   The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required

results of operations, cash flows, and shareholders' equity of Justin

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, 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

ITEM 2.  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, 1996, of
$104.3 million were 8.2% under the $113.7 million in 1995's first quarter.

      Building Materials Segment Sales - Sales in the Building Materials
   segment increased $1.8 million or 3.2% over the first quarter of 1995.
   The entire increase in revenues was attributable to Acme Brick Company
   ("Acme") as brick shipments increased 6% over the same period of 1995.
   American Tile Supply Company ("American Tile") and Tradewinds
   Technologies, Inc. ("Tradewinds") each posted modest declines in sales
   while Featherlite Building Products Corporation's ("Featherlite") sales
   approximated the first quarter of 1995.
   
      During the first quarter of 1996, housing starts in Acme's territory
   improved over the prior year and produced the volume gains. Featherlite,
   who relies more heavily on commercial construction, sold fewer concrete
   block in 1996's first quarter as commercial construction levels in Texas
   were lower than in 1995.  Pricing gains, however, offset the volume
   decline.  Tradewinds' first quarter revenues suffered from unusually
   cold weather in the first quarter of 1996 compared to the same period a
   year ago.
   
      Footwear Segment Sales - Total Footwear sales for the three months
   ended March 31, 1996, declined 19.3% to $46.5 million from 1995's first
   quarter.  All three operations, Justin Boot Company, Nocona Boot Company
   and Tony Lama Company, experienced a slower first quarter in 1996.
   While pairs shipped declined 22.7% compared to the same quarter in 1995,
   average pricing improved reflecting a sales mix more heavily weighted
   toward higher priced footwear and a three percent pricing increase on
   most lines.  All product lines experienced sales declines due to
   sluggish sales of footwear and apparel on a national level, in general,
   and due to the continued contraction of fashion markets' appetite for
   the companies' niche products.

   Costs and Expenses - The consolidated ratio of cost of goods sold to sales
was 66.8% in the first quarter of 1996 versus 65.7% in the 1995 comparable
period.  Building Materials' ratio of cost of sales to sales was 61.3% in the
first quarter of 1996, compared to 59.1% in the first quarter of 1995.  The
primary reason for the increase was higher natural gas prices adversely affected
brick manufacturing costs.  The ratio of cost of goods sold to sales in the
Footwear businesses was 73.6% versus 72.1% in 1995.  Realignment of production
volumes, discounting of discontinued styles, and higher than normal returns are
the most significant factors in the decline.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 26.5% of sales in
the first quarter of 1996 compared to 26% in the first quarter of 1995.  While
the decrease in sales volume in the Footwear business caused the percentage
increase, the total of selling, general and administrative expenses declined
almost $2 million from 1995's first quarter.  Approximately one-half of this
decline was due to cost savings realized from the 1995 consolidation of Footwear
administrative functions and expense reductions in that segment of business.
                                        
   Interest expense decreased 10.4% in the first quarter to $990,000 from
$1,105,000 in the first three months of 1995. The average debt level declined
during 1996's first quarter compared to a year ago, and the average effective
interest rate for the quarter was slightly lower than the same period a year
ago.
                                        
   Provision for Income Taxes - The Company's provision for income tax was 36.5%
of pre-tax income in the first quarter of 1996 and 1995, which is the current
estimated effective rate for the full year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

   At March 31, 1996, working capital amounted to $178.6 million versus $181.4
million at December 31, 1995.  Cash increased from $2.2 million at year end to
$7.4 million at the end of 1996's first quarter.  Normal seasonal changes
occurred between year-end 1995 and the end of the first quarter of 1996 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 1996 totaled
$15.4 million.  These funds were used primarily to fund the continued
construction of a new brick plant, reduce debt, pay dividends, and purchase
48,000 shares of treasury stock.  The new brick plant is scheduled for
completion in the second quarter of 1996.  An additional $6 million will be
expended in 1996 to complete this facility.

   In the first quarter of 1996, total interest-bearing debt declined to $72.5
million from $73.6 million at year-end 1995, and the ratio of long-term debt-to-
equity was reduced to .23 to 1 from .24 to 1 at year end.  Borrowings may
increase over the next two quarters to finance the seasonal working capital
needs.  At March 31, 1996, unused credit facilities approximated $50 million, an
amount well above the company's estimated requirements.

   Cash dividends declared in the first quarter of 1996 and 1995 amounted to
$.04 a share.
