ITEM 1.   CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT

     On February 26, 2001, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire"), a
Delaware corporation through J Acquisition Corporation ("Purchaser"), a
Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire,
accepted for purchase 130,224,340 shares of the common stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the "Shares"), of Johns Manville Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), that had been validly tendered and not
withdrawn (including shares tendered via guaranteed delivery) pursuant to
Purchaser's tender offer for all of the outstanding Shares at $13.00 per
Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest (the "Offer"). The Offer
was made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement"), dated as of December 19, 2000, by and among the Company,
Purchaser and Berkshire, which provides for, among other things, the making
of the Offer by Purchaser and, following the consummation of the Offer, the
merger of Purchaser with and into the Company (the "Merger"). The Shares
purchased pursuant to the Offer constituted approximately 94.7% of the
Shares then issued and outstanding. In addition, Berkshire already owned
4,788,900 Shares representing aproximately 3.5% of the issued and
outstanding Shares.

      On February 27, 2001, the Merger provided for by the Merger Agreement
became effective. Pursuant to the Merger, Shares which were not validly
tendered pursuant to the Offer and accepted for purchase by Purchaser (and
whose holders have not sought appraisal of their Shares in accordance with
applicable provisions of Delaware law) were converted into the right to
receive $13.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, upon delivery of
appropriate documentation to the Paying Agent for the Merger. As a result
of the Merger, Berkshire owns 100% of the outstanding Shares of the
Company.

            Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
