These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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 net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of investments held at year end as of December 31, 1993, and reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 1993, are presented for purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ Hill, Taylor & Co.

USG CORPORATION INVESTMENT PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND 1992 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN The USG Corporation Investment Plan, also known as the USG Corporation Investment Plan for Salaried Employees prior to January 1, 1989 ("The Plan"), was approved by the stockholders of the Corporation on May 11, 1977, and became effective on July 1, 1977. On January 2, 1989, the Plan was amended and completely restated effective as of January 1, 1989 ("restated Plan"). The amendment and restatement incorporates all prior amendments to the Plan and makes changes to reflect the merger of the USG Corporation Savings Plan for Hourly Employees effective January 1, 1989, and to change the name of the Plan to the USG Corporation Investment Plan. The Plan was established to provide a means for eligible hourly and salaried employees to participate in the earnings of the Corporation, to build a supplemental retirement fund and to provide additional disability and death benefits. The Plan provides, among other things, that participants may contribute up to 9% of their annual compensation to the Plan during the year effective January 1, 1989, 15% from October 1, 1985 to December 31, 1988 and 12% prior to October 15, 1985. The amount of distributions to be made upon withdrawal from the Plan is dependent upon the participant's and the Corporation's contributions. The Plan requires completion of five years of credited service in order to be 100% vested in the Corporation contribution. Employee contributions are always 100% vested. In addition, the Plan contains provisions under which the entire amount credited to a participant's account is distributable upon a participant's retirement, disability, or death. Employee contributions are invested by the Trustee in one of six funds: (a) common stock of USG Corporation (USG Common Stock Fund), (b) United States Government obligations (Government Investment Fund), (c) other obligations providing a fixed rate of interest (Fixed Income Fund), (d) an equity index fund which provides investment results that are designed to correspond to the performance of publicly traded common stocks, as represented by the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (Equity Index Fund), (e) a balanced fund which invests in several broadly diversified asset classes, including domestic and foreign common stock and bonds, preferred stocks and cash (Balanced Fund), or (f) a growth fund which invests primarily in equity securities of large market capitalization companies with earnings that are expected to grow at an above-average rate, but may be further diversified by investment of a small portion of the assets in domestic bonds, foreign common stocks and bonds, and cash (Growth Fund). Investment in the USG Common Stock Fund was suspended effective January 1, 1992, but was reopened July 1, 1993. Participants may elect to have their contributions invested in 5% increments in any fund beginning July 1, 1993 and in 25% increments in any fund before June 30, 1993. Participants can also change their investment election and previous accumulated account each quarter. In order to change their investment options, transfer their prior accumulated account to another investment option, increase or decrease the percent of contributions, and to make requests for withdrawals, participants are required to provide notice by the 15th day of the last month of any quarter. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Fixed Income Fund was primarily composed of an investment in group annuity contracts maintained by New York Life Insurance Co., Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. and John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co. The Equity Index Fund was invested in the Vanguard Institutional Index Fund. As of December 31, 1993 the Balanced Fund was invested in the Fidelity Puritan Fund and the Growth Fund was invested in the IDS New Dimensions Fund. Corporation contributions, whether made in cash or stock, are initially invested in the Fixed Income Fund. If the Trustee is unable to invest any contributions immediately, the funds are temporarily invested in collective investment funds and any earnings in the fund are credited to the participants' accounts. The sixth amendment to the Plan was adopted in 1993 which provides that the Corporation makes formula matching contributions for each plan year commencing after December 31, 1992, if at least 80% of the consolidated earnings goal of the Corporation has been met for that plan year. For each calendar quarter commencing after December 31, 1993, the Corporation will also make quarterly matching contributions in an amount equal to 25% of each eligible participant's basic contributions made during that calendar quarter not in excess of 4% of his or her earnings for that calendar quarter. This amendment also established a balanced fund and a growth fund which increases the investment options under the Plan to six. In addition, provisions for loans to participants were established by this amendment. Certain provisions of the sixth amendment are effective January 1, 1993, July 1, 1993 and October 1, 1993, respectively. The Plan funds are administered under the terms of a Trust agreement with The Northern Trust Company. The Trust agreement provides, among other things, that the Trustee shall keep account of all investments, receipts and disbursements and other transactions and shall provide annually a report setting forth such transactions and the status of the funds at the end of the period. The Plan is administered by the Pension and Investment Committee, which consists of three or more members appointed by the Board of Directors of the USG Corporation. Administrative expenses of the Plan, except for charges such as brokerage fees and expenses related to group annuity contracts, are paid by the Corporation. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, there were approximately 9,730 and 8,200 participants in the Plan, respectively. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The amounts in the accompanying statements were accumulated from the reports of the Trustee (Note 1). The statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Contributions to the Plan are made throughout the year and adjustments are made to the statements to accrue for the portion of annual contributions unpaid at year-end. All investments of the Plan are valued at market. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Plan represents the change between years in the difference between the market value and cost of the investments. Realized gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated based upon the historical average cost of the investments. Market value and cost are equal for the group annuity contract and short-term investments. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., New York Life Insurance Co. and John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co. group annuity contracts earned guaranteed interest at rates varying from 5.75% to 8.77% at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The Insurance contract earnings are calculated net of administrative fees. For the USG Common Stock Fund, cost is $49,882,418 and $54,963,763 as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. For the Equity Index Fund, market value increased $315,649 and $2,220,312 in excess of cost at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. For the Balanced Fund and the Growth Fund, market value declined by $17,158 and $77,149 less than cost at December 31, 1993, respectively. Pending transactions from participants' elections for transfers between funds represent the fourth quarter transfers between funds that were elected by participants but have not been executed by the Trustee before year-end as well as withdrawals from participants' accounts to make loans to them. In order to present the proper balance of net assets in each fund at year-end, a receivable and payable were used to record such pending transactions and the net amount of transfers in or out for each fund during the year was presented in participants' elections for transfers between funds on the accompanying statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits. Benefits payable at year-end relate to amounts owed to participants who have terminated the Plan and amounts that are being withdrawn by active participants. 3. TAX STATUS The Plan, as amended and restated, effective January 1, 1989, meets the requirements of Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, its income is exempt from Federal income tax under Section 501 (a). Employer contributions and the income of the Plan are not taxable to the participants until distributions are made. 4. EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS The Corporation will make a contribution with respect to each eligible participant only if at least 80% of the Corporation's consolidated earnings goal is met. The Corporation matching contribution schedule was changed for the 1993 Plan year. Beginning July 1, 1993, each 1% increase in goal attainment from 80% to 99% of goal results in a corresponding 1% increase in the profit sharing match, starting at a 10% match with the attainment of 80% of earnings goal. Each 1% increase in goal attainment from 100% to 109% of goal will result in a 2% increase in the profit sharing match, starting from a 30% match with attainment of 100% of goal earnings. And each 1% increase in goal attainment from 110% and above will result in a 2.5% increase in the profit sharing match, starting from 50% matching with attainment of 110% of goal earnings. Before June 30, 1993, the Corporation matching contribution was 10% with attainment of 80% to 89.9% of earnings goal, 20% matching with attainment of 90% to 99.9% of earnings goal, 30% matching contribution with attainment of 100% to 109.9% of earnings goal and 50% matching contribution with attainment of 110% to 119.9% of earnings goal. With every subsequent incremental increase of 10 full percentage points in achievement of consolidated earnings goal there was an incremental increase of 25 percentage points in corporation contributions measured as a percent of participants' contributions.
