EXPLANATORY NOTE

        This amendment on Form 10-Q/A which amends and restates the quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Walter Industries, Inc. for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2005, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2005 (the "Original Filing"), is being filed to restate the consolidated financial statements. The Company has restated its consolidated financial statements to correct the classification of certain prior-period shipping and handling costs to be compliant with Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Consensus No. 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs" at its Industrial Products, Natural Resources and Other segments. The effect of this restatement was to increase net sales and cost of sales by $26.7 million and $23.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively and to increase net sales and cost of sales by $47.7 million and $39.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The restatement had no impact on operating income, net income, earnings per share or on the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss) for any of the periods presented. See also Note 2 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements."

        This Form 10-Q/A sets forth the Original Filing in its entirety for the convenience of the reader. However, this 10-Q/A solely amends and restates certain information in Items 1, 2 and 4 of Part I and Item 1 of Part II of the Original Filing. In connection with the restatement described above, management has determined that a material weakness existed related to our controls over the appropriate classification of shipping and handling costs as of June 30, 2005. We have fully remediated that weakness as of the date of filing this amendment on Form 10-Q/A.

        In addition, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Item 6 of Part II has been amended to contain currently-dated certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are attached to this Form 10-Q/A as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2.

        Except for the foregoing amended information, this Form 10-Q/A continues to describe conditions as of the date of the Original Filing, and the disclosures contained therein have not been updated to reflect events, results or developments that occurred after the Original Filing, or to modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Among other things, forward looking statements made in the Original Filing have not been revised to reflect events, results or developments that occurred or facts that became known to the Company after the date of the Original Filing (other than the restatement), and such forward looking statements should be read in their historical context.

WALTER INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005
(Unaudited)
Restated

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Walter Industries, Inc. ("the Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.

        The balance sheet at December 31, 2004 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

Note 2—Restatement of Financial Statements

        The Company has restated its consolidated financial statements to correct the classification of certain prior-period shipping and handling costs in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Consensus No. 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs," at its Industrial Products, Natural Resources and Other segments. EITF 00-10 does not allow shipping and handling costs to be shown as a deduction from net sales.

        The Company's prior method of accounting for the cost to deliver products to the customer's designated location was to include these costs as a deduction from net sales and revenues. Such costs are now included in cost of sales. The impact of the restatement was to increase net sales and cost of sales by $26.7 million and $23.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and to increase net sales and cost of sales by $47.7 million and $39.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 an 2004, respectively. The restatement had no impact on operating income, net income, earnings per share or on the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss) for any of the periods presented. See also Note 14 for the restatement of the reportable segments.

Note 3—Pending Acquisition of Mueller Water Products, Inc.

        The Company has entered into an agreement and as of June 17, 2005 for the acquisition for cash of Mueller Water Products, Inc. and subsidiaries ("Mueller") for approximately $1.9 billion.

        The closing of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various closing conditions, including but not limited to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the availability of the financing described below on substantially the terms and conditions set forth in the Company's commitment letters.

        The Company expects to finance the acquisition with a combination of available cash, borrowings under new credit facilities of the Company and Mueller Group, Inc. ("Mueller Group"), a subsidiary of Mueller, pursuant to commitment letters entered into as of June 17, 2005 with Bank of America, N.A., Banc of America Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and Bank of America Bridge LLC. Such financing will consist of $625 million in a senior secured credit facility for the Company and $1.175 billion in a senior secured credit facility for Mueller Group. The financing also includes backstop commitments for $145 million and $320 million, respectively, to finance any repurchases after the acquisition of 143/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2014 of Mueller and 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 of Mueller Group pursuant to the rights of holders of those securities following the change of control to put such securities to their respective issuers in accordance with the respective indentures. The Company does not anticipate borrowing under the backstop commitments. These financing commitments are subject to the completion of the acquisition and customary closing conditions, including entering into definitive loan agreements. The closing is expected in September 2005.

Note 4—Stock-Based Compensation Plans

        The Company uses the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for stock options. The Company's restricted stock units are accounted for as a fixed plan under APB Opinion 25. Accordingly, compensation costs are measured using the excess, if any, of the Company's stock price at the grant dates in excess of the option or restricted stock unit price.

        During the first quarter of 2004, the Company established the Long-Term Incentive Award Plan Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the "Agreement"). The restricted units are subject to accelerated vesting if the stock price of the Company reaches certain pre-established targets within certain time periods after issuance. The Company records an equity and contra-equity amount, both equal to the market value of the restricted stock units on the date of grant, as a component of capital in excess of par value. Compensation expense is charged on a straight-line basis in the income statement based on the vesting period of the restricted stock units with a corresponding credit to

capital in excess of par value. The Company recorded approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million of compensation expense, net of tax, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, and $0.1 million of compensation expense, net of tax, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.

Note 5—Restructuring and Impairments

        In December 2003, the Company announced that it expected to close Mine No. 5 during the fourth quarter of 2004 due to continuing adverse geologic conditions. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company decided to extend its coal production schedule for Mine No. 5 to the fourth quarter of 2006 due to favorable metallurgical coal pricing. Due to a water ingress problem, the Company has further extended the coal production schedule for Mine No. 5 into 2007. The total expected costs of the shutdown are $14.5 million, of which approximately $9.4 million would qualify as restructuring costs and the remainder of the costs primarily representing workers' compensation and other incremental costs related to the closure of the mine will be charged to expense when incurred. Estimated expected costs associated with the shutdown and the amounts recorded to restructuring expenses are as follows (in thousands):

        The Mid-State Trust IX Variable Funding Loan Facility was a $400.0 million warehouse facility, which was reduced to $200.0 million on April 29, 2005, that matures on January 31, 2006. Interest is based on the cost of A-1 and P-1 rated commercial paper plus 0.75%. Other borrowing costs include a facility fee on the unused amount of 0.40%. The weighted average interest rate on amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2005 was 3.47%.

        The Mid-State Trust XIV Variable Funding Loan Agreement is a $200.0 million warehouse facility that matures on February 3, 2006. Interest is based on the cost of A-1 and P-1 rated commercial paper plus 0.75%. Other borrowing costs include a facility fee on the unused amount of 0.25%. The weighted average interest rate on amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2005 was 3.35%.

        The convertible senior subordinated notes are convertible at the option of the holder through September 30, 2005 having satisfied, as of June 30, 2005, the common stock price condition. The notes may continue to be convertible during future periods if the common stock sales price condition or other conditions are satisfied.

        In April 2003, the Company entered into a $500 million bank credit facility (the "2003 Credit Facility") which consisted of a $245 million senior secured revolving credit facility that matures in April 2008 and a $255 million senior secured term loan originally maturing in April 2010. In April 2004, the Company issued $175 million of convertible senior subordinated notes and used a portion of the proceeds to repay the remaining balance of the senior secured term loan. The 2003 Credit Facility is secured by the stock of Walter Industries' subsidiaries and by certain assets (excluding real property) of the Company. The commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility and the interest rate was 0.50% and a floating rate of 350 basis points over LIBOR, respectively, until June 30, 2005. The interest rate on the senior secured loan was a floating rate of 425 basis points over LIBOR. LIBOR was 3.2% and 2.4% at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

        On March 31, 2005, the Company entered into an amendment of its 2003 Credit Facility which increased the revolving credit facility by $20.0 million to a total of $265.0 million and lowered the applicable rate attributed to borrowings, letter of credit fees, and commitment fees; increased the aggregate amount of permitted indebtedness related to capital leases, synthetic lease obligations and purchase money obligations for real property and fixed capital assets from $25.0 million to $50.0 million; provided for up to $200.0 million of subordinated debt; amended the Company's ability to pay dividends and repurchase its common stock to an amount not to exceed in any fiscal year $35.0 million plus 50% of Consolidated Net Income for the immediately preceding fiscal year; allowed the prepayment of subordinated debt under certain conditions; amended the Financial Covenants by (i) increasing the maximum permitted Consolidated Leverage Ratio from 2.75 to 1.0 to 3.50 to 1.0, (ii) adding a new Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio not to exceed 2.50 to 1.0, (iii) deleting the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, and (iv) adding a limitation on Capital Expenditures in each fiscal year; increased the threshold for lender approval for individual cash acquisitions from $50.0 million to $100.0 million; and allowed the Company to increase the Credit Agreement under certain conditions in an aggregate amount not to exceed $110.0 million through increased commitments of existing lenders or the addition of new lenders.

        The revolving credit facility includes a sub-facility for trade and other standby letters of credit in an amount up to $100.0 million at any time outstanding. At June 30, 2005, letters of credit with a face amount of $73.0 million were outstanding and approximately $172.0 million was available under the Revolving Credit Facility.

These purchases were assumed to have been made at the higher of either the market price of the common stock at the end of the period or the average market price for the period.

Note 13—Financial Instruments

        On January 31, 2005, the Company entered into two $50 million hedge transactions with two separate counter-parties. The objective of the hedge is to protect against the negative effect that rising interest rates would have on the Company's future forecasted issuance of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of the hedge is a 7.5-year forward starting swap, which starts on December 1, 2005, the forecasted issuance date of the Company's next securitization. The swap agreements call for the Company to make fixed rate payments over the term at 4.573% per annum and receive payments based on one month LIBOR from the counter-parties. It is anticipated that the swap will be settled upon the next securitization and will be accounted for as a cash flow hedge. As such, changes in the fair value of

17



the swap that take place through the date of securitization will be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, assuming the securitization remains likely. As of June 30, 2005, the Company recorded an unrealized loss from these hedging instruments of $1.9 million as a component of other comprehensive income.

        On July 25, 2005 and August 4, 2005, the Company entered into swap contracts to hedge anticipated sales of natural gas from August 2005 through March 2006. See Note 15 for additional discussion.

Operating income amounts are after deducting amortization of other intangibles of $1,986 and $2,837 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and interest expense on the mortgage-backed/asset-backed notes of $62,537 and $62,002 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies

Income Tax Litigation

        A controversy exists with regard to federal income taxes allegedly owed by the Company for fiscal years 1980 through 1994. In connection with the bankruptcy proceedings, the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") filed a proof of claim in the Bankruptcy Court (the "Proof of Claim") for a substantial amount of taxes, interest and penalties with respect to fiscal years ended August 31, 1980 and August 31, 1983 through May 31, 1994. The Company filed an adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court disputing the Proof of Claim (the "Adversary Proceeding") and the various issues have been and are being litigated in the Bankruptcy Court.

20


        The amounts initially asserted by the Proof of Claim do not reflect the subsequent resolution of various issues through settlements or concessions by the parties. After adjustment for these items, the Company estimates that the amount of tax presently claimed by the IRS is approximately $34 million for issues currently in dispute in the Adversary Proceeding. This amount is subject to interest and penalties. Of the $34 million in claimed tax, $21 million represents issues in which the IRS is not challenging the deductibility of the particular expense but only whether such expense is deductible in a particular year. Substantially all of the issues in the Proof of Claim, which have not been settled or conceded have been litigated before the Bankruptcy Court and are subject to appeal but only at the conclusion of the entire Adversary Proceeding.

        The Company believes that those portions of the Proof of Claim, which remain in dispute or are subject to appeals substantially overstate the amount of taxes allegedly owing. However, because of the complexity of the issues presented and the uncertainties associated with litigation, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the Adversary Proceeding.

        The Company believes that its tax filing positions have substantial merit and intends to defend vigorously any tax claims asserted. The Company believes that it has sufficient accruals to address any claims, including interest and penalties.

Environmental

        The Company and its U.S. Pipe subsidiary have been identified as potentially responsible parties ("PRP") by the EPA under CERCLA with respect to cleanup of hazardous substances in Anniston, Alabama. The Company and U.S. Pipe are among many such PRP's, and a significant number of the PRP's are substantial companies. A Consent Order has been negotiated and signed between the PRP's and the EPA. The Consent Order remains subject to a public comment period before it will come into effect. Management estimates the Company's and U.S. Pipe's aggregate share of liability for cleanup under the Consent Order, after allocation among the several PRPs, will be approximately $4.0 million, which was accrued in 2004. Management does not believe that the Company's and U.S. Pipe's share of any liability will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, but could be material to results of operations in future reporting periods.

Miscellaneous Litigation

        During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with a former insurer whereby the former insurer agreed to pay $5.1 million, net of legal fees, to the Company for historical insurance claims that had not previously been submitted to the insurance company for reimbursement. The Company released the insurer of both past and future claims. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company received $2.8 million. The remainder is expected to be received in the first quarter of 2006. The Company recorded a $5.1 million reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses in the Industrial Products segment.

        On March 29, 2005, an order granting summary judgment in the Company's favor was entered in a lawsuit that Drummond Company, Inc. had filed in state court in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama on

21



October 29, 2001 against the Company and several of its subsidiaries (Drummond Company, Inc. v. Walter Industries, Inc., et al., Case No. CV 2002-0673). In the lawsuit Drummond had claimed that it was entitled to exclusive surface mining rights on certain lands owned by United Land Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The court found otherwise. As a result, the Company reversed a $1.1 million accrual for royalty payments to Drummond and recorded a corresponding reduction to cost of sales in the Other segment, which includes United Land Corporation, for the three months ended March 31, 2005. At trial, the jury awarded damages of ten dollars to Drummond and found against the Company on its counterclaim. Drummond has appealed. Management does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.

        Per the agreement between the Company and Oxbow Carbon and Minerals LLC for the sale of the AIMCOR business, the final sales price is subject to certain post-closing cash and working capital adjustments defined in the agreement, which are subject to resolution through an arbitration process provided for in the agreement. The Company recorded a receivable in 2003 of approximately $16 million for estimated net cash and working capital adjustments due to the Company based upon the monthly closing financial statements provided by AIMCOR's management as of November 30, 2003. That receivable has been reduced by insurance proceeds, related to claims made prior to the sale, to approximately $14 million as of March 31, 2005. Oxbow claimed that the cash and net working capital adjustment, based on statements Oxbow prepared as of December 2, 2003, should result in a payment to Oxbow of approximately $17.8 million. The Company originally disputed approximately $121 million of post-closing adjustments and working capital items. The Company filed for arbitration against Oxbow in May of 2004. On March 2, 2005, the arbitrator issued an award on $35 million of disputed items that had been submitted to arbitration and awarded $22.7 million to the Company. The Company is pursuing the remaining items totaling $86 million, of which approximately $10 million would need to be adjudicated in the Company's favor in order for the Company to fully collect the receivable. The ultimate collection of the receivable, or any amount in excess of the receivable, is subject to the resolution of the arbitration described above. Management intends to vigorously pursue full recovery. Management does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.

        The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to a number of other lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of their businesses. The Company provides for costs relating to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. The effect of the outcome of these matters on the Company's future results of operations cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount and timing of the resolution of such matters. While the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the final outcome of such other litigation will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position.

Note 16—Subsequent Events

        On July 25, 2005, the Company entered into a swap contract to hedge anticipated sales of natural gas from August 2005 through February 2006 totaling 1.4 million mmbtu, or 34% of expected natural

22



gas production, at a price of $8.54 per mmbtu. These swap contracts effectively convert a portion of forecasted sales at floating-rate natural gas prices to a fixed-rate basis.

        On July 29, 2005, the Board of Directors declared a $0.04 per share dividend payable on September 13, 2005 to shareholders of record on August 12, 2005.

        On August 4, 2005, the Company entered into a swap contract to hedge anticipated sales of natural gas from November 2005 through March 2006 totaling 0.5 million mmbtu, or 12% of expected natural gas production, at a price of $9.365 per mmbtu. These swap contracts effectively convert a portion of forecasted sales at floating-rate natural gas prices to a fixed-rate basis.

Note 17—New Accounting Pronouncements

        In December 2004, the FASB released revised FASB No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment", ("FAS 123R") which requires companies to expense the fair value of employee stock options and other forms of stock-based compensation. FAS 123R will be adopted by the Company beginning January 1, 2006. The Company expects to utilize the modified prospective application method of adoption, which excludes restatement of prior periods in the year of adoption. The impact of the adoption of FAS 123R on the 2006 financial statements has not yet been determined. However, see Note 3 for information related to the pro forma effects on the Company's reported net income and net income per share of applying the fair value recognition provisions of the previous FAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."

        In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations" ("FIN 47"), which is an interpretation of FASB No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("FAS 143"). This interpretation clarifies terminology within FAS 143 and requires companies to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability's fair value can be reasonably estimated. This interpretation does not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

        In June 2005, the FASB issued FASB No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3" ("FAS 154"), which changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. FAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. FAS 154 also requires that a change in method of depreciation, amortization or depletion for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate that is effected by a change in accounting principle. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, but does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a transition phase as of the effective date of FAS 154. The adoption of FAS 154 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Overview

        The Company's net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $41.5 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, which compares to net income in the year ago period of $8.3 million, or $0.20 per share. Net income for the quarter principally reflects increased pricing in the Natural Resources segment and higher pricing in the Industrial Products segment partially offset by an increased loss in the Homebuilding segment and lower operating income at Financing.

        Principal factors impacting the current period results compared to the year ago period included:

    Metallurgical coal selling prices increased 81% to $95.10 per ton in the current period compared to the prior year period.

    Industrial Products' current period results reflect a 22.8% increase in ductile iron pipe prices and favorable plant performance partially offset by a 12.3% decrease in ductile iron pipe shipments and 10.2% higher scrap metal costs.

    Homebuilding had 15% fewer unit completions and $3.2 million of charges related to repair, rework and other non-recoverable costs for under-construction homes, additional legal accruals, write-down of supplies inventory for shortages and obsolescence, plus additional warranty and loss accruals, partially offset by 8% higher sales prices.

    Natural Resources incurred idle mine costs of $3.6 million due to a water ingress problem in Mine No. 5, which is discussed below.

25


    Financing results in the current period reflect a $3.3 million decrease in interest income due to declining mortgage origination production from the Homebuilding segment, lower prepayment income of $1.9 million and higher interest expense partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses and a reduced provision for losses as delinquencies improved by 60 basis points.

    Current period results at Sloss reflect higher furnace and foundry coke pricing, partially offset by higher metallurgical coal raw material costs.

    The Company established a $1.8 million valuation allowance in 2004, recorded in income tax expense, for Homebuilding segment state deferred tax assets.

    Unamortized debt costs and discounts of $1.6 million, net of tax, were expensed in the 2004 period due to the early retirement of $112 million in variable interest rate term debt.

    Vestal Manufacturing was sold in 2004, resulting in a prior period loss of $0.8 million, net of tax.

        Other developments, trends and factors that may impact future results include:

    A water ingress problem at Mine No. 5 halted production on May 31, 2005 and caused several roof-falls, which blocked the main roadway and several conveyor areas. Most of the excess water has been pumped out of the mine and work crews are underground restoring operations. As a result of the damage caused by the water, Mine No. 5 is expected to be idle through the fourth quarter of 2005. This will result in reduced production for 2005 of approximately 450,000 tons and approximately $24 million of idle mine costs in the second half of 2005. Delayed production in 2005 will be additive to expected 2006 production by 200,000 tons with the balance additive to 2007. The Company expects to meet all of its contracted delivery schedules. Additionally, given the down time expected for the remainder of the year at Mine No. 5, gas volume is expected to be lower through the balance of 2005.

    In addition to the previously announced $135 million Mine No. 7 expansion, the Company is pursuing an additional expansion opportunity at Mine No. 7 to produce approximately 700,000 million tons of coal in 2007. Costs to develop this area and build the required infrastructure are estimated at approximately $6.1 million.

    The Company expects to complete a new barge loading facility in August 2005, which will provide an alternative method of transporting metallurgical coal to the port in Mobile, Alabama.

    As of June 30, 2005, scrap metal costs used by the Industrial Products segment have declined 11.2% from their peak in the fourth quarter of 2004. There is some evidence of downward pricing pressure in certain markets in response to the decline in scrap metal prices. However, due to the volatility of scrap metal costs, the Company is holding prices firm.

    Inventories of ductile iron pipe are higher than anticipated in the Industrial Products segment due to industry-wide delays in construction projects, some of which are due to weather-related problems. The Company has revised production schedules to address current inventory levels.

    The Financing segment expects to increase loan acquisition activity through Walter Mortgage Company as a strategy to offset the lower level of mortgage origination production from the Homebuilding segment. During the first six months of 2005, Walter Mortgage Company purchased $31.7 million in loans and estimates total purchases of $80 million for the year.

    Homebuilding has completed 35 renovations of its home parks and models, including 20 in the first six months of 2005, and plans to complete 30 more during the year.

    Recent marketing initiatives and home park sales center enhancements are driving improved sales order trends in Homebuilding with same-store sales orders, net of cancellations, up 31% in

26


      the second quarter versus the prior year period. In addition, the value of the backlog rose 50% from the prior year period.

    The Southeast and Atlantic Homebuilding divisions continue to experience construction-related delays primarily related to personnel turnover and sub-contractor availability. The Company is aggressively addressing these issues and has dedicated additional human resources and information technology personnel to resolve these critical constraints.

    The Homebuilding segment continues to implement initiatives to increase productivity and profitability, and the segment expects to achieve a breakeven run-rate in the fourth quarter of 2005.

    The Company received a favorable ruling in the Drummond case over surface mining rights for coal on certain Company-owned properties. Although the ruling has been appealed, the Company is moving aggressively to develop these deposits of steam and metallurgical coal. The Company has submitted permit applications for several areas and expects to firm up estimates of potential reserves and definitive mining plans by December 31, 2005.

    The Company's future financial information will include the financial results as of and subsequent to the acquisition of Mueller Water Products, Inc. and subsidiaries, including any purchase accounting adjustments that may be required in the period in which the transaction occurs. The closing is expected in September 2005.

        Net sales and revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $468.0 million, a 16.1% increase from $403.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, primarily driven by higher metallurgical coal prices at Natural Resources along with higher pricing at Industrial Products and Sloss partially offset by decreases at Homebuilding and Financing.

        Cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation, of $296.8 million was 72.5% of net sales in the 2005 period versus $281.6 million and 81.5% of net sales in the comparable period of 2004. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales is due to increases in metallurgical coal sales prices at Natural Resources and ductile iron pipe prices at Industrial Products, partially offset by idle mine costs of $3.6 million due to the water ingress problem at Natural Resources' Mine No. 5, 10.2% higher scrap metal costs at Industrial Products, increased metallurgical coal raw material costs at Sloss and non-recoverable costs for units under construction at Homebuilding.

        Depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $14.5 million, a decrease of $0.7 million from the same period in 2004, primarily in the Natural Resources segment.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses of $54.0 million were 11.6% of net sales and revenues in the 2005 period, compared to $50.1 million and 12.4% in 2004. The increase is primarily due to costs recorded in the Other segment for severance and other personnel costs, partially offset by lower medical costs.

        Provision for losses on instalment notes decreased to $1.9 million in the 2005 period, compared to $2.9 million in 2004 due to lower delinquency rates and higher recovery rates.

        Interest expense on corporate debt decreased $2.1 million to $4.1 million in the 2005 period due to prior year write-offs of unamortized term loan debt issuance costs of $1.2 million and debt discount costs of $1.3 million resulting from the early retirement of the term loan.

        The Company's effective tax rate of 32.0% and 42.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to depletion deductions related to the Natural Resources segment and the effect of state income taxes. Additionally, the Company established a $1.8 million valuation allowance for Homebuilding segment state deferred tax assets which was expensed during the quarter ended June 30, 2004.

Segment Analysis:

Homebuilding

        Net sales and revenues were $57.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $4.4 million from the quarter ended June 30, 2004 as a result of lower unit completions, partially offset by higher average selling prices. Total unit completions decreased by 130, or 14.8%, compared to the year earlier period. The modular business completed 128 homes in the current quarter, 16 fewer than the year-ago period. Excluding the modular business, 620 units were completed in the current period, compared to 734 in the year-ago period. This decrease is due to fewer sales orders in the fourth quarter of last year, fewer sales branches in 2005 compared to the prior year and construction challenges in two divisions due to personnel turnover and sub-contractor availability. Since June 30, 2004, the Company has closed 21 underperforming sales branches, which delivered 111 unit completions in the prior year period. The higher average selling price reflects the Company's ongoing strategy to market and sell larger homes with more amenities.

June 30,

 
  2005

Homes Completed     748     878
Average Net Selling Price   $ 75,600   $ 70,100

        The estimated backlog at June 30, 2005 of homes to be constructed was $201 million, or 2,440 homes, compared to $143 million, or 2,001 homes, at December 31, 2004 and $134 million, or 1,912 homes, at June 30, 2004.

        The operating loss was $14.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to an operating loss of $6.7 million in the year-ago period. The increase was due to fewer unit completions and charges related to repair, rework and other non-recoverable costs for under construction homes, additional legal accruals, write-down of supplies inventory for shortages and obsolescence, plus warranty and loss accruals ($3.2 million) which address historical quality issues. Additional unrecoverable costs related to homes completed during the quarter were offset by cost reductions resulting from the closure of underperforming sales branches.

        As a result of construction delays caused by personnel sub-contractor availability, the efforts of the strengthened purchasing group are being redirected from internal system matters to more proactive sub-contractor and supplies procurement and cost performance.

Financing

        Net sales and revenues were $58.6 million in the 2005 period, a decrease of $4.2 million from $62.8 million for the year-ago period. The reduction in revenue was attributed to a decrease in the overall instalment note portfolio due to declining mortgage origination production from the Homebuilding segment. Prepayment revenue also declined by $1.9 million due to lower prepayment speeds.

        Operating income decreased by $2.4 million, to $14.2 million in the 2005 period due to the impact of a reduced instalment note portfolio balance, lower prepayment income and higher interest expense due to increased levels of fixed-rate securitized debt partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses and an improvement in the provision for losses.

        Prepayment speeds were 10.5% in the 2005 period, down 50 basis points from the prior year period. Delinquencies (the percentage of amounts outstanding over 30 days past due) were 4.0% at June 30, 2005, down from 4.6% at June 30, 2004 and from 4.9% at December 31, 2004, reflecting improved mortgage servicing performance.

Industrial Products

        Net sales and revenues were $162.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $155.6 million in the year-earlier period. The increase was primarily due to a 22.8% increase in ductile iron pipe selling prices, partially offset by a 12.3% decrease in ductile iron pipe sales shipments due to industry-wide construction delays, some of which are due to weather-related problems, which affected demand for 8-to-12 inch diameter product. The Company expects sales of 8-to-12 inch diameter products to improve in the second half of 2005. Prices were higher than the prior year as the industry has been increasing prices to offset surging scrap costs. U.S. Pipe's pricing actions since June 2003 have offset scrap metal and other manufacturing cost increases.

        The estimated order backlog consisting of pressure pipe, valves and hydrants, fittings and castings at June 30, 2005 was approximately $85.8 million compared to $91.0 million at December 31, 2004 and $79.1 million at June 30, 2004. The increase in backlog is due to increased orders for larger diameter pipe and higher pricing.

        Operating income for the segment totaled $12.1 million for the quarter, compared to $1.4 million in the prior-year period. The $10.7 million operating income improvement is due to higher ductile iron pipe pricing and favorable plant performance, partially offset by higher scrap metal costs. The prior year period included a loss of $1.2 million related to the sale of Vestal Manufacturing.

Natural Resources

        Net sales and revenues were $162.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, up 60.9% from the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher metallurgical coal and natural gas pricing. Higher metallurgical coal pricing is being driven by worldwide increases in steel production, especially in China, India and Brazil.

        For the three months ended June 30, 2005, Natural Resources' operating income was $58.6 million, compared to operating income of $14.7 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher metallurgical coal prices, a favorable sales mix of metallurgical versus steam coal and increased natural gas prices partially offset by higher production costs due to an extended longwall move and idle mine charges of $3.6 million at Mine No. 5 due to the water ingress problem and lower natural gas volumes in Mine No. 4 and Mine No. 5. During the second quarter of 2005, sales of 140,000 tons of metallurgical coal were shipped earlier than planned, and steam coal deliveries of 55,000 tons were deferred. The net result of this positive sales mix was an increase in second quarter revenues and operating income of approximately $9.4 million and $6.4 million, respectively. The decrease in natural gas volume is primarily attributable to Mine No. 4 production occurring in a heavily degassed area of the mine and the idling of Mine No. 5.

Other

        Net sales and revenues were $35.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $7.6 million from $27.9 million in the prior year period. Sloss revenues were $32.7 million, up 27.2%

29



versus the prior year period due to higher furnace coke and foundry coke prices partially offset by lower volumes. Sloss operating income was $3.0 million in the 2005 period compared to $2.3 million in the prior year period as higher furnace and foundry coke pricing was partially offset by increased metallurgical coal raw material costs. Operating results for the Other segment also include an increase of $0.6 million in operating income for the Land Group from additional real estate sales.

        Net general corporate expenses, principally included in selling, general and administrative expense, were $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Corporate expenses increased due to higher severance and other personnel costs of $3.2 million partially offset by lower medical costs of $1.8 million.

Overview

        The Company's net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $60.2 million, or $1.28 per diluted share, which compares to net income in the year ago period of $3.7 million, or $0.09 per share. Profitability at Natural Resources increased significantly over the prior year period primarily driven by higher contractual selling prices for metallurgical coal. The improvement in Industrial Products over the prior year is due to improved ductile iron pipe selling prices, which were partially offset by higher scrap metal costs. The results for the current period include consistent earnings in the Financing segment and losses in the Homebuilding segment as a result of fewer unit completions and higher than anticipated costs driven by repair, rework and other non-recoverable costs related to home construction.

        Principal factors impacting the current period results compared to the year ago period included:

    Metallurgical coal selling prices increased 76.5% to $86.01 per ton in the current period compared to the prior year period, while metallurgical coal tons sold increased 4.9%.

    Homebuilding had 21.9% fewer unit completions and additional charges related to repair, rework and other non-recoverable costs related to home construction that caused overall gross margins to decline by 22.5% compared to the prior year period, which were partially offset by 7.3% higher average selling prices.

31


    Financing results in the current period reflect a 4.6% decrease in interest income due to the decline in the portfolio balance partially offset by a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses and favorable loss experience on delinquencies.

    Ductile iron pipe price increases of 24.5% have helped offset increases in scrap metal costs, while tons shipped have decreased by 11.5% compared to the prior year period.

    Current period results at Sloss reflect higher furnace and foundry coke pricing, partially offset by increases in production costs and higher metallurgical coal raw material costs.

    Industrial Products results in the current period include a $5.1 million insurance claims settlement.

    Unamortized debt costs and discounts of $1.6 million, net of tax, were expensed in the 2004 period due to the early retirement of $112 million in variable interest rate term debt.

    The Company established a $1.8 million valuation allowance in 2004, recorded in income tax expense, for Homebuilding segment state deferred tax assets.

    Vestal Manufacturing was sold in 2004, resulting in a prior period loss of $0.8 million, net of tax.

        Net sales and revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $834.2 million, an 11.9% increase from $745.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, primarily driven by higher metallurgical coal sales prices at Natural Resources along with higher pricing at U.S. Pipe and Sloss partially offset by decreases at Homebuilding and Financing.

        Cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation, of $535.2 million was 74.6% of net sales in the 2005 period versus $524.3 million and 83.5% of net sales in the comparable period of 2004. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales is due to increases in sales prices at Natural Resources, Industrial Products and Sloss partially offset by higher scrap metal costs in the Industrial Products segment, increased metallurgical coal raw material costs at Sloss, idle mine costs of $3.6 million due to the water ingress problem at Natural Resources' Mine No. 5 and lower margins at Homebuilding.

        Depreciation for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $28.8 million, a decrease of $1.7 million from the same period in 2004, primarily in the Natural Resources and Industrial Products segments.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses of $96.6 million were 11.6% of net sales and revenues in the 2005 period, compared to $98.5 million and 13.2% in 2004. The decrease is primarily due to a $5.1 million insurance claim settlement in the Industrial Products segment, a $1.9 million decrease in the Homebuilding segment due to lower costs from 21 branch closures, severance and employee-related costs, and lower property tax and consulting expenses in Financing. These were partially offset by higher severance, audit fees and other employee-related costs in the Other segment and higher legal costs in the Natural Resources segment. The prior year results also include $1.0 million for Vestal Manufacturing which was sold in 2004.

        Provision for losses on instalment notes decreased to $5.1 million in the 2005 period, compared to $6.4 million in 2004 due to lower delinquency rates and higher recovery rates.

        Interest expense on corporate debt decreased $2.4 million to $7.7 million in the 2005 period due to the write-off of unamortized term loan debt issuance costs of $1.2 million and debt discount costs of $1.3 million in the prior year period resulting from the early retirement of the term loan.

        The Company's effective tax rate of 32.0% and 51.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to depletion deductions related to the Natural Resources segment and the effect of state income taxes. Additionally, the Company established a $1.8 million valuation allowance for Homebuilding segment state deferred tax assets which was expensed during the quarter ended June 30, 2004.

Segment Analysis:

Homebuilding

        Net sales and revenues were $105.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $19.9 million from the six months ended June 30, 2004 as a result of lower unit completions, partially offset by higher average selling prices. Total unit completions decreased by 393 or 21.9%, compared to the year earlier period. The modular business completed 238 homes in the current period, 56 less than the year-ago period due to poor weather in 2005. Excluding the modular business, 1,160 units were completed in the current period, compared to 1,497 in the year-ago period.

  2005
  2004
Homes Completed     1,398     1,791
Average Net Selling Price   $ 75,200   $ 70,100

        The operating loss was $22.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to an operating loss of $15.5 million in the year-ago period. The increase was due to fewer unit completions, other non-recoverable costs for homes under construction and completed homes, additional legal accruals, write-down of supplies inventory for shortages and obsolescence, plus warranty and loss accruals partially offset by higher sales prices and lower overhead costs resulting from 21 branch closures since June 30, 2004.

Financing

        Net sales and revenues were $117.7 million in the 2005 period, a decrease of $6.1 million from $123.8 million for the year-ago period. This decrease was attributed to reduced yields on the instalment note portfolio, as well as a decrease in the instalment notes portfolio balance caused by lower Homebuilding segment mortgage origination production. Operating income decreased by $1.7 million, to $28.8 million in the 2005 period. Reduced selling, general and administrative costs and a lower provision for losses on instalment notes for the current period were offset by the overall decline in portfolio earnings.

Industrial Products

        Net sales and revenues were $286.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $277.0 million in the year-earlier period. The increase was primarily due to a 24.5% increase in ductile iron pipe selling prices, partially offset by an 11.5% decrease in ductile iron pipe shipments mainly due to industry-wide delays in construction projects, some of which are due to weather-related problems. Prices were higher than the prior year as the industry has been increasing prices to offset surging scrap costs. U.S. Pipe's pricing actions since June 2003 have offset scrap metal and other manufacturing cost increases.

        Operating income for the segment totaled $17.6 million for the period, compared to an operating loss of $0.1 million in the prior-year period. Current period operating income was favorably impacted by a $5.1 million insurance claim settlement. Excluding this settlement, operating income improved $12.6 million as compared with the prior year period due to higher pricing partially offset by lower volumes due to poor weather and higher scrap metal costs. Prior period results also included a $1.2 million loss from the $6.0 million sale of Vestal Manufacturing.

33



Natural Resources

        Net sales and revenues were $271.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $96.7 million from $174.8 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher metallurgical coal prices.

        For the six months ended June 30, 2005, Natural Resources' operating income was $83.2 million, compared to operating income of $12.4 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher metallurgical coal prices, partially offset by idle mine costs at Mine No. 5 and higher costs per ton at Mine No. 7 and Mine No. 5. Also, the Company recorded a $1.6 million reduction of other post-employment benefits liability in 2004.

Other

        Net sales and revenues were $68.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $13.7 million from $55.1 million in the prior year period. Sloss revenues were $12.6 million higher than the previous period due to higher furnace coke and foundry coke prices. Sloss operating income was $4.8 million in the 2005 period, an increase of $0.6 million from the prior year period, due to higher furnace and foundry coke pricing and was partially offset by increases in production costs, higher metallurgical coal raw material costs and expenses from a legal settlement. Operating income for the segment included an accrual reduction of $1.1 million in the Company's land group recorded in cost of sales due to a favorable court ruling related to a coal mineral rights dispute.

        Net general corporate expenses, principally included in selling, general and administrative expense, were $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Corporate expenses increased due to higher severance and other personnel costs of $4.0 million and higher professional fees related to audit services of $1.0 million partially offset by lower medical expenses of $3.1 million.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

        Cash decreased from $46.9 million at December 31, 2004 to $29.2 million at June 30, 2005 reflecting $43.6 million of cash flows provided by operations, $25.7 million of cash flows used in investing activities, and $35.6 million of cash flows used in financing activities. See additional discussion in the Statement of Cash Flows section that follows.

        Instalment notes receivable include instalment notes generated principally from the financing of homes constructed by the Homebuilding segment and purchased by the Financing segment and mortgage loans originated or purchased by the Financing segment. Instalment notes were $1,582.8 million at June 30, 2005, a decrease of $36.3 million from December 31, 2004 principally as a result of reduced volume of Homebuilding units and prepayments of outstanding balances. Mortgage loans were $132.1 million at June 30, 2005, an increase of $22.8 million from December 31, 2004 resulting from acquisitions of third party loans and refinancing of instalment notes.

34



        The allowance for losses on instalment notes receivable was $11.1 million at June 30, 2005 and $11.2 million at December 31, 2004. Delinquencies (the percentage of amounts outstanding over 30 days past due) were 4.0% at June 30, 2005, 4.6% at June 30, 2004 and 4.9% at December 31, 2004.

        Receivables, net, consisting principally of trade receivables, were $206.9 million at June 30, 2005, an increase of $36.7 million from December 31, 2004. The increase in receivables was primarily due to higher selling prices and volumes in the Natural Resources ($27.7 million) and Industrial Products ($13.2 million) segments, partially offset by the collection of proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options ($6.8 million).

        Inventories increased $60.8 million to $294.3 million at June 30, 2005 compared to $233.5 million at December 31, 2004, primarily related to (i) Industrial Products ($45.6 million) due to scheduled inventory buildups associated with the seasonality of the business and wet weather which delayed shipments to construction projects, (ii) Natural Resources ($12.3 million) due to increased coal production, coupled with rail transportation congestion preventing deliveries to the Port of Mobile, Alabama and (iii) Homebuilding ($3.5 million) due to increased homes under construction.

        Prepaid expenses were $19.1 million at June 30, 2005, an increase of $2.2 million from December 31, 2004, due to the timing of insurance payments, which are amortized over the coverage period.

        Property, plant and equipment was $348.0 million at June 30, 2005, an increase of $13.3 million reflecting additions, net of retirements, of $42.1 million, partially offset by depreciation of $28.8 million. The increase in additions is primarily due to equipment and mine expansion costs at Natural Resources.

        Deferred income taxes decreased $12.5 million to $35.4 million at June 30, 2005 from $47.9 million at December 31, 2004, due to the deferred tax provision partially offset by tax benefits on the exercise of employee stock options and interest rate hedging activities.

        Accounts payable of $108.6 million at June 30, 2005 increased $18.4 million compared to December 31, 2004 primarily as a result of the timing of vendor payments and the seasonality of material purchases.

        Mortgage-backed/asset-backed notes decreased to $1,697.5 million from $1,763.8 million due to principal payments on the trusts, partially offset by borrowings on new loan originations from the sale of homes.

        Senior debt of $20.0 million at June 30, 2005 represents short-term borrowings on the revolving credit facility.

35



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

        The Company's principal sources of short-term funding are operating cash flows, borrowings under the revolving credit facility and committed secured warehouse lines of credit. The Company's principal sources of long-term funding are the convertible senior subordinated notes and its financings under mortgage-backed/asset-backed notes.

        The Company believes that, based on current forecasts and anticipated market conditions, sufficient operating cash flow will be generated to meet substantially all operating needs, to make planned capital expenditures and to make all required interest payments on indebtedness. However, the Company's operating cash flows and liquidity are significantly influenced by numerous factors, including the general economy and, in particular, mining conditions, prices of coal and gas, levels of construction activity, levels of government spending on water projects, costs of raw materials and interest rates.

        At June 30, 2005, non-recourse mortgage-backed/asset-backed notes outstanding totaled $1.7 billion and primarily consisted of seven separate issues of public debt providing financing for instalment notes receivable and mortgage loans purchased by Mid-State. Mortgage debt also includes outstanding borrowings under two $200.0 million warehouse facilities (the "Trust IX Variable Funding Loan Facility" and the "Trust XIV Variable Funding Loan Facility") providing temporary financing to Mid-State for its current purchases of instalment notes from Homebuilding and its purchases of mortgage loans from Walter Mortgage Company. At June 30, 2005, there was $82.6 and $26.1 million outstanding under the Trust IX and Trust XIV Variable Funding Loan Facilities, respectively, and $291.3 million was available for future borrowings.

        As of June 30, 2005, total debt has decreased by $46.3 million compared to December 31, 2004, resulting from principal payments on the various mortgage-backed/asset-backed notes amounting to $138.0 million partially offset by new loan originations from the sale of homes of $71.7 million and net borrowings on the revolving credit facility of $20.0 million.

Convertible Notes and Senior Debt

        In April 2004, the Company issued $175 million of convertible senior subordinated notes, which will mature on May 1, 2024, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The notes are redeemable by the Company at par on or after May 6, 2011. The holders of the notes may require the Company to repurchase some or all of the notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest, if any, initially on May 1, 2014, and subsequently on May 1, 2019, or at any time prior to their maturity following a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture.

        The notes bear interest at 3.75% per annum. Commencing on May 1, 2011, the Company will pay contingent interest for the applicable interest period if the average trading price of the notes during the specified five trading days in the applicable interest period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the notes. The contingent interest payable per note will equal 0.40% per year of the average trading price of such note during the applicable five trading-day reference period. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock, initially at a conversion rate of 56.0303 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $17.85 per share), subject to adjustment and under certain circumstances as outlined in the indenture. Holders can surrender their notes for conversion in any fiscal quarter after the quarter ending June 30, 2004 if the last reported sale price per share of Walter Industries' common stock for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the previous fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price per share of Walter Industries' common stock on such last trading day. Holders may also convert the notes if certain trading price conditions are met, the notes are called for redemption, upon the occurrence of

36



certain corporate transactions or if credit ratings are three or more subcategories below the initial credit rating.

        Other than the occurrence of certain corporate transactions, such as the sale of the Company, the agreement has no provisions that accelerate the maturity of the debt. A significant downgrade of the credit rating of the debt or a suspension of the ratings by both rating agencies would result in an acceleration of the conversion feature of the notes.

        The convertible senior subordinated notes are convertible at the option of the holder through September 30, 2005 having satisfied, as of June 30, 2005, the common stock price condition. The notes may continue to be convertible during future periods if the common stock sales price condition or other conditions are satisfied.

        Proceeds upon issuance of the notes were $168.9 million, net of approximately $6.1 million of underwriting fees and expenses. A portion of the proceeds was used to repay in full the Term Loan, which had a principal balance outstanding of $111.7 million. Using the remaining proceeds and borrowings under the revolving credit facility, the Company repurchased 4,960,784 shares of its common stock for approximately $63.0 million.

        In April 2003, the Company entered into a $500 million bank credit facility (the "2003 Credit Facility") which consisted of a $245 million senior secured revolving credit facility that matures in April 2008 and a $255 million senior secured term loan originally maturing in April 2010. In April 2004, the Company issued $175 million of convertible senior subordinated notes and used a portion of the proceeds to repay the remaining balance of the senior secured term loan. The 2003 Credit Facility is secured by the stock of Walter Industries' subsidiaries and by certain assets (excluding real property) of the Company. The commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility and the interest rate was 0.50% and a floating rate of 350 basis points over LIBOR, respectively, until June 30, 2005. The interest rate on the senior secured loan was a floating rate of 425 basis points over LIBOR. LIBOR was 3.2% and 2.4% at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

        On March 31, 2005, the Company entered into an amendment of its 2003 Credit Facility which increased the revolving credit facility by $20.0 million to a total of $265.0 million and lowered the applicable rate attributed to borrowings, letter of credit fees, and commitment fees; increased the aggregate amount of permitted indebtedness related to capital leases, synthetic lease obligations and purchase money obligations for real property and fixed capital assets from $25.0 million to $50.0 million; provided for up to $200.0 million of subordinated debt; amended the Company's ability to pay dividends and repurchase its common stock to an amount not to exceed in any fiscal year $35.0 million plus 50% of Consolidated Net Income for the immediately preceding fiscal year; allowed the prepayment of subordinated debt under certain conditions; amended the Financial Covenants by (i) increasing the maximum permitted Consolidated Leverage Ratio from 2.75 to 1.0 to 3.50 to 1.0, (ii) adding a new Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio not to exceed 2.50 to 1.0, (iii) deleting the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, and (iv) adding a limitation on Capital Expenditures in each fiscal year; increased the threshold for lender approval for individual cash acquisitions from $50.0 million to $100.0 million; and allowed the Company to increase the Credit Agreement under certain conditions in an aggregate amount not to exceed $110.0 million through increased commitments of existing lenders or the addition of new lenders.

        The 2003 Credit Facility, as amended, contains a number of significant covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and certain subsidiaries to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends and repurchase stock, create liens on assets, enter into capital leases, make investments or acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, or engage in certain transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates and otherwise restrict corporate activities (including a change of control). In addition, under the 2003 Credit Facility, the Company and its Restricted

37



Subsidiaries (as defined in the 2003 Credit Facility) are required to maintain specified financial ratios and comply with certain other financial tests.

        EBITDA, as defined in the 2003 Credit Facility, excludes the EBITDA generated by the Financing subsidiary, and substitutes instead, the cash released to the Company via its ownership of the residual beneficial interest in the financing trusts and the net cash proceeds from the periodic issuance of asset-backed notes. EBITDA also excludes certain non-cash restructuring charges, non-cash write-downs of goodwill and asset impairments. The Company's failure to comply with the covenants in its 2003 Credit Facility could result in an event of default, which, if not cured, amended, or waived, could result in the Company's senior secured debt becoming immediately due and payable. At June 30, 2005, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

        At June 30, 2005, there was $20.0 million outstanding under the $265 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility includes a sub-facility for trade and other standby letters of credit in an amount up to $100.0 million at any time outstanding. At June 30, 2005, letters of credit with a face amount of $73.0 million were outstanding and approximately $172.0 million was available under the revolving credit facility.

        As of June 30, 2005, the Company's 2003 Credit Facility was rated BB by Standard & Poors and Ba2 by Moody's Investor Services, both with a stable outlook. Additionally, the Company's convertible senior subordinated notes were rated B1 by Moody's and B+ by Standard & Poors.

        Both Standard & Poors and Moody's placed the Company's credit ratings on review based on the pending acquisition of Mueller Water Products, Inc. Standard & Poors took the additional action of lowering the Company's credit rating to BB- and the rating of the Company's convertible senior subordinated notes to B.

        The Company expects to finance the acquisition of Mueller with a combination of available cash, borrowings under new credit facilities of the Company and Mueller Group, Inc., a subsidiary of Mueller, pursuant to commitment letters entered into as of June 17, 2005 with Bank of America, N.A., Banc of America Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and Bank of America Bridge LLC. This financing will consist of $625 million in senior secured credit facility for the Company and $1.175 billion in senior secured credit facilities for Mueller Group. The financing also includes backstop commitments for $145 million and $320 million, respectively, to finance any repurchases of 143/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2014 of Mueller and 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 of Mueller Group pursuant to the rights of holders of those securities following the change of control resulting from the consummation of the acquisition to put such securities to their respective issuers in accordance with the respective indentures. The Company does not anticipate borrowing under the backstop commitments. These financing commitments are subject to the completion of the acquisition and customary closing conditions, including entering into definitive loan agreements. The closing is expected in September 2005. Following the closing, the Company's debt is expected to increase by approximately $1.9 billion.

Mid-State Activity

        The Mid-State Trust IX Variable Funding Loan Facility was a $400.0 million warehouse facility, which was reduced to $200.0 million on April 29, 2005, that matures on January 31, 2006. Interest is based on the cost of A-1 and P-1 rated commercial paper plus 0.75%. Other borrowing costs include a facility fee on the unused amount of 0.40%.

        The Mid-State Trust XIV Variable Funding Loan Agreement is a $200.0 million warehouse facility that matures on February 3, 2006. Interest is based on the cost of A-1 and P-1 rated commercial paper plus 0.75%. Other borrowing costs include a facility fee on the unused amount of 0.25%.

38


        Trust IX and Trust XIV ("the Trusts") are Delaware Statutory Trusts whose assets are limited to pledged instalment notes, mortgage notes and mortgages purchased from Mid-State. The Trusts' covenants, among other things, restrict the ability of the Trusts to dispose of assets, create liens and engage in mergers or consolidations. In addition, events of default related to a Reserve Account Event include the mortgage pool exceeding average consecutive three-month delinquency and default ratios of 2.5% and 5.0%. The failure to comply with these and other covenants could result in an event of default, which, if not cured, amended or waived, could result in the entire principal balances and accrued interest becoming immediately due and payable. A default that remains uncured might result in the curtailment of the Company's production activities and negatively affect its ability to securitize its production, which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations. The Trusts were in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2005.

        Mid-State Homes and Walter Mortgage Company are servicers under the Trusts and make customary representations and warranties with regard to their servicing activities. A servicer default under the Trusts, which includes the maintenance of a minimum net worth at Mid-State, if not cured, amended or waived, could result in the servicers being terminated and replaced by a successor servicer. The replacement of Mid-State and WMC would have a negative effect on their financial condition.

        The Company believes that the Mid-State Trust IX Variable Funding Loan Facility, the Mid-State Trust XIV Variable Funding Loan Agreement or similar warehouse lines of credit, will provide Mid-State with the funds needed to purchase the instalment notes and mortgage loans generated by the Homebuilding segment and Walter Mortgage Company.

        In December 2003, Mid-State Capital Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mid-State Holdings Corporation, filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 totaling $1.2 billion for future permanent financings of instalment notes and mortgage loans. It is anticipated that Mid-State will continue to use the Trust IX Variable Funding Loan Facility, the Mid-State Trust XIV Variable Funding Loan Agreement or similar warehouse lines of credit, to finance the purchase of additional instalment notes from the future sales of homes and mortgage loans generated by Walter Mortgage Company. The Company also expects to utilize all or a significant portion of the remaining $906 million under its shelf registration to provide long-term financing of its originated mortgage assets.

Statement of Cash Flows

        Cash totaled $29.2 million and $46.9 million at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The decrease in cash is primarily the result of net pay-downs of debt ($46.3 million) and purchases of property, plant and equipment ($42.2 million), which exceeded cash flows provided by operating activities ($43.6 million) and cash flow provided by other investing and financing activities.

        Cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $43.6 million compared with $17.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in cash flows provided by continuing operations was principally due to increased income from continuing operations of $57.0 million and a $13.7 million tax benefit from the exercise of employee stock options, partially offset by an increase in net working capital.

        Capital expenditures, net of retirements, totaled $42.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 related principally to underground mining and natural gas well equipment at Natural Resources and molding equipment at Industrial Products. Commitments for capital expenditures at June 30, 2005 were not significant; however, it is estimated that gross capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2005 will approximate $136 million. Actual expenditures in 2005 may be more or less than this amount, depending upon the level of earnings and cash flow, or expansion opportunities in certain markets.

39



        For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company paid approximately $6.8 million of interest on corporate debt. For the year ending December 31, 2005, the Company estimates that total cash interest payments related to corporate debt will be approximately $13.6 million.

        On July 29, 2005, the Board of Directors declared a $0.04 per share dividend payable on September 13, 2005 to shareholders of record on August 12, 2005.

MARKET RISK

        The Company's primary market risk exposures relate to (i) restricted short-term investments, (ii) interest rate risk during the build-up of assets in the mortgage warehouse lines, (iii) prepayments on the instalment notes receivable portfolio, (iv) interest rate risk on short and long-term borrowings, (v) interest rate risk on pension and other post employment benefit obligations, (vi) commodity risks associated with the purchase of raw materials and hedge contracts with respect to the purchase and sales of natural gas, and (vii) interest rate risk associated with hedge contracts with respect to the issuance of mortgage-backed securities. There have been no material changes, other than those described below, to the information in "Item 7a. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk" described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

        The Company's exposure to interest rate risk has been reduced due to the issuance of fixed-rate convertible senior subordinated notes and the payoff of the variable-rate Term Loan during April 2004.

        The Company's fixed-rate instalment notes receivables and mortgage loans were $1.715 billion and fixed-rate mortgage-backed/asset-backed notes were $1.589 billion as of June 30, 2005. The fixed rate nature of these instruments and their offsetting positions effectively mitigate significant interest rate risk exposure from these instruments although changes in interest rates could affect the fair value of such instruments. If interest rates decrease, the Company may be exposed to higher prepayment speeds. This could result in a modest increase in short-term profitability. However, it could adversely impact long-term profitability as a result of a shrinking portfolio. Changes in interest rates may impact the fair value of these financial instruments.

        The level of prepayments on the fixed rate instalment notes will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Income generated from prepayments will vary each period based on the current interest rate environment and the interest rates associated with the outstanding instalment notes.

        On January 31, 2005, the Company entered into two $50 million hedge transactions with two separate counter-parties. The objective of the hedge is to protect against the negative effect that rising interest rates would have on the Company's future forecasted issuance of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of the hedge is a 7.5-year forward starting swap, which starts on December 1, 2005, the forecasted issuance date of the Company's next securitization. The swap agreements call for the Company to make fixed rate payments over the term at 4.573% per annum and receive payments based on one month LIBOR from the counter-parties. It is anticipated that the swap will be settled upon the next securitization and will be accounted for as a cash flow hedge. As such, changes in the fair value of the swap that take place through the date of securitization will be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, assuming the securitization remains likely. As of June 30, 2005, the Company recorded an unrealized loss from these hedging instruments of $1.9 million as a component of other comprehensive income.

        On July 25, 2005, the Company entered into a swap contract to hedge anticipated sales of natural gas from August 2005 through February 2006 totaling 1.4 million mmbtu, or 34% of expected natural gas production, at a price of $8.54 per mmbtu. These swap contracts effectively convert a portion of forecasted sales at floating-rate natural gas prices to a fixed-rate basis.

40



        On August 4, 2005, the Company entered into a swap contract to hedge anticipated sales of natural gas from November 2005 through March 2006 totaling 0.5 million mmbtu, or 12% of expected natural gas production, at a price of $9.365 per mmbtu. These swap contracts effectively convert a portion of forecasted sales at floating-rate natural gas prices to a fixed-rate basis.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        In December 2004, the FASB released revised FASB No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment", ("FAS 123R") which requires companies to expense the fair value of employee stock options and other forms of stock-based compensation. FAS 123R will be adopted by the Company beginning January 1, 2006. The Company expects to utilize the modified prospective application method of adoption, which excludes restatement of prior periods in the year of adoption. The impact of the adoption of FAS 123R on the 2006 financial statements has not yet been determined. However, see Note 3 for information related to the pro forma effects on the Company's reported net income and net income per share of applying the fair value recognition provisions of the previous FAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."

        In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations" ("FIN 47"), which is an interpretation of FASB No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("FAS 143"). This interpretation clarifies terminology within FAS 143 and requires companies to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability's fair value can be reasonably estimated. This interpretation does not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

        In June 2005, the FASB issued FASB No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3" ("FAS 154"), which changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. FAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. FAS 154 also requires that a change in method of depreciation, amortization or depletion for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate that is effected by a change in accounting principle. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, but does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a transition phase as of the effective date of FAS 154. The adoption of FAS 154 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Restatement of Financial Statements

        As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q/A, the Company has restated its consolidated financial statements for the quarterly and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

        The restatement reflects adjustments in the statement of operations related to the classification of shipping and handling costs in order for the classification of such costs to be compliant with Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Consensus No. 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs," at the Industrial Products, Natural Resources and Other segments. The Company's prior method of accounting for certain freight costs to deliver products to the customer's designated location was to include these costs as a deduction from net sales and revenues. The restatement to correct the classification of such costs to cost of sales had no impact on income from continuing operations, net income or earnings per share for any of the periods restated.

41



Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2005. Based on that evaluation and because of the material weakness described below, our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2005 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Notwithstanding the material weakness described below, the Company's management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q/A report fairly present in all material respects the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

        A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not maintain effective controls to ensure the appropriate classification and presentation of costs included in its consolidated statement of operations. Specifically, effective controls were not designed and in place to ensure the appropriate classification of shipping and handling costs as a component of cost of sales rather than as a deduction from net sales and revenues. This control deficiency resulted in the restatement of the Company's 2003 and 2004 annual consolidated financial statements and the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for first three quarterly periods in 2005. Additionally, this control deficiency could result in a misstatement of the aforementioned accounts that would result in a material misstatement in our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness as of December 31, 2004 and through September 30, 2005.

Remediation of Material Weakness

        During the fourth quarter of 2005, management remediated the above material weakness. Remedial actions included the following:

    1.
    In connection with the acquisition of Mueller Water Products, Inc., management emphasized the operation of its controls surrounding the mapping of the Company's general ledger accounts to the consolidated financial statements to ensure the appropriate mapping and classification.

    2.
    Hiring of a new Vice President of Corporate Accounting in the fourth quarter of 2005.

    3.
    Evaluation by this Vice President of Corporate Accounting of all of the Company's accounting and reporting policies against current authoritative standards.

        As of the date of filing this amendment on Form 10-Q/A, management has concluded that the above described material weakness was remediated.

Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

        There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

      See Note 15 in this Form 10-Q/A for a description of current legal proceedings.

      The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to a number of other lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of their businesses. Most of these cases are in a preliminary stage and the Company is unable to predict a range of possible loss, if any. The Company provides for costs relating to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable (See Note 15 in this Form 10-Q/A). The effect of the outcome of these matters on the Company's future results of operations cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount and timing of the resolution of such matters. While the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the final outcome of such other litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position.

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

      Purchase of Equity Securities by the Company and Affiliated Purchasers.

      During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, there were no share repurchases and at June 30, 2005, $7.5 million remains available under the Common Stock share repurchase program. During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Company has not determined to terminate the program.
