Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   A summary of the company's significant accounting policies is presented on
page 21 of its 1995 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 1996.

   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 and restrictions on redemption
of outstanding stock and change in control of the company.  As of June 30, 1996,
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 27,089,000 in
1996 and 27,575,000 in 1995.

================================================================================

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   Sales - Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 1996 were $110.7
million versus $109.9 million for the same quarter in 1995, an increase of .7%.
Consolidated net sales were $215 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996,
3.8% below the $223.6 million posted in 1995's first six months.

      Building Materials Segment Sales - Sales for the second quarter of
   1996 in the Building Materials segment increased 12.6% over the same
   quarter of 1995 to $70.8 million.  For the six months ended June 30,
   1996, net sales increased to $128.7 million, 8.2% over the same period
   last year.
   
      The overall increase in sales is attributable to operations of Acme
   Brick Company ("Acme") and American Tile Supply ("ATS"), as residential
   construction in Acme's and ATS's market areas continues to be strong.
   Featherlite Building Products Corporation's ("Featherlite") sales,
   consisting primarily of commercial building products such as concrete
   block and cut limestone, declined a modest 1% during 1996's three and
   six month periods.  Compared to the same periods a year ago, commercial
   construction activity has declined in Featherlite's markets.  Cooler
   weather than normal and retooling of the manufacturing operations during
   the Spring selling season caused Tradewinds Technologies, Inc.'s sales
   to decline during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996,
   compared to the same periods in 1995.
   
      Footwear Segment Sales - Total Footwear sales for the quarter ended
   June 30, 1996, declined 15.2% to $39.9 million from 1995's second
   quarter of $47 million.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996,
   revenues were 17.5% behind the same period a year ago.  Justin Boot
   Company, Nocona Boot Company and Tony Lama Company, Inc. each
   experienced a slower second quarter and six months in 1996.  All lines
   of footwear products experienced declines compared to 1995's periods due
   to soft footwear sales nationwide and changes in fashion trends.

   Costs and Expenses - The consolidated ratio of cost of goods sold to sales
was 65% in the second quarter of 1996 versus 64.3% in the same quarter of 1995.
For the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, cost of goods sold to
sales percentage was 65.9% and 65%, respectively.

   Building Materials' ratio was 59.9% in the second quarter of 1996 compared to
58.5% in 1995's second quarter.  During the first six months of 1996 and 1995,
the ratio for Building Materials was 60.6% and 58.8%, respectively.  Despite an
increase in units shipped of almost 14% in 1996 and stable average brick
pricing, Acme's cost of goods sold ratio was negatively impacted by higher gas
prices and start-up costs associated with the new Bennett brick plant.  The new
brick plant will be fully operational and producing close to capacity by the end
of August.  The ratios of cost of goods sold to sales in the Footwear businesses
were 73.9% for the second quarter of 1996 versus 72% for the second quarter of
1995.  For the six month periods ended June 30, the ratios were 73.8% in 1996
and 72.1% in 1995.  The increased ratios in the second quarter of 1996 over
1995's second quarter are mainly attributable to reduced sales and production
levels in 1996.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 26.2% of sales in
the second quarter of 1996 compared to 25.9% in the second quarter of 1995.  For
the first six months of 1996, these expenses were 26.3% of sales compared to 26%
during the first six months of 1995.  The increases are primarily due to
Footwear's lower sales volume, costs accrued to close its European sales
operation, and severance payments to employees terminated in connection with
personnel changes and cost reduction programs.

   Interest expense decreased 27.3% in the second quarter to $920,000 from
$1,266,000 in the second three month period of 1995.  During the six months
ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same period in 1995, interest expense
decreased $461,000 or 19.4%.  The decreases are attributable to lower average
effective interest rates and lower average debt levels during the periods.

                                    (Page 7)
                                        
================================================================================

   Provision for Income Taxes - The Company's provision for income tax was 36.5%
of pre-tax income in the second quarter and for the first six months of 1996 and
1995, which is the current estimated effective rate for the full year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

   At June 30, 1996, working capital increased to $176.3 million versus $185.7
million at December 31, 1995.  Cash decreased from $6.1 million at year-end 1995
to $4.8 million at the end of 1996's second quarter.  During the first six
months of 1996, net cash of $28.5 million was provided from operations due to
aggressive management of inventories and receivables.  Cash from operating
activities was used primarily to repay bank debt by approximately $8 million,
purchase $15.1 million of capital equipment, buy $2.3 million of treasury stock,
and pay cash dividends to shareholders of $2.1 million.

   Total interest-bearing debt decreased to $65.5 million from $79.3 million at
year end 1995.  This decrease reduced the ratio of long-term debt-to-equity to
 .22 to 1 from .24 to 1 at year end.  Borrowings may increase during the next
quarter to finance additional seasonal working capital needs.  At June 30, 1996,
unused credit facilities approximated $63 million, an amount well above the
company's estimated requirements.

   Cash dividends of $.04 a share were declared in the second quarter of 1996
and 1995.  During each of the six month periods ended June 30 in 1996 and 1995,
dividends were declared amounting to  $.08 a share.
