                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 1994
                                        
                                        
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   A summary of the company's significant accounting policies is presented on
page 21 of its 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.  Users of financial
information produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the
footnotes contained in the Annual Report to Shareholders when reviewing interim
financial results.  There has been no material change in the accounting policies
followed by the company during 1994.

   In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements
contain all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position,
results of operations, cash flows, and shareholders' equity of Justin
Industries, Inc. for interim periods.

LONG-TERM DEBT

   Certain loan agreements contain minimum requirements as to working capital,
cash flow from operations, and tangible net worth, redemption of outstanding
stock, and change in control of the company.  As of March 31, 1994, the company
was in compliance with all such requirements and restrictions.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

   Earnings per share are based on the average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during each period and such shares issuable upon assumed exercise of
stock options, using the treasury stock method, adjusted for stock splits.  The
number of shares used in the calculation of earnings per share was 27,864,000 in
1994 and 28,032,000 in 1993.  Earnings and dividends per share for 1993 have
been restated to reflect a 2-for-1 stock split effective May 18, 1993.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   SALES - Consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1994 of
$109.9 million were .2% below the record high of $110.1 million in 1993's first
quarter.

      BUILDING MATERIALS SEGMENT SALES - Sales in the Building Materials
   segment increased $9 million or 23.9% over the first quarter of 1993 as
   each of the businesses, Acme Brick Company ("Acme"), Featherlite
   Building Products Corporation ("Featherlite") and Tradewinds
   Technologies, Inc. (Tradewinds), posted significant increases.
   Continuing increases in the level of residential construction and
   relatively mild winter weather enabled Acme to ship more brick than in
   any previous first quarter in history.  Revenues were also positively
   affected by overall higher brick prices than one year ago due to pricing
   increases throughout 1993.  Acme's sales of purchased products also
   reached a new first quarter record.  Commercial construction activity in
   areas served by Featherlite is also ahead of last year's pace.  This
   market growth provided the impetus for improved concrete block and cut
   limestone sales levels.  Tradewinds' first quarter revenues were also an
   all-time high.  Sales were boosted by favorable weather and new
   products.
   
      FOOTWEAR SEGMENT SALES - Total Footwear sales for the three months
   ended March 31, 1994 declined 12.8% to $63 million from 1993's first
   quarter record high of $72.3 million.  All three operations, Justin Boot
   Company, Nocona Boot Company and Tony Lama Company, Inc., experienced a
   slower first quarter in 1994.  While the expected strength of the core
   market western boot business and continued growth in the Chippewa
   product line have materialized, sales in the fashion market declined.
   This slowdown was exacerbated by the severe weather conditions in the
   Northeast and the Southern California earthquake.

   COSTS AND EXPENSES - The consolidated ratio of cost of goods sold to sales
was 66.3% in the first quarter of 1994 versus 69% in the 1993 comparable period.
Building Materials' ratio of cost of sales to sales was 59.3% in the first
quarter of 1994, compared to 67% in the first quarter of 1993.  The primary
reason for this improvement was higher average brick prices and greater unit
sales and production volume at Acme.  The ratio of cost of goods sold to sales
in the Footwear businesses was 71.6% versus 70% in 1993.  The most significant
factor affecting the margin decline was the reduction in sales volume.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 23.3% of sales in
the first quarter of 1994 compared to 21.9% in the first quarter of 1993.
Approximately one-half of the increase was due to general inflation, with the
remainder attributable to higher costs in the Building Materials operations
necessary to support increased levels of business.

   Interest expense declined 16.6% in the first quarter to $801,000 from
$960,000 in the first three months of 1993.  The reduction is attributable to
lower average debt levels during the period as the average effective rates were
virtually the same.

   PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES - The Company's provision for income tax was 37%
of pre-tax income in the first quarter of 1994, which is the current estimated
effective rate for the full year.  In 1993's first quarter, a rate of 38% was
used.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

   At March 31, 1994, working capital amounted to $175 million versus $185.2
million at December 31, 1993.  Cash decreased from $10.6 million at year end to
$1.6 million at the end of 1994's first quarter.  These funds were used to pay
down debt.  Other components of working capital experienced normal seasonal
changes.  Accounts receivable declined due to significant payments by Footwear
customers early in the year, and inventories increased from the seasonal lows at
year end.

   Cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 1994 totalled
$9.6 million.  These funds were used primarily to reduce debt, acquire fixed
assets and pay dividends.

   In the first quarter of 1994, total interest-bearing debt declined to $78.8
million from $93.4 million at year end 1993.  This reduction lowered the ratio
of long-term debt-to-equity to .37 to 1 from .47 to 1 at year end.  Borrowings
should increase over the next two quarters to finance the seasonal working
capital needs.  At March 31, 1994, unused credit facilities totalled $58
million, an amount well above the company's estimated requirements.

   Cash dividends declared in the first quarter of 1994 and 1993 amounted to
$.04 a share.
