Business. Elcor Corporation (Registrant), incorporated in 1965 as a Delaware corporation, is a publicly held corporation headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Shares of the Registrant's common stock are traded on the New York Stock Exchange with the ticker symbol - ELK. Lines of Business. Roofing Products The Registrant, through Elk Corporation of Dallas and its subsidiaries (Elk), is engaged in the manufacture and sale of premium laminated fiberglass asphalt residential roofing shingles and accessory products. Elk also manufactures and sells nonwoven fiberglass roofing mats for use in manufacturing asphalt roofing products, and nonwoven mats for use in other industrial applications. Elk is nearing completion of a $100 million expansion program to significantly increase its manufacturing capacity for premium laminated fiberglass asphalt shingles and nonwoven fiberglass mats. Elk's premium laminated fiberglass asphalt shingle manufacturing plants are located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Ennis, Texas, and a new plant in Shafter, California, which achieved its performance test level of operations effective March 1, 1996. Capital expenditures, including deferred preoperating and start-up costs, for the new plant were about $55 million. The new plant has the potential to increase Elk's capacity for manufacturing premium laminated fiberglass asphalt shingles by more than 65%. The major products manufactured at Elk's roofing plants are premium laminated fiberglass asphalt shingles sold under its brand names: Prestique(R) Plus, Prestique(R) I, Prestique(R) II and Capstone(R). In fiscal 1995, Elk introduced Prestique premium laminated fiberglass asphalt shingle product lines with the patented Enhanced High Definition(R) and Raised Profile(TM) look. In addition, Elk also manufactures premium fiberglass asphalt hip and ridge products: Seal-a-Ridge(R) and Z(R) ridge brands. Elk's roofing products are sold by employee sales personnel primarily to non-owned distributors, delivery being made by common carrier or by customer vehicles from the manufacturing plants. Elk's products are distributed in more than 40 states with Texas, California and Florida representing the largest market areas. During fiscal 1996, Elk expanded its marketing and sales efforts in the Northwestern and Midwestern United States. Elk expects these regions to provide significant growth opportunities in fiscal 1997 and beyond. The Roofing Products segment accounted for approximately 91% of consolidated sales of the Registrant in fiscal 1996. One customer, ABC 1 3 Supply Co. Inc., accounted for 13% of consolidated sales in fiscal 1996 and 11% of consolidated sales in fiscal 1995. At June 30, 1996, Elk had begun start-up operations of a major new fiberglass mat manufacturing facility, which will operate in parallel to its existing fiberglass mat manufacturing facility at its Ennis, Texas plant. It will manufacture nonwoven fiberglass roofing mats and industrial mats for facer products. The new plant will have the potential to more than triple present manufacturing capacity for nonwoven fiberglass mats. Capital expenditures, including deferred preoperating and start-up costs for the new plant addition, are estimated to be about $45 million. The new plant is expected to achieve its performance test level of operations in the first half of fiscal 1997. Elk's nonwoven fiberglass roofing mats are used in the production of its premium roofing products and are sold by employee sales personnel to other asphalt roofing products manufacturers. In addition, nonwoven mats are sold to manufacturers of construction and industrial products which use such mats in their products, and to distributors of industrial filtration products. Elk's nonwoven mats are shipped by common carrier to its other roofing plants and to its customers' locations. Industrial Products The Registrant, through Chromium Corporation (Chromium), is engaged in the remanufacture of diesel engine cylinder liners and tin plating of pistons, including hard chrome plating of cylinder bores, primarily for the railroad, marine, and stationary power industries; and hard chrome plating of original equipment cylinder liners and tin plating of pistons for major domestic locomotive manufacturers and stationary power equipment manufacturers. Chromium is also engaged in electroless shielding of plastic enclosures for telecommunications, medical electronic and other electronic equipment which is designed to control the level of electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) emissions generated by electronic components. Sales are generated by employee sales personnel, with delivery made primarily by common carrier. Chromium's sales accounted for less than 10% of consolidated sales of the Registrant in fiscal 1996. Another unit of the Registrant, OEL, LTD., d/b/a Ortloff Engineers, LTD. (Ortloff), is engaged in providing technology licensing and engineering support services, and in providing engineering consulting services to the oil and gas production, gas processing and sulfur recovery industries. Ortloff licenses technology covered by and related to eleven patents owned by the Registrant for use in new or redesigned natural gas and refinery gas processing facilities and utilizes technology licensed from others and its own expertise in the performance of consulting and engineering assignments. Ortloff continues to develop and patent improved processes for natural gas processing. One new patent was issued in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 and two additional new patents are expected to issue during fiscal 1997. Some new patent applications are currently being developed for submittal in fiscal 1997. These efforts reflect Ortloff's commitment to continually update and advance its technological position. 2 4 Patent license fees are calculated by standard formulas that take into account both specific project criteria and market conditions, adjusted for special conditions that exist in a project. Engineering consulting assignments are performed under consulting services agreements at negotiated rates. Competitive Conditions. Roofing Products Even though the asphalt roofing products manufacturing business is highly competitive, the Registrant believes that Elk is a leading manufacturer of premium laminated fiberglass asphalt shingles. Elk has been able to compete successfully with its competitors, some of which are larger in size and have greater financial resources. There are a number of major national and regional manufacturers marketing their products in a portion or all of the market areas served by the Registrant's plants. The Registrant competes primarily on the basis of product quality, design and service. Typically, the Registrant is able to sell its roofing products at higher prices than its competitors. Industrial Products The Registrant believes that Chromium is the leading remanufacturer of diesel engine cylinder liners and pistons for the railroad and marine transportation industries and is the primary supplier of hard chrome plated finishes for original equipment diesel engine cylinder liners to all of the major domestic locomotive manufacturers. The Registrant believes it has smaller competitors in the locomotive diesel engine cylinder liner remanufacturing market. The Registrant also believes that Chromium is one of the leading hard chrome platers of recycled and original equipment large bore cylinder liners for stationary power applications. Chromium has achieved a leading position in these markets through competition on the basis of product performance, quality, service and price. The Registrant, through the Conductive Coatings Division of Chromium, is engaged in electroless shielding of plastic enclosures for telecommunications, medical electronic and other electronic equipment. The Registrant believes the success of Chromium's Conductive Coatings Division in becoming a qualified supplier for and obtaining orders from major telecommunications, medical electronic and other electronic equipment manufacturers will enable it to successfully compete in this market niche with the potential of becoming a leader in the future. The Registrant believes that it holds significant state-of-the-art patents covering some of the most competitive processes for the separation of ethane and heavier hydrocarbon liquids from refinery and natural gas streams. The Registrant believes that Ortloff has widely recognized expertise in the design and operation of facilities for natural gas liquids recovery, sulfur recovery and field processing of sour crude oil and natural gas production. 3 5 Backlog. Backlog was not significant, nor is it material, in the Registrant's operations. Raw Materials. Roofing Products In the asphalt roofing products manufacturing business, the significant raw materials are ceramic coated granules, asphalt, glass fibers, resins and mineral filler. All of these materials are presently available from several sources and are in adequate supply. Historically, the Registrant has been able to pass some of the higher raw material and transportation costs through to the customer. Costs of raw materials, including asphalt and glass fibers, increased during fiscal 1996. The Registrant implemented modest price increases during the year to offset the impact of higher raw material costs. Industrial Products In the Registrant's business of hard chrome plating and remanufacturing diesel engine cylinder liners and large bore cylinder liners, chromic acid is a significant raw material which is presently available from a number of domestic suppliers. The Registrant believes these domestic suppliers obtain the ore for manufacturing chromic acid principally from sources outside the United States, some of which may be subject to political uncertainty. The Registrant has been advised by its suppliers that they maintain substantial inventories of chromic acid in order to minimize the potential effects of foreign interruption in ore supply. In the electroless shielding business, copper and nickel are the significant raw materials. These materials are presently available and are in adequate supply. No raw materials are utilized in the Registrant's engineering consulting and technology licensing business. Patents, Licenses, Franchises and Concessions. The Registrant holds certain patents, particularly in its engineering consulting and licensing business, which are significant to its operations. However, the Registrant does not believe that the loss of any one of these patents or of any license, franchise or concession would have a material adverse effect on the Registrant's overall business operations. The Registrant, through its subsidiary, Elk Corporation of Dallas, is involved in litigation against GAF Building Materials Corporation concerning design and utility patents covering aspects of Elk's High Definition shingles. Refer to Item 3 "Legal Proceedings" for a more detailed discussion of this matter. Environmental Matters. The Registrant and its subsidiaries are subject to federal, state and local requirements regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, the handling and disposal of solid and 4 6 hazardous wastes, and protection of the public health and the environment generally (collectively, Environmental Laws). Governmental authorities have the power to require compliance with these Environmental Laws, and violators may be subject to civil or criminal penalties, injunctions or both. Third parties may also have the right to sue to enforce compliance and to require remediation of contamination. The Registrant and its subsidiaries are also subject to Environmental Laws that impose liability for the costs of cleaning up contamination resulting from past spills, disposal, and other releases of hazardous substances. In particular, an entity may be subject to liability under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund) and similar state laws that impose liability -- without a showing of fault, negligence, or regulatory violations -- for the generation, transportation or disposal of hazardous substances that have caused, or may cause, environmental contamination. In addition, an entity could be liable for cleanup of property it owns or operates even if it did not contribute to the contamination of such property. From time to time, the Registrant or its subsidiaries may incur such remediation and related costs at the company owned plants and at certain offsite locations. The Registrant anticipates that its subsidiaries will incur costs to comply with Environmental Laws, including correcting existing non-compliance with such laws and achieving compliance with anticipated future standards for air emissions and reduction of waste streams. Such subsidiaries expend funds to minimize the discharge of materials into the environment and to comply with governmental regulations relating to the protection of the environment. Neither these expenditures nor other activities initiated in compliance with Environmental Laws is expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, net earnings or liquidity of the Registrant. Persons Employed. At June 30, 1996, the Registrant and its subsidiaries had 715 employees. Extended Payment Terms. In some years, the Registrant's roofing products business grants extended payment terms to certain customers for some product shipments during the late winter and early spring months, with payment generally due during the summer months. As of June 30, 1996, $6,861,000 in receivables relating to such shipments were outstanding, the majority of which were collected in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Seasonal Business. The Registrant's industrial products businesses are substantially nonseasonal. However, the Registrant's roofing products manufacturing business is seasonal to the extent that cold, wet or icy weather conditions during the late fall and winter months in its marketing areas typically limits the installation of residential roofing products which causes sales to decrease during such periods. Damage to roofs from extreme weather such as severe wind, hurricanes and hail storms can result 5 7 in higher demand for periods up to eighteen months depending upon the extent of roof damage. Working capital requirements and related borrowings fluctuate during the year because of seasonality. Generally, working capital requirements and borrowings are higher in the spring and summer months, and lower in the fall and winter months. Information as to Industry Segments. For Financial Information by Company Segments, see the table on page 35 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Executive Officers of the Registrant.

All significant facilities are owned and unencumbered by liens in favor of nonaffiliates except as discussed herein. Roofing Products Asphalt roofing products are manufactured at plants located at Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Ennis, Texas and Shafter, California. Fiberglass roofing mat, nonwoven industrial, reinforcement and filtration products are manufactured at a plant located at Ennis, Texas. A new plant at the Ennis, Texas facility to manufacture nonwoven fiberglass roofing mats, nonwoven fiberglass and industrial facer material for the construction industry has begun start-up operations and is expected to achieve its performance test level of operations in the first half of fiscal 1997. Administrative offices for the asphalt roofing products operations are located in the same leased facility as the Registrant's corporate offices in Dallas, Texas. Industrial Products Plants for the hard chrome plating of original equipment and remanufactured diesel engine cylinder liners and related equipment are located in Cleveland, Ohio and Lufkin, Texas. The Conductive Coatings Division's EMI/RFI shielding facility is located at the Lufkin, Texas plant. 7 9 Administrative offices are located in the same leased facility as the Registrant's corporate offices in Dallas, Texas. The Ortloff engineering and licensing group is located in leased offices in Midland, Texas. Corporate Offices The Registrant's corporate headquarters is located in leased offices in Dallas, Texas. In addition, the Registrant or its subsidiaries own the following properties which are being held for sale or lease: (a) Former concrete roof tile plant site in North Miami currently held for sale. (b) Land and buildings in Waco, Texas, formerly used in the solid waste baler manufacturing business. This facility is currently subject to a lease/purchase agreement. (c) Land in Tulsa, Oklahoma, purchased for use by the former engineering and construction business. This property has a pending contract for sale. (d) Land and buildings in Midland, Texas, formerly used in the engineering and construction business currently held for sale. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. GAF Patent Litigation On February 8, 1994, Elk Corporation of Dallas (Elk of Dallas) was granted a design patent covering the ornamental aspects of its High Definition(R) and Raised Profile(TM) shingles. On December 6, 1994, Elk of Dallas was granted a utility patent on the functional aspects of the High Definition and Raised Profile shingles. Elk of Dallas has sued GAF Building Materials Corporation and related entities (collectively, GAF) in federal court for infringement of these patents. In the design patent case, Elk of Dallas seeks to recover as damages the total profit that GAF has made from the infringing shingles. In the utility patent case, Elk of Dallas seeks to recover as damages a reasonable royalty on GAF's sales of infringing shingles and certain lost profits. GAF seeks a declaratory judgement that the Elk of Dallas patents are not infringed and are either invalid or unenforceable. GAF has also asserted claims for unfair competition, Lanham Act violations based on alleged false advertising, and common law fraud, generally praying for damages of not less than $25 million including actual and punitive damages, plus interest, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees. Elk of Dallas disputes GAF's claims, and management intends vigorously to defend them and to enforce its intellectual property rights. In mid-April 1996, a court ordered mediation was held but did not result in resolution of the cases. No dates have been set for trial in the design patent case or the utility patent case, but trials are expected in the first half of calendar 1997. 8 10 While management can give no assurances regarding the ultimate outcome of the litigation, outside counsel believe that Elk of Dallas will prevail on its patent and trade dress claims and that Elk of Dallas will defeat GAF's counterclaims. Even if the outcome were to be adverse to Elk of Dallas, it is not expected to have a material effect on the Registrant's financial position or liquidity. Frontier Chemical Site Certain facilities of the Registrant's subsidiaries ship waste products to various waste disposal facilities for disposal. In May 1993, Chromium received a Notification Letter from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) informing Chromium that USEPA had reason to believe that Chromium was a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) at the Frontier Chemical Royal Avenue Site (Site), a state-permitted waste processing and management facility located on 9.7 acres in Niagara Falls, New York. After receiving shipments from PRP's, the facility was closed by state regulators leaving all products shipped there on-site. USEPA identified 438 generators, including Chromium, as being responsible for Phase I of the response action. Phase I involved primarily the removal of 4,086 drums from the Site. Chromium is alleged to have sent 96 drums of waste to the Site. In September 1993, Chromium entered into an Administrative Order on Consent with USEPA without admitting any liability for USEPA findings or determinations. Chromium agreed along with the other parties to the order to perform Phase I response activities at the Site and to reimburse USEPA for response costs incurred by USEPA at the Site. All of the PRP drums were removed from the Frontier Chemical Royal Avenue Site. The work was concluded in May 1994 and the PRP group of which Chromium was a part filed its final report on May 30, 1995. Chromium was assessed a total of $109,250 under the final assessment dated July 7, 1995, an additional amount of approximately $21,000 above what it had already paid. The assessment was based on an estimated total cost of approximately $4 million. Chromium's total obligation cannot be calculated until its PRP group can determine what portion of its assessments are uncollectible. Further, USEPA cost reimbursement has not been resolved and is the subject of review. Phase II of the response action involves the removal of waste from process tanks at the Site. USEPA has issued Notice Letters to additional PRPs for Phase II. To date, the Registrant has not been named as a PRP in Phase II and does not expect to be. Estimated costs have been provided for Phase II but have not been provided for any additional phases of cleanup. Certain Phase I and Phase II PRP's instituted proceedings to intervene in a suit brought by the New York Attorney General seeking recovery of approximately $1.2 million in proceeds from a closure bond posted with the State of New York by the operators of the Frontier Site. If such proceedings are successful, participating Phase I and Phase II PRP's will share in any recovery with the State of New York. Management of the Registrant believes that the final disposition of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations, financial position, or liquidity of the Registrant. 9 11 Gibraltar Tort Litigation In December 1995 through August 1996, Chromium Corporation was named a defendant in four separate tort lawsuits brought by the same attorneys on behalf of plaintiffs who allege unspecified personal injuries and property damages associated with the operation of a licensed hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facility in Smith County, Texas known as the Gibraltar facility. In Tangee Daniels, et al. v. Akzo Nobel Chemicals, Inc. et al., which is pending in Dallas County District Court, seven plaintiffs originally sued the current and former owners and operators of the facility, and later joined 51 defendants, including Chromium and several Fortune 500 companies, as generators of waste sent to the facility. Marti Williams, et al. v. Akzo Nobel Chemicals, Inc. et al., is a related action pending in Smith County, Texas brought by four plaintiffs against the facility owners and operators and the "generator" defendants. The Williams plaintiffs have made class action allegations but have not filed a motion to certify the class. The third case, Steich v. Akzo Nobel Chemicals, Inc. et al., also was brought on behalf of several plaintiffs in Smith County, Texas and involved the same defendants as the other two cases. In June 1996, however, the plaintiffs in Steich voluntarily dismissed the "generator" defendants, including Chromium, from the case without prejudice to refile. In August 1996, Chromium and the other "generator" defendants were named in Adams v. American Ecology Environmental Services Corporation, a suit brought in Tarrant County, Texas on behalf of approximately 650 plaintiffs. In connection with the four cases, Chromium has entered into joint defense agreements with more than twenty other generator defendants. Chromium has also demanded a defense and indemnity from the facility owners pursuant to the waste disposal contract and from Chromium's insurers. To date, the facility owners have not responded and the insurers have declined or failed to accept the defense and indemnity obligation. Chromium intends to pursue its defenses vigorously. The three cases naming Chromium are in the early stages of discovery. The court in Daniels has approved an agreed trial date of June 2, 1997, but no trial date has been set in the Williams or Adams cases. Management believes that the claims brought against Chromium in the three cases are without merit. While management can give no assurances regarding the ultimate outcome of this litigation, it believes that it will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity of the Registrant. 10 12 Chromium/TWC Settlement In October 1991, the Texas Water Commission ("TWC") sent Chromium a Notice of Executive Director's Preliminary Report and Petition for a TWC Order Assessing administrative Penalties and Requiring Certain Actions of Chromium (the "Petition"). This Petition alleged several violations of TWC rules and recommended that Chromium be assessed $134,800 in penalties and ordered to perform technical, procedural, assessment and remedial activities at Chromium's Lufkin, Texas facility only ("Technical Recommendations"). Chromium timely answered this notice and negotiated an Agreed Order in settlement of this case, which the Commission executed on May 19, 1993. Under the Agreed Order, $74,800 of Chromium's penalties will be deferred and forgiven contingent on completion of the Technical Recommendations. The remaining $60,000 penalty has been paid. Chromium already has complied with many of the Technical Recommendations, and, working with the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission ("TNRCC"), TWC's successor, will implement the remainder on a schedule set forth in the Agreed Order. Management believes that this settlement will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations, financial position, or liquidity of the Registrant. Other There are various other lawsuits and claims pending against the Registrant and its subsidiaries arising in the ordinary course of their business. In the opinion of the Registrant's management based in part on advice of counsel, none of these actions should have a material adverse effect on the Registrant's consolidated results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. Inapplicable. 11 13 PART II Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Stock and Related Stockholder Matters. The principal market on which the Registrant's Common Stock is traded is the New York Stock Exchange. The Boston, Midwest, Philadelphia and Toronto Stock Exchanges have granted unlisted trading privileges for the Registrant's Common Stock. There were 1,113 holders of record of the Registrant's Common Stock at September 5, 1996. The high and low prices in dollars per share and quarterly dividends per share on Registrant's Common Stock for each quarter during fiscal year 1996 and fiscal year 1995 are set forth in the following tables:

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FISCAL 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1995 During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, sales increased 24% and net income increased to $10,284,000 from the $9,558,000 achieved in the prior fiscal year. The significant increase in sales is primarily attributable to increased shipments in the Roofing Products Group. Net income was 8% higher in fiscal 1996 as compared to the prior fiscal year despite an operating loss at the new Shafter, California roofing plant, which achieved its performance test level of operations effective March 1, 1996 and a $1,595,000 pretax provision for the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of " and the reduction in value of certain other assets during the year. Sales for the Roofing Products Group increased 28% in fiscal 1996 compared to fiscal 1995, primarily as a result of a 23% increase in shipments of premium laminated fiberglass asphalt shingles in fiscal 1996. Sales from the new plant at Shafter, California accounted for a significant part of the increased shipments. Average selling prices were slightly higher nationally in the current fiscal year and transportation costs in the Western states were lower due to shipments originating from the Shafter plant. Operating profit in fiscal 1996 was $22,124,000 compared to $18,015,000 in the prior fiscal year despite incurring a significant operating loss in fiscal 1996 at the Shafter facility in its start-up year. Asphalt and glass fiber raw material costs were higher in fiscal 1996 than in fiscal 1995. However, the Company was able to implement price increases to offset these higher raw material costs. Demand is expected to remain good in the Company's major market areas in fiscal 1997. However, earnings are expected to be affected by operating losses at the new Shafter facility until the plant's operating level and product mix reach its break-even point. The Company's new plant at its Ennis, Texas facility to manufacture nonwoven fiberglass roofing mat and industrial facer products for the construction industry is expected to become operational in the first half of fiscal 1997 but is not expected to have a significant effect on profitability in fiscal 1997. Revenues for the Industrial Products Group decreased 10% in fiscal 1996 to $17,930,000 from $19,960,000 in the prior fiscal year as a result of Chromium Corporation's customers reducing orders during fiscal 1996 due to model changes and inventory adjustments. Shipments of hard chrome plated diesel engine cylinder liners and remanufactured pistons for the railroad, marine and stationary power industries were significantly reduced in fiscal 1996 compared to the prior fiscal year. Revenues relating to conductive coatings of plastic enclosures for electronic equipment did not significantly change in fiscal 1996 compared to fiscal 1995. The Industrial Products Group reported a $302,000 operating loss in fiscal 1996 compared to a $2,099,000 operating profit in fiscal 1995 as a result of the reduction in revenues, lower operating income from engineering consulting services and licensing of patents in the cryogenic processing of natural gas and refinery gas streams by Ortloff Engineers, Ltd., and $1,037,000 in charges relating to the reduction in value of assets at Chromium's Cleveland 14 16 plant upon adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996. The Company's overall gross margin on sales was 23% in fiscal 1996 compared to 27% in fiscal 1995. The reduction in the gross margin percentage is primarily attributable to significantly higher sales with operating losses at the new Shafter facility. Selling, general and administrative costs (SG&A) as a percentage of sales were 15% for fiscal 1996 compared to 17% in fiscal 1995. During fiscal 1995, the Company established a larger sales organization to better serve growing market areas. This larger organization has been able to service a significant increase in sales orders without a proportionate increase in overall selling costs. FISCAL 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1994 During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, income from continuing operations decreased to $9,558,000 from the $15,571,000 achieved in the prior fiscal year despite a 1% increase in sales in fiscal 1995. Increased sales and a significant turnaround in operating results in the Industrial Products Group were offset by slightly lower sales and lower operating income for the Roofing Products Group. Fiscal year 1994 included a $1,494,000 loss relating to its discontinued solid waste baler manufacturing subsidiary and a $668,000 gain from adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Sales for the Roofing Products Group were slightly lower in fiscal 1995 than for fiscal 1994 despite a 6% increase in shipments of premium laminated fiberglass asphalt shingles in fiscal 1995. Average net selling prices were 5% lower in fiscal 1995. Operating profit in fiscal 1995 was $18,015,000 compared to $31,415,000 in the prior year. Late in the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company introduced enhanced versions of its patented High Definition(R) Prestique(R) Plus and Prestique(R) I product lines and Raised Profile(TM) Prestique(R) II premium laminated fiberglass asphalt shingles. The higher cost of introducing these new products, together with pricing adjustments, higher transportation costs and lower production to reduce inventory levels during the seasonally slower winter months significantly reduced operating results during fiscal 1995 as compared to the prior year. Revenues for the Industrial Products Group increased 16% in fiscal year 1995 to $19,960,000 from $17,198,000 in the prior fiscal year. Increased sales volume was achieved for many of Chromium Corporation's product lines, including hard chrome plated diesel engine cylinder liners and remanufactured pistons for the railroad, marine and stationary power industries and conductive coatings of plastic enclosures for electronic equipment. An operating profit of $2,099,000 was achieved by the Industrial Products Group in fiscal 1995 compared to a $2,804,000 operating loss in the prior year as a result of higher sales volumes and reduced operating costs at Chromium. Costs of $1,706,000 incurred in connection with a closed Chromium plant were included in the fiscal 1994 operating loss. Operating income from consulting and licensing of patents in the cryogenic processing of natural gas and refinery gas streams by Ortloff Engineers, Ltd. was lower in fiscal 1995 than in the prior year. 15 17 Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 9% during fiscal 1995 as compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of increased selling and marketing expenses in the Roofing Products Group due to increased promotional activities and establishing a larger sales organization to better serve growing markets. As a percentage of sales, SG&A costs were 17% in fiscal 1995 compared to 16% in fiscal 1994. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company generated cash flows from operating activities of $3,639,000, despite a $17,058,000 increase in working capital in fiscal 1996. The significant increase in working capital was primarily the result of higher accounts receivable and inventories, partially offset by higher current liabilities. Receivables increased $9,572,000 during the year primarily as a result of higher sales generated during fiscal 1996, together with increased deferred payment term receivables. At June 30, 1996, deferred payment term receivables from promotional programs to certain customers were $6,861,000 compared to $884,000 in receivables from these programs at June 30, 1995. These deferred receivables are primarily due during the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Inventories increased $15,047,000 during fiscal 1996. The majority of this increase related to finished goods inventories which were substantially increased as a result of inventory stocking requirements at the new roofing plant in Shafter, California and building inventories in anticipation of increased demand during the summer and early fall. The current ratio at June 30, 1996 was 2.7 to 1 compared to 2.5 to 1 at June 30, 1995. Historically, working capital requirements and associated borrowings fluctuate during the year because of seasonality in some market areas. Generally, working capital requirements and borrowings are higher in the spring and summer months, and lower in the fall and winter months. The Company used $40,757,000 for investing activities in fiscal 1996. The majority of these expenditures were for capital expenditures and related deferred preoperating costs incurred in connection with the completion of a new roofing plant in Shafter, California and construction of a new plant at the Company's Ennis, Texas facility to manufacture nonwoven fiberglass roofing mat and industrial facer products for the construction industry. These new plants should provide the potential to significantly increase the Company's sales, earnings and cash flows when operating at expected levels in the years ahead. The Company is nearing the end of its three-year major new facilities expansion program. Capital expenditures are expected to be substantially less in fiscal 1997, with planned expenditures in the range of $10,000,000 to $12,000,000. Cash flows provided by financing activities were $32,898,000 in fiscal 1996, primarily resulting from a $34,600,000 increase in long-term borrowings to finance the expansion program and higher working capital requirements. Despite the significant increase in fiscal 1996, long-term debt represented only 34% of the $155,198,000 of invested capital (long- term debt plus shareholders' equity) at June 30, 1996. In December 1995, the Company increased its unsecured revolving line of credit from $50,000,000 to $70,000,000 and extended the term to October 31, 1998. As of June 30, 1996, $14,982,000 was available under this facility. 16 18 The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the purchase of up to $10,000,000 of the Company's common shares from time to time on the open market to be used for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 1996, 94,800 shares with cumulative cost of $1,440,000 had been repurchased under this program. In September 1995, the Board of Directors reinstated the Company's regular quarterly cash dividend at six cents per common share. The Company's operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental matters. Although the Company does not believe it will be required to expend amounts which will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations by reason of environmental laws and regulations, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and could result in significantly increased cost of compliance. Further, certain of the Company's industrial products operations utilize hazardous materials in their production process. As a result, the Company incurs costs for remediation activities off-site and at its facilities from time to time. The Company established and maintains reserves for remediation activities, when appropriate, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies." Current reserves established for known or probable remediation activities are not material to the Company's financial position or results of operations. Management believes that current cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and its unsecured revolving credit facility should be sufficient during fiscal 1997 and beyond to fund its planned capital expenditures, working capital needs, dividends, stock repurchases and other cash requirements. Management also believes its revolving credit facility could be amended to provide additional cash resources. OUTLOOK At the present time, management expects that strong demand for its patented Enhanced High Definition and Raised Profile shingles will increase shipments and sales to record levels in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, a trend that should also result in substantially higher sales for fiscal year 1997 as well. Management currently expects fiscal 1997 earnings per share to range between $1.30 to $1.50 per share compared to $1.16 per share in fiscal 1996. The earlier quarters are expected to be challenging, and management believes earnings will be in the general range of, or possibly lower than, comparable quarters in fiscal 1996, until the Company completes certain modifications at the Shafter plant and both new plants get manufacturing output, product mix and sales above the break-even point. Longer term, management believes it has made the investments to expand capacity that should enable the Company to achieve strong growth in sales, earnings and cash flows in the years ahead. FORWARD - LOOKING STATEMENTS Management's discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition and other sections of this Annual Report on Form 10-K contain "forward-looking statements" about its prospects for the future. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could 17 19 cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to the following: 1. The Company's roofing products business is cyclical and is affected by weather and some of the same economic factors that affect the housing and home improvement industries generally, including interest rates, the availability of financing and general economic conditions. In addition, the asphalt roofing products manufacturing business is highly competitive. Actions of competitors, including changes in pricing, or slowing demand for asphalt roofing products due to general or industry economic conditions or the amount of inclement weather could result in decreased demand for the Company's products, lower prices received or reduced utilization of plant facilities. 2. In the asphalt roofing products business, the significant raw materials are ceramic coated granules, asphalt, glass fibers, resins and mineral filler. Increased costs of raw materials can result in reduced margins, as can higher trucking and rail costs. Historically, the Company has been able to pass some of the higher raw material and transportation costs through to the customer. Should the Company be unable to recover higher raw material and transportation costs from price increases of its products, operating results could be lower than projected. 3. The Company is nearing completion of a $100 million expansion program which included a new roofing plant in Shafter, California and the construction of a new plant at the Company's Ennis, Texas facility to manufacture nonwoven fiberglass roofing mat and industrial facer products for the construction industry. As new facilities, their progress in achieving anticipated operating efficiencies and financial results is difficult to predict. If such progress is slower than anticipated, or if demand for products produced at either of these new plants does not meet current expectations, operating results could be adversely affected. 4. Certain facilities of the Company's industrial products subsidiaries must utilize hazardous materials in their production process. As a result, the Company could incur costs for remediation activities at its facilities or off-site, and other related exposures from time to time in excess of established reserves for such activities. 5. The Company's litigation, including it's patent infringement suits against GAF, is subject to inherent and case-specific uncertainty. The outcome of such litigation depends on numerous interrelated factors, many of which cannot be predicted. Parties are cautioned not to rely on any such forward-looking beliefs or judgments in making investment decisions. 18 20 Item 8.

The Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part of this statement. 24 26 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF BUSINESS Elcor Corporation (the Company), through subsidiaries, is engaged in two lines of business: Roofing Products and Industrial Products. The Roofing Products segment, which accounts for over 90% of consolidated sales, manufactures and sells premium laminated fiberglass asphalt residential roofing products, together with nonwoven mats used in manufacturing asphalt roofing products and various industrial applications. The Industrial Products group of companies is engaged in the plating of proprietary finishes for large diesel engine cylinder liners and pistons, the shielding of plastic enclosures from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, and engineering consulting services and licensing of certain patented technologies. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries after elimination of significant intercompany balances and transactions. Service revenues and related expenses are not disaggregated in the Consolidated Statement of Operations due to immateriality. Certain prior year information has been reclassified for consistency of presentation. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The majority of the Company's sales are in the Roofing Products segment and its primary customers are building materials distributors. One customer accounted for 13% and 11% of consolidated sales in fiscal years 1996 and 1995, respectively. No customer accounted for greater than 10% of consolidated sales in 1994. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and maintains reserves for potential credit losses. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognized at the time products are shipped to the customer or at the time services are rendered. 25 27 INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (including direct materials, labor, and applicable overhead) or market, using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Inventories were comprised of:
(In thousands) June 30, ---------------------------- 1996 1995 ---- ---- Raw Materials $ 5,632 $ 4,952 Work-In-Process 604 658 Finished Goods 20,512 6,091 -------- -------- $ 26,748 $ 11,701 ======== ========
If the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method had been used at June 30, 1996 and 1995, inventories would have been lower by $69,000 in fiscal 1996 and by $698,000 in fiscal 1995. The LIFO inventory adjustment was determined on an overall basis and, accordingly, each class of inventory reflects an allocation based on FIFO amounts. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets using the straight-line method. Useful lives for property and equipment are as follows: Buildings and improvements 10 - 40 years Machinery and equipment 5 - 20 years Computer equipment 3 - 6 years Office furniture and equipment 5 - 12 years
The cost and accumulated depreciation for property, plant and equipment sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of are relieved from the accounts, and resulting gains or losses are reflected in income. Preoperating and start-up costs incurred in connection with the construction of major new manufacturing facilities are capitalized until such facilities become operational. These costs are then amortized over a five-year period. Capitalized preoperating and start-up costs included in capital expenditures were $4,772,000, $3,864,000 and $1,639,000 in fiscal years 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. Interest is capitalized in connection with the construction of major facilities. The capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset to which it relates and is amortized over the asset's estimated useful life. In 1996 and 1995, $1,459,000 and $326,000 of interest cost was capitalized, respectively. No interest was capitalized in 1994. 26 28 EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per common and common equivalent share are based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding for the fiscal year. Common equivalent shares include incentive stock options and were calculated using the treasury stock method. INCOME TAXES Effective July 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" and reported the cumulative effect of that accounting change in fiscal 1994. Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." The Company recorded a provision of $1,037,000 to reduce the value of assets of Chromium Corporation's Cleveland plant and to provide for related environmental remediation in the Industrial Products segment relating to the new accounting standard. The Company had previously reduced the value of certain equipment in the Roofing Products segment by $558,000. The Company is required to implement Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" in fiscal 1997. The Company anticipates adopting only the disclosure provisions of this new accounting standard and this adoption will not have a material effect on the financial statements. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOWS The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Supplemental cash flow amounts were as follows:
(In thousands) June 30, ----------------------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 ---- ---- ---- Interest paid $1,739 $ 436 $ 193 Income taxes paid $1,105 $5,588 $7,130
In March 1994, the Company sold operating assets of a discontinued subsidiary in exchange for $5,378,000 of convertible preferred stock. In April 1995, the Company received cash proceeds in full from the redemption of this convertible preferred stock. 27 29 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS LONG-TERM DEBT Effective December 15, 1995 the Company increased its unsecured revolving credit facility (Facility) to $70,000,000 of primary credit, including up to a maximum of $5,000,000 in letters of credit, through October 31, 1998 with a provision for annual extensions upon approval of the lenders. At June 30, 1996, letters of credit totaling $2,008,450 were outstanding. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at (1) the higher of the federal funds rate plus .5% or the lender's prime rate, or (2) at the Company's option, LIBOR, in each case plus specified basis points based on the ratio of the Company's total indebtedness to total capital. The Facility also provides for a commitment fee on the average unused portion of the line and is also based on the ratio of the Company's total indebtedness to total capital. Based on financial ratios at June 30, 1996, the LIBOR borrowing rate was LIBOR plus .5% and the commitment fee was .25% of the average unused portion of the line. The loan agreement, among other things, limits the sale or pledging of assets of subsidiaries involved in manufacturing asphalt roofing products, and requires maintenance of specified current ratios, capitalization ratios and cash flow levels. Dividend payments and stock repurchases are limited to certain specified levels providing no default or event of default would occur. At June 30, 1996, total cumulative dividend payments and stock repurchased since July 1, 1993 could not have exceeded $22,105,000. Actual expenditures for these items as of June 30, 1996 have been $3,541,000. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Authorized common stock, par value $1.00, is 50,000,000 shares, of which 8,802,066 shares were issued at both June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995. The Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, without par value, in one or more series and to determine the rights, preferences, and restrictions applicable to each series. No preferred stock has been issued. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN On June 28, 1988, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution of one Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Right (the Rights) on each outstanding share of the Company's common stock as of July 8, 1988 and all outstanding shares of common stock issued thereafter, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Rights, which will expire on July 8, 1998, will have no voting power. Each Right will entitle the holder to buy one-hundredth of a share of a new series of nonvoting preferred stock at an exercise price of $50. On January 30, 1991, the Company's Board of Directors amended the Plan. As amended, if certain events occur, Rights "flip-in" and entitle holders to buy Elcor common stock at one-half market value or "flip-over" and entitle holders to buy common stock in an acquiring entity at one-half market value. This amendment reduces the threshold of beneficial ownership at which the Rights separate from the common stock and flip-in, provides an exchange option provision, and makes certain other modifications. The Rights will separate from the associated shares of common stock 28 30 and a flip-in event will now occur if a person acquires 15% or more of the common stock of Elcor. Prior to the amendment, the Rights did not separate from the common stock until a person acquired 20% or more of the common stock of Elcor and, absent the occurrence of other flip-in events, a flip-in event did not occur until a person acquired 30% or more of the common stock of Elcor. The exchange option provides that, at any time after any person becomes the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the common stock and prior to the acquisition by such person of 50% or more of the common stock, the Company's Board or Directors may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person) at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock per Right. On December 5, 1991 the Rights Plan was amended to increase the threshold of certain specified shareholders' permitted beneficial ownership from 15% to 20% of the outstanding shares of common stock before triggering the provisions of the plan. The certain specified shareholders affected by this amendment are limited to certain institutions holding stock for the benefit of third parties or in customer or fiduciary accounts in the ordinary course of business so long as such shares are acquired without the purpose or effect of changing or influencing control of the Company. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan provides for the granting of incentive and non-qualified stock options to directors, officers and key employees of the Company for purchase of the Company's common stock. Information relating to options is as follows:
Number Option Price of Shares Range per Share --------- --------------- Outstanding at June 30, 1994 301,076 $ 6.00 - $24.13 Granted 57,195 $ 17.25 - $19.88 Cancelled ( 4,886) $ 7.00 - $24.13 Exercised ( 35,546) $ 6.00 - $12.13 -------- Outstanding at June 30, 1995 317,839 $ 7.00 - $24.13 Granted 73,751 $ 21.50 - $22.38 Cancelled ( 6,910) $ 7.00 - $24.13 Exercised ( 43,900) $ 7.00 - $24.13 -------- Outstanding at June 30, 1996 340,780 $ 7.00 - $24.13 ========
At June 30, 1996, and 1995, 115,796 and 106,089 shares were exercisable, respectively. A total of 364,849 and 435,305 shares were reserved for future grants at June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) became effective January 1, 1981. Under the plan, the Company contributes a percentage of each participant's annual compensation into a trust, either as treasury stock contributions or cash, which is then used to purchase Elcor common stock. Employees vest 20% after three years of employment and 20% per year thereafter, with the stock distributed at retirement, death, disability, or as authorized by the Plan Administrative 29 31 Committee. Effective January 1, 1990, the Company established an Employee Savings Plan under Internal Revenue Code section 401(k). All employees, except those covered by plans established through collective bargaining, are eligible for participation. Under this Plan, the Company contributes a percentage of each participant's annual compensation into a Plan to be invested among various defined alternatives at the participants' direction. Vesting of Company contributions is in accordance with the same schedule as that of the ESOP. The Board of Directors has authorized total contributions of 4.6% of each participant's annual compensation, as defined, including forfeitures, split equally between the ESOP and 401(k) Plans. Total contributions charged to expense for these plans were $1,120,000, $839,000 and $973,000 in 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. The Company has a Stock/Loan Plan which allows certain key employees to borrow an amount based on a percentage of their salaries and the performance of their operating units, for the purpose of purchasing the Company's common stock. Under the Stock/Loan Plan, the loans, which are unsecured and noninterest-bearing, are forgiven and amortized as compensation over five years of continuing service with the Company. If employment is terminated for any reason except death, disability or retirement, the balance of the loan becomes due and payable. Loans outstanding at June 30, 1996 and 1995 totaling $1,174,000 and $1,315,000, respectively, are included in Other Assets. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company and its subsidiaries lease certain office space, facilities, and equipment under operating leases, expiring on various dates through 2001. Total rental expense was $1,167,000 in 1996, $1,117,000 in 1995, and $1,032,000 in 1994. At June 30, 1996, future minimum rental commitments under noncancellable operating leases, payable over the remaining lives of the leases are:

The Company provides certain warranties for its products which are generally limited to being free from defect in materials or workmanship or meeting agreed-upon manufacturing and material specifications. During 1996, 1995, and 1994, the Company recorded to expense approximately $1,637,000, $1,462,000 and $1,441,000, respectively, in warranty claim settlements and reserves. The Company has established reserves for estimated probable future claims in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies." 30 32 On February 8, 1994, a wholly owned subsidiary, Elk Corporation of Dallas ("Elk") was granted a design patent covering the ornamental aspects of its High Definition(R) and Raised Profile(TM) shingles. On December 6, 1994, Elk was granted a utility patent on the functional aspects of the High Definition(R) and Raised Profile(TM) shingles. Elk has sued GAF Building Materials Corporation and related GAF entities (collectively "GAF") in federal court for infringement of these patents. In the design patent case, Elk seeks to recover as damages the total profit that GAF has made from the infringing shingles. In the utility patent case, Elk seeks to recover as damages a reasonable royalty on GAF's sales of infringing shingles and certain lost profits. GAF seeks a declaratory judgment that the Elk patents are not infringed and are either invalid or unenforceable. GAF has also asserted claims for unfair competition, Lanham Act violations based on alleged false advertising, and common law fraud, generally praying for damages of not less than $25 million including actual and punitive damages, plus interest, costs, and reasonable attorney fees. Elk disputes GAF's claims, and management intends vigorously to defend them and to enforce its intellectual property rights. In mid-April 1996, a court-ordered mediation was held but did not result in resolution of the cases. No dates have been set for trial in the design patent case or the utility patent case, but trials are expected in the first half of calendar 1997. While management can give no assurances regarding the ultimate outcome of the litigation, outside counsel believe that Elk will prevail on its patent and trade dress claims and that Elk will defeat GAF's counterclaims. Even if the outcome were to be adverse to Elk, it is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or liquidity. The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in other legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on advice from legal counsel, management believes all of its litigation and claims will be resolved without material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements. On December 1, 1985, the Company became self-insured for its products and completed operations liability exposure because the cost of insurance for such risks was believed to be excessive for the coverage to be provided. Reserves for estimated potential losses of this type have been established. The Company's operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental matters. Although the Company does not believe it will be required to expend amounts which will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations by reason of environmental laws and regulations, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and could result in significantly increased cost of compliance. Further, certain of the Company's industrial products operations utilize hazardous materials in their production processes. As a result, the Company incurs costs for remediation activities at its facilities and off-site from time to time. The Company establishes and maintains reserves for such remediation activities, when appropriate, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies." 31 33 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On March 31, 1994, the Company completed the sale of substantially all operating assets of its solid waste baler manufacturing subsidiary. At June 30, 1996, the Company had assets from discontinued operations of $2,942,000, which primarily represents real property held for sale. At June 30, 1995, assets from discontinued operations totaled $7,175,000. These totals include nonoperating assets from previously discontinued operations. ACCRUED LIABILITIES Accrued liabilities consist of the following:

INCOME TAXES Effective July 1, 1993 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The cumulative effect of adopting this change in accounting for income taxes was an increase in earnings of $668,000 in fiscal 1994. The Company's effective tax rate was 37.6% in 1996, 37.5% in 1995 and 37.8% in 1994. The difference between the federal statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate is reconciled as follows:
