                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 1995
                                        
                                        
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   A summary of the company's significant accounting policies is presented on
page 21 of its 1994 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 1995.

   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, 1995, 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 27,728,000 in
1995 and 27,864,000 in 1994.

           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, 1995, of
$113.7 million were 3.4% above the $109.9 million in 1994's first quarter.

      Building Materials Segment Sales - Sales in the Building Materials
   segment increased $9.2 million or 19.6% over the first quarter of 1994.
   The entire increase in revenues was attributable to American Tile Supply
   Company ("American Tile") which was acquired in August 1994.  Acme Brick
   Company ("Acme") and Tradewinds Technologies, Inc. ("Tradewinds") each
   posted modest declines in sales that were offset by gains at Featherlite
   Building Products Corporation ("Featherlite").
   
      American Tile's sales for the first quarter of 1995 include a new
   Houston location and strong sales system wide.  Acme's sales for the
   current quarter declined due to a reduction in housing starts in its
   market area and wet weather offset by somewhat higher selling prices.
   Higher mortgage rates have negatively impacted housing starts
   nationwide.  During the first quarter of 1995, housing starts in Acme's
   territory were down by 15%, while brick shipments declined 8% compared
   to a year ago.  The decline was moderated due to improved market
   penetration and an increase in commercial construction in Acme's six-
   state area. Acme's sales of purchased products also were less than
   1994's first quarter.
   
      Featherlite, who relies more heavily on commercial construction,
   posted gains in both volume and average prices due to improved
   commercial activity in its market areas.  Tradewinds' first quarter
   revenues suffered from unusually wet weather in the first quarter of
   1995 compared to the same period a year ago.
   
      Footwear Segment Sales - Total Footwear sales for the three months ended
   March 31, 1995, declined 8.6% to $57.6 million from 1994's first quarter.
   All three operations, Justin Boot Company, Nocona Boot Company and Tony Lama
   Company, experienced a slower first quarter in 1995.   While the core market
   western boot business continues to be stable and Chippewa(R) sales have
   increased, sales in fashion markets and ladies' lines have declined.

   Costs and Expenses - The consolidated ratio of cost of goods sold to sales
was 65.7% in the first quarter of 1995 versus 66.3% in the 1994 comparable
period.  Building Materials' ratio of cost of sales to sales was 59.1% in the
first quarter of 1995, compared to 59.3% in the first quarter of 1994.  The
primary reason for this improvement was higher average brick prices.  The ratio
of cost of goods sold to sales in the Footwear businesses was 72.1% versus 71.6%
in 1994.  The most significant factor affecting the Footwear margin decline was
the reconfiguration of the Fort Worth Justin Boot plant during the first quarter
of 1995.  Costs were incurred as the plant was temporarily closed, the workforce
was reduced and production lines were changed to accomodate more efficient
manufacturing techniques.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 26% of sales in the
first quarter of 1995 compared to 23.3% in the first quarter of 1994.  The total
of these costs increased $3.9 million from 1994's first quarter.  Approximately
60% of this amount was due to American Tile.  In addition, expenses were
incurred in connection with the reorganization of administrative functions of
the Footwear segment.

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


   Interest expense increased 38% in the first quarter to $1,105,000 from
$801,000 in the first three months of 1994.  Although the average debt level
declined during 1995's first quarter compared to a year ago, expense increased
due to higher average effective rates.

   Provision for Income Taxes - The Company's provision for income tax was 36.5%
of pre-tax income in the first quarter of 1995, the current estimated effective
rate for the full year, compared to 37% in the first quarter of 1994.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

   At March 31, 1995, working capital amounted to $179.8 million versus $185.7
million at December 31, 1994.  Cash decreased from $6.1 million at year end to
$4.8 million at the end of 1995's first quarter.  Normal seasonal changes
occurred between year-end 1994 and the end of the first quarter of 1995 with a
reduction in accounts receivable, primarily due to payments by Footwear
customers early in the year, and an increase in inventories caused by the
seasonal build-up of Building Materials inventories.

   Cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 1995 totaled
$10.6 million.  These funds were used primarily to reduce debt, acquire fixed
assets, pay dividends, and purchase treasury stock.

   In the first quarter of 1995, total interest-bearing debt declined to $73.8
million from $79.3 million at year-end 1994.  This reduction lowered the ratio
of long-term debt-to-equity to .25 to 1 from .29 to 1 at year end.  Borrowings
should increase over the next two quarters to finance the seasonal working
capital needs.  At March 31, 1995, unused committed credit facilities totaled
$61 million, an amount well above the company's estimated requirements.

   Cash dividends declared in the first quarter of 1995 and 1994 amounted to
$.04 a share.
