      shares of Common Stock underlying the option.

(2)   Exercise price exceeded closing price at December 31, 1995.


DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The Company's directors hold office until the next annual meeting
of shareholders and until their successors have been duly elected
and qualified. The Company's officers are elected annually by the
Board of Directors and serve at the discretion of the Board. There
are no arrangements or understandings with respect to the selection
of officers or directors. The Company pays each director other than
Mr. Smith an annual retainer of $4,000.  Non employee directors who
serve on the Compensation Committee or Audit Committee are paid an
annual fee of $1,000 or $500, depending on the level of
responsibility they assume.

Pursuant to the 1992 Directors' Stock Option Plan (the 'Directors'
Plan'), the Company's non-employee directors were granted options
to purchase 8,000 shares of Common Stock upon the approval of the
Directors' Plan by shareholders. A new non-employee director would
receive a similar option upon the commencement of service as a
director. In addition, each non-employee director is granted
options to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock after each annual
meeting of the Company, pursuant to the Directors' Plan. For
purposes of the Directors' Plan, a director is a non-employee
director if he does not receive regular compensation from the
Company or its subsidiaries other than directors fees and
reimbursement for expenses, even if such director is an officer of
a subsidiary of the Company.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The Compensation Committee members are Robert Kester and Robert A.
Steele.

Robert A. Steele (a director and shareholder of the Company) has a
2% interest in an oceangoing bulk cement ship in which the Company

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

In 1989, an Antiguan subsidiary of the Company obtained a minority
interest in a partnership that acquired a manufacturer of
acoustical ceiling tiles in Matamoros, Mexico and that is engaged
in the sale, distribution and marketing of such tiles.  The
subsidiary invested approximately $1.2 million in the partnership
for a 29 percent interest and two of the Company's officers and
directors, Messrs. Smith, Jr. and Hornsby, obtained an 11 percent
interest for which they paid $450,000.  In January 1994, another
Antiguan subsidiary of the Company became the new general partner
of the partnership and was assigned all the rights and assumed all
the liabilities of the former Antiguan subsidiary with respect to
the partnership.  In connection with an amendment of the
partnership agreement, the Antiguan subsidiary and the Company, as
applicable, contributed a note receivable of $505,000 from the
partnership into equity and contributed approximately $235,000 of
equipment to the partnership.  The Antiguan subsidiary's ownership
interest in the partnership was increased to 64.47 percent.  The
ownership interest of Messrs. Smith, Jr. and Hornsby was reduced to
6.47 percent.

Robert A. Steele (a director and shareholder of the Company) has a
2% interest in an oceangoing bulk cement ship in which the Company
has a 98% interest.

The Company leases a 4.4 acre parcel of real property from Mr.
Smith, pursuant to which Mr. Smith received $46,512 in annual rent
in 1995.

The Company has borrowed $4.6 million from Donald L. Smith, Jr. 
One note has an outstanding balance of approximately $4.5 million,
is unsecured, bears interest at the prime interest rate and is due
in full on January 1, 1997.  The other note has a balance of
$100,000, is secured by equipment, bears interest at 8 percent per
annum and is due in monthly principal installments of $10,000, plus
interest through February 1997.

The Company believes that, to the extent applicable, the foregoing
transactions were on terms no less favorable to the Company than
those that could have been obtained from independent third parties.
