the conversion prices for the convertible senior subordinated notes.

8.Income Taxes

Headwaters’ estimated effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012, exclusive of discrete items, is currently expected to be approximately negative (12)%, which estimated rate was used to calculate income taxes for the June 2012 quarter and nine-month periods. Headwaters has also recognized approximately $1.5 million of

14

HEADWATERS INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2012

(Unaudited)

net income tax benefit for discrete items that did not affect the calculation of the estimated effective income tax rate for the 2012 fiscal year. A majority of the benefit recognized for discrete items represented adjustments related to unrecognized income tax benefits. For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, Headwaters used an estimated effective income tax rate of negative (1)%, excluding approximately $3.2 million of income tax expense for discrete items.

Headwaters utilized its fiscal 2009 and prior year federal net operating losses (NOLs) by carrying those amounts back to prior years, receiving income tax refunds. NOLs and tax credit carryforwards for fiscal 2010 were offset by Headwaters’ existing deferred income tax liabilities resulting in a near $0 deferred tax position as of September 30, 2010. In fiscal 2011, Headwaters recorded a full valuation allowance on its net amortizable deferred tax assets, a situation that is also expected to continue throughout fiscal 2012. Accordingly, Headwaters does not expect to recognize any benefit for pre-tax losses and tax credits in fiscal 2012. A valuation allowance is required when there is significant uncertainty as to the realizability of deferred tax assets. Because the realization of Headwaters’ deferred tax assets is dependent upon future income in domestic and foreign jurisdictions that have generated losses, management determined that Headwaters does not meet the “more likely than not” threshold that NOLs, tax credits and deferred tax assets will be realized. Accordingly, a valuation allowance is required.

The estimated effective income tax rate for fiscal 2012 of negative (12)% is due primarily to the combination of not recognizing benefit for expected pre-tax losses and tax credits, but recognizing current state income taxes in certain state jurisdictions where Headwaters expects to generate taxable income. As of June 30, 2012, Headwaters’ NOL and capital loss carryforwards total approximately $70.9 million (tax effected). The U.S. and state NOLs and capital losses expire from 2012 to 2032. Substantially all of the non-U.S. NOLs do not expire. In addition, there are approximately $22.8 million of tax credit carryforwards as of June 30, 2012, which expire from 2014 to 2032.

The estimated effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 of negative (1)%, which was used to calculate income taxes for the 2011 periods, exclusive of discrete items, resulted from the same factors as the expected negative tax rate for 2012. The discrete items recorded during 2011 consisted primarily of changes in the valuation allowance and uncertain tax positions.

The calculation of tax liabilities involves uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in multiple tax jurisdictions. During 2012, Headwaters reached a tentative agreement with the IRS for the 2009 fiscal year examination, which, as of June 30, 2012, has not resulted in any material changes to earnings or tax-related liabilities. Headwaters currently has open tax years subject to examination by the IRS or other taxing authorities for the years 2009 through 2011. Headwaters recognizes potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and state tax jurisdictions based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes and interest will be due. If events occur (or do not occur) as expected and the payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when it is determined the liabilities are no longer required to be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expense would result. It is reasonably possible that approximately $1.5 million to $3.0 million of Headwaters’ unrecognized income tax benefits will be released within the next 12 months, depending on the timing of ongoing examinations, the expiration of statute of limitation time periods and other factors.

9.Equity Securities and Stock-Based Compensation

Shelf Registration — Headwaters filed a universal shelf registration statement with the SEC under which $210.0 million is available for future offerings of securities. A prospectus supplement describing the terms of any additional securities to be issued is required to be filed before any future offering could commence under the registration statement.

Stock-Based Compensation — Stock-based compensation expense was approximately $0.9 million and $0.5 million for the June 2011 and 2012 quarters, respectively, and $3.0 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, there was approximately $1.2 million of total compensation cost related to unvested awards not yet recognized, which will be recognized in future periods in accordance with applicable vesting terms.

Treasury Shares Held for Deferred Compensation Obligation — In accordance with the terms of the new Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (DDCP) described in Note 12, non-employee directors can elect to defer certain compensation and choose from various options how the deferred compensation will be invested. One of the investment options is Headwaters common stock. When an eligible director chooses Headwaters’ stock as an investment option, Headwaters purchases the common stock in accordance with the director’s request and holds the shares until such time as the deferred compensation obligation becomes payable, normally when the director retires from the Board. At such time, the shares held by Headwaters will be distributed to the director in satisfaction of the obligation. Headwaters accounts for the purchase of common stock as treasury stock, at cost, and the corresponding deferred compensation obligation is reflected in capital in excess of par value. Changes in the fair value of the treasury stock are not recognized. As of June 30, 2012, the treasury stock and related deferred compensation obligation had a fair value of approximately $0.1 million, which amount was not significantly different from the carrying value at cost.

10.Earnings per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the periods indicated. In accordance with ASC 260, income (loss) from continuing operations for each period was used as the control number in determining whether potentially dilutive common shares should be included in the diluted earnings per share computations for those periods, even when the effect of doing so was anti-dilutive to the other per-share amounts.

11.Restructuring Costs

Headwaters recorded restructuring costs in the 2011 fiscal year and during the six months ended March 31, 2012 as a result of actions taken to lower operating costs and improve operational efficiency, primarily in the light building products segment. As reflected in the following table, the charges represent costs for workforce reductions and related

16

HEADWATERS INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2012

(Unaudited)

severance expenses, facility closures and consolidations, and certain asset impairments and write-downs. The restructuring was initiated in fiscal 2011 primarily due to the depressed new housing and residential remodeling markets. This restructuring effort was completed in the March 2012 quarter and no additional restructuring costs related to the 2011 actions have been incurred since that time.

(in thousands)	Expenses incurred in fiscal 2011		Expenses incurred in fiscal 2012		Total expensesincurred

Most of the expenses related to workforce reductions and related severance and approximately half of the expenses related to facility closures and consolidations have resulted or will result in cash outlays. None of the asset impairments and write-downs resulted in cash outlays.

The following table shows the activity in the restructuring cost liability accrual through June 30, 2012. A majority of the remaining unpaid balance as of June 30, 2012 is currently expected to be paid in years subsequent to fiscal 2012 because it relates to lease obligations under long-term facility leases.

12.Commitments and Contingencies

Significant new commitments, material changes in commitments and ongoing contingencies as of June 30, 2012, not disclosed elsewhere, are as follows:

Compensation Arrangements — Cash Performance Unit Awards. In 2009, the Compensation Committee (Committee) approved grants of performance unit awards to certain officers and employees, to be settled in cash, based on the achievement of goals tied to cumulative divisional free cash flow generated subsequent to September 30, 2008 and prior to September 30, 2028. For these awards, free cash flow is generally defined as operating income plus depreciation, amortization and asset impairments, reduced by capital expenditures. Payments vest according to a predetermined schedule as free cash flow accumulates over time.

In 2010, the Committee terminated the performance unit awards for all participants in the corporate business unit and assigned a five-year performance period ending September 30, 2013 to the free cash flow goals, aggregating $850.0 million, for the remaining participating business units. Through June 30, 2012, the remaining business units had generated approximately $286.6 million of free cash flow and incurred approximately $3.3 million of expense for these awards, including approximately $2.6 million which was accrued and unpaid as of June 30, 2012. The maximum payout under the amended performance unit awards if all performance criteria were to be achieved by all participating operating divisions would be approximately $28.1 million; however, due to the shortened five-year term of the performance period, the ultimate payout will be significantly less than the maximum potential payout.

Also in 2010, in accordance with terms of the 2010 ICP, the Committee approved grants of performance unit awards to certain officers and employees in the corporate business unit, to be settled in cash, based on the achievement of goals related to consolidated free cash flow generated in the second half of fiscal 2010. For purposes of these awards, free cash flow is generally defined as operating income plus depreciation, amortization, asset impairments and Section 45 tax credits, reduced by capital expenditures. The awards were calculated using a target compensation amount for each participant and were adjusted, subject to prescribed limitations, based on the actual consolidated free cash flow generated during the six-month performance period ended September 30, 2010, using a threshold/target/maximum adjustment structure. The actual free cash flow generated during the performance period exceeded the maximum level, and the awards provided for 50% vesting as of September 30, 2011, with the remaining 50% to be vested as of September 30, 2012, provided the participant is still employed by Headwaters on the vest dates. Prior to settlement in cash, the awards are further adjusted using Headwaters’ average stock price for the 60 days immediately preceding each vest date.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, Headwaters recorded approximately $0.8 million of expense for the 2010 performance unit awards due to an increase in the average 60-day stock price between September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2012. The change in Headwaters’ stock price through the final vest date of September 30, 2012 will result in adjustment of the expected liability, which adjustment (whether positive or negative) will be reflected in Headwaters’ statement of operations for the September 2012 quarter. Assuming the average closing stock price for the 60 days in the period ended June 30, 2012 of $4.35 remains unchanged for the September 30, 2012 vest date, the total payouts under this arrangement, all of which have been accrued as of June 30, 2012, would be approximately $1.5 million.

In fiscal 2011, in accordance with terms of the 2010 ICP, the Committee approved grants of performance unit awards to participants in the corporate business unit related to consolidated free cash flow generated during fiscal year 2011, with terms similar to those described above for 2010. Because the actual consolidated free cash flow generated during fiscal 2011 was below the threshold, these awards did not vest and no liability was recorded. During the December 2011 quarter, the Committee approved grants to participants in the corporate business unit related to consolidated free cash flow generated during fiscal 2012, again with terms similar to those described above for 2010. As of June 30, 2012, approximately $4.2 million has been recorded for the 2012 grants.

Cash-Settled SAR Grants.  In fiscal 2011, the Committee approved grants to certain employees of approximately 0.4 million cash-settled SARs. These SARs vest in annual installments through September 30, 2013, provided the participant is still employed at the respective vest dates, and will be settled in cash upon exercise by the employee. The SARs terminate on September 30, 2015 and must be exercised on or before that date. As of June 30, 2012, approximately $0.3 million has been accrued for these awards because the stock price at June 30, 2012 was above the grant-date stock price of $3.81. Future changes in Headwaters’ stock price in any amount beyond the grant-date stock price of $3.81 through September 30, 2015 will result in adjustment to the expected liability, which adjustment (whether positive or negative) will be reflected in Headwaters’ statement of operations each quarter.

During the December 2011 quarter, the Committee approved grants to certain officers and employees of approximately 1.0 million cash-settled SARs, with terms similar to those described above, except that these SARs could not vest until and unless the 60-day average stock price exceeded approximately 135% of the stock price on the date of grant (or $2.50), which threshold must occur prior to September 30, 2014. The 60-day average stock price exceeded the required threshold during the March 2012 quarter and approximately $1.5 million has been accrued for these awards as of June 30, 2012. Changes in Headwaters’ stock price in any amount beyond the grant-date stock price of $1.85 through September 30, 2016 will result in adjustment to the expected liability, which adjustment (whether positive or negative) will be reflected in Headwaters’ statement of operations each quarter.

Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (DDCP).  In January 2012, the Board of Directors approved a new deferred compensation plan for non-employee directors of Headwaters. The DDCP is a nonqualified plan that allows Headwaters and eligible directors to make tax-deferred contributions of certain cash compensation. Expenses incurred under the DDCP during the nine months ended June 30, 2012 were approximately $0.3 million.

Property, Plant and Equipment — As of June 30, 2012, Headwaters was committed to spend approximately $1.4 million on capital projects that were in various stages of completion.

Legal Matters — Headwaters has ongoing litigation and asserted claims which have been incurred during the normal course of business, including the specific matters discussed below. Headwaters intends to vigorously defend or resolve these matters by settlement, as appropriate. Management does not currently believe that the outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on Headwaters’ operations, cash flow or financial position.

Historically, until fiscal 2011, costs paid to outside legal counsel for litigation comprised a majority of Headwaters’ litigation-related costs. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, Headwaters incurred approximately $16.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of expense for legal matters. Headwaters currently believes the range of potential loss for all unresolved legal matters, excluding costs for outside counsel, is from $16.0 million up to the amounts sought by claimants and has recorded a total liability as of June 30, 2012 of $16.0 million, of which $15.0 million was incurred during the March 2011 quarter. Claims and damages sought by claimants in excess of this amount are not deemed to be probable. Headwaters’ outside counsel and management currently believe that unfavorable outcomes of outstanding litigation are neither probable nor remote. Accordingly, management cannot express an opinion as to the ultimate amount, if any, of Headwaters’ liability, nor is it possible to estimate what litigation-related costs will be in future periods.

The specific matters discussed below raise difficult and complex legal and factual issues, and the resolution of these issues is subject to many uncertainties, including the facts and circumstances of each case, the jurisdiction in which each case is brought, and the future decisions of juries, judges, and arbitrators. Therefore, although management believes that the claims asserted against Headwaters in the named cases lack merit, there is a possibility of material losses in excess of the amounts accrued if one or more of the cases were to be determined adversely against Headwaters for a substantial amount of the damages asserted. It is possible that a change in the estimates of probable liability could occur, and the changes could be material. Additionally, as with any litigation, these proceedings require that Headwaters incur substantial costs, including attorneys’ fees, managerial time and other personnel resources, in pursuing resolution.

Boynton.  In 1998, Headwaters entered into a technology purchase agreement with James G. Davidson and Adtech, Inc. The transaction transferred certain patent and royalty rights to Headwaters related to a synthetic fuel technology invented by Davidson. In 2002, Headwaters received a summons and complaint from the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee filed by former stockholders of Adtech alleging, among other things, fraud, conspiracy, constructive trust, conversion, patent infringement and interference with contract arising out of the 1998 technology purchase agreement entered into between Davidson and Adtech on the one hand, and Headwaters on the other. All claims against Headwaters were dismissed in pretrial proceedings except claims of conspiracy and constructive trust. The District Court certified a class comprised of substantially all purported stockholders of Adtech, Inc. The plaintiffs sought compensatory damages from Headwaters in the approximate amount of $43.0 million plus prejudgment interest and punitive damages. In June 2009, a jury reached a verdict in a trial in the amount of $8.7 million for the eight named plaintiffs representing a portion of the class members. In September 2010, a jury reached a verdict after a trial for the remaining 46 members of the class in the amount of $7.3 million.  In April 2011, the trial court entered an order for a constructive trust in the amount of approximately $16.0 million (the same amount as the sum of the previous jury verdicts), denied all other outstanding motions, and entered judgment against Headwaters in the total approximate amount of $16.0 million, in accordance with the verdicts and order on constructive trust. The $16.0 million is fully accrued. The court denied all post-judgment motions by the parties. Headwaters filed a supersedeas bond and a notice of appeal from the judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Plaintiffs also filed notice of an appeal. The Federal Circuit has transferred the case to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit on the basis of jurisdiction. Because the resolution of the litigation is uncertain, legal counsel and management cannot express an opinion as to the ultimate amount, if any, of Headwaters’ liability.

EPA.  In April 2012, Headwaters Resources, Inc. (HRI) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The complaint alleges that the EPA has failed to review, and where necessary, revise applicable RCRA subtitle D regulations applicable to the disposal

(Unaudited)

of coal ash within the timeframe required by statute. Other parties also have initiated litigation against the EPA alleging the same (and other) failures of the EPA to perform its duties regarding coal ash disposal regulations. HRI’s complaint seeks declaratory relief and should provide HRI an opportunity to represent its interests before the court makes orders with respect to EPA rulemaking at issue in the case. The court has consolidated HRI’s case with related actions brought by other parties. Because the resolution of the litigation is uncertain, legal counsel and management cannot express an opinion as to the ultimate outcome.

Fentress Families Trust.  VFL Technology Corporation (VFL), acquired by HRI in 2004, provides services related to fly ash management to Virginia Electric and Power Company. In February 2012, 383 plaintiffs, most of whom are residents living in the City of Chesapeake, Virginia, filed a complaint in the State of Virginia Chesapeake Circuit Court against 15 defendants, including Virginia Electric and Power Company, and certain other persons associated with the Battlefield Golf Course, including owners, developers, contractors, and others, including VFL and Headwaters, alleging causes of action for nuisance and negligence. The complaint alleges that fly ash used to construct the golf course was carried in the air and contaminated water exposing plaintiffs to dangerous chemicals and causing property damage. Plaintiffs’ complaint seeks injunctive relief and damages of approximately $850.0 million for removal and remediation of the fly ash and the water supply, $1.9 billion for vexation, $8.0 million and other unspecified amounts for personal injuries, and $55.0 million as damages to properties, plus prejudgment interest, attorney fees, and costs. In a related case, other plaintiffs have filed a separate lawsuit asserting the same claims against the same defendants claiming additional damages totaling approximately $307.2 million. VFL and Headwaters have not yet been served with either complaint. These new cases are based on substantially the same alleged circumstances asserted in complaints filed by the plaintiffs in 2009 and voluntarily dismissed in 2010. HRI has filed insurance claims, which are the subject of dispute and a separate lawsuit, although insurance is paying for the defense of the underlying case. The amount of the claims against HRI exceeds the amount of insurance. Because resolution of the litigation is uncertain, legal counsel and management cannot express an opinion as to the ultimate amount, if any, of HRI’s liability, or the insurers’ obligation to indemnify HRI against loss, if any.

Neil Wallace.  The plaintiff, Neil Wallace, filed a complaint in the State of Virginia Chesapeake Circuit Court against Virginia Electric and Power Company and related entities (VEPCO), VFL and Headwaters alleging personal injuries arising from exposure to the fly ash used to build the golf course described in the Fentress Families Trust case. Plaintiff claims that he worked on the golf course site from 2002-2007 and that as a result, he contracted kidney cancer. Plaintiff was the managing member and corporate counsel of CPM Virginia, LLC (CPM). CPM was a fly ash manager for VEPCO and was an owner and developer of the golf course. Plaintiff claims damages of $10.0 million. VFL and HRI have not yet been served with the complaint. HRI expects that its insurers will defend and indemnify HRI and VFL. Because resolution of the litigation is uncertain, legal counsel and management cannot express an opinion as to the ultimate amount, if any, of HRI’s liability, or the insurers’ obligation to indemnify HRI against loss, if any.

Oxford Mining Company.  In 2007, Covol Fuels No. 2, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Headwaters Energy Services Corp. (Covol), entered into an agreement for the sale of coal produced by Covol from certain operations in Kentucky.  In 2009, the agreement was assigned by the buyer to Oxford Mining Company—Kentucky, LLC (Oxford).  Covol claims that the economically recoverable source coal for the agreement is exhausted and that as a result, the agreement has terminated.  In October 2011, Covol filed a petition in the Franklin Circuit Court of the Commonwealth of Kentucky seeking declaratory judgment that the agreement has terminated.  In December 2011, Oxford answered, denying that the agreement was terminated and requesting that the court dismiss Covol’s petition.  Oxford also filed a counterclaim alleging that Covol is in breach of the agreement for failing to provide coal and that Oxford’s present and anticipated damages are estimated to be at least $5.0 million, in addition to its costs associated with the litigation, including attorneys’ fees.  Covol denies the counterclaim. Because the resolution of the litigation is uncertain, legal counsel and management cannot express an opinion as to the ultimate amount, if any, of Covol’s liability.

Reechcraft.  In 2006, Tapco International Corporation entered into a contract with Reechcraft, Inc. for Reechcraft to manufacture and supply sheet metal bending tools, accessories for those tools, and specialized scaffolding systems to Tapco. Reechcraft claims that Tapco failed to purchase the quantity of products required under the contract. In July 2012, Reechcraft filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association in Chicago, Illinois, claiming

20

(Unaudited)

damages of $3.1 million, in addition to interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. Tapco denies Reechcraft’s allegations. Because the resolution of the arbitration is uncertain, legal counsel and management cannot express an opinion as to the ultimate amount, if any, of Tapco’s liability.

Archstone.  Archstone owns an apartment complex in Westbury, New York. Archstone alleges that moisture penetrated the building envelope and damaged moisture sensitive parts of the buildings which began to rot and grow mold. In 2008, Archstone evicted its tenants and began repairing the 21 apartment buildings. Also in 2008, Archstone filed a complaint in the Nassau County Supreme Court of the State of New York against the prime contractor and its performance bond surety, the designer, and Eldorado Stone, LLC which supplied architectural stone that was installed by others during construction. The prime contractor then sued over a dozen subcontractors who in turn sued others. Archstone claims as damages approximately $36.0 million in repair costs, $15.0 million in lost lease payments, $7.0 million paid to tenants who sued Archstone, and $7.0 million for class action defense fees, plus prejudgment interest and attorney’s fees. Eldorado Stone answered denying liability and tendered the matter to its insurers who are paying for the defense of the case. The court has dismissed all claims against Eldorado Stone, except the claim of negligence, and the parties are pursuing an interlocutory appeal of the order of dismissal. Meanwhile, discovery is underway. Because the resolution of the action is uncertain, legal counsel and management cannot express an opinion concerning the likely outcome of this matter, the liability of Eldorado Stone, if any, or the insurers’ obligation to indemnify Eldorado Stone against loss, if any.

Headwaters Building Products Matters.  There are litigation and pending and threatened claims made against certain subsidiaries of Headwaters Building Products (HBP), a division within Headwaters’ light building products segment, with respect to several types of exterior finish systems manufactured and sold by its subsidiaries for application by contractors on residential and commercial buildings. Typically, litigation and these claims are defended by such subsidiaries’ insurance carriers. The plaintiffs or claimants in these matters have alleged that the structures have suffered damage from latent or progressive water penetration due to some alleged failure of the building product or wall system. One claim involves alleged defects associated with components of an Exterior Insulating and Finish System (EIFS) which was produced for a limited time (through 1997) by the HBP subsidiaries. Other claims involve alleged liabilities associated with certain stucco, mortar, aerated concrete block and architectural stone products which are produced and sold by certain subsidiaries of HBP. The Archstone case summarized above is an example of these types of claims.

Typically, the claims cite damages for alleged personal injuries and punitive damages for alleged unfair business practices in addition to asserting more conventional damage claims for alleged economic loss and damage to property. To date, claims made against such subsidiaries have been paid by their insurers, with the exception of deductibles or self-insured retentions, although such insurance carriers typically have issued “reservation of rights” letters. There is no guarantee of insurance coverage or continuing coverage. These and future proceedings may result in substantial costs to HBP, including attorneys’ fees, managerial time and other personnel resources and costs. Adverse resolution of these proceedings could have a materially negative effect on HBP’s business, financial condition, and results of operation, and its ability to meet its financial obligations. Although HBP carries general and product liability insurance, HBP cannot assure that such insurance coverage will remain available, that HBP’s insurance carrier will remain viable, or that the insured amounts will cover all future claims in excess of HBP’s uninsured retention. Future rate increases may also make such insurance uneconomical for HBP to maintain. In addition, the insurance policies maintained by HBP exclude claims for damages resulting from exterior insulating finish systems, or EIFS, that have manifested after March 2003. Because resolution of the litigation and claims is uncertain, legal counsel and management cannot express an opinion as to the ultimate amount, if any, of HBP’s liability.

Other.  Headwaters and its subsidiaries are also involved in other legal proceedings that have arisen in the normal course of business.

13.Equity Method Investee

Investments in entities in which Headwaters has a significant influence over operating and financial decisions are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. One such equity method investee was Blue Flint Ethanol LLC

(Blue Flint). Effective January 1, 2012, Headwaters sold its interest in Blue Flint for approximately $18.5 million. Subsequent to Headwaters’ initial investment in Blue Flint, equity earnings in excess of $15.0 million were recorded that increased Headwaters’ carrying value of the investment to an amount that was in excess of the sales proceeds. As a result, in December 2011, a non-cash loss of approximately $6.3 million was recorded in other expense in the statement of operations.

14.Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

Headwaters’ 7-5/8% senior secured notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Headwaters Incorporated and by all of Headwaters’ wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The non-guaranteeing entities include primarily joint ventures in which Headwaters had a non-controlling ownership interest. Separate stand-alone financial statements and disclosures for Headwaters Incorporated and each of the guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because the guarantees are full and unconditional and the guarantor subsidiaries have joint and several liability. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of Headwaters Incorporated to obtain funds from the guarantor subsidiaries nor on the ability of the guarantor subsidiaries to obtain funds from Headwaters Incorporated or other guarantor subsidiaries.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Form 10-Q. Our fiscal year ends on September 30 and unless otherwise noted, references to 2011 refer to our fiscal quarter and / or nine months ended June 30, 2011 and references to 2012 refer to our fiscal quarter and / or nine months ended June 30, 2012. Other references to years refer to our fiscal year rather than a calendar year.

Overview

Consolidation and Segments.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Headwaters, all of our subsidiaries, and other entities in which we have a controlling interest. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

We currently operate primarily in two construction-oriented industries: light building products and heavy construction materials. Our third non-core operating segment is in energy technology. In the light building products segment, we design, manufacture, and sell manufactured architectural stone, exterior siding accessories (such as shutters, mounting blocks, and vents), concrete block and other building products. Revenues consist of product sales to wholesale and retail distributors, contractors and other users of building products. Revenues in the heavy construction materials segment consist primarily of CCP product sales, including fly ash used as an admixture in concrete, along with a smaller amount from services provided to utilities relating to the disposal of CCPs. In the energy technology segment, we are focused on reducing waste and increasing the value of energy-related feedstocks, primarily in the areas of low-value coal and oil. In the past, revenues for the energy technology segment have consisted primarily of coal sales; however, in September 2011 we committed to a plan to sell our coal cleaning facilities and since then the coal cleaning business has been presented as a discontinued operation. Currently, continuing revenues for the energy technology segment consist primarily of catalyst sales to oil refineries.

Operations and Strategy.  During the past ten years, we have executed our two-fold plan of maximizing cash flow from our existing operating business units and diversifying away from our historical reliance on energy technology businesses. Our past acquisition strategy targeted businesses that were leading companies in their respective industries and that had strong operating margins, thus providing additional cash flow that complemented the financial performance of our existing businesses. With the addition and expansion of our CCP management and marketing business through acquisitions beginning in 2002, and the growth of our light building products business through several acquisitions beginning in 2004, we achieved revenue growth and diversification in three business segments. In 2005 and subsequent years, we focused on the integration of our large 2004 acquisitions, including the marketing of diverse kinds of building products through our national distribution network. In 2006, we began to acquire small companies in the light building products industry with innovative products that could be marketed using the distribution channels we developed over many years.

During 2008 and 2009, we developed the coal cleaning business in the energy technology segment, which is now classified as a discontinued operation. As the economy deteriorated beginning in late 2008, we focused on operational efficiency improvements and cost reductions, particularly in the light building products and heavy construction materials segments, in order to strengthen our balance sheet. The emphasis on cost reductions culminated in a restructuring effort initiated in fiscal 2011 and completed in March 2012, but cost control remains an area of ongoing focus.

Light Building Products Segment.  Our light building products segment has been significantly affected by the depressed new housing and residential remodeling markets. Accordingly, we have significantly reduced operating costs to be positively positioned to take advantage of a sustained industry turnaround when it occurs.

A severe decline in new housing starts and in home sales generally began in 2007 and continues to the present. Bank foreclosures have put a large number of homes into the market for sale, effectively limiting some of the incentives to build new homes. During calendar 2011, the homebuilding industry continued to experience soft demand for new homes and an oversupply of new and existing homes available for sale. In addition to new construction, our light building products business also relies on the home improvement and remodeling markets. Limits on credit availability, further home foreclosures, home price depreciation, and an oversupply of homes for sale in the market may adversely affect homeowners’ and/or homebuilders’ ability or desire to engage in construction or remodeling, resulting in an extended period of low new construction starts and reduced remodeling and repair activities.

We, like many others in the light building products industry, experienced a large drop in orders and a reduction in our margins in 2008 and 2009 relative to prior years. In 2007, 2008 and 2009, we recorded significant goodwill impairments associated with our light building products business, although none of those impairment charges affected our cash position,

31

cash flow from operating activities or debt covenant compliance. Weakness continued in fiscal 2010 and 2011 and still exists, although there are nascent signs of a possible market stabilization occurring in many areas of the country. It is not possible to know when improved market conditions and a housing recovery will become sustainable and we can provide no assurances that the light building products market will improve in the near future.

While mortgage and home equity loan interest rates have decreased, volatility continues to exist in credit and equity markets, increased borrowing requirements prevent many potential buyers from qualifying for home mortgages and equity loans and there exists a continued lack of consumer confidence. Continued tightness of mortgage lending or mortgage financing requirements could adversely affect the availability of credit for purchasers of our products and thereby reduce our sales. There could be a number of follow-on effects from the credit crisis on our business, including the inability of prospective homebuyers or remodelers to obtain credit for financing the purchase of our building products. These and other similar factors could continue to cause decisions to delay or forego new home construction or improvement projects, cause our customers to delay or decide not to purchase our building products, or lead to a decline in customer transactions and our financial performance.

Heavy Construction Materials Segment.  Our business strategy in the heavy construction materials industry is to negotiate long-term contracts with suppliers, supported by investment in transportation and storage infrastructure for the marketing and sale of CCPs. Demand for CCPs is somewhat dependent on federal and state funding of infrastructure projects, which has decreased in recent years as compared to earlier periods. We are continuing our efforts to expand the demand for high-quality CCPs, develop more uses for lower-quality CCPs, and expand our CCP disposal services and site service revenue generated from CCP management. While all of our businesses have been affected by the current recession, the impact on our heavy construction materials segment has been somewhat less severe than on our light building products segment.

Energy Technology Segment.  We own and operate coal cleaning facilities that remove impurities from waste coal, resulting in higher-value, marketable coal. In fiscal 2011, we assessed the strategic fit of our various operations and decided to divest of certain businesses in the energy technology segment which do not align with our long-term strategy. In September 2011, the Board of Directors committed to a plan to sell the coal cleaning business and we currently expect to sell all, or substantially all, of the remaining business before the end of calendar 2012.

During fiscal 2010, 2011 and 2012, many of our coal cleaning assets were idled or produced coal at low levels of capacity and were cash flow negative for these or other reasons. As a result, we recorded coal cleaning asset impairments in those years, including an impairment charge in 2012, to reduce the carrying value of the assets to fair value less estimated selling costs. Management used its best efforts to reasonably estimate all of the inputs in the cash flow models utilized to calculate the impairment charges; however, materially different input estimates and assumptions, including the probabilities of differing potential outcomes, would necessarily result in materially different calculations of expected future cash flows and asset fair values and materially different impairment estimates.

Currently, continuing revenues for the energy technology segment consist primarily of catalyst sales. In fiscal 2011, we announced the decision by a refinery to commercially implement our HCAT® technology following a lengthy evaluation of the technology and we currently expect to have additional HCAT® customers in future years. We continue to invest in research and development activities focused on energy-related technologies and nanotechnology, but at decreased levels compared to earlier years. Through December 31, 2011, we participated in a joint venture that operates an ethanol plant located in North Dakota. We sold our interest in that joint venture effective January 1, 2012. We also participated in a joint venture that owns a hydrogen peroxide plant in South Korea, but we sold our interest in that joint venture in fiscal 2010.

Seasonality and Weather.  Both our light building products and our heavy construction materials segments are greatly impacted by seasonality. Revenues, profitability and EBITDA are generally highest in the June and September quarters. Further, both segments are affected by weather to the extent it impacts construction activities.

Debt and Liquidity.  We became highly leveraged as a result of acquisitions, but reduced our outstanding debt significantly through 2008 by using cash generated from operations, from underwritten public offerings of common stock and from proceeds from settlement of litigation. During 2005 through 2008, we made several early repayments of our long-term debt, but in subsequent years early repayments of long-term debt decreased, primarily due to our investments of available cash in the development of our coal cleaning business.

In fiscal 2010, we issued 11-3/8% senior secured notes for net proceeds of approximately $316.2 million. We used approximately $260.0 million of the proceeds to repay all of our obligations under the former senior secured credit facility and our outstanding 2.875% convertible senior subordinated notes. We also entered into a $70.0 million asset based revolving loan facility (ABL Revolver) which is currently undrawn. During fiscal 2010 and 2011, we repaid most of our 16% convertible senior subordinated notes and a large portion of our 14.75% convertible senior subordinated notes, largely with

32

proceeds from the sale of our interest in the South Korean hydrogen peroxide joint venture and a 2010 federal income tax refund. In March 2011, we again restructured our long-term debt by issuing $400.0 million of 7-5/8% senior secured notes for net proceeds of approximately $392.8 million. We used most of those net proceeds to repay the 11-3/8% senior secured notes issued in fiscal 2010 and the related early repayment premium of approximately $59.0 million. The 7-5/8% senior secured notes mature in April 2019 while the 11-3/8% notes were scheduled to mature in 2014. During fiscal 2012, we have continued to repurchase our convertible senior subordinated notes and we also issued approximately $49.8 million of new 8.75% convertible senior subordinated notes due in February 2016, in exchange for cancellation of an equal amount of outstanding 2.50 notes due in February 2014.

Capital expenditures in fiscal 2010 and 2011 were significantly lower than in prior years and this trend continues in fiscal 2012. This has allowed us to focus on liquidity and the early repayment of debt and has enabled us to continue implementing our overall operational strategy. We currently have approximately $29.0 million of cash on hand and total liquidity of approximately $80.1 million. Additional cash flow is expected to be generated from operations over the next 12 months.

In summary, our strategy for fiscal 2012 and subsequent years is to continue capital expenditures at reduced levels, continue activities to improve operational efficiencies and reduce operating costs, and to reduce our outstanding debt levels to the extent possible using cash on hand, cash flow from operations and cash from the sale of non-core assets. We also may review strategic acquisitions of products or entities that expand our current operating platform when opportunities arise.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

The information set forth below compares our operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2012 (2012) with operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2011 (2011). Except as noted, the references to captions in the statements of operations refer to continuing operations only.

Summary.  Our total revenue for 2012 was $175.6 million, up 9% from $160.7 million for 2011. Gross profit increased 19%, from $44.0 million in 2011 to $52.4 million in 2012. Our 2012 operating income was $15.9 million compared to operating income of $13.6 million in 2011, and income from continuing operations for both 2012 and 2011 was $2.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share in 2011 and $0.03 per diluted share in 2012. Our net loss including discontinued operations increased from $(6.3) million, or a diluted loss per share of $(0.10), in 2011, to a net loss of $(13.0) million, or $(0.21) per diluted share, in 2012.

Revenue and Gross Margins.  The major components of revenue, along with gross margins, are discussed in the sections below, by segment.

Light Building Products Segment.  Sales of light building products in 2012 were $97.2 million with a corresponding gross profit of $30.6 million. Sales of light building products in 2011 were $91.6 million with a corresponding gross profit of $25.5 million. We experienced growth in our siding group primarily from new product offerings, but also from improved end markets. Growth in architectural stone was driven by increased market share and improved end domestic markets. Revenue in siding and stone benefited from both price and volume increases. Revenue in our concrete block product group declined because of slower school construction in the Texas market, although we are starting to see some increases in sales from new products and retail channel sales. In fiscal 2011, we implemented a major restructuring initiative which positively impacted the gross margin. We continue to focus on cost reduction measures, resulting in improved efficiencies and better economic performance.

The significant weakness in the new housing and residential remodeling markets which began several years ago appears to be stabilizing somewhat in 2012. We believe our niche strategy and our focus on productivity improvements and cost reductions have tempered somewhat the impact of the severe slowdown in the housing market; however, the recession has resulted in high unemployment, adding to the high level of home foreclosures, putting additional homes on the market and further reducing the demand for new construction.

According to the National Association of Home Builders, the most current 10- and 50-year averages for new housing starts were 1.3 million and 1.5 million units, respectively. New housing starts were 0.6 million units in both calendar 2010 and 2011. Further, during the last 50 years, the four years with the lowest number of housing starts were 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. As of June 2012, the seasonally adjusted annual number of new housing starts was 0.8 million units. Our light building products business relies on the home improvement and remodeling market as well as new construction. The U.S. Census Bureau’s Value of Private Residential Construction Spending Put in Place data on homeowner improvement activity shows that the four-quarter moving average peaked at $146.2 billion in the second quarter of calendar 2007, fell to a subsequent low of $110.7 billion in the first quarter of calendar 2011, then rose to $114.8 billion in the first quarter of calendar 2012, the latest quarter for which actual data is available. The Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity estimate issued by the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University is that the four-quarter moving average will be $128.9 billion in the first quarter of calendar 2013.

Given our market leadership positions and reduced cost structure, we believe that we are positioned to benefit from a sustained recovery in the housing market when it occurs. We believe the long-term growth prospects in the industry are strong because the current seasonally-adjusted annualized housing starts are still well below the 10- and 50-year averages. According to a 2009 report by the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, the nation’s housing stock would need to accommodate approximately 12.5 million to 14.8 million additional households due to population growth over the subsequent decade, or approximately 1.3 million to 1.5 million households per year.

Heavy Construction Materials Segment.  Heavy construction materials revenues for 2012 were $74.7 million with a corresponding gross profit of $19.9 million. Heavy construction materials revenues for 2011 were $62.4 million with a corresponding gross profit of $15.2 million. We experienced revenue growth in both CCP sales and in CCP services provided to utilities, but certain utilities experienced unplanned outages and lower electricity demand, reducing overall service activities from expected levels. We continued to experience year-over-year growth in product shipments and we were awarded two new CCP management contracts during the quarter. We anticipate that the record high temperatures will have a positive impact on coal consumption, increasing service revenue over the next several months. The improvement in gross margin was primarily the result of improved product sales, product mix and our continuous improvement efforts to lower costs.

It is not possible to accurately predict the future trends of either cement consumption or cement prices, nor the correlation between cement usage and prices and fly ash sales and prices. Nevertheless, because fly ash is sold as a replacement for portland cement in a wide variety of concrete uses—including infrastructure, commercial, and residential construction—statistics and trends for portland and blended cement sales can be an indicator for fly ash sales. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Producer Price Index for cement declined 1.5% from September 2010 to September 2011. According to the Portland Cement Association (PCA), cement consumption increased approximately 3.0% in calendar 2011. In April 2012, the PCA’s cement consumption forecast reflected the following increases for calendar 2012 through 2016:

Year ending December 31:	(percent increase)
2012	3.7	%
2013	7.4	%
2014	13.8	%
2015	11.7	%
2016	8.3	%

Low natural gas prices and EPA regulations have combined to force the shutdown of several coal combustion power plants, negatively impacting the supply of CCPs for beneficial use. However, we have multiple sources of supply and a broad distribution system, which allows us to backfill CCPs in locations where power plants have closed, creating an opportunity for potential growth.

In June 2010, the EPA proposed two alternative rules to regulate CCPs generated by electric utilities and independent power producers. One proposed option would classify CCPs disposed of in surface impoundments or landfills as “special wastes” subject to federal hazardous waste regulation under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The second proposed option would instead regulate CCPs as non-hazardous waste under Subtitle D of RCRA, with states retaining the lead authority on regulating their handling, storage and disposal. Under both options, the current exemption from hazardous waste regulation for CCPs that are used for beneficial purposes would remain in effect. However, the EPA has received comments on refining the definition of beneficial uses subject to the exemption, which could result in a narrowing of the scope of exempt uses in the final rule to certain encapsulated uses. Both rule options are controversial.

On April 18, 2012 the House of Representatives passed a short-term extension of existing transportation funding, creating an opportunity to hold a conference with the Senate, which had previously passed a new transportation bill. The House added its fly ash bill (H.R. 2273) to the short-term transportation extension, resulting in fly ash disposal legislation also moving to conference with the Senate. However, the fly ash language was not added to the final transportation bill. We are seeking another vehicle to which we can attach the language. Importantly, we have gained significant bipartisan Senate support for a legislative solution to the issues surrounding fly ash disposal.

To date, there has been minimal activity in the environmental litigation associated with fly ash disposal. We do not anticipate any decision in the litigation in 2012.

Finally, the EPA has not completed its risk evaluation of encapsulated beneficial use of fly ash. When the risk evaluation is complete, we believe that the EPA may apply the risk evaluation methodology to concrete and wall board, two examples of encapsulated products, confirming the historical consensus that there is no environmental exposure associated with the use of fly ash as a partial replacement for portland cement in concrete.

34

At this time, it is not possible to predict the form that potential legislation or final regulations will take. Either of the proposed options proposed by the EPA is likely to increase the complexity and cost of managing and disposing of CCPs. If the EPA decides to regulate CCPs as hazardous waste under RCRA Subtitle C, CCPs would become subject to a variety of regulations. Regulation of CCPs as hazardous waste would likely have an adverse effect on beneficial use and sales of CCPs and our relationships with utilities. There can be no guarantee that such regulations would not reduce fly ash supplies or our ability to market fly ash and other CCPs for certain uses, which would have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

Energy Technology Segment.  Energy technology segment revenues for 2012 were $3.7 million with a corresponding gross profit of $1.9 million. Revenues for 2011 were $6.6 million with a corresponding gross profit of $3.3 million. Following the decision to sell the coal cleaning business and the sale of our interest in the Blue Flint ethanol plant, our energy technology segment currently consists primarily of operations related to our heavy oil upgrading catalyst. Catalyst sales in 2012 were lower than in 2011 primarily due to reduced usage at one of our customer facilities and the timing of shipments.

Operating Expenses, including Restructuring Costs.  Amortization of intangible assets decreased in 2012 from 2011 due to assets that have been fully amortized. Research and development expenses increased approximately $0.9 million from 2011 to 2012, primarily due to changes in long-term incentive compensation expense tied in part to changes in our stock price. The stock price increased during the June 2012 quarter, but decreased during the June 2011 quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $6.2 million, from $23.0 million in 2011 to $29.2 million in 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to increased incentive compensation in 2012, due to compensation tied to improved performance and changes in our stock price. We normally record the majority of our incentive compensation in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year due to the seasonality of our business.

In 2011, we recorded $0.4 million of restructuring costs as a result of actions taken in fiscal 2011 to lower operating costs and improve operational efficiency, primarily in the light building products segment. The charges consisted primarily of workforce reductions and related severance expenses as described in more detail in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements. The restructuring was initiated in fiscal 2011 primarily due to the depressed new housing and residential remodeling markets. This restructuring effort was completed in the March 2012 quarter and no additional restructuring costs related to the 2011 actions have been incurred since that time.

Other Income and Expense.  For 2012, we reported net other expense of $15.9 million, compared to net other expense of $11.6 million for 2011. The increase of $4.3 million was comprised of an increase in net interest expense of approximately $2.7 million and a decrease in net other income of approximately $1.6 million.

Net interest expense increased from $13.3 million in 2011 to $16.0 million in 2012 due primarily to accelerated debt discount and debt issue cost amortization of approximately $5.2 million related to the 2012 early retirements of our convertible senior subordinated debt, described in detail in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. In 2011, there was only $1.3 million of interest expense related to early retirements of debt. Partially offsetting the increase in accelerated debt discount and debt issue cost amortization in 2012 was reduced interest expense on lower balances of outstanding long-term debt in 2012, due to early repayments of debt during the 12 months ended June 30, 2012. Based on current balances of outstanding long-term debt and assuming there are no additional early retirements of debt during the September 2012 quarter, interest expense in fiscal 2012 is currently expected to total approximately $53.0 million.

The decrease in net other income of $1.6 million was primarily the result of approximately $1.7 million of income in 2011 related to our equity interest in the Blue Flint joint venture which was sold effective January 1, 2012.

Income Tax Provision.  Reference is made to Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for a detailed description of the negative estimated effective income tax rates used to record the income tax benefit in 2011 and 2012, including the reasons for recording a full valuation allowance on net operating losses, tax credits and other deferred tax assets in both periods. We currently expect to record a full valuation allowance on our net amortizable deferred tax assets until some point in time after our return to profitability.

Discontinued Operations.  Coal sales of $6.6 million in 2012 were lower than sales of $9.9 million in 2011 due primarily to a curtailment of operations pending the sale of the coal cleaning assets. Due to low capacity utilization, idled facilities and feedstock issues, the cost of revenue and operating expenses for the coal cleaning business exceeded revenues in both periods. In addition, we recorded a $13.0 million impairment of the coal cleaning assets in 2012. We sold one coal cleaning facility in 2012 and currently expect to sell all, or substantially all, of the remaining business before the end of calendar 2012. The pressure put on coal by low natural gas prices and the EPA has increased the difficulty of concluding a transaction. It is currently expected that some losses will be incurred in operating and maintaining the coal cleaning facilities

35

until such time as they are sold; however, it is not currently possible to know when the facilities will be sold, or what the losses might be until that time.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011

The information set forth below compares our operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 (2012) with operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 (2011). Except as noted, the references to captions in the statements of operations refer to continuing operations only.

Summary.  Our total revenue for 2012 was $442.7 million, up 8% from $409.7 million for 2011. Gross profit increased 22%, from $96.9 million in 2011 to $118.4 million in 2012. Our 2012 operating income was $18.5 million compared to an operating loss of $(19.4) million in 2011, and the loss from continuing operations decreased to $(29.5) million, or $(0.48) per diluted share, from $(130.6) million, or $(2.16) per diluted share, in 2011. Our net loss including discontinued operations decreased from $(183.2) million, or a diluted loss per share of $(3.03), in 2011, to a net loss of $(57.3) million, or $(0.94) per diluted share, in 2012. There were several significant non-routine adjustments recorded in 2011, in the March 2011 quarter, including approximately $68.9 million of interest expense related to our senior debt refinancing (of which approximately $59.0 million was for the early repayment premium relating to the repurchase of our 11-3/8% senior secured notes), $37.0 million of coal cleaning asset impairments, and $15.0 million of accrued legal costs related to a judgment in an ongoing legal matter. These adjustments and others are discussed in more detail below.

Revenue and Gross Margins.  The major components of revenue, along with gross margins, are discussed in the sections below, by segment.

Light Building Products Segment.  Sales of light building products in 2012 were $244.8 million with a corresponding gross profit of $68.3 million. Sales of light building products in 2011 were $224.0 million with a corresponding gross profit of $52.1 million. We experienced growth in our siding group primarily from new product offerings, but also from improved end markets. Growth in architectural stone was driven by increased market share and improved end domestic markets. Revenue in siding and stone benefited from both price and volume increases. Revenue in our concrete block product group declined primarily because of slower school construction in the Texas market. In fiscal 2011, we implemented a major restructuring initiative which positively impacted the gross margin. We continue to focus on cost reduction measures, resulting in improved efficiencies and better economic performance.

Heavy Construction Materials Segment.  Heavy construction materials revenues for 2012 were $189.1 million with a corresponding gross profit of $45.8 million. Heavy construction materials revenues for 2011 were $170.7 million with a corresponding gross profit of $37.7 million. We experienced revenue growth in both CCP sales and in CCP services provided to utilities. The improvement in gross margin was primarily the result of improved product sales, product mix and our continuous improvement efforts to lower costs.

Energy Technology Segment.  Energy technology segment revenues for 2012 were $8.8 million with a corresponding gross profit of $4.3 million. Revenues for 2011 were $14.9 million with a corresponding gross profit of $7.2 million. Catalyst sales in 2012 were lower than in 2011 primarily due to reduced usage at one of our customer facilities and the timing of shipments.

Operating Expenses, including Restructuring Costs.  Amortization of intangible assets decreased in 2012 from 2011 due to assets that have been fully amortized. Research and development expenses increased approximately $0.8 million from 2011 to 2012, primarily due to changes in long-term incentive compensation expense tied in part to changes in our stock price. The stock price increased during 2012, but decreased during 2011. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $12.1 million, from $88.3 million in 2011 to $76.2 million in 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to $15.0 million of litigation expense recognized in 2011, as described in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, and cost reductions initiated in late fiscal 2011, partially offset by increased incentive compensation in 2012 (due to compensation tied to improved performance and changes in our stock price).

In 2011 and 2012, we recorded $6.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of restructuring costs as a result of actions taken in fiscal 2011 to lower operating costs and improve operational efficiency, primarily in the light building products segment, all as described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements.

Other Income and Expense.  For 2012, we reported net other expense of $46.2 million, compared to net other expense of $108.3 million for 2011. The decrease of $62.1 million was comprised of a decrease in net interest expense of approximately $70.9 million and a decrease in net other income / increase in net other expense of approximately $8.8 million.

Net interest expense decreased from $112.8 million in 2011 to $41.9 million in 2012 due primarily to approximately $59.0 million of premium relating to the 2011 early retirement of our 11-3/8% senior secured notes plus approximately $8.8

36

million of accelerated debt discount and debt issue costs associated with that early repayment, along with approximately $3.0 million of reduced interest expense from the lower-rate senior debt outstanding in 2012 as compared to the higher-rate senior debt outstanding for most of 2011.

The decrease in net other income / increase in net other expense of $8.8 million was primarily the result of approximately $4.2 million of income in 2011 related to our equity interest in the Blue Flint joint venture compared to approximately $6.4 of expense in 2012 (including a loss on sale of approximately $6.2 million), partially offset by a gain of $2.3 million from the early repayments of convertible debt in 2012.

Income Tax Provision.  Reference is made to Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for a detailed description of the negative estimated effective income tax rates used to record income tax expense in 2011 and 2012, including the reasons for recording a full valuation allowance on net operating losses, tax credits and other deferred tax assets in both periods.

Discontinued Operations.  Coal sales of $16.4 million in 2012 were lower than sales of $40.3 million in 2011 due primarily to a curtailment of operations pending the sale of the coal cleaning assets. Due to low capacity utilization, idled facilities and feedstock issues, the cost of revenue and operating expenses for the coal cleaning business exceeded revenues in both periods. In addition, we recorded a $37.0 million impairment of the coal cleaning assets in 2011 and a $13.0 million impairment in 2012.

Impact of Inflation and Related Matters

In certain periods, some of our operations have been negatively impacted by increased raw materials costs for commodities such as polypropylene and poly-vinyl chloride in the light building products segment. During fiscal 2011, we experienced some significant cost increases for certain raw materials and transportation fuel. We currently believe it is possible that costs for raw materials and other commodities such as fuels, along with the prices of other goods and services, could continue to increase in future periods. We have passed through certain increased raw materials costs to customers, but it is not possible to accurately predict the future trends of these costs, nor our ability to pass on future price increases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Summary of Cash Flow Activities.  Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2012 (2012) was $12.0 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $(87.0) million during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 (2011). The large net loss in 2011 was due primarily to three non-routine adjustments. Two of the three adjustments, a $37.0 million impairment of coal cleaning assets and a $15.0 million litigation accrual, did not involve cash. The third adjustment, $68.9 million of interest expense related to our March 2011 senior debt refinancing, most of which did involve the use of cash, was the most significant reason for the $87.0 million use of cash for operations in 2011.

In both periods, our primary investing activity consisted of the purchase of property, plant and equipment and payments for acquisitions. In 2012, we also received approximately $18.5 million of proceeds from the sale of our interest in an equity-method investee. In 2011, our primary financing activity was the March 2011 senior debt refinancing, and in 2012 our primary financing activity consisted of repayments of our long-term convertible debt. More details about these and other investing and financing activities are provided in the following paragraphs.

Investing Activities.  In 2012, total expenditures for property, plant and equipment and payments for acquisitions were $19.2 million, a decrease of $0.6 million from 2011. In both periods, the majority of capital expenditures related to the maintenance of operating capacity in our light building products segment. Total fiscal 2012 expenditures for property, plant and equipment and payments for acquisitions are currently expected to be less than the fiscal 2011 level of approximately $30.0 million.

Capital expenditures are limited by the terms of our ABL Revolver to $60.0 million in fiscal 2012. As of June 30, 2012, we were committed to spend approximately $1.4 million on capital projects that were in various stages of completion. In both periods, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of some small privately-held companies in the light building products industry.

As noted earlier, we assessed the strategic fit of our various operations and are pursuing divestiture of certain businesses in the energy technology segment which do not align with our long-term strategy. In September 2011, the Board of Directors committed to a plan to sell the coal cleaning business and we sold one coal cleaning facility during 2012 for cash proceeds of $2.0 million plus potential future consideration totaling approximately $8.4 million, which amount would be received over a number of years, depending upon future plant production levels. We currently expect to sell all, or substantially all, of the remaining business before the end of calendar 2012. At the current time, it is not possible to

37

accurately predict the amount of cash we will realize upon sale of the coal cleaning business nor the amount of cash we will expend operating and maintaining the facilities until such time as they are sold.

We intend to continue to expand our business through growth of existing operations in our core light and heavy building materials businesses. Acquisitions have historically been an important part of our long-term business strategy; however, primarily because of covenant restrictions under our former senior secured notes, but also due to cash flow considerations and events affecting the debt and equity markets, we have not made any large acquisitions since 2007. We have also invested in joint ventures which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, one of which was sold in fiscal 2010 and one of which was sold effective January 1, 2012. Proceeds of approximately $18.5 million were received in 2012 related to the January 2012 sale. We do not currently have plans to significantly increase our investments in any of the remaining joint venture entities, none of which is material. Current debt agreements limit potential acquisitions and investments in joint ventures. During the five-year term of the ABL Revolver, our acquisitions and investments in joint ventures and other less than 100%-owned entities are limited to total cumulative consideration of $30.0 million and $10.0 million annually.

Financing Activities.  In March 2011, we issued $400.0 million of 7-5/8% senior secured notes for net proceeds of approximately $392.8 million. We used most of the net proceeds to repay the former 11-3/8% senior secured notes and the related early repayment premium of approximately $59.0 million (which premium was charged to interest expense). The March 2011 refinancing accomplished several objectives, the most important of which was to extend the maturity of our senior debt.

In 2012, we issued approximately $49.8 million of new 8.75% convertible senior subordinated notes in exchange for cancellation of an equal amount of outstanding 2.50% convertible senior subordinated notes, plus a cash payment of approximately $0.6 million. The unamortized balances of debt discount and debt issue costs related to the $49.8 million of retired 2.50% notes, aggregating approximately $4.5 million, were written off and charged to interest expense. The 8.75% notes have a maturity date of February 2016, which is two years after the maturity date of the 2.50% notes, which extended maturity date was the primary reason for issuing the 8.75%  notes. The 2016 maturity date for the 8.75% notes better matches our projected generation of free cash flow. Other than the different interest rate and two-year extended maturity date, the terms of the 8.75% notes are similar in all material respects to the terms of the 2.50% notes as described in the Form 10-K.

In 2012, we repurchased and canceled approximately $34.7 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior subordinated notes for cash consideration of approximately $34.1 million in several different transactions. Terms of repayment for some of these transactions included premiums totaling approximately $1.7 million. For certain other transactions, gains totaling approximately $2.3 million were recognized and recorded in other income. Accelerated debt discount and debt issue costs aggregating approximately $2.2 million were charged to interest expense. In 2011, we repurchased and canceled approximately $14.5 million in aggregate principal amount of our convertible senior subordinated notes. Terms of repayment included premiums totaling approximately $2.6 million, which were recorded in interest expense. Accelerated debt discount and debt issue costs aggregating approximately $1.0 million were also charged to interest expense.

Following all of the above-described transactions, we now have no debt maturities until 2014 and currently believe our cash flows will be sufficient to repay maturing debt on or before the due dates. Debt reduction remains a high priority. We currently plan to continue our program of early convertible debt repayment, depending on future cash flow and as deemed appropriate by our management and Board of Directors. Following certain asset sales, as defined, we could be required to prepay a portion of the senior secured notes.

We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2012. The senior secured notes and ABL Revolver limit the incurrence of additional debt and liens on assets, prepayment of future subordinated debt, merging or consolidating with another company, selling all or substantially all assets, making capital expenditures, making acquisitions and investments and the payment of dividends or distributions, among other things. In addition, if availability under the ABL Revolver is less than 15% of the total $70.0 million commitment, or $10.5 million currently, we are required to maintain a monthly fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0x for the preceding twelve-month period.

There have been no borrowings under the ABL Revolver since it was entered into in October 2009. The ABL Revolver has a termination date of October 2014, with a contingent provision for early termination three months prior to the earliest maturity date of the senior secured notes or any of the convertible senior subordinated notes (currently November 2013), at which time any amounts borrowed must be repaid. The contingent provision for early termination is precluded if, three months prior to any note maturity date, borrowing base capacity under the ABL Revolver and / or cash collateral is at least equivalent to the notes maturing on such date. Availability under the ABL Revolver cannot exceed $70.0 million, which includes a $35.0 million sub-line for letters of credit and a $10.5 million swingline facility. Availability under the ABL Revolver is further limited by the borrowing base valuations of the assets of our light building products and heavy construction materials segments which secure the borrowings, currently consisting of certain trade receivables and inventories. In addition to the first lien

38

position on these assets, the ABL Revolver lenders have a second priority position on substantially all other assets. As of June 30, 2012, availability under the ABL Revolver was approximately $51.1 million. However, due primarily to the seasonality of our operations, the amount of availability varies from period to period and, while not currently expected, it is possible that the availability under the ABL Revolver could fall below the 15% threshold, or $10.5 million, in a future period.

As of June 30, 2012, our fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the ABL Revolver agreement, is approximately 0.7. The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated by dividing EBITDAR minus capital expenditures and cash payments for income taxes by fixed charges. EBITDAR consists of net income (loss) i) plus net interest expense, income taxes (as defined), depreciation and amortization, non-cash charges such as goodwill and other impairments, and rent expense; ii) plus or minus other specified adjustments such as equity earnings or loss in joint ventures. Fixed charges consist of cash payments for debt service plus rent expense. If availability under the ABL Revolver were to decline below $10.5 million at some future date and the fixed charge coverage ratio were to also be below 1.0, the ABL Revolver lender could issue a notice of default. If a notice of default were to become imminent, we would seek an amendment to the ABL Revolver, or alternatively, a waiver of the availability requirement and/or fixed charge coverage ratio for a period of time. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements and our Form 10-K for more detailed descriptions of the terms of our long-term debt and our ABL Revolver.

In February 2012, we filed a universal shelf registration statement with the SEC under which $210.0 million is available for future offerings of securities. A prospectus supplement describing the terms of any additional securities to be issued is required to be filed before any future offering could commence under the registration statement.

Working Capital.  As of June 30, 2012, our working capital was $61.4 million (including $29.0 million of cash and cash equivalents) compared to $69.6 million as of September 30, 2011. Notwithstanding the continuing pressure on our revenues as a result of existing economic conditions, we currently expect operations to produce positive cash flow during the September 2012 quarter and in future years. We currently believe working capital will be sufficient for our operating needs for the next 12 months, and that it will not be necessary to utilize borrowing capacity under the ABL Revolver for our seasonal operational cash needs for the foreseeable future.

Income Taxes.  Cash outlays for income taxes in both periods were less than $1.5 million and consisted primarily of estimated state income taxes. We have utilized our fiscal 2009 and prior year federal NOLs by carrying those amounts back to prior years, receiving income tax refunds. NOLs and tax credit carryforwards for fiscal 2010 were offset by our existing deferred income tax liabilities resulting in a near $0 deferred tax position as of September 30, 2010. In fiscal 2011, we recorded a full valuation allowance on our net amortizable deferred tax assets, a situation that is also expected to continue throughout fiscal 2012 and beyond. As of June 30, 2012, our NOL and capital loss carryforwards total approximately $70.9 million (tax effected). The U.S. and state NOLs and capital losses expire from 2012 to 2032. Substantially all of the non-U.S. NOLs do not expire. In addition, there are approximately $22.8 million of tax credit carryforwards as of June 30, 2012, which expire from 2014 to 2032. We do not currently expect cash outlays for income taxes during the next 12 months to be significant.

Summary of Future Cash Requirements.  Significant cash requirements for the next 12 months, beyond seasonal operational working capital requirements, consist primarily of interest payments on long-term debt and capital expenditures. In future periods, significant cash requirements will also include the repayment of debt, but not prior to February 2014. Reference is made to Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements where the potential risks of litigation are described in detail. Adverse conclusions to those legal matters could involve material amounts of cash outlays in future periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Reference is made to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of accounting pronouncements that have been issued which we have not yet adopted.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to financial market risks, primarily related to our stock price. In addition, future borrowings, if any, under our ABL Revolver will bear interest at a variable rate, as described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Through December 31, 2011, we were also exposed to market risks related to the activities of one of our joint ventures, the Blue Flint joint venture, which had derivatives in place related to variable interest rates and commodities. As described in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, we sold our interest in that joint venture effective January 1, 2012.

As described in more detail in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Compensation Committee approved grants of performance unit awards to certain officers and employees in the corporate business unit, to be settled in cash, based on the achievement of goals related to consolidated free cash flow generated in the second half of fiscal 2010. During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded approximately $0.8 million of expense for the 2010 performance unit awards due to

39

an increase in the average 60-day stock price between September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2012. The change in our stock price through the final vest date of September 30, 2012 will result in adjustment of the expected liability, which adjustment (whether positive or negative) will be reflected in our statement of operations for the September 2012 quarter. Assuming the average closing stock price for the 60 days in the period ended June 30, 2012 of $4.35 remains unchanged for the September 30, 2012 vest date, the total payouts under this arrangement for the final vest date, all of which have been accrued as of June 30, 2012, would be approximately $1.5 million. A 10% change in the 60-day average stock price as of September 30, 2012 from the June 30, 2012 average of $4.35 would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $0.2 million in the September 30, 2012 payout liability.

Also as described in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Compensation Committee approved grants of performance unit awards to certain officers and employees in the corporate business unit, to be settled in cash, based on the achievement of goals related to consolidated free cash flow generated during fiscal 2012. During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded approximately $4.2 million of expense for the 2012 performance unit awards, calculated based on progress toward the consolidated free cash flow goal for the year and an increase in the stock price between September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2012. Changes in our free cash flow generation as well as changes in the stock price through September 30, 2012 will result in adjustment of the expected liability as of September 30, 2012, which adjustment (whether positive or negative) will be reflected in our statement of operations for the September 2012 quarter. Changes in the stock price can result in an increase or decrease in the estimated September 30, 2012 payout liability; however, any adjustments are also dependent upon the amount of free cash flow generated in the fiscal year.

In fiscal 2011, the Committee approved grants to certain employees of approximately 0.4 million cash-settled SARs, approximately 0.3 million of which are currently outstanding. These SARs vest in annual installments through September 30, 2013, provided the participant is still employed at the respective vesting dates, and will be settled in cash upon exercise by the employee. The SARs terminate on September 30, 2015 and must be exercised on or before that date. As of June 30, 2012, $0.3 million has been accrued for these awards because the stock price at June 30, 2012 was above the grant-date stock price of $3.81. Future changes in our stock price in any amount beyond the grant-date stock price of $3.81 through September 30, 2015 will result in adjustment to the expected liability, which adjustment (whether positive or negative) will be reflected in our statement of operations each quarter.

During the December 2011 quarter, the Committee approved grants to certain officers and employees of approximately 1.0 million cash-settled SARs, with terms similar to those described above. Approximately $1.5 million has been accrued for these awards as of June 30, 2012. Changes in our stock price in any amount beyond the grant-date stock price of $1.85 through September 30, 2016 will result in adjustment to the expected liability, which adjustment (whether positive or negative) will be reflected in our statement of operations each quarter.

If all of the above-described SARs ultimately vest and the stock price is above the grant-date stock prices, a change in the stock price of $1.00 would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $1.3 million in the ultimate payout liability.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures — We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012, pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. This evaluation included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, the operation of the controls, and the effect of the controls on the information presented in this Quarterly Report. Our management, including the CEO and CFO, do not expect that disclosure controls can or will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud, if any. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide such reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Also, the projection of any evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures to future periods is subject to the risk that the disclosure controls and procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

40

Based on their review and evaluation, and subject to the inherent limitations described above, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of June 30, 2012 at the above-described reasonable assurance level.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting — Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even internal controls determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. The projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies may deteriorate. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

Risks relating to our business, our common stock and indebtedness are described in Item 1A of our Form 10-K.

ITEM 2.UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

We did not have any sales of unregistered equity securities during the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, but did purchase treasury stock. As described in Notes 9 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements, our Board of Directors approved a new Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (DDCP) under which non-employee directors can elect to defer certain compensation and choose from various options how the deferred compensation will be invested. One of the investment options is Headwaters common stock. When an eligible director chooses our common stock as an investment option, we purchase the common stock in open-market transactions in accordance with the director’s request and hold the shares until such time as the deferred compensation obligation becomes payable. At such time, the treasury shares will be distributed to the director in satisfaction of the obligation.

Exhibit 10.60

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This amended and restated employment agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into effective as of 30 July 2012 (“Effective Date”) by and between Kirk A. Benson (the “Executive”) and Headwaters Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).  This Agreement supersedes the terms of the employment agreement between the Executive and the Company dated April 1, 2010, as amended (the “Prior Agreement”).

1.Duties and Scope of Employment.

(a)Position.  For the term of his employment under this Agreement, the Company agrees to employ the Executive in the position of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Executive agrees to accept such employment.  The Executive shall report to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

(b)Obligations of the Executive.  During his employment, the Executive shall devote his full business efforts and time to the Company, consistent with the position of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and with duties assigned by the Board.  During his employment, without the prior written approval of the Board, the Executive shall not render services in any capacity to any other person or entity and shall not act as a sole proprietor or partner of an other entity or as a shareholder owning more that five percent of the stock of any other corporation; provided that the Executive may devote a reasonable amount of time to charitable, educational, civic, political, personal investment and family business activities so long as such activities do not materially conflict with the performance of his duties under this Agreement.  The Executive shall comply with the Company’s policies and rules, as they may be in effect from time to time during his employment.

(c)No Conflicting Obligations.  The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that he is under no obligations or commitments, whether contractual or otherwise, that are inconsistent with or in conflict with his obligations under this agreement.

(d)Term of Employment.  The Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until March 31, 2015 (the “Term”), unless it is terminated earlier either by the Executive or the Company.

2.Cash, Incentive and Supplemental Retirement Compensation.

(a)Base Salary.  The Company shall pay the Executive as compensation for his services an annual base salary at the rate of $663,000 per year until October 1, 2012, and thereafter a minimum annual base salary of $700,000, in accordance with standard Company payroll procedures, subject to normal payroll deductions and deductions authorized by the Executive.  Such base salary shall be subject to annual review by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”).

(b)Short Term Incentive Bonuses.  The Executive shall be eligible to be considered for annual incentive bonuses.  Such bonuses shall be awarded based on objective or subjective criteria established in advance by the Board or Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion.  Any and all awards will be approved by the Compensation Committee.

(c)Long Term Incentive Compensation.  The Executive shall be eligible to participate in long term cash and equity incentive plans for corporate executives of the Company adopted by the Board.  The Executive’s participation in long term incentive plans shall be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans.

(d)Financial, Tax, and Estate Planning.  During the term of the Executive’s employment, the Company will reimburse the Executive for fees and expenses related to personal financial planning, tax planning and estate planning, an amount not to exceed $10,000.00 for each twelve (12) month period.  The Executive shall present invoices for such planning services stated above to the Chairman of the Compensation Committee for approval within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoices for such services.  Reimbursement will occur through normal Company procedures, and no later than 2-1/2 months after the end of the calendar year (or if later, the Company’s tax year) in which the expense is incurred.

(e)Supplemental Retirement Compensation.   During the Term of the Agreement, the Company shall credit an annual supplemental retirement contribution on behalf of the Executive to an unfunded bookkeeping account (“Retirement Account”), in an amount equal to 42.5% of his then current base salary.  Each contribution shall be made  on each March 31 during the Term.

(1)The Retirement Account shall be credited with a 7% annual interest rate, compounded annually, or if elected by the Executive, shall instead be credited with income or debited with loss based on the hypothetical investment of the account in accordance with the Executive’s investment elections, which shall be made in accordance with such procedures (including default investment elections) as shall be determined by the Compensation Committee from time to time.  Unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, the Executive may elect from among the investment funds offered from time to time under the Company’s 401(k) plan.  The amounts allocated to the Retirement Account (the “Retirement Benefit”) shall be paid to the Executive in a single lump sum on the first regular payroll date (but no later than thirty days) following the Executive’s termination of employment (for any reason), subject to the provisions of Section 8 below applicable to deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”).  In the event of the Executive’s death, any remaining Retirement Account balance shall be paid in a single lump sum, within thirty (30) days thereafter, to his designated beneficiary, or if no written beneficiary designation of a surviving beneficiary has been received by the Compensation Committee prior to his death, to his estate.   The Executive shall be entitled to receive only the amounts credited to the Retirement Account as of the date of termination of employment.

(2)The Retirement Benefit shall be in addition to any other employee or executive retirement benefits or contributions to which the Executive may be entitled under any other plan maintained by the Company.  The Executive’s right to receive the Retirement Benefit is nontransferable, and the Executive shall not assign, transfer, or otherwise encumber any benefits payable hereunder except for a properly executed written beneficiary designation.  Any attempt to transfer or assign such benefits shall be null and void, and shall terminate the Company’s obligations hereunder.  Except as set

2

forth below in Section 2(e)(3) of this Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to set aside cash or assets to fund the Retirement Benefit.  Neither the Executive nor his beneficiary shall have any rights against the Company with respect to any portion of the Retirement Account except as a general unsecured creditor.  Neither the Executive nor his beneficiary shall have any interest in the Retirement Account until the Executive or his beneficiary actually receives payment thereof.   Any assets, whether cash or investments, which the Company may set aside to meet its deferred obligation under this Section 2(e) shall at all times remain the property of the Company, and neither the Executive nor his beneficiary shall under any circumstances acquire any property interest in any specific assets of the Company.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Compensation Committee has discretionary authority to interpret and administer the terms of the Retirement Benefit, and all determinations, interpretations, rules and decisions of the Compensation Committee and any person to whom the Compensation Committee delegates duties or responsibilities shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons having or claiming to have any interest or right with respect to the Retirement Benefit, including the Executive.   Unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, the claims procedures applicable under the Company’s 401(k) plan shall apply to any benefit claim or appeal with respect to the Retirement Benefit.

(3)Upon a Change in Control (as defined below), the Company shall establish a grantor (“rabbi”) trust for the full amount then credited to the Retirement Account.  The assets of such trust shall be used exclusively and irrevocably to provide the Retirement Benefit to the Executive pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2(e) (subject, however, to the claims of the general creditors of the Company); provided, however, that the establishment of such a trust will not render this Agreement other than “unfunded” as that term is used in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), 401(a)(1), and 4021(a)(6) of ERISA.  Upon the establishment of such trust, and within sixty (60) days following each March 31st thereafter, the Company shall deposit in the trust an amount of cash or marketable securities (other than securities issued by the Company or any of its current or future affiliates) sufficient so that the total amount so deposited in the trust is equal in value to the lump sum payment that would be payable to the Executive if on the date such trust is established, and on the last day of each of the Company’s fiscal years thereafter, the Executive’s employment had terminated.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean a Change in Control as defined in the Executive Change in Control Agreement between the Executive and the Company effective as of September 30, 2006 (the “Change in Control Agreement”).

(f)Stock Options and SARs.  Upon (i) the Executive’s retirement on or after the end of the Term of this Agreement, (ii) the termination of the Executive’s employment during the term of this Agreement by the Company without Cause (as defined below), by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined below), or by reason of the Executive’s death or disability, or (iii) a Change in Control,  the Executive’s stock options and stock appreciation rights which have been granted on or after the execution of this Agreement shall remain exercisable for a period of five (5) years following the termination of the Executive’s employment or until the expiration date stated in the Executive’s grant notice for such equity awards, whichever period is shorter, notwithstanding the provisions of the applicable equity award agreements.

3

3.Vacation and Employee Benefits.  During his employment, the Executive shall be eligible for paid vacations in accordance with the Company’s vacation or paid time off policy, as it may be amended from time to time.  The Executive shall be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans maintained by the Company from time to time, including life, medical, disability, and dental insurance plans and 401(k) plan, subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the plan in question, and subject to the determinations of any person or committee administering such plan.  The Executive shall also be entitled to any other perquisites that the Company makes available to its executive officers, including under the Company’s vehicle policy.

4.Business Expenses.  During his employment, the Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Company for such customary, ordinary and necessary business expenses as are incurred by him in the performance of his duties and activities associated with promoting or maintaining the business of the Company, including the completion of his PhD in general business management from Claremont Graduate University.  All expenses as described in this Section 4 shall be reimbursed only upon presentation by the Executive of such documentation as may be reasonably necessary to substantiate that all such expenses were incurred in the performance of his duties in accordance with the Company’s policies.

5.Employment at Will.  The Executive’s employment with the Company shall be “at will,” meaning that either the Executive or the Company shall be entitled to terminate the Executive’s employment and this Agreement at any time for any reason, with or without cause.  Termination by the Company or by the Executive shall be made in writing.

6.Termination of Employment.

(a)Termination for any Reason.  In the event that the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason (including Cause, as defined below), then the Executive (or his estate, if applicable) shall be entitled to payment of accrued but unpaid salary, vacation pay and allowable expenses through the date of the termination of his employment.  In addition, the Company will pay the Executive any amounts and provide any benefits to which the Executive is entitled under any Company benefit plan as of his termination of employment in accordance with the provisions of such plan.

(b)Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason.  In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or is terminated by the Executive for Good Reason during the term of this Agreement, other than in connection with a Change in Control pursuant to which the Executive would be eligible for severance benefits under the Change in Control Agreement (in which event the Executive will not receive severance benefits under this Section 6(b)), then, provided that the Executive executes and delivers within forty-five (45) days of termination (or such shorter period as the Company may require) an effective release in a form to be provided by the Company with terms substantially as set forth in the attached Exhibit A (the “Release”), and subject to Section 8(d) of this Agreement and the Executive’s compliance with the provisions of Sections 9 and 11 of this Agreement:

(1)Cash Severance.  The Executive shall be entitled to payment of an aggregate amount in cash equal to the product of two (2) multiplied by the sum of (i) the Executive’s annual base salary at the rate in effect as of his termination of employment,

4

plus (ii) the Executive’s target annual incentive bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination of employment occurs, which amount shall be payable in twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments, commencing sixty (60) days following the Executive’s termination of employment.

(2)Bonus.  The Executive shall be entitled to payment of a prorated portion of the annual incentive bonus otherwise earned under the terms of the applicable award for the fiscal year in which the termination of employment occurs, payable when such awards would otherwise be paid.

(3)COBRA.  If the Executive so elects and pays to continue health insurance under Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), then starting the next calendar month after the employment termination date, the Executive will be reimbursed on a monthly basis in an amount equal to the monthly amount the Company was paying as the company-portion of premium contributions for health coverage for the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents immediately before the Executive’s termination of employment, until the earlier of: (i) the end of the twelve-month period following the Executive’s termination of employment or (ii) the date the Executive or the Executive’s eligible dependent loses eligibility for COBRA continuation coverage.  Any increase in the premium contribution and/or in the number of covered dependents by the Executive during this time will be at the Executive’s own expense.  The period of such Company-reimbursed COBRA continuation coverage shall be considered part of the Executive’s (and the Executive’s eligible dependents’) COBRA coverage entitlement period.  The Executive will be solely responsible for timely electing such continuation coverage for the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents.

(4)Life Insurance.  The Executive shall continue to be covered at the Company’s expense in the Company’s life and accident insurance plans for twelve (12) months following the employment termination date subject to the terms of such plans as then in effect.

(5)Equity Compensation.  Unless otherwise set forth in the Executive’s equity award agreement and agreed to by the Executive, all Company equity awards shall become fully vested and exercisable.

(c)Post-Termination Consulting.  Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms (other than a termination by the Company for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason), the Company shall enter into a consulting agreement with the Executive under which the Executive will provide advice and assistance concerning matters that are within the scope of the Executive’s knowledge and expertise upon the request of the Company for the three (3) year period following the Executive’s termination of employment.  The Executive shall be required to provide such services for a period of time equal to the lesser of (i) approximately twenty percent (20%) of the level of service he had performed as an employee, or (ii) such period of time as may be necessary to ensure that the Executive’s termination of employment under the Agreement will be treated as a “separation from service” pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.  As consideration for the consulting services, the Employee shall receive annual compensation

5

equal to $300,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and procedures.  The terms of the consulting agreement shall provide that the Company may terminate the consulting agreement only for Cause, as defined herein, or as the result of the Executive’s death or disability.

7.Definitions.

(a)Definition of “Cause”.  For all purposes under this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean:

(1)engaging in willful misconduct against the Company that is materially injurious to the Company; provided that any action undertaken with a reasonable and good faith belief that it is in the best interests of the Company shall not constitute willful misconduct for purposes of this clause (1);

(2)engaging in any activity that is a conflict of interest or competitive with the Company;

(3)engaging in any act of fraud or dishonesty that is materially injurious to the Company or any of its affiliated companies or any material breach of federal or state securities or commodities laws or regulations;

(4)engaging in an act of assault or other acts of violence in the workplace;

(5)repeated harassment of any individual in the workplace based on age, gender, or other protected status or class or violation of any policy of the Company regarding harassment that is materially injurious to the Company or any of its affiliated companies; or

(6)conviction, guilty plea or plea of nolo contendere for any felony crime;

provided, however, that upon the Board or the General Counsel of the Company obtaining knowledge of any of the foregoing conditions, the Company must provide written notice to the Executive of the existence of any of the foregoing conditions (1) through (6) within sixty (60) days of the knowledge of the existence of the condition, and if the Executive has the ability and in fact cures the condition and harm caused thereby within thirty (30) days following the written notice, Cause shall be deemed not to exist.

(b)Definition of “Good Reason”.  For all purposes under this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean any one of the following without the Executive’s consent:

(1)a demotion or any action by the Company which results in material diminution of the Executive’s position (including removal from his position as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board, provided thatthe Executive’s cessation of service as Chairman of the Board as a result of legislative or regulatory requirements or as a result of mutual agreement between the Company and the

6

Executive that such cessation of service is in the best interests of the Company shall not constitute Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement), reporting relationship, authority, duties or responsibilities (other than changes permitted by this Agreement or any insubstantial action not taken in bad faith);

(2)a requirement that the Executive report to work more than 50 miles from the Company’s existing headquarters (not including normal business travel required of the Executive’s position);

(3)a material reduction in the Executive’s base salary or benefits (unless such reduction in base salary or benefits applies generally to executives of the Company); or

(4)a material breach by the Company of its obligations hereunder;

provided, however, that the Executive must provide written notice to the Board of Directors of the Company of the existence of any of the foregoing conditions (1) through (4) within sixty (60) days of the initial existence of the condition, and if the Company cures the condition within thirty (30) days following the written notice, or if the Executive fails to terminate employment within six (6) months following the initial existence of the condition constituting Good Reason, Good Reason shall be deemed not to exist.

(c)Definition of “Restricted Period”.  For all purposes under this Agreement, “Restricted Period” means the period of twenty-four (24) months following termination of the Executive’s employment or service with the Company.

8.Code Section 409A Compliance.

(a)To the fullest extent applicable, amounts and other benefits payable under this Agreement, and amounts and benefits payable under any other agreements or plans referenced in this Agreement, are intended to be exempt from the definition of “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code in accordance with one or more of the exemptions available under the final Treasury regulations promulgated under Section 409A.  In this regard, each payment under Section 6(b) of this Agreement shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.  To the extent that any such amount or benefit is or becomes subject to Section 409A due to a failure to qualify for an exemption from the definition of nonqualified deferred compensation in accordance with such final Treasury regulations, this Agreement is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A with respect to such amounts or benefits.  This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to the extent possible in a manner consistent with the foregoing statement of intent, and any ambiguity as to its compliance with Section 409A will be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code.

(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary, if the Executive is a “specified employee” as determined by the Compensation Committee on the date of “separation from service” (as such terms are defined for purposes of Code Section 409A), and the Company reasonably determines that any amount or other benefit payable under this Agreement on account of such separation from service constitutes nonqualified deferred

compensation that will subject the Executive to “additional tax” under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code (together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to, or in connection with, such tax, a “409A Tax”) with respect to the payment of such amount or the provision of such benefit if paid or provided at the time specified in the Agreement, then the payment or provision thereof shall be postponed to the first business day of the seventh month following the date of termination or, if earlier, the date of the Executive’s death (the “Delayed Payment Date”).  The Executive and the Company may agree to take other actions to avoid the imposition of a 409A Tax at such time and in such manner as permitted under Section 409A.  In the event that this Section 8 requires a delay of any payment, such payment shall be accumulated and paid in a single lump sum on the Delayed Payment Date, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.  In addition, the provisions of this Agreement which require the commencement of payments subject to Section 409A upon a termination of employment shall be interpreted to require that the Executive have a “separation from service” with the Company as defined for purposes of Code Section 409A.

(c)To the extent the Company is required pursuant to this Agreement to reimburse fees or expenses incurred by the Executive, and such reimbursement is taxable as compensation to the Executive, the Company shall reimburse any such eligible fees or expenses no later than 2-1/2 months after the end of the calendar year in which the fees or expenses were incurred (or if later, 2-1/2 months after the end of the Company’s taxable year in which the fees or expenses were incurred), subject to any earlier required deadline for payment otherwise applicable under this Agreement.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent any expense reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit under this Agreement is determined to be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the amount of any such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind benefit, in one calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year (except for any lifetime or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses), in no event shall any expenses be reimbursed after the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Executive incurred such expenses, and in no event shall any right to reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(d)The provisions of this Section 8 shall also apply to all payments and benefits that may be provided under the Change in Control Agreement, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained therein, if required in order to comply with Section 409A.   In addition to the provisions set forth in subsections (a) through (c) above: (i) the cash severance payable under the Change in Control Agreement shall be paid at the same time and in the same form provided under this Agreement for severance payable under Section 6(b) (that is, in installments over twenty-four (24) months rather than a lump sum) unless the Executive’s separation from service occurs within twelve (12) months following the effective date of the closing of the Change in Control and the Change in Control qualifies as a “change in control event” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5); (ii) if the Executive’s separation from service does occur within twelve (12) months following the effective date of the closing of the Change in Control and the Change in Control qualifies as a “change in control event” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5), then the cash severance payable to the Executive under Section 1(b)(1) of the Change in Control Agreement shall be paid on the sixtieth (60th) day following his separation from service (subject to Section 8(b)) provided the Executive has

8

fulfilled the conditions for payment of the cash severance under the Change in Control Agreement (including that the Release of Claims as defined therein shall have become effective) on or before such date (and shall not be paid otherwise); and (iii) any reimbursement of taxes required to be made by the Company under the Change in Control Agreement shall be made by the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the Executive remits the related taxes.  If the payment of cash severance has commenced pursuant to Section 6(b)(1) of this Agreement before the occurrence of a Change in Control that results in the Executive’s eligibility for severance benefits under the Change in Control Agreement, then the payment of cash severance shall be governed by the Change in Control Agreement rather than Section 6(b)(1) of this Agreement, and any adjustment to reflect an underpayment or overpayment of the amount that otherwise would have been due before the Change in Control pursuant to the Change in Control Agreement shall be applied to the first installment due after the Change in Control Agreement, proceeding in chronological order thereafter as necessary.

9.Employment and Post-Termination Covenants.  By accepting the terms of this Agreement, and as a condition for the termination payments and benefits described in Section 6, the Executive hereby agrees to the following covenants in addition to any obligations the Executive may have by law and makes the following representations:

(a)Confidentiality.  The Executive acknowledges that, in connection with his employment by the Company, the Executive will have access to trade secrets of the Company and its affiliated companies and other information and materials which the Company desires to keep confidential, including customer lists, supplier lists, financial statements, business records and data, marketing and business plans, and information and materials relating to the Company’s services, products, methods of operation, key personnel, proprietary software and other proprietary intellectual property and information disclosed to the Company by third parties to which the Company owes a duty of nondisclosure (collectively, the “Confidential Information”); provided, however, that Confidential Information does not include information which (i) is or becomes publicly known other than as a result of the Executive’s actions in violation of this Agreement; (ii) is or becomes available to the Executive from a source (other than the Company or its affiliated companies) that the Executive reasonably believes is not prohibited from disclosing such information to the Executive by a contractual or fiduciary obligation to the Company, (iii) has been made available by the Company or its affiliated companies, directly or indirectly, to a non-affiliated third party without obligation of confidentiality; (iv) the Executive is obligated to produce as a result of a court order or pursuant to governmental action or proceeding, provided that the Executive gives the Company prompt written notice of such requirement prior to such disclosure and assistance in obtaining an order protecting such Confidential Information from public disclosure; or (v) business knowledge the Executive has acquired unrelated to any specific proprietary information relating to the Company.  The Executive further acknowledges that the Company’s Confidential Information has economic value by virtue of the fact that it is not generally known by Competitors (as defined below) or in the industry at large.  The Executive therefore covenants and agrees that, both during and after the term of his employment with the Company, he will keep secret all Confidential Information and will not disclose, reveal, divulge or otherwise make known any Confidential Information to any person (other than the Company or its employees or agents in the course of performing his duties hereunder) or use any Confidential Information for his own account or for the benefit of any other individual or entity, except with the prior written consent of the Company.

9

(b)Ownership of Intellectual Property.  The Executive agrees that all inventions, copyrightable material, software, formulas, trademarks, trade secrets and the like which are developed or conceived by the Executive in the course of his employment by the Company or on the Company’s time or property (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”) shall be disclosed promptly to the Company and the Company shall own all right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property.  The parties expressly agree that any and all of the Intellectual Property developed by the Executive shall be considered works made-for-hire for the Company pursuant to the United States Copyright Act of 1976, as amended from time to time.  In order to ensure that the Company shall own all right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property in the event that any of the Intellectual Property is not deemed a work made-for-hire (as defined in the Copyright Act of 1976) and in any other event, the Executive hereby sells and assigns all right, title and interest in and to all such Intellectual Property to the Company, and the Executive covenants and agrees to affix to the Intellectual Property appropriate legends and copyright notices indicating the Company’s ownership of all Intellectual Property and all underlying documentation to the extent reasonably appropriate, and shall execute such instruments of transfer, assignment, conveyance or confirmation as the Company reasonably considers necessary to transfer, confirm, vest, perfect, maintain or defend the Company’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property throughout the world.  The Executive’s obligation under this Section 9(b) to assign to the Company inventions created or conceived by him shall not apply to an invention that he developed entirely on his own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information, provided that those inventions (i) do not or did not relate directly, at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention, to the Company’s business as conducted at such time or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company; and (ii) do not or did not result from any work performed by him for the Company.

(c)Non-Solicitation.  The Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period, he shall not solicit the services or employment or engage the services or employ anyone who is then (or who was within the six months prior thereto) an employee of the Company or its affiliated companies.

(d)Non-Competition.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that, by virtue of his position with the Company, and the sensitive nature of the Confidential Information, business strategies and plans to which he has been and will be privy during the course of his employment, his work for a Competitor of the Company after leaving the Company’s employ would pose a material threat to the Company’s competitive position.  Moreover, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that it would be impossible for him to segregate his knowledge of the Company’s Confidential Information from his memory, such that he could guarantee that he would not be making use of, whether intentionally or unintentionally, directly or indirectly,  such knowledge in the course of his work for a Competitor.  Given this understanding, the Executive agrees that there must be a period of time following the termination of his employment or service with the Company during which he must not work for a Competitor, in order to ensure the protection of the Company’s Confidential Information.  The Executive agrees that the Restricted Period is reasonable and necessary to accomplish this protection, and accordingly, during the Restricted Period, the Executive agrees not to compete directly or indirectly by becoming a principal, partner, shareholder, equity holder, limited liability company member, agent, officer, other employee, advisor, consultant, member of a board of directors, or by becoming interested in any

10

other capacity, with any business that competes anywhere in the United States with any activity of the Company or its affiliates conducted at any time during the two years prior to termination, or conducted during the six months period following the termination, as a result of plans initiated prior to such termination, including acquisitions (collectively, “Competitors”).

(e)Authorization to Work for the Company.  The Executive represents that he is legally authorized to work in the United States and that his employment with the Company shall not constitute a violation of any contractual or other legal obligation he may have to another entity or employer.

(f)Return of Company Property.  Upon the termination of the Executive’s employment or service with the Company, or as earlier requested by the Company, the Executive agrees to return to the Company all Company documents (and all copies thereof) and other Company property in the Executive’s possession or control, including, but not limited to, Company files, correspondence, memos, notebooks, notes, drawings, records, business plans and forecasts, financial information, specifications, computer recorded information, tangible property and equipment, credit cards, entry cards, identification badges and keys; and any materials of any kind that contain or embody any proprietary or confidential information of the Company (and all reproductions thereof in whole or in part) (collectively, the “Company Property”).  The Executive agrees to conduct a good faith and diligent search of the Executive’s belongings in advance of the aforementioned deadline to ensure the Executive’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.

(g)Consequences of Breach.  The Executive agrees that the restrictions specified in this Section 9 are reasonable and necessary to protect the Confidential Information and goodwill of the Company and its affiliated companies and are intended to operate for the entire period specified and within the geographical area specified above.  The Executive further agrees that abiding by the restrictions specified in this Section 9 will not materially impinge in his ability to make a living and to support himself and his family.  The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the Executive will not object to the Company or its affiliated companies, or any of their respective successors in interest, defending the enforceability of this Section 9.  The parties to this Agreement agree that (i) if the Executive breaches the provisions set forth in this Section 9, the damage to the Company may be substantial, although difficult to ascertain, and money damages will not afford the Company an adequate remedy, (ii) if the Executive is in breach of any provision of this Section 9 or threatens a breach of any provision of this Section 9, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies as may be provided by law, to seek specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or restrain a breach of any provision of this Section 9.  The Executive further acknowledges that he is voluntarily and knowingly agreeing to the post-termination restrictions described in this Section 9 in consideration of the termination payments and benefits described in Section 6, and that the Company shall have no obligation to provide such termination payments or benefits if the Executive breaches any provision of this Section 9.

10.Binding on Successors.  This Agreement may be assigned by the Company to a successor by merger, acquisition, consolidation or otherwise to the business formerly carried on by the Company and shall be binding upon the Company and any entity which is a successor by merger, acquisition, consolidation or otherwise to the business formerly carried on by the Company, or

11

an affiliate of any such entity, and becomes the Executive’s employer by reason of (or as the direct result of) any direct or indirect sale or other disposition of the Company or substantially all of the assets of the business currently carried on by the Company, without regard to whether or not such person actively adopts this Agreement.

11.Arbitration.  The parties agree that any future disputes between the Executive and the Company under this Agreement including but not limited to disputes relating to the Release shall be resolved by binding arbitration, except where the law specifically forbids the use of arbitration as a final and binding remedy as provided below, except as provided in Section 11(g) below.

(a)The complainant shall provide the other party a written statement of the claim.  Such statement shall identify any supporting witnesses or documents and the relief requested.

(b)The respondent shall furnish a statement of the relief, if any, that it is willing to provide, and identifying supporting witnesses or documents.  If the matter is not resolved, the parties agree to submit their dispute to a non-binding mediation paid for by the Company; provided, however, that if the amount in dispute is $50,000 or less, this step may be waived at the election of either party.

(c)If the matter is not resolved, the parties agree that the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (“CPR”), including any provisions thereof pertaining to discovery.  If the parties are not able to agree upon the selection of an arbitrator, an arbitrator shall be selected according to the applicable procedures established by the CPR.

(d)The arbitrator shall have the authority to determine whether the conduct complained of in Section 11(a) violates the complainant’s rights under this Agreement and, if so, to grant any relief authorized by law; subject to the provisions of Section 11(g) below.  The arbitrator shall not have the authority to modify, change or refuse to enforce any lawful term of this Agreement and the Release.

(e)The Company shall pay for the arbitrator’s fees, while each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees.

(f)Arbitration shall be the exclusive final remedy for any dispute between the parties under this Agreement and disputes involving claims for discrimination or harassment (such as claims under the Fair Employment and Housing Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, or the Age Discrimination in Employment Act), wrongful termination, breach of contract, breach of public policy, physical or mental harm or distress or any other disputes, and the parties agree that no dispute shall be submitted to arbitration where the complainant has not complied with the preliminary steps provided for in Sections 11(a) and (b) above.

(g)The parties agree that the arbitration award shall be enforceable in any court having jurisdiction to enforce this Agreement and the Release, so long as the arbitrator’s findings of fact are supported by substantial evidence on the whole and the arbitrator has not made errors of law; provided, however, that either party may bring an action in a court of competent

12

jurisdiction, regarding or related to matters involving the Company’s confidential, proprietary or trade secret information, or regarding or related to inventions that the Executive may claim to have developed prior to or after joining the Company, seeking preliminary injunctive relief in court to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable injury before the matter can be heard in arbitration.

(h)The arbitration shall be held at a location within Salt Lake City, Utah, unless the parties mutually agree to a different location for the arbitration.

(i)If the Executive wishes to contest or dispute a termination for Cause by the Company, or any failure to make payments claimed to be due hereunder, the Executive must give written notice of such dispute within ninety (90) calendar days of receiving a notice of termination.  The Executive may, at either the Executive’s or the Company’s option, be suspended from all duties during the pendency of such a contest or dispute.  If the Executive prevails in any such contest or dispute, the Company or its successor or assign shall thereupon be liable for the full amounts due under Section 6 as of the date of termination after adjustments for amounts already paid.

12.Indemnification.  The Company has entered into an indemnification agreement with the Executive, which agreement is incorporated by reference.

13.Withholding Taxes.  All payments made under this Agreement shall be subject to reduction to reflect taxes or other charges required to be withheld by law.

14.Choice of Law and Severability; Jurisdiction and Venue.  This Agreement shall be deemed to have been entered into and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah irrespective of any conflicts of law analysis.  If any provision of this Agreement becomes or is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any applicable jurisdiction by reason of the scope, extent or duration of its coverage, then such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to be valid and enforceable or, if such provision cannot be so amended without materially altering the intention of the parties, then such provision shall be stricken and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.  If any provision of this Agreement is rendered illegal by any present or future statute, law, ordinance or regulation (collectively the “Law”), then such provision shall be curtailed or limited only to the minimum extent necessary to bring such provision into compliance with the Law.  All the other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without impairment or limitation.  Subject to the mandatory arbitration provided in Section 9 above, jurisdiction and venue in any action to enforce any arbitration award or to enjoin any action that violates the terms of this Agreement shall be in the state and federal courts serving the locality of Salt Lake City, Utah.

15.Miscellaneous.

(a)This Agreement constitutes the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between the Executive and the Company with regard to the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment with the Company and the Executive’s anticipated termination of employment and supersedes all prior agreements with respect thereto, including

13

without limitation the Prior Agreement; provided, however, that the Change in Control Agreement shall remain in effect and shall not be superseded by this Agreement except as expressly provided herein.  It is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation, written or oral, other than those expressly contained herein, and it supersedes any other such promises, warranties or representations and any other written or oral statements concerning the Executive’s rights to any compensation, equity, or benefits from the Company, its predecessors or successors in interest.

(b)This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in a writing signed by both the Executive and an authorized member of the Board (other than the Executive).  This Agreement shall bind the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of both the Executive and the Company, and inure to the benefit of both the Executive and the Company, their heirs, successors and assigns.  No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at another time. Headings and subheadings in this Agreement are solely for convenience and do not constitute terms of this Agreement.

(c)This Agreement may be signed in counterparts and the counterparts taken together shall constitute one agreement.  Facsimile or photocopied signatures shall be deemed as effective as original signatures.

(d)Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid.  In the case of the Executive, mailed notices shall be addressed to him at the home address that he most recently communicated to the Company in writing.  In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall be addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the attention of its Secretary with a copy to Chairman of the Compensation Committee.

14

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has executed this Agreement, in the case of the Company by its duly authorized Chairman of the Compensation Committee, as of this 30th day of July 2012.

GENERAL RELEASE LANGUAGE

Executive agrees, for himself, his spouse, heirs, executor or administrator, assigns, insurers, attorneys and other persons or entities acting or purporting to act on his behalf (the “Executive’s Parties”), to irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge the Company, its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, agents, representatives, predecessors, successors, assigns, insurers, attorneys, benefit plans sponsored by the Company and said plans’ fiduciaries, agents and trustees (the “Company’s Parties”), from any and all actions, cause of action, suits, claims, obligations, liabilities, debts, demands, contentions, damages, judgments, levies and executions of any kind, whether in law or in equity, known or unknown, which the Executive’s Parties have, have had, or may in the future claim to have against the Company’s Parties by reason of, arising out of, related to, or resulting from Executive’s employment with the Company or the termination thereof.  This release specifically includes without limitation any claims arising in tort or contract, any claim based on wrongful discharge, any claim based on breach of contract, any claim arising under federal, state or local law prohibiting race, sex, age, religion, national origin, handicap, disability or other forms of discrimination, any claim arising under federal, state or local law concerning employment practices, and any claim relating to compensation or benefits.  This specifically includes, without limitation, any claim which the Executive has or has had under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended, the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended, and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.  It is understood and agreed that the waiver of benefits and claims contained in this section does not include a waiver of (i) any indemnification rights the Executive has pursuant to the Company bylaws, agreements, or Board of Director resolutions in effect on the date of this Release and any fiduciary insurance plans in effect on the date of this release or thereafter, (ii) any payments in connection with this Agreement or the Change in Control Agreement, or (iii) the right to payment of any vested, nonforfeitable benefits to which the Executive or a beneficiary of the Executive may be entitled under the terms and provisions of any employee benefit plan of the company which have accrued as of the separation date and does not include a waiver of the right to benefits and payment of consideration to which Executive may be entitled under this Agreement or any of the agreements contemplated hereby (including the indemnification agreement and the stock option agreements).  Executive acknowledges that he is only entitled to the severance benefits and compensation set forth in this Agreement, and that all other claims for any other benefits or compensation are hereby waived, except those expressly stated in the preceding sentence.

16

acted in good faith and in a manner that Executive reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company, and shall not have engaged in willful misconduct or breach of an agreement with the Company; and (ii) the Company’s Release shall not extend to any acts or omissions of the Executive for which the Company would be prohibited from indemnifying the Executive under Delaware Law,  the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, or  the Bylaws of the Company then in effect or which would excuse, negate, or invalidate the obligations of the insurer under any director and officer liability policy procured by the Company and covering the Executive.

·Section 104(b) Orders. The total number of orders issued under section 104(b) of the Mine Act, which represents a failure to abate a violation under section 104 within the period of time prescribed by MSHA;

·Section 104(d) Citations and Orders. The total number of citations and orders for unwarrantable failure of the mine operator to comply with mandatory health or safety standards under section 104(d) of the Mine Act;

·Section 110(b)(2) Flagrant Violations. The total number of flagrant violations under section 110(b)(2) of the Mine Act.

Pattern or Potential Pattern of Violations. For the 3-month period ended June 30, 2012, none of our operations received written notice from MSHA of (i) a pattern of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that are of such nature as could have significantly and substantially contributed to the cause and effect of coal or other mine health or safety hazards under section 104(e) of the Mine Act; or (ii) the potential to have such a pattern.

Pending Legal Actions. As of June 30, 2012, we have no pending legal actions before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission.

Citations and orders can be contested and appealed, and as part of that process, are sometimes reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes dismissed. The number of citations, orders, and proposed assessments vary from inspector and inspector and also vary depending on the size and type of the operation.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations

3.Discontinued Operations

Headwaters assessed the strategic fit of its various operations and is pursuing divestiture of certain businesses in the energy technology segment which do not align with its long-term strategy. In September 2011, the Board of Directors committed to a plan to sell the coal cleaning business, which is part of the energy technology segment, and at that time the business met all the criteria for classification as held for sale and presentation as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities associated with the coal cleaning business have been reflected as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The results of Headwaters’ coal cleaning operations have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Certain summarized information for the discontinued coal cleaning business is presented in the following table.

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Nine Months Ended June 30,

Revenue	$	9,897		$	6,586		$	40,258		$	16,384
Loss from operations of discontinued operations before income taxes	$	(6,479	)	$	(15,345	)	$	(50,410	)	$	(28,143	)
Gain on disposal	0			267			0			267

Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes	$	(8,379	)	$	(15,078	)	$	(52,590	)	$	(27,876	)

During the March 2011 quarter, Headwaters recorded an impairment of the coal cleaning assets totaling $37.0 million. During the June 2012 quarter, Headwaters recorded an impairment of the coal cleaning assets totaling $13.0 million, which reduced the remaining book value for the coal cleaning assets, net of liabilities, to near $0. Current assets held for sale consist primarily of accounts receivable and inventory. Non-current assets held for sale consist of approximately $16.1 million and $1.9 million of property, plant and equipment and approximately $8.3 million and $5.9 million of other assets, as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively, all of which are recorded at the lower of historical carrying amount or fair value. Liabilities held for sale consist primarily of accrued liabilities.

Headwaters sold one coal cleaning facility during the June 2012 quarter for cash proceeds of $2.0 million plus potential future consideration totaling approximately $8.4 million, which amount would be received over a number of years, depending upon future plant production levels. Headwaters currently expects to sell all, or substantially all, of the remaining business before the end of calendar 2012. If assumptions regarding future cash flows from the sale of the coal cleaning assets prove to be incorrect, Headwaters may be required to record a loss or a gain when the assets are sold.

2.Segment Reporting

Headwaters currently operates three business segments: light building products, heavy construction materials and energy technology. These segments are managed and evaluated separately by management due to differences in their markets, operations, products and services. Revenues for the light building products segment consist of product sales to wholesale and retail distributors, contractors and other users of building products. Revenues for the heavy construction materials segment consist primarily of CCP product sales to ready-mix concrete businesses, with a smaller amount from services provided to coal-fueled electric generating utilities. Revenues for the energy technology segment have consisted primarily of coal sales; however, as described in Note 3, in September 2011 Headwaters committed to a plan to sell its coal cleaning facilities and the related coal sales revenue and results of operations have been reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations for all periods. Currently, continuing revenues for the energy technology segment consist primarily of catalyst sales to oil refineries. Intersegment sales are immaterial.

The following segment information has been prepared in accordance with ASC Topic 280 Segment Reporting. Segment performance is evaluated primarily on revenue and operating income, although other factors are also used, such as Adjusted EBITDA. Headwaters defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, foreign currency translation gain or loss, goodwill and other impairments, and other non-routine adjustments that arise from time to time, consistent with the methodology Headwaters has used historically.

Segment costs and expenses considered in deriving segment operating income (loss) include cost of revenue, amortization, research and development, and segment-specific selling, general and administrative expenses. Amounts included in the “Corporate” column represent expenses that are not allocated to any segment and include administrative departmental costs and general corporate overhead. Segment assets reflect those specifically attributable to individual segments and primarily include cash, accounts receivable, inventories, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill. Certain other assets are included in the “Corporate” column. The operating results of the discontinued coal cleaning business are not included in the tables below for any period; however, coal cleaning facility expenditures comprise most of the reported energy technology segment capital expenditures, and assets as of June 30, 2012 include the coal cleaning assets held for sale.

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

1.Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business and Organization — Headwaters Incorporated (Headwaters) is a diversified building products company incorporated in Delaware, which provides products, technologies and services to the light and heavy building materials industries. Headwaters’ vision is to improve lives through innovative advancements in construction materials through application, design and purpose.

The light building products segment designs, manufactures, and sells manufactured architectural stone, exterior siding accessories (such as shutters, mounting blocks, and vents), concrete block and other building products. Headwaters believes that many of its branded products have a leading market position. Revenues from Headwaters’ light building products businesses are diversified geographically and also by market, including the new housing and residential repair and remodeling markets, as well as commercial construction markets.

The heavy construction materials segment is the nationwide leader in the management and marketing of coal combustion products (CCPs), including fly ash used as an admixture in concrete, and providing services to electric utilities related to the management of CCPs. Headwaters’ heavy construction materials business is comprised of a nationwide storage and distribution network and also provides CCP disposal and other services. Revenue is diversified geographically and by market.

The energy technology segment has been focused on reducing waste and increasing the value of energy-related feedstocks, primarily in the areas of low-value coal and oil. In coal, Headwaters owns and operates coal cleaning facilities that separate ash from waste coal to provide a refined coal product that is higher in Btu value and lower in impurities than the feedstock coal. As described in Note 3, Headwaters is disposing of all its coal cleaning facilities and they are reflected as assets held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The results of Headwaters’ coal cleaning operations have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. In oil, Headwaters believes that its heavy oil upgrading technology represents a substantial improvement over current refining technologies. Headwaters’ heavy oil upgrading process uses a liquid catalyst precursor to generate a highly active molecular catalyst to convert low-value residual oil from refining into higher-value distillates that can be further refined into gasoline, diesel and other products.

Basis of Presentation — Headwaters’ fiscal year ends on September 30 and unless otherwise noted, references to 2011 refer to Headwaters’ fiscal quarter and / or nine months ended June 30, 2011 and references to 2012 refer to Headwaters’ fiscal quarter and / or nine months ended June 30, 2012. Other references to years refer to Headwaters’ fiscal year rather than a calendar year.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Headwaters, all of its subsidiaries and other entities in which Headwaters has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation. Due to the seasonality of most of Headwaters’ operations and other factors, the consolidated results of operations for any particular period are not indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year. For the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, approximately 12% of Headwaters’ total revenue and cost of revenue was for services. Substantially all service-related revenue for both periods was in the heavy construction materials segment.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and consist of normal recurring adjustments. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Headwaters’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011 (Form 10-K) and in Headwaters’ Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Headwaters has reviewed recently issued accounting standards which have not yet been adopted in order to determine their potential effect, if any, on the results of operations or financial position of Headwaters. Based on that review, Headwaters does not currently believe that any of those accounting pronouncements will have a significant effect on its current or future financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Reclassifications — Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation, including reclassifications related to presentation of the coal cleaning operations as discontinued. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or total assets.

11.Restructuring Costs

Headwaters recorded restructuring costs in the 2011 fiscal year and during the six months ended March 31, 2012 as a result of actions taken to lower operating costs and improve operational efficiency, primarily in the light building products segment. As reflected in the following table, the charges represent costs for workforce reductions and related severance expenses, facility closures and consolidations, and certain asset impairments and write-downs. The restructuring was initiated in fiscal 2011 primarily due to the depressed new housing and residential remodeling markets. This restructuring effort was completed in the March 2012 quarter and no additional restructuring costs related to the 2011 actions have been incurred since that time.

(in thousands)	Expenses incurred in fiscal 2011		Expenses incurred in fiscal 2012		Total expenses incurred
Workforce reductions and related severance expenses	$	4,124	$	519	$	4,643
Facility closures and consolidations	7,213		838		8,051
Asset impairments and write-downs	6,593		788		7,381
Total restructuring costs	$	17,930	$	2,145	$	20,075

Most of the expenses related to workforce reductions and related severance and approximately half of the expenses related to facility closures and consolidations have resulted or will result in cash outlays. None of the asset impairments and write-downs resulted in cash outlays.

The following table shows the activity in the restructuring cost liability accrual through June 30, 2012. A majority of the remaining unpaid balance as of June 30, 2012 is currently expected to be paid in years subsequent to fiscal 2012 because it relates to lease obligations under long-term facility leases.

Commitments and Contingencies

12.Commitments and Contingencies

Significant new commitments, material changes in commitments and ongoing contingencies as of June 30, 2012, not disclosed elsewhere, are as follows:

Compensation Arrangements — Cash Performance Unit Awards. In 2009, the Compensation Committee (Committee) approved grants of performance unit awards to certain officers and employees, to be settled in cash, based on the achievement of goals tied to cumulative divisional free cash flow generated subsequent to September 30, 2008 and prior to September 30, 2028. For these awards, free cash flow is generally defined as operating income plus depreciation, amortization and asset impairments, reduced by capital expenditures. Payments vest according to a predetermined schedule as free cash flow accumulates over time.

In 2010, the Committee terminated the performance unit awards for all participants in the corporate business unit and assigned a five-year performance period ending September 30, 2013 to the free cash flow goals, aggregating $850.0 million, for the remaining participating business units. Through June 30, 2012, the remaining business units had generated approximately $286.6 million of free cash flow and incurred approximately $3.3 million of expense for these awards, including approximately $2.6 million which was accrued and unpaid as of June 30, 2012. The maximum payout under the amended performance unit awards if all performance criteria were to be achieved by all participating operating divisions would be approximately $28.1 million; however, due to the shortened five-year term of the performance period, the ultimate payout will be significantly less than the maximum potential payout.

Also in 2010, in accordance with terms of the 2010 ICP, the Committee approved grants of performance unit awards to certain officers and employees in the corporate business unit, to be settled in cash, based on the achievement of goals related to consolidated free cash flow generated in the second half of fiscal 2010. For purposes of these awards, free cash flow is generally defined as operating income plus depreciation, amortization, asset impairments and Section 45 tax credits, reduced by capital expenditures. The awards were calculated using a target compensation amount for each participant and were adjusted, subject to prescribed limitations, based on the actual consolidated free cash flow generated during the six-month performance period ended September 30, 2010, using a threshold/target/maximum adjustment structure. The actual free cash flow generated during the performance period exceeded the maximum level, and the awards provided for 50% vesting as of September 30, 2011, with the remaining 50% to be vested as of September 30, 2012, provided the participant is still employed by Headwaters on the vest dates. Prior to settlement in cash, the awards are further adjusted using Headwaters’ average stock price for the 60 days immediately preceding each vest date.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, Headwaters recorded approximately $0.8 million of expense for the 2010 performance unit awards due to an increase in the average 60-day stock price between September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2012. The change in Headwaters’ stock price through the final vest date of September 30, 2012 will result in adjustment of the expected liability, which adjustment (whether positive or negative) will be reflected in Headwaters’ statement of operations for the September 2012 quarter. Assuming the average closing stock price for the 60 days in the period ended June 30, 2012 of $4.35 remains unchanged for the September 30, 2012 vest date, the total payouts under this arrangement, all of which have been accrued as of June 30, 2012, would be approximately $1.5 million.

In fiscal 2011, in accordance with terms of the 2010 ICP, the Committee approved grants of performance unit awards to participants in the corporate business unit related to consolidated free cash flow generated during fiscal year 2011, with terms similar to those described above for 2010. Because the actual consolidated free cash flow generated during fiscal 2011 was below the threshold, these awards did not vest and no liability was recorded. During the December 2011 quarter, the Committee approved grants to participants in the corporate business unit related to consolidated free cash flow generated during fiscal 2012, again with terms similar to those described above for 2010. As of June 30, 2012, approximately $4.2 million has been recorded for the 2012 grants.

Cash-Settled SAR Grants.  In fiscal 2011, the Committee approved grants to certain employees of approximately 0.4 million cash-settled SARs. These SARs vest in annual installments through September 30, 2013, provided the participant is still employed at the respective vest dates, and will be settled in cash upon exercise by the employee. The SARs terminate on September 30, 2015 and must be exercised on or before that date. As of June 30, 2012, approximately $0.3 million has been accrued for these awards because the stock price at June 30, 2012 was above the grant-date stock price of $3.81. Future changes in Headwaters’ stock price in any amount beyond the grant-date stock price of $3.81 through September 30, 2015 will result in adjustment to the expected liability, which adjustment (whether positive or negative) will be reflected in Headwaters’ statement of operations each quarter.

During the December 2011 quarter, the Committee approved grants to certain officers and employees of approximately 1.0 million cash-settled SARs, with terms similar to those described above, except that these SARs could not vest until and unless the 60-day average stock price exceeded approximately 135% of the stock price on the date of grant (or $2.50), which threshold must occur prior to September 30, 2014. The 60-day average stock price exceeded the required threshold during the March 2012 quarter and approximately $1.5 million has been accrued for these awards as of June 30, 2012. Changes in Headwaters’ stock price in any amount beyond the grant-date stock price of $1.85 through September 30, 2016 will result in adjustment to the expected liability, which adjustment (whether positive or negative) will be reflected in Headwaters’ statement of operations each quarter.

Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (DDCP).  In January 2012, the Board of Directors approved a new deferred compensation plan for non-employee directors of Headwaters. The DDCP is a nonqualified plan that allows Headwaters and eligible directors to make tax-deferred contributions of certain cash compensation. Expenses incurred under the DDCP during the nine months ended June 30, 2012 were approximately $0.3 million.

Property, Plant and Equipment — As of June 30, 2012, Headwaters was committed to spend approximately $1.4 million on capital projects that were in various stages of completion.

Legal Matters — Headwaters has ongoing litigation and asserted claims which have been incurred during the normal course of business, including the specific matters discussed below. Headwaters intends to vigorously defend or resolve these matters by settlement, as appropriate. Management does not currently believe that the outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on Headwaters’ operations, cash flow or financial position.

Historically, until fiscal 2011, costs paid to outside legal counsel for litigation comprised a majority of Headwaters’ litigation-related costs. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, Headwaters incurred approximately $16.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of expense for legal matters. Headwaters currently believes the range of potential loss for all unresolved legal matters, excluding costs for outside counsel, is from $16.0 million up to the amounts sought by claimants and has recorded a total liability as of June 30, 2012 of $16.0 million, of which $15.0 million was incurred during the March 2011 quarter. Claims and damages sought by claimants in excess of this amount are not deemed to be probable. Headwaters’ outside counsel and management currently believe that unfavorable outcomes of outstanding litigation are neither probable nor remote. Accordingly, management cannot express an opinion as to the ultimate amount, if any, of Headwaters’ liability, nor is it possible to estimate what litigation-related costs will be in future periods.

The specific matters discussed below raise difficult and complex legal and factual issues, and the resolution of these issues is subject to many uncertainties, including the facts and circumstances of each case, the jurisdiction in which each case is brought, and the future decisions of juries, judges, and arbitrators. Therefore, although management believes that the claims asserted against Headwaters in the named cases lack merit, there is a possibility of material losses in excess of the amounts accrued if one or more of the cases were to be determined adversely against Headwaters for a substantial amount of the damages asserted. It is possible that a change in the estimates of probable liability could occur, and the changes could be material. Additionally, as with any litigation, these proceedings require that Headwaters incur substantial costs, including attorneys’ fees, managerial time and other personnel resources, in pursuing resolution.

Boynton.  In 1998, Headwaters entered into a technology purchase agreement with James G. Davidson and Adtech, Inc. The transaction transferred certain patent and royalty rights to Headwaters related to a synthetic fuel technology invented by Davidson. In 2002, Headwaters received a summons and complaint from the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee filed by former stockholders of Adtech alleging, among other things, fraud, conspiracy, constructive trust, conversion, patent infringement and interference with contract arising out of the 1998 technology purchase agreement entered into between Davidson and Adtech on the one hand, and Headwaters on the other. All claims against Headwaters were dismissed in pretrial proceedings except claims of conspiracy and constructive trust. The District Court certified a class comprised of substantially all purported stockholders of Adtech, Inc. The plaintiffs sought compensatory damages from Headwaters in the approximate amount of $43.0 million plus prejudgment interest and punitive damages. In June 2009, a jury reached a verdict in a trial in the amount of $8.7 million for the eight named plaintiffs representing a portion of the class members. In September 2010, a jury reached a verdict after a trial for the remaining 46 members of the class in the amount of $7.3 million.  In April 2011, the trial court entered an order for a constructive trust in the amount of approximately $16.0 million (the same amount as the sum of the previous jury verdicts), denied all other outstanding motions, and entered judgment against Headwaters in the total approximate amount of $16.0 million, in accordance with the verdicts and order on constructive trust. The $16.0 million is fully accrued. The court denied all post-judgment motions by the parties. Headwaters filed a supersedeas bond and a notice of appeal from the judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Plaintiffs also filed notice of an appeal. The Federal Circuit has transferred the case to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit on the basis of jurisdiction. Because the resolution of the litigation is uncertain, legal counsel and management cannot express an opinion as to the ultimate amount, if any, of Headwaters’ liability.

EPA.  In April 2012, Headwaters Resources, Inc. (HRI) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The complaint alleges that the EPA has failed to review, and where necessary, revise applicable RCRA subtitle D regulations applicable to the disposal of coal ash within the timeframe required by statute. Other parties also have initiated litigation against the EPA alleging the same (and other) failures of the EPA to perform its duties regarding coal ash disposal regulations. HRI’s complaint seeks declaratory relief and should provide HRI an opportunity to represent its interests before the court makes orders with respect to EPA rulemaking at issue in the case. The court has consolidated HRI’s case with related actions brought by other parties. Because the resolution of the litigation is uncertain, legal counsel and management cannot express an opinion as to the ultimate outcome.

Fentress Families Trust.  VFL Technology Corporation (VFL), acquired by HRI in 2004, provides services related to fly ash management to Virginia Electric and Power Company. In February 2012, 383 plaintiffs, most of whom are residents living in the City of Chesapeake, Virginia, filed a complaint in the State of Virginia Chesapeake Circuit Court against 15 defendants, including Virginia Electric and Power Company, and certain other persons associated with the Battlefield Golf Course, including owners, developers, contractors, and others, including VFL and Headwaters, alleging causes of action for nuisance and negligence. The complaint alleges that fly ash used to construct the golf course was carried in the air and contaminated water exposing plaintiffs to dangerous chemicals and causing property damage. Plaintiffs’ complaint seeks injunctive relief and damages of approximately $850.0 million for removal and remediation of the fly ash and the water supply, $1.9 billion for vexation, $8.0 million and other unspecified amounts for personal injuries, and $55.0 million as damages to properties, plus prejudgment interest, attorney fees, and costs. In a related case, other plaintiffs have filed a separate lawsuit asserting the same claims against the same defendants claiming additional damages totaling approximately $307.2 million. VFL and Headwaters have not yet been served with either complaint. These new cases are based on substantially the same alleged circumstances asserted in complaints filed by the plaintiffs in 2009 and voluntarily dismissed in 2010. HRI has filed insurance claims, which are the subject of dispute and a separate lawsuit, although insurance is paying for the defense of the underlying case. The amount of the claims against HRI exceeds the amount of insurance. Because resolution of the litigation is uncertain, legal counsel and management cannot express an opinion as to the ultimate amount, if any, of HRI’s liability, or the insurers’ obligation to indemnify HRI against loss, if any.

Neil Wallace.  The plaintiff, Neil Wallace, filed a complaint in the State of Virginia Chesapeake Circuit Court against Virginia Electric and Power Company and related entities (VEPCO), VFL and Headwaters alleging personal injuries arising from exposure to the fly ash used to build the golf course described in the Fentress Families Trust case. Plaintiff claims that he worked on the golf course site from 2002-2007 and that as a result, he contracted kidney cancer. Plaintiff was the managing member and corporate counsel of CPM Virginia, LLC (CPM). CPM was a fly ash manager for VEPCO and was an owner and developer of the golf course. Plaintiff claims damages of $10.0 million. VFL and HRI have not yet been served with the complaint. HRI expects that its insurers will defend and indemnify HRI and VFL. Because resolution of the litigation is uncertain, legal counsel and management cannot express an opinion as to the ultimate amount, if any, of HRI’s liability, or the insurers’ obligation to indemnify HRI against loss, if any.

Oxford Mining Company.  In 2007, Covol Fuels No. 2, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Headwaters Energy Services Corp. (Covol), entered into an agreement for the sale of coal produced by Covol from certain operations in Kentucky.  In 2009, the agreement was assigned by the buyer to Oxford Mining Company—Kentucky, LLC (Oxford).  Covol claims that the economically recoverable source coal for the agreement is exhausted and that as a result, the agreement has terminated.  In October 2011, Covol filed a petition in the Franklin Circuit Court of the Commonwealth of Kentucky seeking declaratory judgment that the agreement has terminated.  In December 2011, Oxford answered, denying that the agreement was terminated and requesting that the court dismiss Covol’s petition.  Oxford also filed a counterclaim alleging that Covol is in breach of the agreement for failing to provide coal and that Oxford’s present and anticipated damages are estimated to be at least $5.0 million, in addition to its costs associated with the litigation, including attorneys’ fees.  Covol denies the counterclaim. Because the resolution of the litigation is uncertain, legal counsel and management cannot express an opinion as to the ultimate amount, if any, of Covol’s liability.

Reechcraft.  In 2006, Tapco International Corporation entered into a contract with Reechcraft, Inc. for Reechcraft to manufacture and supply sheet metal bending tools, accessories for those tools, and specialized scaffolding systems to Tapco. Reechcraft claims that Tapco failed to purchase the quantity of products required under the contract. In July 2012, Reechcraft filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association in Chicago, Illinois, claiming damages of $3.1 million, in addition to interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. Tapco denies Reechcraft’s allegations. Because the resolution of the arbitration is uncertain, legal counsel and management cannot express an opinion as to the ultimate amount, if any, of Tapco’s liability.

Archstone.  Archstone owns an apartment complex in Westbury, New York. Archstone alleges that moisture penetrated the building envelope and damaged moisture sensitive parts of the buildings which began to rot and grow mold. In 2008, Archstone evicted its tenants and began repairing the 21 apartment buildings. Also in 2008, Archstone filed a complaint in the Nassau County Supreme Court of the State of New York against the prime contractor and its performance bond surety, the designer, and Eldorado Stone, LLC which supplied architectural stone that was installed by others during construction. The prime contractor then sued over a dozen subcontractors who in turn sued others. Archstone claims as damages approximately $36.0 million in repair costs, $15.0 million in lost lease payments, $7.0 million paid to tenants who sued Archstone, and $7.0 million for class action defense fees, plus prejudgment interest and attorney’s fees. Eldorado Stone answered denying liability and tendered the matter to its insurers who are paying for the defense of the case. The court has dismissed all claims against Eldorado Stone, except the claim of negligence, and the parties are pursuing an interlocutory appeal of the order of dismissal. Meanwhile, discovery is underway. Because the resolution of the action is uncertain, legal counsel and management cannot express an opinion concerning the likely outcome of this matter, the liability of Eldorado Stone, if any, or the insurers’ obligation to indemnify Eldorado Stone against loss, if any.

Headwaters Building Products Matters.  There are litigation and pending and threatened claims made against certain subsidiaries of Headwaters Building Products (HBP), a division within Headwaters’ light building products segment, with respect to several types of exterior finish systems manufactured and sold by its subsidiaries for application by contractors on residential and commercial buildings. Typically, litigation and these claims are defended by such subsidiaries’ insurance carriers. The plaintiffs or claimants in these matters have alleged that the structures have suffered damage from latent or progressive water penetration due to some alleged failure of the building product or wall system. One claim involves alleged defects associated with components of an Exterior Insulating and Finish System (EIFS) which was produced for a limited time (through 1997) by the HBP subsidiaries. Other claims involve alleged liabilities associated with certain stucco, mortar, aerated concrete block and architectural stone products which are produced and sold by certain subsidiaries of HBP. The Archstone case summarized above is an example of these types of claims.

Typically, the claims cite damages for alleged personal injuries and punitive damages for alleged unfair business practices in addition to asserting more conventional damage claims for alleged economic loss and damage to property. To date, claims made against such subsidiaries have been paid by their insurers, with the exception of deductibles or self-insured retentions, although such insurance carriers typically have issued “reservation of rights” letters. There is no guarantee of insurance coverage or continuing coverage. These and future proceedings may result in substantial costs to HBP, including attorneys’ fees, managerial time and other personnel resources and costs. Adverse resolution of these proceedings could have a materially negative effect on HBP’s business, financial condition, and results of operation, and its ability to meet its financial obligations. Although HBP carries general and product liability insurance, HBP cannot assure that such insurance coverage will remain available, that HBP’s insurance carrier will remain viable, or that the insured amounts will cover all future claims in excess of HBP’s uninsured retention. Future rate increases may also make such insurance uneconomical for HBP to maintain. In addition, the insurance policies maintained by HBP exclude claims for damages resulting from exterior insulating finish systems, or EIFS, that have manifested after March 2003. Because resolution of the litigation and claims is uncertain, legal counsel and management cannot express an opinion as to the ultimate amount, if any, of HBP’s liability.

Other.  Headwaters and its subsidiaries are also involved in other legal proceedings that have arisen in the normal course of business.

Long-term Debt

6.Long-term Debt

The total undiscounted face amount of Headwaters’ outstanding long-term debt was $543.1 million as of September 30, 2011 and $508.4 million as of June 30, 2012. As of those dates, long-term debt consisted of the following:

(in thousands)	September 30, 2011			June 30,2012

Less current portion	(9,014		)	0
Carrying amount of long-term debt, net of discounts	$	518,789		$	503,062

7-5/8% Senior Secured Notes — In March 2011, Headwaters issued $400.0 million of 7-5/8% senior secured notes for net proceeds of approximately $392.8 million. Headwaters used most of the net proceeds to repay the former 11-3/8% senior secured notes and the related early repayment premium of approximately $59.0 million (which premium was charged to interest expense). The 11-3/8% notes were issued at a discount which was being amortized to interest expense over the original term of the debt. Upon early repayment in March 2011, the remaining unamortized balances of approximately $2.2 million of debt discount and $6.6 million of debt issue costs were written off and charged to interest expense, as was $1.1 million of banking fees related to the tender offer.

The 7-5/8% notes mature in April 2019 and bear interest at a rate of 7.625%, payable semiannually. The notes are secured by substantially all assets of Headwaters; however, the note holders have a second priority position with respect to the assets that secure the ABL Revolver, currently consisting of certain trade receivables and inventories of Headwaters’ light building products and heavy construction materials segments. The notes are senior in priority to all other outstanding and future subordinated debt.

Headwaters can redeem the 7-5/8% notes, in whole or in part, at any time after March 2015 at redemption prices ranging from 103.8% to 100.0%, depending on the redemption date. In addition, through March 2014 Headwaters can redeem at a price of 107.6% up to 35% of the outstanding notes with the net proceeds from one or more equity offerings. Headwaters can also redeem up to 10% of the notes in any 12-month period through March 2014 at a price of 103%, and can redeem any portion of the notes at any time through March 2015 at a price equal to 100% plus a make-whole premium.

The senior secured notes limit Headwaters in the incurrence of additional debt and liens on assets, prepayment of future subordinated debt, merging or consolidating with another company, selling all or substantially all assets, making investments and the payment of dividends or distributions, among other things. Headwaters was in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2012.

ABL Revolver — Since entering into the ABL Revolver, Headwaters has not borrowed any funds under the arrangement and has no borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2012. Availability under the ABL Revolver cannot exceed $70.0 million, which includes a $35.0 million sub-line for letters of credit and a $10.5 million swingline facility. Availability under the ABL Revolver is further limited by the borrowing base valuations of the assets of Headwaters’ light building products and heavy construction materials segments which secure the borrowings, currently consisting of certain trade receivables and inventories. In addition to the first lien position on these assets, the ABL Revolver lenders have a second priority position on substantially all other assets of Headwaters. During the 2011 fiscal year, Headwaters secured a letter of credit under terms of the ABL Revolver for approximately $16.1 million in order to post bond in connection with the filing of an appeal in the Boynton matter described in Note 12. Headwaters has also secured additional letters of credit for approximately $2.8 million for other purposes. As of June 30, 2012, availability under the ABL Revolver was approximately $51.1 million.

Outstanding borrowings under the ABL Revolver accrue interest at Headwaters’ option, at either i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.25%, 2.50% or 2.75%, depending on Headwaters’ fixed charge coverage ratio; or ii) the “Base Rate” plus 1.0%, 1.25% or 1.5%, again depending on the fixed charge coverage ratio. The base rate is subject to a floor equal to the highest of i) the prime rate, ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, and iii) the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.0%. Fees on the unused portion of the ABL Revolver range from 0.25% to 0.50%, depending on the amount of the credit facility which is utilized. If there would have been borrowings outstanding under the ABL Revolver as of June 30, 2012, the interest rate on those borrowings would have been approximately 3.2%. The ABL Revolver has a termination date of October 2014, with a contingent provision for early termination three months prior to the earliest maturity date of the senior secured notes or any of the convertible senior subordinated notes (currently November 2013), at which time any amounts borrowed must be repaid. The contingent provision for early termination is precluded if, three months prior to any note maturity date, borrowing base capacity under the ABL Revolver and / or cash collateral is at least equivalent to the notes maturing on such date.

The ABL Revolver contains restrictions and covenants common to such agreements, including limitations on the incurrence of additional debt and liens on assets, prepayment of subordinated debt, merging or consolidating with another company, selling assets, making capital expenditures, making acquisitions and investments and the payment of dividends or distributions, among other things. In addition, if availability under the ABL Revolver is less than a specified percentage (15%), Headwaters is required to maintain a monthly fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0x for the preceding twelve-month period. Headwaters was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2012.

Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes — The Form 10-K includes a detailed description of all of Headwaters’ convertible senior subordinated notes that were in existence as of September 30, 2011. In June 2012, Headwaters issued approximately $49.8 million of new 8.75% convertible senior subordinated notes (8.75% notes) in exchange for cancellation of an equal amount of outstanding 2.50% convertible senior subordinated notes (2.50% notes), plus a cash payment of approximately $0.6 million. The unamortized balances of debt discount and debt issue costs related to the $49.8 million of retired 2.50% notes, aggregating approximately $4.5 million, were written off and charged to interest expense. The 8.75% notes have a maturity date of February 2016 with no early redemption options for either Headwaters or the holders of the notes. Other than the different interest rate and two-year extended maturity date, the terms of the 8.75% notes, including the significant terms of conversion, are similar in all material respects to the terms of the 2.50% notes as described in the Form 10-K. Headwaters’ Chairman and CEO was a holder of $1.15 million of the 2.50% notes that were exchanged for 8.75% notes, which exchange was approved by the Board of Directors and occurred under the same terms as for the other exchange participants.

In the December 2011 quarter, Headwaters repurchased and canceled $7.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2.50% notes for cash consideration of approximately $5.5 million. The $2.0 million gain was recorded in other income. Accelerated debt discount and debt issue costs aggregating approximately $0.9 million were charged to interest expense. In the March 2012 quarter, Headwaters repurchased and canceled approximately $12.0 million of the 14.75% notes. Terms of repayment included premiums of approximately $1.6 million, which were charged to interest expense. Accelerated debt discount and debt issue costs aggregating approximately $0.7 million were also charged to interest expense.

In the June 2012 quarter, Headwaters repurchased and canceled the remaining $1.0 million outstanding balance of 14.75% notes, which repurchase included a premium of approximately $0.1 million. The premium and accelerated debt discount and debt issue costs aggregating approximately $0.2 million were charged to interest expense. Also in the June 2012 quarter, Headwaters redeemed at par the remaining $9.2 million of 16% notes and repurchased and canceled $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2.50% notes for cash consideration of approximately $4.7 million. The $0.3 million gain was recorded in other income. Accelerated debt discount and debt issue costs aggregating approximately $0.5 million were charged to interest expense.

Interest and Debt Maturities — During the June 2011 and 2012 quarters, Headwaters incurred total interest costs of approximately $13.4 million and $16.0 million, respectively, including approximately $2.6 million and $6.8 million, respectively, of non-cash interest expense. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, Headwaters incurred total interest costs of approximately $113.1 million and $42.2 million, respectively, including approximately $17.1 million and $12.7 million, respectively, of non-cash interest expense and approximately $0.1 million of interest costs that were capitalized in both periods. Interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 includes approximately $59.0 million of early repayment premium related to the retirement of the 11-3/8% senior secured notes in March 2011.

Interest income was approximately $0.1 million and $0 in the June 2011 and 2012 quarters, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on the face amount of outstanding long-term debt, excluding amortization of debt discount and debt issue costs, was approximately 6.8% at September 30, 2011 and 7.1% at June 30, 2012. There are currently no maturities of debt prior to February 2014.

The decreases during 2012 in gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization are attributable to fully amortized assets that have been removed from the respective accounts. Total amortization expense related to intangible assets was approximately $5.7 million and $4.9 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Total amortization expense was approximately $16.8 million and $15.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Total estimated annual amortization expense for fiscal years 2012 through 2017 is shown in the following table.

13.Equity Method Investee

Investments in entities in which Headwaters has a significant influence over operating and financial decisions are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. One such equity method investee was Blue Flint Ethanol LLC (Blue Flint). Effective January 1, 2012, Headwaters sold its interest in Blue Flint for approximately $18.5 million. Subsequent to Headwaters’ initial investment in Blue Flint, equity earnings in excess of $15.0 million were recorded that increased Headwaters’ carrying value of the investment to an amount that was in excess of the sales proceeds. As a result, in December 2011, a non-cash loss of approximately $6.3 million was recorded in other expense in the statement of operations.

Shelf Registration — Headwaters filed a universal shelf registration statement with the SEC under which $210.0 million is available for future offerings of securities. A prospectus supplement describing the terms of any additional securities to be issued is required to be filed before any future offering could commence under the registration statement.

Stock-Based Compensation — Stock-based compensation expense was approximately $0.9 million and $0.5 million for the June 2011 and 2012 quarters, respectively, and $3.0 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, there was approximately $1.2 million of total compensation cost related to unvested awards not yet recognized, which will be recognized in future periods in accordance with applicable vesting terms.

Treasury Shares Held for Deferred Compensation Obligation — In accordance with the terms of the new Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (DDCP) described in Note 12, non-employee directors can elect to defer certain compensation and choose from various options how the deferred compensation will be invested. One of the investment options is Headwaters common stock. When an eligible director chooses Headwaters’ stock as an investment option, Headwaters purchases the common stock in accordance with the director’s request and holds the shares until such time as the deferred compensation obligation becomes payable, normally when the director retires from the Board. At such time, the shares held by Headwaters will be distributed to the director in satisfaction of the obligation. Headwaters accounts for the purchase of common stock as treasury stock, at cost, and the corresponding deferred compensation obligation is reflected in capital in excess of par value. Changes in the fair value of the treasury stock are not recognized. As of June 30, 2012, the treasury stock and related deferred compensation obligation had a fair value of approximately $0.1 million, which amount was not significantly different from the carrying value at cost.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

7.Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Headwaters’ financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and long-term debt. All of these financial instruments except long-term debt are either carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets or are short-term in nature. Accordingly, the carrying values for those financial instruments as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets closely approximate their fair values.

All of Headwaters’ outstanding long-term debt as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2012 was fixed-rate. Using fair values for the debt, the aggregate fair value of Headwaters’ long-term debt as of September 30, 2011 would have been approximately $427.0 million, compared to a carrying value of $527.8 million, and the aggregate fair value as of June 30, 2012 would have been approximately $501.0 million, compared to a carrying value of $503.1 million.

Fair value “Level 2” estimates for long-term debt were based primarily on discounted future cash flows using estimated current risk-adjusted borrowing rates for similar instruments. The fair values for long-term debt differ from the carrying values primarily due to interest rates that differ from current market interest rates and differences between Headwaters’ common stock price at the balance sheet measurement dates and the conversion prices for the convertible senior subordinated notes.

Income Taxes

8.Income Taxes

Headwaters’ estimated effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012, exclusive of discrete items, is currently expected to be approximately negative (12)%, which estimated rate was used to calculate income taxes for the June 2012 quarter and nine-month periods. Headwaters has also recognized approximately $1.5 million of net income tax benefit for discrete items that did not affect the calculation of the estimated effective income tax rate for the 2012 fiscal year. A majority of the benefit recognized for discrete items represented adjustments related to unrecognized income tax benefits. For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, Headwaters used an estimated effective income tax rate of negative (1)%, excluding approximately $3.2 million of income tax expense for discrete items.

Headwaters utilized its fiscal 2009 and prior year federal net operating losses (NOLs) by carrying those amounts back to prior years, receiving income tax refunds. NOLs and tax credit carryforwards for fiscal 2010 were offset by Headwaters’ existing deferred income tax liabilities resulting in a near $0 deferred tax position as of September 30, 2010. In fiscal 2011, Headwaters recorded a full valuation allowance on its net amortizable deferred tax assets, a situation that is also expected to continue throughout fiscal 2012. Accordingly, Headwaters does not expect to recognize any benefit for pre-tax losses and tax credits in fiscal 2012. A valuation allowance is required when there is significant uncertainty as to the realizability of deferred tax assets. Because the realization of Headwaters’ deferred tax assets is dependent upon future income in domestic and foreign jurisdictions that have generated losses, management determined that Headwaters does not meet the “more likely than not” threshold that NOLs, tax credits and deferred tax assets will be realized. Accordingly, a valuation allowance is required.

The estimated effective income tax rate for fiscal 2012 of negative (12)% is due primarily to the combination of not recognizing benefit for expected pre-tax losses and tax credits, but recognizing current state income taxes in certain state jurisdictions where Headwaters expects to generate taxable income. As of June 30, 2012, Headwaters’ NOL and capital loss carryforwards total approximately $70.9 million (tax effected). The U.S. and state NOLs and capital losses expire from 2012 to 2032. Substantially all of the non-U.S. NOLs do not expire. In addition, there are approximately $22.8 million of tax credit carryforwards as of June 30, 2012, which expire from 2014 to 2032.

The estimated effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 of negative (1)%, which was used to calculate income taxes for the 2011 periods, exclusive of discrete items, resulted from the same factors as the expected negative tax rate for 2012. The discrete items recorded during 2011 consisted primarily of changes in the valuation allowance and uncertain tax positions.

The calculation of tax liabilities involves uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in multiple tax jurisdictions. During 2012, Headwaters reached a tentative agreement with the IRS for the 2009 fiscal year examination, which, as of June 30, 2012, has not resulted in any material changes to earnings or tax-related liabilities. Headwaters currently has open tax years subject to examination by the IRS or other taxing authorities for the years 2009 through 2011. Headwaters recognizes potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and state tax jurisdictions based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes and interest will be due. If events occur (or do not occur) as expected and the payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when it is determined the liabilities are no longer required to be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expense would result. It is reasonably possible that approximately $1.5 million to $3.0 million of Headwaters’ unrecognized income tax benefits will be released within the next 12 months, depending on the timing of ongoing examinations, the expiration of statute of limitation time periods and other factors.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the periods indicated. In accordance with ASC 260, income (loss) from continuing operations for each period was used as the control number in determining whether potentially dilutive common shares should be included in the diluted earnings per share computations for those periods, even when the effect of doing so was anti-dilutive to the other per-share amounts.

Headwaters’ 7-5/8% senior secured notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Headwaters Incorporated and by all of Headwaters’ wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The non-guaranteeing entities include primarily joint ventures in which Headwaters had a non-controlling ownership interest. Separate stand-alone financial statements and disclosures for Headwaters Incorporated and each of the guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because the guarantees are full and unconditional and the guarantor subsidiaries have joint and several liability. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of Headwaters Incorporated to obtain funds from the guarantor subsidiaries nor on the ability of the guarantor subsidiaries to obtain funds from Headwaters Incorporated or other guarantor subsidiaries.
