PART I
Item 1. 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
(collectively Elk), is engaged in the manufacture and sale of premium laminated
fiberglass asphalt shingles and accessory roofing products. Elk also
manufactures and sells coated and non-coated nonwoven performance fabrics.
Nonwoven fiberglass fabrics are used as a substrate for about 95% of asphalt
shingles, and nonwoven fabrics have other direct applications in building and
construction products, filtration, floor coverings and other industries.
Elk's premium laminated fiberglass asphalt shingle manufacturing plants
are located in (1) Tuscaloosa, Alabama, (2) Ennis, Texas, (3) Shafter,
California and (4) Myerstown, Pennsylvania. Limited production and facility
testing at the Myerstown, Pennsylvania plant began in December 2000. The testing
of the plant was completed in June 2001, at which time the plant was determined
to have met its performance test level of operations. The Myerstown,
Pennsylvania plant, which is housed in a 415,000 square foot building on a 125
acre plant site, is expected to increase Elk's total laminated shingle capacity
by approximately 38%, or about four million squares annually.
During fiscal 2001, the major products manufactured at Elk's roofing
plants were premium laminated fiberglass asphalt shingles sold under its brand
names: Prestique(R) Plus, Prestique I, Prestique II and Capstone(R). Each
Prestique product is manufactured with the patented Enhanced High Definition(R)
or Raised Profile(TM) look. In July 2001, Elk introduced a new product line, the
Prestique Gallery Collection(TM), whose colors are designed to reflect current
trends in home exteriors. Gallery Collection shingles have a 40-year limited
product warranty and up to a 110 miles per hour (mph) limited wind warranty.
Special high-wind application techniques are required for all of Elk's 110 mph
limited wind warranties.
In addition to the introduction of the Gallery Collection as part of
its "A Whole Different Animal(TM)" marketing program, Elk also upgraded its
Prestique and Capstone lines of premium laminated shingle products and improved
the warranties on these products. The Prestique line now includes four products:
(1) Prestique Plus 40 High Definition, whose limited wind warranty was increased
to 110 mph from 80 mph, (2) Prestique I 35 High Definition, whose limited
product warranty was increased to 35 years from 30 years and the limited wind
warranty increased to 80 mph from 70 mph, (3) a new Prestique 30 High Definition
having a 30 year limited product warranty and a 60 mph limited wind warranty,
and (4) Prestique 25 Raised Profile having a 25 year limited product warranty
and a 60 mph limited wind warranty. Elk also substantially upgraded the limited
product warranty on its Capstone shingle to 40 years from 30
1
4
years and increased the limited wind warranty to 110 mph from 80 mph. Elk also
extended the marketing area of its Capstone product to a national basis and will
begin offering Capstone with Formula FLX(TM), making it more flexible and easier
to use.
The new Prestique 30 High Definition product is a "mid-weight" shingle
targeted at the residential replacement market. The existing Prestique 25 Raised
Profile shingle is positioned for the builder segment, which Elk intends to
target more aggressively.
Elk also manufactures premium fiberglass asphalt hip and ridge
products: Seal-a-Ridge(R), Z(R) and RidgeCrest(TM) ridge brands.
Elk's roofing products are sold by employee sales personnel primarily
to roofing wholesale distributors, delivery being made by contract carrier or by
customer vehicles from the manufacturing plants or warehouses. Elk's products
are distributed nationwide with the Southwest, West and Southeast regions of the
United States representing the largest market areas. The opening of the new
Myerstown, Pennsylvania plant allows Elk to be more competitive in the Northeast
United States. The roofing products segment accounted for approximately 89% of
consolidated sales of the Registrant in fiscal 2001. Premium laminated asphalt
shingles, which represent Elk's target market, account for approximately 44% of
the residential sloped asphalt shingle roofing market. About 85% of all asphalt
shingles are used in reroofing and remodeling and 15% are used in new
construction. For the past several years, the building materials distribution
industry has consolidated at a rapid pace with many smaller independent
distributors being acquired by emerging larger national building products
distributors. One customer, ABC Supply Co., Inc., the largest roofing wholesale
distributor in the United States, accounted for 20% of Registrant's consolidated
sales in fiscal 2001, 17% of consolidated sales in fiscal 2000, and 18% of
consolidated sales in fiscal 1999.
Elk operates two nonwoven fiberglass fabric (or mat) lines that run in
parallel at its Ennis, Texas facility. Elk's nonwoven fiberglass roofing mat
facilities have the capacity to supply all of its internal fiberglass roofing
mat needs. However, certain Elk roofing plants may be supplied nonwoven
fiberglass roofing mats under exchange agreements with other manufacturers. Such
agreements benefit each party by reducing freight costs to the manufacturing
plants. In addition, roofing mats are sold by employee sales personnel to other
asphalt roofing products manufacturers. Nonwoven fabrics are also sold to
manufacturers of construction and industrial products who use such fabrics in
their products, and to distributors of industrial filtration products. Elk's
nonwoven fabrics are shipped by contract carrier to its other roofing plants and
to its customers' locations.
In July 2001, Elk appointed a dedicated senior management team for its
performance nonwoven fabrics business. The nonwoven and coated fabrics business
will continue to be a reporting division of the roofing products business
segment. However, increased management focus is intended to allow Elk to take
advantage of its nonwoven manufacturing capabilities by exploiting market
opportunities for nonwoven fiberglass mat outside its traditional roofing
market. This management change also allows Elk to more fully develop the
Versashield(R) family of proprietary coated nonwoven products in a number of
identified key markets. The patented technology of Versashield gives Elk the
ability to focus on market niches where flame resistance, thermal and acoustical
barriers, fabric chemical resistance and blended base fibers can
2
5
increase the value and performance characteristics of certain products. These
niches have direct application in building and construction products,
filtration, floor coverings and other industries. A semi-commercial pilot
manufacturing line is now supplying limited quantities of these products to
initiate market development sales.
Electronics Manufacturing Services
The electronics manufacturing services segment consists of the various
operating subsidiaries of Cybershield, Inc. (collectively Cybershield).
Cybershield accounted for 8% of consolidated sales in fiscal 2001.
Cybershield is a leading provider of shielding solutions to the digital
wireless telecommunications industry, serving both the handset and
infrastructure segments of the industry. Cybershield is also an important
supplier of shielding solutions to the computer, bar coding and medical
electronics industries. Cybershield's conductive coatings and gaskets reduce the
emission of electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) given off
by electronic devices to levels better than those required by the FCC, and
prevent the different chipsets within an electronic device from interfering with
each other. Cybershield also provides its customers with related value-added
services such as subassembly operations, decorative paint finishes, pad print,
design consultation and project management. Sales are generated by employee
sales personnel, with delivery made primarily by contract carrier.
In fiscal 2001, Cybershield obtained an exclusive license, in key
markets, to utilize a proprietary new process to metalize complex patterns of
electroless conductive metals with great precision on three-dimensional plastic
parts. This new technology is currently in the development stage but management
believes it has exciting potential applications in mobile telephone handsets and
in a variety of other widely used electronic devices that have not historically
utilized Cybershield's services.
For the past several years, Cybershield has invested in expanding the
manufacturing capacity at both its Lufkin, Texas and Canton, Georgia facilities.
In addition, Cybershield has made significant investments in automated
manufacturing equipment, including robotic manufacturing technologies, at both
manufacturing facilities. Although the current weakness in the
telecommunications markets served by Cybershield has not allowed it to benefit
from its investments in expanding manufacturing capacity, the Registrant expects
business to accelerate beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2002.
Accordingly, the physical expansion of facilities should provide Cybershield
with the capacity to pursue significant future growth opportunities.
As a result of decisions by some major manufacturers of digital
cellular handsets in fiscal 2001 to outsource much, if not all, handset
production to contract manufacturers, combined with the slowdown in demand
worldwide, the Registrant has shifted its international expansion focus to
evaluating opportunities in Asia rather than Europe. No specific international
expansion plans are currently pending.
Industrial Products
Chromium Corporation is the sole supplier of remanufactured, hard
chrome plated diesel engine cylinder liners and is a major supplier of tin
plated pistons to domestic locomotive
3
6
manufacturers. Chromium is also a leading remanufacturer of these and certain
other large diesel engine components for the railroad and marine industries.
During early fiscal 2001, Chromium completed the consolidation of its
manufacturing operations into its Cleveland, Ohio plant.
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 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. Moreover,
Ortloff offers significant expertise and other nonpatented technology associated
with its processes that is difficult for customers to obtain on a cost effective
basis from others. Ortloff has also been successful in expanding its markets
into several parts of Latin America.
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.
The Industrial Products segment accounted for 3% of consolidated sales
in fiscal 2001.
Information as to Industry Segments
For Financial Information by company segments, see the table on page 41
of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Accounting Change
In fiscal 1999, the Registrant adopted Statement of Position 98-5,
"Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities," issued by the Accounting
Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle is
reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
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 and nonwoven fiberglass
fabrics. Elk has been able to compete successfully with its competitors, some of
which are larger in size and have greater financial resources. Elk's target
market for asphalt shingles sales is the premium laminated segment. The
Registrant is the only major roofing manufacturer that entirely focuses on this
segment of the sloped roof market.
4
7
Accordingly, the Registrant believes this strategy provides it a competitive
advantage in developing and maintaining manufacturing efficiencies. The
Registrant believes that many of its competitors have elective manufacturing
capacity, allowing them to manufacture either commodity shingles or premium
laminated shingles. Such elective capacity can affect the supply/demand balance
in the premium laminated sector, which can influence prices Elk charges its
customers.
The Registrant believes that Elk is a "swing" supplier of nonwoven
fiberglass mat to other roofing manufacturers, generally utilized to supplement
the internal mat manufacturing capability of other roofing manufacturers.
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 receive for similar type
products.
Electronics Manufacturing Services
The Registrant believes that Cybershield is a leading provider of
shielding solutions to the digital wireless telecommunications industry, serving
both the handset and infrastructure segments of the industry. However, the
Registrant believes it has competitors, some of which may be larger in size and
have greater financial resources, serving specific portions of Cybershield's
markets. Cybershield's telecommunications customers include many of the largest
manufacturers of digital wireless phones and telephone infrastructure equipment
in North America. The Registrant competes primarily on the basis of the breadth
and quality of its product offering, design and service.
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. Chromium has achieved a leading position in these markets through
competition on the basis of product performance, quality, service and price. In
addition, technical innovations that enhance quality and performance are also
increasing the value-added content per unit produced.
The Registrant believes that it holds significant state-of-the-art
patents covering some of the most competitive processes for the cryogenic
processing of refinery and natural gas streams to remove the higher value
components, such as ethane and propane, which are primarily used as
petrochemical feedstocks. The Registrant further believes that Ortloff has
widely recognized expertise in the design and operation of facilities for
natural gas and refinery gas processing and sulfur recovery.

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. However, in fiscal 2001, the Registrant was adversely affected by
higher asphalt and glass fiber costs. Unfavorable industry supply/demand
conditions throughout most of fiscal 2001 restricted recovery of higher raw
material costs through increased shingle pricing.
Electronics Manufacturing Services
In the electroless shielding business, copper, nickel, paint and
gasketing materials are the significant raw materials. These materials are
presently available and in adequate supply.
Industrial Products
In the Registrant's business of hard chrome plating and remanufacturing
diesel engine 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.
No raw materials are utilized in the Registrant's engineering
consulting and technology licensing business.
Patents, Licenses, Franchises and Concessions
The Registrant or its subsidiaries hold 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.
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 hazardous wastes, and protection of the
public health and the environment generally (collectively, Environmental Laws).
Certain facilities of the Registrant's subsidiaries ship waste
6
9
products to various waste management facilities for treatment or disposal.
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 for damages
and/or to enforce compliance and to require remediation of contamination. If
there are releases or if these facilities do not operate in accordance with
Environmental Laws, or their owners or operators become financially unstable or
insolvent, the Registrant's subsidiaries are subject to potential liability.
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 certain offsite locations.
The Registrant anticipates that its subsidiaries will incur costs to
comply with Environmental Laws, including remediating any 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 to comply
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, 2001, the Registrant and its subsidiaries had 1,163
employees. Of this total, 790 were employed in the roofing products business
segment, 218 were employed in the electronics manufacturing services business
segment, 129 were employed in the industrial products business segment, and 39
were employed at the corporate office. The Registrant believes that it has good
relations with its employees.
Extended Payment Terms
The Registrant's roofing products business typically provides extended
payment terms to certain customers for some product shipments during the winter
and early spring months, with payment generally due during the summer months. As
of June 30, 2001, $2,854,000 in receivables relating to such shipments were
outstanding, all of which were due and collected in the first two months of
fiscal 2002.
7
10
Seasonal Business
The Registrant's electronics manufacturing services and industrial
products businesses are substantially nonseasonal. 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 some of its
marketing areas typically limit the installation of residential roofing products
which causes sales to be slower during such periods. Damage to roofs from
extreme weather such as severe wind, hurricanes and hail storms can result in
higher demand for periods up to eighteen to twenty-four 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.
Item 2. Properties
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 in
Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Ennis, Texas and Shafter, California. A fourth major
laminated shingle plant in Myerstown, Pennsylvania began limited production and
facility testing in the December 2000 quarter and testing of the facility was
completed in June 2001. Fiberglass roofing mat, nonwoven industrial,
reinforcement and filtration products are manufactured on two parallel
production lines located in Ennis, Texas.
Corporate headquarters and administrative offices for the asphalt
roofing products operations are located in the same leased facility as the
Registrant's corporate offices in Dallas, Texas.
Electronics Manufacturing Services
Electronics manufacturing services operating facilities are located in
Lufkin, Texas and Canton, Georgia. Corporate headquarters and most
administrative offices for the electronics manufacturing services operations are
located at the same leased facility as the Registrant's corporate offices in
Dallas, Texas. Some administrative offices are located at the plant facilities.
Industrial Products
In early fiscal 2001, consolidation of operations for the reciprocating
engine components was completed. The reciprocating engine components plant,
which primarily is involved in the hard chrome plating of original equipment and
remanufactured diesel engine cylinder liners and related equipment, is located
in Cleveland, Ohio.
Corporate headquarters and administrative offices are located at the
Cleveland, Ohio manufacturing facility. Some administrative offices are located
in the same leased facility as the Registrant's corporate offices in Dallas,
Texas.

The Ortloff engineering and process 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.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Purported Class Action Litigation
On February 25, 2000, Wedgewood Knolls Condominium Association filed a
purported class action against the company and Elk Corporation in the United
States District Court in Newark, New Jersey. The suit has been amended to name
only Elk Corporation of Texas and Elk Corporation of Alabama. The purported
nationwide class would include purchasers or current owners of buildings with
certain Elk asphalt shingles installed between January 1, 1980 and present. The
suit alleges, among other things, that the shingles were uniformly defective. It
seeks reformation of the limited warranty applicable to the shingles, and
unspecified damages of breach of implied and written warranties on behalf of the
plaintiff and the purported class.
On or about June 26, 2000, an individual homeowner filed a purported
class action, Lastih v. Elk Corporation of Alabama, which is pending in the
Judicial District of Hartford, Connecticut. The Lastih suit involves similar
class allegations and claims to those asserted in the Wedgewood Knolls suit
described above. Elk has denied the claims asserted in the Wedgewood Knolls and
Lastih actions, and is vigorously defending these suits.
In Wedgewood Knolls, Elk has opposed the motion for class
certification, denying that class certification is appropriate. A ruling is
pending on plaintiff's motion for class certification. The Registrant cannot
predict whether these actions will have a material adverse effect on its results
of operations, financial position or liquidity.
Other
There are various other lawsuits and claims pending against the
Registrant and its subsidiaries arising in the ordinary course of their
businesses. 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

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OPERATING SEGMENTS
The company is segregated into the following segments: Roofing
Products, Electronics Manufacturing Services and Industrial Products. The
Roofing Products Group consists of the various operating subsidiaries of Elk
Corporation of Dallas (collectively Elk). These companies manufacture and sell
premium laminated fiberglass asphalt residential and accessory roofing products,
together with coated and uncoated nonwoven mats used in manufacturing asphalt
roofing products and various industrial applications. Elk accounted for 89% of
consolidated sales in fiscal 2001.
The Electronics Manufacturing Services segment consists of the various
operating subsidiaries of Cybershield, Inc. (collectively Cybershield). These
companies are engaged in providing shielding solutions and related value-added
services to the digital wireless cellular handset, telecom infrastructure,
computer, bar coding and medical electronic industries. Cybershield accounted
for 8% of consolidated sales in fiscal 2001.
The Industrial Products Group is comprised of: (1) Chromium Corporation
(Chromium), which provides surface finishes and remanufactured diesel engine
cylinder liners and pistons for the railroad and marine industries; and (2)
Ortloff Engineers LTD (OEL), which provides technology licensing and consulting
services for the natural gas processing industry. The Industrial Products Group
companies accounted for 3% of consolidated sales in fiscal 2001.
FISCAL 2001 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2000
OVERALL PERFORMANCE
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, net income of $8,762,000
was 71% lower than $29,932,000 in fiscal 2000. Sales of $379,156,000 were 4%
lower in the current fiscal year compared to $395,198,000 in the prior year. The
Company's two largest business segments, Roofing Products and Electronics
Manufacturing Services, each recorded lower sales and much lower operating
income. The Industrial Products segment was able to achieve increased sales in
fiscal 2001 compared to fiscal 2000 and a significantly reduced operating loss.
Consolidated operating income of $17,354,000 in fiscal 2001 was 64% lower than
$48,059,000 in the prior fiscal year. As a percentage of sales, operating income
was 4.6% in fiscal 2001 compared to 12.2% in fiscal 2000. Selling, general and
administrative (SG&A) costs in fiscal 2001 were significantly higher than in the
prior fiscal year as a result of higher selling and marketing costs in the
Roofing Products segment, primarily relating to its new roofing manufacturing
plant and a new marketing campaign, together with higher depreciation at the
corporate office relating to its enterprise resource system. As a percentage of
sales, SG&A costs were 12.7% of sales in fiscal 2001 compared to 10.0% in the
prior year.
14
17
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, the company recorded a
$1,292,000 gain from involuntary conversion as a result of payments received on
a property insurance claim in excess of the net book value of destroyed assets.
Interest expense was $3,494,000 in fiscal 2001 compared to $1,355,000 in the
prior fiscal year as a result of, among other things, increased working capital
requirements and higher overall interest rates in fiscal 2001 compared to fiscal
2000. The company capitalized $5,337,000 of interest in the current year period
in connection with the construction of its new Myerstown, Pennsylvania shingle
plant and other major projects. In fiscal 2000, $2,708,000 in interest costs
were capitalized.
RESULTS OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Sales for the Roofing Products Group of $335,971,000 for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2001 were 4% lower than $350,319,000 in the prior fiscal
year. Lower sales were primarily the result of reduced shipments of nonwoven
fiberglass roofing mats. Demand for Elk's nonwoven fiberglass roofing mats,
which are primarily sold to other roofing manufacturers, was adversely affected
by weakened economic conditions that caused a decline in the total asphalt
shingle market this year. Because of weak economic conditions, the growth rate
for premium laminated shingles, which represents Elk's primary market, rose less
than 4% in the current year, compared to a 12% compounded annual growth rate for
the past five years. Harsh winter weather conditions in the Northern United
States and heavy winter and spring rains in many parts of the country
contributed to a decrease in demand for much of fiscal 2001 compared to the
record setting prior year. In addition, actions by competitors in the early part
of fiscal 2001 to increase their production of laminated shingles further
contributed to an excess supply of laminated shingles relative to demand,
thereby creating a weakened price environment. In the fourth quarter of fiscal
2001, the industry's year-over-year growth rate for premium laminated shingles
increased about 23%. Elk benefited from its decision to build inventories
throughout the winter and spring months in anticipation of potentially better
market conditions in the 2001 roofing season, which generally runs from March to
November in many of Elk's key market areas. The strong rebound in demand in the
final two months of fiscal 2001 allowed Elk to achieve slightly higher shipments
of premium laminated shingles for the entire current fiscal year compared to
fiscal 2000. Also, improving industry balance between supply and demand near the
end of fiscal 2001 allowed Elk to implement a small price increase effective in
July 2001.
Operating income for the Roofing Products Group in fiscal 2001 of
$25,539,000 was 52% lower than the record level of $53,024,000 in the prior
fiscal year. Reduced sales of nonwoven fiberglass roofing mats reduced
year-over-year operating income by approximately $5,000,000. Average selling
prices for laminated shingles were also slightly lower in the current year
compared to fiscal 2000. The company incurred approximately $8,000,000 higher
raw material costs, particularly asphalt and glass fiber costs. Higher energy
expenses and costs relating to the development of significant new products, many
of which will be introduced in fiscal 2002, further negatively impacted fiscal
2001 operating income compared to the prior fiscal year.
15
18
The new Myerstown roofing plant reduced operating profit by
approximately $7,000,000 in fiscal 2001. The Myerstown plant was also indirectly
responsible for increasing selling expenses by approximately $3,000,000 as the
company positioned itself to support higher shingle sales relating to this new
plant. Operating income in the prior year also included $3,478,000 of income
relating to the settlement of the company's business interruption claim
resulting from the fiscal 1999 nonwoven plant explosion.
Sales for the Electronics Manufacturing Services Group of $29,528,000
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 were 12% lower than $33,420,000 in
fiscal 2000. Operating income for the Electronics Manufacturing Services Group
of $1,392,000 in fiscal 2001 compared to $4,904,000 in fiscal 2000. The severe
downturn in the telecommunications industry during fiscal 2001 sharply reduced
demand for digital cell phone models and telecom infrastructure equipment.
Comparative year-to-year sales and operating results were also negatively
affected by actions by a significant customer in the latter part of fiscal 2000
to establish a second source for some of its cellular handset shielding
requirements. Decreased operating income is primarily attributable to reduced
sales, higher costs incurred for initial production ramp-ups on new digital
wireless handset products, and costs associated with workforce reductions as
orders for many products were severely curtailed or cancelled.
Sales for the Industrial Products Group increased 20% in fiscal 2001 to
$13,561,000 from $11,300,000 in the prior fiscal year. The operating loss for
the Industrial Products Group for fiscal 2001 was $735,000 compared to
$4,653,000 last year. The current year included an operating loss for July 2000
resulting principally from the consolidation of manufacturing operations and
initial production of products new to Chromium's Cleveland, Ohio plant.
Excluding the results of July 2000, Chromium has generated an operating profit
for each month of fiscal 2001. Operating losses included about $750,000 in
fiscal 2001 and $3,400,000 in fiscal 2000 of nonrecurring items relating to the
consolidation of Chromium's manufacturing operations. Revenues and operating
results for OEL's patent licensing and engineering consulting services were
lower in fiscal 2001 compared to the prior fiscal year.
FISCAL 2000 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1999
OVERALL PERFORMANCE
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, net income before the
fiscal 1999 cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle increased 18%
to $29,932,000 from $25,283,000 in fiscal 1999. Sales increased 10% to
$395,198,000 in fiscal year 2000 compared to $358,596,000 in the prior year. The
Company's largest business segment, Roofing Products, registered a strong year
with overall higher sales and operating income. This improved financial
performance, together with increasing demand for products used in digital
wireless cellular phones offered by the Electronics Manufacturing Services
segment, led to the overall increases in consolidated sales and income. The
growth in these two business segments was partially offset by disappointing
operating results in the Industrial Products segment. Overall, operating income
increased 16% to $48,059,000 in fiscal 2000 from $41,505,000 in the prior fiscal
year. As a percentage of sales, operating income was 12.2% in fiscal 2000
compared to 11.6% in fiscal 1999. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)
costs in fiscal 2000 were nearly equal to that in the prior fiscal year.
However, as a percentage of sales, SG&A costs were only 10.0% of sales in fiscal
2000 compared to 11.1% in the prior year.
16
19
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, the company recorded a
$1,292,000 gain from involuntary conversion as a result of payments received on
a property insurance claim in excess of the net book value of destroyed assets.
Interest expense was $1,355,000 in fiscal 2000 compared to $2,059,000 in the
prior fiscal year as the company capitalized $2,708,000 of interest in fiscal
2000 in connection with the construction of its new Myerstown, Pennsylvania
shingle plant and other major projects. In fiscal 1999, $595,000 in interest
costs were capitalized.
RESULTS OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Sales for the Roofing Products Group increased 10% to $350,319,000 for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 compared to $319,640,000 in the prior fiscal
year. Demand for and shipments of premium laminated fiberglass asphalt shingles
were at record levels in the first nine months of fiscal 2000 even with
shipments of these products being held down by lower laminated shingle
inventories. The inventory shortage was partially due to manufacturing
inefficiencies related to Elk's use of alternative sources of nonwoven
fiberglass mat in its manufacturing process as a result of an explosion in
fiscal 1999 at Elk's nonwoven fiberglass mat plant in Ennis, Texas. In addition,
shipments resulting from large orders from customers in March 2000 made in
anticipation of announced price increases substantially decreased shipments of
laminated shingle shipments in the early part of the fourth quarter of fiscal
2000.
Despite the inventory shortage early in the year and the decrease in
shipments for a portion of the fourth quarter, in fiscal 2000 Elk still achieved
a small increase in shipments of premium laminated fiberglass asphalt shingles
compared to fiscal 1999. Average selling prices were slightly higher in fiscal
2000 than in fiscal 1999. Elk also registered increased sales for nonwoven mats
used in manufacturing asphalt roofing products and various industrial
applications.
Operating income for the Roofing Products Group increased 18% in fiscal
2000 to $53,024,000 from $45,061,000 in the prior fiscal year. Together with
increased sales, Elk achieved higher production, which lowered per unit
manufacturing costs. In the second half of fiscal 2000, operating income was
adversely affected by rapidly escalating asphalt and glass fiber costs. Elk
implemented price increases on March 27, 2000 and May 1, 2000 as a result of
these higher raw material costs. However, higher selling prices subsequent to
these price increases did not fully offset the substantial increases in raw
material costs. Further, competitive pressures limited Elk's ability to
implement further price increases. Operating income for fiscal 2000 also
included $3,478,000 of income relating to settlement of the company's business
interruption claim caused by the fiscal 1999 plant explosion.
Sales for the Electronics Manufacturing Services Group increased 49% to
$33,420,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 compared to $22,367,000 in
fiscal 1999. Operating income for the Electronics Manufacturing Services Group
increased 45% to $4,904,000 in fiscal 2000 from $3,384,000 in fiscal 1999. The
increases in sales and operating income reflect increased demand for
Cybershield's advanced shielding products and related services for the digital
wireless cellular phone industry. Fiscal 2000 results included a full year of
operations for Cybershield's Canton, Georgia operation, which was acquired in
January 1999.
17
20
Cybershield's sales and operating income in the latter part of fiscal
2000 were held down by actions of a significant customer to establish a second
production source for a portion of its cellular handset shielding requirements,
and delays in the production launch by another key customer of a new cellular
handset which contains significant Cybershield value-added content. These
actions had a further negative affect on Cybershield's operating margins as
staffing had been increased to accommodate the production volumes which were
changed or delayed.
Sales for the Industrial Products Group decreased 31% in fiscal 2000 to
$11,300,000 from $16,449,000 in the prior fiscal year. The operating loss for
the Industrial Products Group for fiscal 2000 was $4,653,000 compared to an
operating profit of $182,000 in fiscal 1999.
In fiscal 2000, Chromium Corporation's sales decreased 32% compared to
the prior year as a result of the relocation of manufacturing facilities for
remanufactured diesel engine components used in the railroad and marine
transportation industries and the impact of the consolidation of its
manufacturing operations. Chromium was unable to fulfill demand for its
remanufactured diesel engine components used in the railroad and marine
transportation industries during the period when its facilities were being
consolidated. Primarily as a result of about $3,400,000 nonrecurring expenses
relating to the consolidation of its manufacturing operations, Chromium recorded
a significant operating loss in fiscal 2000 compared to a small operating profit
achieved in the same period in fiscal 1999. Revenues and operating results for
OEL's patent licensing and engineering consulting services were also lower in
fiscal 2000 compared to the prior fiscal year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flows from operating activities are generally the result of net
income, deferred taxes, depreciation and amortization, and changes in working
capital. In fiscal 2001, cash flows from operating activities were $10,406,000
compared to $45,020,000 in fiscal 2000 and $23,391,000 in fiscal 1999. The
decrease in fiscal 2001 was primarily the result of lower net income and higher
working capital needs. Working capital increased by $13,008,000, primarily due
to higher inventories. Higher inventories of premium laminated fiberglass
shingles and nonwoven fiberglass roofing mats reflect increases in both units
and cost per unit, as well as building a base level of inventory at the new
Myerstown, Pennsylvania roofing plant. Inventories were increased throughout the
winter and spring months of fiscal 2001 so as to enter the roofing season with
ample roofing inventories in order to take advantage of a potential rebound in
the roofing market. Inventories were sharply reduced in latter part of fiscal
2001 as a result of very strong demand and a monthly record for shipments of the
company's premium laminated fiberglass shingles in June 2001. Inventory levels
are expected to continue to decline throughout the summer and fall roofing
season as a result of anticipated strong demand for the company's roofing
products for the remainder of the 2001 roofing season.
Trade receivables at June 30, 2001 increased by $1,948,000 compared to
June 30, 2000 as a result of much higher sales volumes in the latter part of
fiscal 2001 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. However, the
increase from higher sales was partially offset by lower deferred receivables.
At June 30, 2001, deferred term receivables from promotional programs to certain
customers were $2,854,000 compared to $8,369,000 at June 30, 2000. Deferred
receivables outstanding at June 30, 2001 were collected during the first two
months of fiscal 2002.
18
21
Higher other current assets primarily reflect a federal income tax
receivable from an overpayment of estimated taxes. Much of this tax receivable
was received as a refund in July 2001. Lower cash balances reflect improved cash
management strategies and initiatives.
The current ratio was 2.9 to 1 at June 30, 2001 compared to 2.6 to 1 at
June 30, 2000. Historically, working capital requirements fluctuate during the
year because of seasonality in some market areas. Generally, working capital
requirements and related borrowings are higher in the spring and summer months,
and lower in the fall and winter months.
Cash flows from investing activities primarily reflect the company's
capital expenditure strategy. Net cash used for investing activities was
$38,416,000 in fiscal 2001, $67,525,000 in fiscal 2000 and $29,797,000 in fiscal
1999. These amounts reflect the company's significant expansion plan in recent
years. Most expenditures were for additions to property, plant and equipment.
About $25,740,000 of capital expenditures in fiscal 2001 related to completion
of the Myerstown, Pennsylvania premium laminated fiberglass asphalt shingle
plant. Limited production at this facility began in the December 2000 quarter.
The testing of the plant was completed in June 2001 and the plant is fully
operational. The Myerstown plant increases the company's overall laminated
shingle capacity by about 38%. Over the next several years, the company's
capital expenditures will primarily relate to improving productivity at existing
plants and extending production capacity for new products. Capital expenditures
in fiscal 2002 are currently planned to be about $13,000,000. Depreciation in
fiscal 2002 is expected to increase to approximately $19,000,000, with most of
the increase relating to depreciation of the Myerstown plant.
Cash flows from financing activities generally reflect changes in the
company's borrowings during the year, offset by dividends paid on common stock,
treasury stock transactions and exercises of stock options. Net cash provided by
financing activities was $23,436,000 in fiscal 2001, $23,021,000 in fiscal 2000,
and $5,352,000 in fiscal 1999. The fiscal 2001 amount includes a $32,000,000
increase in long-term debt. Long-term debt represented 43% of the $285,402,000
of invested capital (long-term debt plus shareholders' equity) at June 30, 2001.
In September 1998, the company's Board of Directors authorized the
purchase of up to $10,000,000 of common stock from time to time on the open
market to be used for general corporate purposes. On August 28, 2000, the Board
of Directors authorized the aggregate purchase of up to an additional
$10,000,000 of common stock. As of June 30, 2001, 600,590 shares with a
cumulative cost of $9,366,000 had been repurchased from time to time under these
authorizations.
On November 30, 2000, the company increased its revolving credit
facility from $125,000,000 to $175,000,000 and extended the facility to November
30, 2005. Management believes that current cash and cash equivalents, projected
cash flows from operations, combined with its existing revolving credit facility
should be sufficient during fiscal 2002 and beyond to fund its planned capital
expenditures, working capital needs, dividends, stock repurchases and other cash
requirements.
19
22
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 and electronics manufacturing services operations utilize hazardous
materials in their production processes. As a result, the company incurs costs
for remediation activities off-site and at its facilities from time to time. The
company establishes and maintains reserves for such remediation activities, when
appropriate. Current reserves established for known or probable remediation
activities are not material to the company's financial position or results of
operations.
MARKET AND CREDIT RISK
The company is subject to market risk from changes in interest rates on
its outstanding debt, which has a variable interest rate. Based on the company's
outstanding debt at June 30, 2001, the company's interest costs would increase
or decrease $1,233,000 for each theoretical 1% increase or decrease in the
company's borrowing rates. The company's exposure to market risk from changes in
foreign currency risk is not material. The company has not entered into any
significant derivative instruments or hedging activities, although the company
reviews the potential benefits of interest rate swap arrangements and other
hedging activities and may enter into derivative instruments from time to time
in the future.
The company is subject to credit risks applicable to cash and cash
equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at
financial institutions with high credit quality. Concentrations of credit risk
with respect to accounts receivable primarily relate to the large building
material distributors that are the company's primary customers. The company's
largest customer accounted for 20% of consolidated sales in fiscal 2001 and 17%
in fiscal 2000. The company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
customers' financial condition to determine the need for an allowance for
doubtful accounts. The company has not experienced significant credit losses for
many years. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is
limited to those customers to whom the company makes significant sales.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets." The company is required to adopt this new standard at the
beginning of fiscal 2003, although early adoption is permitted at the beginning
of fiscal 2002. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, recorded goodwill is
not amortized. Adoption of the standard also includes transitional impairment
testing of previously recorded goodwill. At June 30, 2001, unamortized goodwill
of $837,000 was applicable to the Electronics Manufacturing Services segment.
The company is not anticipating early adoption of this new standard and has not
determined if impairment of goodwill will be required at the date of adoption.
The FASB also recently issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and
SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." Neither of these
standards is expected to have a material impact on the company's financial
position or operating results.
20
23
INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
The company's primary financial statements are prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States based on
historical dollars. Accordingly, the financial statements do not portray the
effects of inflation. In recent years, inflation in the company's key markets
has been moderate. Cost controls and improving productivity generally minimize
the impact of inflation.
The costs of manufacturing, transportation and key raw materials,
including but not limited to ceramic-coated granules, asphalt, glass fibers,
resins and mineral filler, together with the company's ability to pass along
higher costs are generally influenced by factors other than inflation. These
factors include general economic and industry conditions, supply and demand,
surpluses and shortages, and actions of key competitors.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In an effort to give investors a well-rounded view of the Registrant's
current condition and future opportunities, management's discussion and analysis
of the results of operations and financial condition and other sections of this
annual report contain "forward-looking statements" that involve risks and
uncertainties about its prospects for the future. The statements that are not
historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements usually are
accompanied by words such as "believe," "estimate," "project," "expect,"
"anticipate," "predict," "outlook," "plan," "potential," "could," "should,"
"may," or similar words that convey the uncertainty of future events or
outcomes. These statements are based on judgments the Registrant believes are
reasonable; however, the Registrant's actual results could differ materially
from those discussed here. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to the following:
1. The Registrant's roofing products business is substantially
non-cyclical, but can be affected by weather, 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. Further, changes in building
and insurance codes and other standards from time to time can
cause changes in demand, or increases in costs that may not be
passed through to customers.
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 energy, trucking
and rail costs. Historically, the company has been able to
pass some of the higher raw material, energy and
transportation costs through to the customer. Should the
Registrant be unable to recover higher raw material, energy
and/or transportation costs from price increases of its
products, operating results could be adversely affected and/or
lower than projected.
21
24
3. The Registrant has been involved in a significant expansion
plan over the past several years, including the construction
of new facilities. Progress in achieving anticipated operating
efficiencies and financial results is difficult to predict for
new plant facilities. If such progress is slower than
anticipated, or if demand for products produced at new plants
does not meet current expectations, operating results could be
adversely affected.
4. Certain facilities of the Registrant's electronics
manufacturing services and industrial products subsidiaries
must utilize hazardous materials in their production process.
As a result, the Registrant 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 Registrant's litigation, including Elk's defense of
purported class action lawsuits, is subject to inherent and
case-specific uncertainty. The outcome of such litigation
depends on numerous interrelated factors, many of which cannot
be predicted.
6. Although the Registrant currently anticipates that most of its
needs for new capital in the near future will be met with
internally generated funds or borrowings under its available
credit facilities, significant increases in interest rates
could substantially affect its borrowing costs under its
existing loan facility, or its cost of alternative sources of
capital.
7. Each of the Registrant's businesses, especially Cybershield's
shielding business, is subject to the risks of technological
changes that could affect the demand for or the relative cost
of the company's products and services, or the method and
profitability of the method of distribution or delivery of
such products and services. In addition, the Registrant's
businesses each could suffer significant setbacks in revenues
and operating income if it lost one or more of its largest
customers, or if its customers' plans and/or markets should
change significantly.
8. Although the Registrant insures itself against physical loss
to its manufacturing facilities, including business
interruption losses, natural or other disasters and accidents,
including but not limited to fire, earthquake, damaging winds,
explosions or acts of war, operating results could be
adversely affected if any of its manufacturing facilities
became inoperable for an extended period of time due to such
events.
9. Each of the Registrant's businesses is actively involved in
the development of new products, processes and services which
are expected to contribute to the Registrant's ongoing
long-term growth and earnings. If such development activities
are not successful, market demand is less than expected, or
the Registrant cannot provide the requisite financial and
other resources to successfully commercialize such
developments, the growth of future sales and earnings may be
adversely affected.
Parties are cautioned not to rely on any such forward-looking beliefs
or judgments in making investment decisions.
22
25
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Registrant is subject to market risk from changes in interest rates
on its outstanding debt, which has a variable interest rate. Based on the
Registrant's outstanding debt at June 30, 2001, the Registrant's interest costs
would increase or decrease $1,233,000 for each theoretical 1% increase or
decrease in the Registrant's borrowing rates. The Registrant's exposure to
market risk from changes in foreign currency risk is not material. The
Registrant has not entered into any significant derivative instruments or
hedging activities, although the Registrant reviews the potential benefits of
interest rate swap arrangements and other hedging activities and may enter into
derivative instruments from time to time in the future.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors,
Elcor Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Elcor
Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2001 and
2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30,
2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Elcor Corporation
and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
June 30, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Elcor Corporation (the company), through subsidiaries, is engaged in
the following lines of business: Roofing Products, Electronics Manufacturing
Services, and Industrial Products. The Roofing Products segment, which accounts
for 89% of consolidated sales, manufactures and sells premium laminated
fiberglass asphalt residential shingles and accessory roofing products, together
with coated and uncoated nonwoven mats used in manufacturing asphalt roofing
products and various industrial applications. The Electronics Manufacturing
Services segment, which accounts for 8% of consolidated sales, is engaged in
providing shielding solutions and related value-added services to the digital
wireless cellular handset, telecom infrastructure, computer, bar coding and
medical electronics industries. The Industrial Products companies, which account
for 3% of consolidated sales, are engaged in (1) providing surface finishes and
remanufactured diesel engine cylinder liners and pistons for the railroad and
marine industries and, (2) engineering consulting services and licensing of
patented technologies for the cryogenic processing of natural gas and refinery
gas and sulfur recovery processes for the petroleum industry.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
company and all subsidiaries after elimination of significant intercompany
balances and transactions. Certain reclassifications in the financial statements
and footnotes were made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year
presentation.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements, as well as 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. For the past
several years, the building materials distribution industry has consolidated at
a rapid pace with many smaller independent distributors being acquired by
emerging larger national building products distributors. The company performs
ongoing credit evaluations and maintains reserves for potential credit losses.
One customer accounted for 20%, 17% and 18% of consolidated sales in fiscal
years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
29
32
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized at the time products are shipped to the customer
or at the time services are rendered. The Securities and Exchange Commission
issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition" in
December 1999. The company adopted this new accounting guidance in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2001. No changes were made to revenue recognition policies in
the Roofing Products or Electronics Manufacturing Services segments. Minor
adjustments to revenue recognition policies were made in the Industrial Products
segment relating to revenue recognition for licensing fees. These changes were
not material to historical results nor are they expected to have a material
impact on future operating results.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (including direct
materials, labor, and applicable overhead) or market, using the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories were comprised of:
(In thousands)

Work-In-Process 411 259
Finished Goods 39,783 29,249
------------ ------------
$ 51,016 $ 40,965
============ ============
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. Interest is capitalized in
connection with the construction of major projects. 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 2001, 2000 and 1999, $5,337,000, $2,708,000
and $595,000 of interest cost was capitalized, respectively.
30
33
OTHER ASSETS
Included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet is the
excess of cost over the fair value of net assets (or goodwill) of an acquired
company. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years.
Unamortized goodwill at June 30, 2001 and 2000, was $837,000 and $880,000,
respectively.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The company assesses long-lived assets for impairment under Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." The carrying amount of long-lived assets,
including goodwill, is reviewed if facts and circumstances suggest that it may
be impaired. If this review indicates that long-lived assets will not be
recoverable, as determined based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows of the
long-lived assets over the remaining amortization period, the carrying amount of
the long-lived assets is reduced by the estimated shortfall of cash flows.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," requires disclosure of
all components of comprehensive income on an annual and interim basis.
Comprehensive income is the same as reported net income for all periods
presented.
INCOME TAXES
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.
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:

ACCOUNTING CHANGES
In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee (AcSec) of
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of
Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities," requiring, among
other things, companies to expense on a current basis previously capitalized
start-up costs. The company adopted this Statement of Position in fiscal 1999,
which resulted in a $4,340,000 charge, net of tax, and is reported as a
cumulative effect of change in accounting principle on the Consolidated
Statement of Operations.
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and
Handling Fees and Costs," recommends, among other things, that shipping and
handling costs be recorded as costs of sale. In conformity with this
pronouncement, the company reclassified freight costs for all reporting periods
to cost of goods sold. Previously, freight costs had been classified as a
reduction of sales.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, an amendment to SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The company
has entered into no significant derivative instruments or hedging activities,
although the company regularly reviews the potential benefits of interest rate
swaps and other potential hedging arrangements and may enter into derivative or
hedging instruments from time to time in the future.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount of the company's cash, cash equivalents, trade
receivables, accounts payable and long-term debt approximate fair value.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets." The company is required to adopt this new standard at the
beginning of fiscal 2003, although early adoption is permitted at the beginning
of fiscal 2002. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, recorded goodwill is
not amortized. Adoption of the standard also includes transitional impairment
testing of previously recorded goodwill. At June 30, 2001, unamortized goodwill
of $837,000 was applicable to the Electronics Manufacturing Services segment.
The company does not anticipate early adoption of this new standard and has not
determined if impairment of goodwill will be required at the date of adoption.
The FASB also recently issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and
SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." Neither of these
standards is expected to have a material impact on the company's financial
position or operating results.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share were computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.
The reconciliation of basic earnings per share to diluted earnings per share is
shown in the following table:

Diluted earnings per share $ .45 $ 1.49 $ 1.05

LONG-TERM DEBT
On November 30, 2000, the company increased its revolving credit
facility (the Facility) from $125,000,000 to $175,000,000 of primary credit,
including up to a maximum of $10,000,000 in letters of credit and extended its
term through November 30, 2005. At June 30, 2001, letters of credit totaling
$2,584,000 were outstanding. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at (1)
the lender's prime rate, or (2) at the company's option, a Eurodollar rate, in
each case plus specified basis points based on the company's leverage ratio, as
defined, at each quarter end. The Facility also provides for a commitment fee on
the average unused portion of the line. The commitment fee rate is also
determined by the company's leverage ratio. Based on the leverage ratio at June
30, 2001, the prime borrowing rate was prime plus .625%, the Eurodollar
borrowing rate was LIBOR plus 2.5% and the commitment fee was .5% of the average
unused portion of the line. The average interest rate paid on indebtedness in
fiscal 2001 was 7.25%. The Facility requires the company to pledge as collateral
certain trade receivables and inventories if the company's leverage ratio
exceeds certain thresholds. At June 30, 2001, the company's leverage ratio
exceeded the applicable thresholds.
33
36
The Facility requires that the company maintain a specified minimum
consolidated net worth, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum
capitalization ratio, all based on defined terms. At June 30, 2001, the company
was in compliance with these requirements. Dividend payments and stock
repurchases are limited to certain specified levels. At June 30, 2001, total
cumulative dividend payments and stock repurchased since November 30, 2000 were
subject to a $18,259,000 limitation. Actual expenditures for these items as of
June 30, 2001 have been $3,261,000.
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Authorized common stock, par value $1.00, is 100,000,000 shares, of
which 19,988,074 shares were issued at June 30, 2001. 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 May 26, 1998, the company's Board of Directors adopted a new
Shareholder Rights Plan which took effect when the existing rights plan expired
on July 8, 1998. Under the new plan, rights were constructively distributed as a
dividend at the rate of one right for each share of common stock of the company
held by the shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 8, 1998.
Until the occurrence of certain events, the rights are represented by and trade
in tandem with common stock. Each right will separate and entitle shareholders
to buy stock upon an occurrence of certain takeover or stock accumulation
events. Should any person or group (Related Person) acquire beneficial ownership
of 15% or more of the company's common stock other than certain bona fide
institutional investors to whom a 20% threshold applies, all rights not held by
the Related Person become rights to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of
preferred stock for $110 or $110 of Elcor common stock at a 50% discount. If
after such an event the company merges, consolidates or engages in a similar
transaction in which it does not survive, each holder has a "flip over" right to
buy discounted stock in the surviving entity.
Under certain circumstances, the rights are redeemable at a price of
$0.01 per right. Further, upon defined stock accumulation events, the Board of
Directors has the option to exchange one share of common stock per right. The
rights will expire by their terms on July 8, 2008.

At June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, 508,857, 339,239, and 354,570 shares
were exercisable, respectively. A total of 974,129, 1,462,150, and 1,907,003
shares were reserved for future grants at June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
Beginning in fiscal 1997, the company adopted the disclosure-only
provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized with respect to the
company's stock option plan. Pro forma information regarding net income and
income per share set forth below has been determined as if the company had
accounted for its stock options under the fair value methodology prescribed by
SFAS No. 123. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with
35
38
the following weighted-average assumptions for fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999;
dividend yields of 1.1%, 0.7%, and 1.1%; risk-free interest rates of 6.2%, 6.3%,
and 4.6%; expected market price volatility of .432, .421, and .416; and expected
lives of options of 9.0, 9.0, and 8.9 years. Based on this model, the weighted
average fair value of stock options granted in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 was
$10.42, $15.67 and $8.72, 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 one year of employment and 20% per year thereafter,
with the stock distributed at retirement, death, disability, or as authorized by
the Plan Administrative Committee. Effective January 1, 1990, the company
established an Employee Savings Plan under Internal Revenue Code section 401(k).
Under the 401(k) Plan, the company contributes a percentage of each
participant's annual compensation into the 401(k) 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. All
full-time employees, except those covered by plans established through
collective bargaining, are eligible for participation in the above plans after
meeting minimum service requirements.
The Board of Directors has authorized total contributions of 5.0%,
including forfeitures, of each participant's annual compensation, as defined,
split equally between the ESOP and 401(k) Plans. In addition, the company
contributes an additional $.50 for every $1.00 of employee contributions into
the 401(k) Plan limited to a maximum matching of 2% of an employee's
compensation. Total contributions charged to expense for these plans were
$2,558,000, $2,466,000 and $2,123,000, in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Under the company's Stock/Loan Plan, certain key employees have been
granted loans, 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, a ratable portion of the loans, which are unsecured,
and any accrued interest are forgiven and recognized as compensation expense
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, 2001 and 2000
totaling $1,551,000 and $1,830,700, respectively, are included in other assets.
In fiscal 2002, the Stock/Loan Plan is expected to be replaced by a restricted
stock plan and no additional loans will be granted. Previously granted loans
will be repaid or forgiven in accordance with the plan terms.

The company's subsidiaries provide certain warranties for their
products which are generally limited to being free from defects in materials or
manufacturing workmanship affecting performance or meeting specified
manufacturing and material specifications. During 2001, 2000 and 1999, the
company recorded to expense $1,680,000, $1,773,000 and $2,334,000, respectively,
in warranty claim settlements and reserves.
On February 25, 2000, Wedgewood Knolls Condominium Association filed a
purported class action against the company and Elk Corporation in the United
States District Court in Newark, New Jersey. The suit has been amended to name
only Elk Corporation of Texas and Elk Corporation of Alabama. The purported
nationwide class would include purchasers or current owners of buildings with
certain Elk asphalt shingles installed between January 1, 1980 and present. The
suit alleges, among other things, that the shingles were uniformly defective. It
seeks reformation of the limited warranty applicable to the shingles, and
unspecified damages for breach of implied and written warranties on behalf of
the plaintiff and the purported class.
On or about June 26, 2000, an individual homeowner filed a purported
class action, Lastih v. Elk Corporation of Alabama, which is pending in the
Judicial District of Hartford, Connecticut. The Lastih suit involves similar
class allegations and claims to those asserted in the Wedgewood Knolls suit
described above. Elk has denied the claims asserted in the Wedgewood Knolls and
Lastih actions, and is vigorously defending these suits.
In Wedgewood Knolls, Elk has opposed the motion for class
certification, denying that class certification is appropriate. A ruling is
pending on plaintiff's motion for class certification. The company cannot
predict whether these actions will have a material adverse effect on its results
of operations, financial position or liquidity.

40
The company and its subsidiaries are involved in other legal actions
and claims, including claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Based
on advice from legal counsel, management believes such litigation and claims
will be resolved without material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
statements.
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 and electronics manufacturing services 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 known remediation
activities.
INVOLUNTARY CONVERSION
On September 15, 1998, the company experienced an explosion at its
nonwoven fiberglass roofing mat plant in Ennis, Texas. The explosion
significantly damaged a drying oven and caused less extensive damage to the
remainder of the mat manufacturing line. There was no damage to a separate mat
line that runs in parallel to the damaged line, nor was there any damage to the
company's Ennis, Texas shingle manufacturing plant. There were no injuries from
the explosion. The damaged line was restored to partial operation in December
1998. By March 1999, the damaged section had been replaced. By June 1999, the
line had resumed operating at line speeds equivalent to line speeds at the time
of the explosion.
The company submitted claims totaling $17,492,000 for property damage
and business interruption. In February 2000 the company reached final settlement
with its insurance company. In total, the company received insurance proceeds of
$17,017,000 on the claim. Assets with net book value of $3,990,000 were
destroyed in the explosion and were insured for replacement value. Overall, the
company received replacement value payments on the property claim in excess of
the net book value of destroyed assets in the amount of $1,292,000. This amount
was recorded as a gain from involuntary conversion in fiscal 2000.
ACQUISITION AND CONSOLIDATION
On January 11, 1999, a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the
company purchased all of the outstanding shares of YDK America, Inc., a leading
supplier to the computer industry of electronic plastic enclosures and
components having electroless conductive coatings. The total purchase price was
$5,588,000, net of cash acquired, which was financed through borrowings under
Elcor's revolving credit agreement. The purchase price exceeded the fair value
of net tangible assets acquired by $926,000, which was recorded as goodwill. The
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and the
operating results have been included in the company's consolidated financial
statements since the date of acquisition.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, management approved a
consolidation plan for Chromium Corporation's reciprocating engine components
business. In fiscal 2000, all operations for this business activity at the
Lufkin, Texas facility were transferred to the Cleveland, Ohio plant. Costs to
relocate equipment and other consolidation items of approximately $750,000 and
$3,400,000 were incurred and recorded to expense in fiscal 2001 and 2000,
respectively. In fiscal 1999 the company recorded a pretax charge of $375,000 in
severance benefits for 64 employees who were not transferred.
