                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (unaudited)



1. In the opinion of management, information furnished herein reflects all
   adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and
   results of operations for the interim periods.  There have been no changes in
   the significant accounting policies as discussed in Note 1 of Notes to
   Financial Statements contained in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form
   10-K.

2. Earnings per common equivalent share (common shares adjusted for dilutive
   effect of common stock options) have been computed by dividing net income for
   each period by the weighted-average equivalent shares of common stock
   outstanding.

3. In February 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
   Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share".  SFAS
   No. 128 is required to be implemented for financial statements for both
   interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997.  Based on a review
   of the requirements of SFAS No. 128, management does not anticipate any
   material change in previously reported earnings per share.

4. Certain prior year amounts have been restated to conform to the current
   year's presentation.

Revenues in the Construction Materials Division were $110.5 million in the
second quarter of 1997, up $11.1 million, or 11% compared with the corresponding
1996 period.  Revenues were $194.4 million in the first six months of 1997, an
increase of $19.8 million, or 11% compared with the same period in 1996.  The
revenue increase for the current quarter and six-month period was primarily due
to higher sales volumes for aggregates, asphalt and ready mixed concrete
operations and higher average selling prices for aggregates and ready mixed
concrete operations.

The Division's pre-tax income from operations for the quarter increased to $9.5
million from $7.5 million in the year earlier quarter.  The improved earnings
are primarily the result of higher profits from our aggregates operations, due
to 9% higher sales volumes and 7% higher average selling prices.  Most of the
earnings improvement from aggregates came from the Company's Southern California
operations.  Earnings from ready mixed concrete operations were slightly higher
due to 7% higher sales volumes and 2% higher average selling prices, partially
offset by 3% higher unit production costs.  Earnings from asphalt operations
were also slightly higher due to 7% higher sales volumes and 2% lower unit
production costs, partially offset by 2% lower average selling prices.

The Division's pre-tax income from operations for the six months increased to
$9.8 million from $7.2 million in the 1996 period.  The improvement was
primarily the result of higher earnings from our aggregates operations, due to
10% higher sales volumes and 8% higher average selling prices.  Most of the
earnings improvement from aggregates came from the Company's Southern California
operations.  Earnings from the ready mixed concrete operations were slightly
higher due to 2% higher sales volumes and 3% higher average selling prices,
partially offset by 3% higher unit production costs.  Earnings from asphalt
operations were essentially flat despite an 11% increase in sales volumes
because of slightly lower average selling prices and slightly higher unit
production costs.

Properties Division
- - -------------------

Revenues in the Properties Division, excluding gains on sales of real estate,
were $5.2 million in the second quarter of 1997, down $0.4 million from revenues
of $5.6 million in the corresponding 1996 period, and $10.1 million in the first
six months of 1997, down $0.8 million from revenues of $10.9 million in the
first six months of 1996.  The decrease in revenue for the current quarter and
six-month period was primarily due to decreased revenue from landfill operations
and developed properties which, in turn, was caused by recent sales of such
properties.

Properties Division - continued
- - -------------------            

The Division's pre-tax income from operations was $3.1 million for the second
quarter compared with $3.6 million in the prior year's second quarter. Included
in the current quarter are $0.6 million of gains from real estate sales,
compared with gains  of $1.1 million in the prior year's quarter.  Pre-tax
income from operations was $6.3 million in the first six months of 1997 compared
with $6.6 million in the prior period.  Gains from real estate sales of $1.6
million are included in 1997 versus gains of $1.8 million in 1996.


Other
- - -----

Interest expense was $0.7 million higher in the second quarter of 1997 compared
with the prior year's quarter, and $1.6 million higher in the first six months
of 1997, compared with the prior year, due to higher levels of average debt
outstanding and higher weighted-average interest rates.  The higher average
interest rate results from a long-term debt refinancing accomplished in late
1996 at favorable long-term rates.

Other income in the second quarter and in the first six months of 1997 includes
a $1.1 million refund received as settlement of a prior year tax claim of a
former subsidiary.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents were $6.0 million at June 30, 1997 compared with $17.1
million at December 31, 1996. Cash provided by operating activities was $2.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  Cash used for investing
activities was $12.6 million, including $18.8 million used for the purchase of
property, plant and equipment. Cash used for financing activities was $4.0
million.

Working capital totaled $52.9 million at June 30, 1997, up from $52.7 million at
December 31, 1996.  Current ratios were 1.8 and 1.9 at June 30, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, respectively.

Total consolidated long-term and short-term borrowings at June 30, 1997 and
December 31, 1996 were $116.1 million and $116.3 million, respectively.  Debt as
a percent of total capitalization was 25.8% and 25.9%, at June 30, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, respectively.

                          Part II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
- - ---------------------------

 In March and September of 1995, unfair labor practice claims were filed against
 the Company, alleging that the Company had committed certain unfair labor
 practices relating to the Southern California I.U.O.E. Local 12 labor strike,
 which began in July 1995.  The Regional Director of the National Labor
 Relations Board (NLRB) ruled that the allegations against the Company were
 without merit and dismissed the case.  The I.U.O.E. Local 12 appealed the case
 to the NLRB Office of Appeals.  On May 23, 1997 an NLRB Administrative Law
 Judge recommended a ruling in favor of the I.U.O.E. Local 12.  The Company has
 filed exceptions to the recommendation and is awaiting the decision of the
 NLRB.  Management continues to believe that the Company will ultimately prevail
 in this proceeding, but if unsuccessful, the Company intends to appeal the
 matter to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeal.  The Company is unable, at this
 time, to estimate the total damages that could result if the Company ultimately
 does not prevail in this matter.


ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES
- - -------------------------------

 At its regularly scheduled meeting on July 22, 1997, the Board of Directors of
 the Company approved an amendment to the Rights Agreement, originally adopted
 on September 22, 1987.  The amendment includes an extension of the Rights Plan
 for ten years, a provision for a cashless exercise of the Rights, and a
 provision requiring the concurrence of a majority of the continuing directors
 to amend or supplement the Rights Plan whenever approval is required for a
 redemption of the Rights.

                    AMENDMENT #2 dated as of July 22, 1997, to the RIGHTS
               AGREEMENT dated as of September 22, 1987, between CALMAT CO., a
               Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and FIRST CHICAGO TRUST
               COMPANY OF NEW YORK, a national banking association, as Rights
               Agent (the "Rights Agent").


          WHEREAS, the Company and the Rights Agent entered into that certain
Rights Agreement dated as of September 22, 1987 (as amended, the "Rights
Agreement"); and

          WHEREAS, the Company and the Rights Agent amended the Rights Agreement
on October 26, 1992 (Amendment No. 1); and

          WHEREAS, the Company and the Rights Agent deem it desirable to further
amend the Rights Agreement as set forth herein.


          NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to Section 26 of the Rights Agreement and in
consideration of the promises and mutual covenants set forth in the Rights
Agreement and this Amendment, the parties hereby agree as follows:

          Section 1.  Amendments to Rights Agreement.  The Rights Agreement is
                      -------------------------------                         
hereby amended as follows:


          (a)  Clause (i) of Section 7(a) is hereby revised to read, in its
entirety, as follows:

          "(i) the close of business on September 30, 2007 (the "Final
          Expiration Date"),"

          (b)  Section 11 is hereby amended by adding the following at the end
thereof:

               "(n) (i)  The Board of Directors of the Company may, at its
          option, at any time after a Person becomes an Acquiring Person,
          mandatorily exchange all or part of the then outstanding and
          exercisable Rights (which shall not include Rights that shall have
          become null and void and nontransferable pursuant to the provisions of
          Section 11(a)(ii)(B)) for consideration per Right consisting of either
          one-half of the securities that would be issuable
<PAGE>
 
          at such time upon the exercise of one Right in accordance with Section
          11(a)(ii) or, if applicable, the cash consideration specified in
          Section 11(a)(iii) (the consideration issuable per Right pursuant to
          this Section 11(n)(i) being the 'Exchange Consideration'). If the
          Board of Directors of the Company elects to exchange all the Rights
          for Exchange Consideration pursuant to this Section 11(n)(i) prior to
          the physical distribution of the Rights Certificates, the Corporation
          may distribute the Exchange Consideration in lieu of distributing
          Right Certificates, in which case for purposes of this Rights
          Agreement holders of Rights shall be deemed to have simultaneously
          received and surrendered for exchange Right Certificates on the date
          of such distribution.

               (ii)  Any action of the Board of Directors of the Company
          ordering the exchange of any Rights pursuant to Section 11(n)(i) shall
          be irrevocable and, immediately upon the taking of such action and
          without any further action and without any notice, the right to
          exercise any such Right pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) shall terminate
          and the only right thereafter of a holder of such Right shall be to
          receive the Exchange Consideration in exchange for each such Right
          held by such holder or, if the Exchange Consideration shall not have
          been paid or issued, to exercise any such Right pursuant to Section
          13.  The Company shall promptly give public notice of any such
          exchange; provided, however, that the failure to give, or any defect
                    --------  -------                                         
          in, such notice shall not affect the validity of such exchange.  The
          Company promptly shall mail a notice of any such exchange to all
          holders of such Rights at their last addresses as they appear upon the
          registry books of the Rights Agent.  Any notice which is mailed in the
          manner herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the
          holder receives the notice.  Each such notice of exchange will state
          the method by which the exchange of the Rights for the Exchange
          Consideration will be effected and, in the event of any partial
          exchange, the number of Rights which will be exchanged.  Any partial
          exchange shall be effected pro rata based on the number of Rights
          (other than Rights which shall have become null and void and
          nontransferable pursuant to the provisions of Section 11(a)(ii)(B))
          held by each holder of Rights."
<PAGE>
 
          (c)  The third sentence of Section 26 is hereby revised to read, in
its entirety, as follows:

          "Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary,
          (1) no supplement or amendment shall be made which changes the
          Redemption Price, the Purchase Price or the number of Common Shares
          for which a Right is exercisable and (2) during any time that the
          approval of Continuing Directors is required for a redemption of the
          Rights as provided under Section 23(a), any amendment or supplement to
          this Agreement can only be effected if there are Continuing Directors
          then in office and such amendment or supplement shall have been
          approved by a majority of such Continuing Directors."


          Section 2.  Amendment to Right Certificate.  The Rights Agent is
                      -------------------------------                     
hereby directed, immediately prior to any Distribution Date, to make such
amendments to the form of Right Certificate, attached to the Rights Agreement,
to conform with the Rights Agreement as amended by this Amendment and any
subsequent amendments.


          Section 3.  Full Force and Effect.  Except as expressly amended
                      ----------------------                             
hereby, the Rights Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in
accordance with the provisions thereof on the date hereof.


          Section 4.  Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be governed by and
                      --------------                                         
construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware applicable to
contracts to be made and performed entirely within such State.


          Section 5. Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number
                     -------------                                              
of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed
to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one
and the same instrument.



          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Rights Agent have caused this
Amendment to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.
