<P><FONT SIZE=2>To
the Plan Administrator of<BR>
Georgia Gulf Corporation<BR>
Aberdeen Hourly Savings and Investment Plan: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>We
have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>ABERDEEN HOURLY SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> as of
December&nbsp;31, 2000 and 1999 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2000 and the period from November&nbsp;12,
1999 (Plan Inception) through December&nbsp;31, 1999. These financial statements and schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's administrator. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>We
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>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&nbsp;31, 2000 and 1999 and
the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2000 and the period from November&nbsp;12, 1999 (Plan Inception) through December&nbsp;31, 1999 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Our
audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule of assets (held at end of year) and the schedule of assets held for
investment purposes are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our 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. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>1. PLAN DESCRIPTION  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following description of the Aberdeen Hourly Savings and Investment Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the
official plan document for complete information. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B> General  </B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Plan was established effective November&nbsp;12, 1999 ("Plan Inception") in connection with the acquisition of CONDEA Vista,&nbsp;Inc. by Georgia Gulf
Corporation (the "Company"). The Plan is a defined contribution plan maintained by AMVESCAP National Trust Company (the "Trustee") and covers certain employees of Georgia Gulf Chemicals and Vinyls,
LLC, ("Vinyls"), a subsidiary of Georgia Gulf Corporation located in Aberdeen, Mississippi. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), as
amended. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
conjunction with the CONDEA Vista,&nbsp;Inc. acquisition, the net assets of the CONDEA Vista Savings and Investment Plan merged into the Plan in the 2000 plan year. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B> Eligibility  </B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Employees of Vinyls who are subject to the collective bargaining agreement between Vinyls and the United Steelworkers of America,
AFL-CIO-CLU Local Union 15198 are eligible to participate in the Plan. Leased employees and nonresident aliens, as defined, are not eligible to participate in the Plan.
Eligibility begins on the first day of the month coinciding with or immediately following the date of employment, provided that the individual meets the above requirements. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B> Contributions  </B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Participants may elect to contribute up to 15% (before-tax) of their eligible compensation, as defined by the Plan, subject to limitations imposed
by the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). In addition, participants may make after-tax contributions up to 16% of their eligible compensation. The maximum percentage of after-tax
contributions, when aggregated with pretax contributions, may not exceed 16% of the participant's eligible compensation. Participants may also contribute amounts representing any distributions from
other qualified pension plans. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company contributes 6% of eligible compensation for any participants contributing at least 3% of eligible compensation. The Company may also elect to make discretionary
contributions, which shall be determined annually by the Company. A participant's allocable share of the discretionary contribution is based on the ratio of his/her annual compensation to the annual
compensation for all eligible participants in the plan year. The Company did not elect to make a discretionary contribution for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2000 and the period from Plan
Inception through December&nbsp;31, 1999. All company contributions are participant-directed. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B> Participant Accounts  </B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Individual accounts are maintained for each of the Plan's participants to reflect the participant's share of the Plan's income (loss), the Company's
contribution, the participant's contribution, and administrative expenses. Allocations of income (loss) and administrative expenses are based on participant account balances, as defined by the Plan. </FONT></P>

the applicable requirements of the IRC. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is
currently designed and is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements. </FONT></P>
