                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



The Supervisory Board and the Managing Board of Thomas Regout Holding N.V.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Thomas Regout
Holding N.V. and subsidiaries as of 30 June 1998 and 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in shareholders'
equity for each of the two years in the period ended 30 June 1998.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in The Netherlands, which do not differ in any material respect from auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  These standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements.  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 statements presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Thomas Regout Holding N.V. and subsidiaries as of 30 June 1997 and 1998, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
two years in the period ended 30 June 1998, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in The Netherlands.

Accounting principles generally accepted in The Netherlands vary in certain
significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.  Application of accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America would have affected shareholders' equity as of 30
June 1997 and 1998 and the net profits for each of the two years in the period
ended 30 June 1998 to the extent summarized on pages 15 and 16 to the
consolidated financial statements.

                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

General

      Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles in The Netherlands and are denominated
in Dutch guilders ("NLG").  Included in the consolidated financial statements of
Thomas Regout Holding N.V. is the financial data of:

- -        Thomas Regout Holding N.V., Maastricht
- -        Thomas Regout Nederland B.V., Maastricht 100%
- -        Thomas Regout B.V., Maastricht        100%
- -        Thomas Regout USA, Inc. Byron Center  100%

For the separate annual financial statements of the Dutch companies, the
exemption in Article 403, paragraph 1 of Book 2 of the Civil Code is used.

      Unaudited interim financial information

Information included in the consolidated financial statements as of September
30, 1998, and for the interim periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1998, is
unaudited.

      Cash flow statement

The consolidated cash flow statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Accounting Standards No. 7.

      Basis for currency translation
Receivables, liquid assets and liabilities, where these are denominated in
foreign currency, are translated at the exchange rates at the end of the fiscal
year, or at the rates at which forward transactions are conducted. The exchange
rate differences involved are directly included in the financial results. Assets
and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries are converted at the exchange rates
at the end of the fiscal year. The resulting exchange rate differences are
directly credited to, or charged against miscellaneous reserves.  The income of
the foreign subsidiaries is converted at the average annual exchange rate during
the fiscal year. Differences between calculated results on the basis of average
annual exchange rates, and the rates on the balance sheet date are also credited
to, or charged against miscellaneous reserves.

     Accounting principles

- -    Intangible fixed assets
     The intangible fixed assets are valued at cost price minus depreciation.


- -    Tangible fixed assets

     The tangible fixed assets are valued at cost price. From these cost prices,
     capital expenditure premiums and/or subsidies have been subtracted, with
     the exception of W.I.R.-premiums. From the thus calculated values,
     depreciation amounts were subtracted.

     Acquisitions before July 1, 1980 are depreciated according to the
     degressive method. Acquisitions after July 1, 1980 are depreciated
     according to the straight-line method. The percentages are based on life
     expectancy.

- -    Inventory
     Raw and ancillary materials are valued at the lower of cost price including
     freight or market price at the end of the fiscal year.
     Work in progress and semi-finished products are valued at cost of
     materials, increased by direct manufacturing cost, depending on the
     finished stage of production. The finished product and the goods for resale
     are valued at the lower of cost or cost price or market price at the end of
     the fiscal year. Cost price includes cost of materials, direct
     manufacturing costs and production overhead. Unmarketable and less
     marketable inventory is valued at the expected selling price.

- -    Receivables

     Trade receivables are valued at nominal value. A reduction for non-
     collectable risks has been applied to these receivables.

- -    Provisions

     Provisions for pensions involve the following obligations:
     -  Awarded active pensions to former employees, or their widows/widowers,
        where these pensions were not reinsured with third parties. The amount
        of these obligations is determined at actuarial value. The notional
        interest used is 4.5%.

     -  The backservice-obligations that are incorporated in the Company
        Pension Fund for the Steel Industry employee-pension insurance are
        calculated in accordance with data that is supplied by this Fund.

     The provision for taxes is based on the difference between the fiscal and
     commercial valuation of the assets and liabilities, in accordance with the
     current rates. In case of a deferred tax asset this will be included under
     other receivables. The provision for profit sharing relates to the portion
     of profit sharing that has not been made payable.
     The other provisions refer to a provision for special risks, a provision
     for self-insurance and a provision for reorganization costs. The provision
     for special risks concerns an equalization reserve, covering multiple
     fiscal years for additional V.U.T. (early retirement) costs. The amount of
     this provision is determined on the basis of the net present value of
     possible costs at retirement. The provision for reorganization costs
     relates to personnel costs in connection with supplementary obligations for
     terminated and yet to be terminated labor contracts.

     Basis for calculation of income

- -    Net sales

     Net sales is the difference between invoiced proceeds to third parties, and
     the direct costs that are associated with these sales.

- -    Costs of raw and ancillary materials and finished goods.  These expenses
     are determined on the basis of historical costs.

- -    Depreciation

     Capitalized intangible fixed assets are depreciated over a period of 5
     years. Depreciation on tangible fixed assets are calculated as a fixed
     percentage, based on life expectancy on the cost price of these fixed
     assets.

- -    Taxes

     Taxes are calculated on the basis of commercial results, taking tax
     incentives into account. Possible compensation for losses is only taken
     into account in the year in which the settlement is made.

- -    Miscellaneous

     On the basis of Article 402, title 9, Book 2 of the Civil Code, a condensed
     income statement of the Company suffices.

Intangible fixed assets

The intangible fixed assets relate to the start-up costs of Thomas Regout USA,
Inc. These costs, which were fully depreciated at June 30, 1997, were
depreciated over a period of 5 years. Developments are as follows:

</TABLE>


In connection with layoffs of personnel, one-time payments were made in 1997/98,
and charged to the reorganization provisions. A part of the provision has been
release to income.

All provisions are long-term, with the exception of the provision for
reorganization costs.

      Long-term liabilities

- -     Financial institutions

      On November 1, 1997, Thomas Regout USA, Inc., in order to refinance fixed
      assets has pledged these fixed assets in a replacement of an existing
      loan with a new loan of USD 4.5 million. No warrantees have been given by
      the parent company. Interest is fixed for 6 years at 8%. Redemption in
      quarterly installments amounts to USD 187,500. The redemption for 1998/99
      has been included under short-term liabilities to financial institutions.

- -     Other loans

      These reflect a loan by a third party in respect of the acquisition by
      Thomas Regout of trade activities and tools. It has been agreed that in
      addition to a down payment in cash, during 3 years, an amount of NLG
      750,000 per year will be paid. On these deferred payments interest will
      be credited of interbank rate plus 1.5%. The payment due in 1998/99 is
      included under short-term liabilities 'other'.

      Shareholders' equity and net profit under U.S. GAAP

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in The Netherlands ("Dutch GAAP") which vary in
certain significant respects from those generally accepted in the United States
("U.S. GAAP").  The following is a summary of the adjustments to net profit and
shareholders' equity that would have been required if U.S. GAAP had been applied
instead of Dutch GAAP in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements.

1.  DEPRECIATION OF GOODWILL

In the 1997/1998 financial year, the Company paid goodwill of NLG 3 million on
the acquisition of rail and other activities in the form of an asset deal.
Under Dutch GAAP, the Company charged this goodwill immediately to shareholders'
equity, net of 35% corporate income tax.  Under U.S. GAAP, goodwill is
capitalized and depreciated on a straight line basis over 20 years.

2.  DEPRECIATION OF INTANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

Under Dutch GAAP, the start-up costs of Thomas Regout USA Inc. were capitalized
by the Company and depreciated on a straight line basis over 5 years.  Under
U.S. GAAP, these costs are expensed as incurred.

3.  ADDITIONAL PENSION PROVISION ACCORDING TO U.S. STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL
    ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ("FAS") NO. 87

The Company operates four pension schemes.  The employees of the Company
participate in the industry-wide pension fund for the Metal Industry.  As an
addition to this industry-wide fund there are surplus schemes for employees and
management and a separate pension scheme for the managing director.  FAS 87
applies only to the surplus schemes for employees and management.  Under Dutch
GAAP, FAS 87 does not apply as compared to U.S. GAAP.

4.  PROVISION FOR INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLES

Not applicable under U.S. GAAP.

5.  INCOME TAX EFFECT OF U.S. GAAP ADJUSTMENTS

Calculated at the nominal tax rate of 35%.

6.  DIVIDENDS PAYABLE

Under Dutch GAAP, dividends are deductible from equity when granted.  Under U.S.
GAAP dividends are deducted from equity when payable.

7.  NET OPERATING TAX LOSS CARRYFORWARDS

The subsidiary Thomas Regout USA Inc. has at 30 June 1998 net operating loss
carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $8.7 million, available
to offset taxable income generated through 2013.  The Company utilized net
operating loss carryforwards of $436,000 in 1997.

For reasons of prudence resulting tax assets were provided for full for both
Dutch GAAP and U.S. GAAP purposes.

The following table summarizes the significant adjustments to consolidated
shareholders' equity and net profits which would result from application of U.S.

       NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

                               September 30, 1998


Note 1 - Basis of presentation:

     The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
September 30, 1998 has been prepared assuming the Company's acquisition of 100%
of the outstanding shares of TRH, more fully described in Item 2 and Item 7(c)
to this Current Report on Form 8-K, had occurred on September 30, 1998.  The
acquisition is accounted for by the purchase method of accounting.

     The historical consolidated financial statements of TRH contained elsewhere
in this Current Report on Form 8-K are denominated in Dutch guilders and have
been prepared in accordance with Dutch generally accepted accounting principles
("Dutch GAAP").  As explained in the accompanying notes to TRH's historical
consolidated financial statements, Dutch GAAP varies in certain significant
respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
("U.S. GAAP").  Amounts shown for "TRH historical" in the Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet have been derived from TRH's historical
consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1998 included elsewhere in this
Current Report on Form 8-K, as adjusted to give effect to these Dutch GAAP/U.S.
GAAP differences.  In addition, the amounts are presented in U.S. dollars using
the September 30, 1998 exchange rate of 1.88 Dutch guilders per U.S. dollar.

Note 2 - Pro forma adjustments:
     Pro forma adjustments to reflect the acquisition of TRH are described
below.

(a)  CompX pays $52.2 million for 100% of the outstanding shares of capital
     stock of TRH.  The purchase price is funded using cash on hand of $32.2
     million and $20.0 of borrowings under CompX's revolving bank credit
     facility.

(b)  CompX incurs $.6 million in acquisition related costs.

(c)  Allocate purchase price as follows:

</TABLE>


     As explained in the accompanying notes to TRH's historical consolidated
     financial statements, TRH's U.S. subsidiary has approximately $9 million of
     U.S. federal income tax net operating loss carryforwards for which the
     benefit had not been recognized under the "more-likely-than-not"
     recognition criteria of U.S. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
     No. 109.  However, based on the Company's assessment of its ability to
     utilize such net operating loss carryforwards in the future, the Company is
     recognizing the deferred income tax asset associated with such
     carryforwards as part of its purchase price allocation.

     The above purchase price allocation has been allocated to TRH's individual
     assets and liabilities based upon preliminary estimates of fair value.  The
     actual allocation of the purchase price may differ from the preliminary
     allocation due to adjustments to the purchase price and refinements of the
     fair values of the net assets acquired.

(d)  TRH retires its outstanding U.S. indebtedness of $5.9 million.

                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
                       CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME

                        Year ended December 31, 1997 and
                      Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998

Note 1 - Basis of presentation:

     The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the
year ended December 31, 1997 and the nine months ended September 30, 1998 have
been prepared assuming the Company's acquisition of 100% of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of TRH, more fully described in Item 2 and Item 7(c) to
this Current Report on Form 8-K, had occurred as of January 1, 1997.  The
acquisition will be accounted for by the purchase method of accounting.

     As previously reported, (i) in February 1998 the Company entered into a new
$100 million revolving bank credit facility and utilized $50 million of
borrowings to repay a demand note payable to the Company's former parent
company, Valcor, Inc., which demand note was issued to Valcor in December 1997
in the form of a dividend, (ii) in March 1998 the Company acquired Fort Lock
Corporation in a purchase business combination for an aggregate purchase price
of $33 million funded by $25 million of borrowings under the new bank credit
facility and funds on hand, (iii) in March 1998 the Company completed an initial
public offering of 6 million shares of its common stock and utilized a portion
of the net proceeds to repay the $75 million of borrowings outstanding under the
new bank credit facility and (iv) granted 164,880 shares of its Class A common
stock (the "Management Shares") to certain key individuals in connection with
the public offering and recognized a $3.3 million pre-tax charge associated with
such grant.  The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Income have been prepared as if all of these transactions had also
occurred on January 1, 1997.  In this regard, (a) the amounts shown for CompX
pro forma for the year ended December 31, 1997 reflect the transactions
described in (i) through (iv) above and are shown in the Company's Unaudited Pro
Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-42643) and (b) the amounts
shown for CompX pro forma for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 reflect
the transactions described in (i) through (iii) above and are shown in the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 16, 1998 (File No. 1-13905).
The pro forma impact of the Company's November 1998 acquisition of another lock
competitor is not significant.

     The historical consolidated financial statements of TRH contained elsewhere
in this Current Report on Form 8-K are denominated in Dutch guilders and have
been prepared in accordance with Dutch generally accepted accounting principles
("Dutch GAAP").  As explained in the accompanying notes to TRH's historical
consolidated financial statements, Dutch GAAP varies in certain significant
respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
("U.S. GAAP").  Amounts shown for "TRH historical" in the Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income have been derived from TRH's
historical consolidated statements of income included elsewhere in this Current
Report on Form 8-K, as adjusted to give effect to these Dutch GAAP/U.S. GAAP
differences.  In addition, the amounts are presented in U.S. dollars using
weighted average exchange rates of 1.94 Dutch guilders per U.S. dollar for the
year ended December 31, 1997 and 2.04 Dutch guilders per U.S. dollar for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998.


     The shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share is based
upon the 16.1 million shares of the Company's common stock outstanding after
completion of its initial public offering, plus an assumed 100,000 shares for
the estimated dilutive impact of outstanding stock options.

Note 2 - Pro forma adjustments:

     Pro forma adjustments to reflect the acquisition of TRH and other pro forma
adjustments are described below.

     (a)  Amortization of goodwill related to the acquisition of TRH by the
          straight-line method over 20 years.

     (b)  Increase in interest expense resulting from assumed borrowings of $20
          million using effective interest rates of 5.9% for the year ended
          December 31, 1997 and 5.7% for the nine months ended September 30,
          1998.

     (c)  Increase in depreciation expense resulting from amortization of
          purchase accounting basis differences allocated to buildings using the
          average remaining useful life of 11 years.

     (d)  Eliminate interest expense resulting from the assumed retirement of
          TRH's U.S. debt.

     (e)  Reverse the Management Share charge included in the 1998 pro forma
          results for CompX because such charge is assumed to have been recorded
          as of January 1, 1997.

     (f)  Income tax expense related to pro forma adjustments (b) through (e) at
          applicable income tax rates (35% for adjustments related to The
          Netherlands and 37%, the combined U.S. federal and state tax rates,
          for adjustments related to the U.S.).
