ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

As previously announced, Congoleum Corporation (the "Company") and certain of
its United States subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary
petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (the
"Bankruptcy Court") seeking relief under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code.

The Company reports its operating results and financial statements on a
consolidated basis on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These reports are available through the SEC and
other sources, and are also available free of charge to investors who contact
the Company. As a result of the filing of the Bankruptcy case, the Debtors are
required to file periodically with the Bankruptcy Court certain financial
information on an unconsolidated basis for each of the Debtors. This information
includes Statements of Financial Affairs, schedules and certain monthly
operating reports (in forms prescribed by the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
Procedure).

The Debtors' informational filings with the Bankruptcy Court, including the
Statements of Financial Affairs, Schedules and monthly operating reports
(collectively, the "Reports"), are available to the public at the office of the
Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court, Clarkson S. Fisher U.S. Courthouse, 402 East
State Street, Trenton, NJ, 08608. Certain of the Reports may be viewed at
www.njb.uscourts.gov (Case No. 03-51524).

The Company is furnishing the information set forth above for convenience of
reference only. The Company cautions that the information contained in the
Reports is or will be unaudited and subject to change and not prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or for the purpose of
providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities
of the Company or other Debtor. In view of the inherent complexity of the
matters that may be involved in the Bankruptcy case, the Company does not
undertake any obligation to make any further public announcement with respect to
any Reports that may be filed with the Bankruptcy Court or the matters referred
to therein.
