Report of Independent Public Accountants
To the Administrator of the Lafarge Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of the
Lafarge Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan as of May 31, 1994 and 1993,
and the related statements of changes in participants' equity for each of the
three years in the period ended May 31, 1994. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the plan administrator. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by the plan administrator, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial condition of the Lafarge Corporation
Employee Stock Purchase Plan as of May 31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in
participants' equity for each of the three years in the period ended May 31,
1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Lafarge Corporation
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Years Ended May 31, 1994 and 1993
1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN:
In May 1988, the stockholders of Lafarge Corporation (the "Company") approved
the adoption of the Lafarge Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
"Plan").
Eligible employees, as defined, who become participants in the Plan
("Participants"), are granted options at the beginning of the plan year to
purchase shares of common stock of the Company through regular payroll
deductions during the plan year. Payroll deductions for each Participant are
made ratably during the option period (which coincides with the plan year
ending May 31) and will not exceed the lesser of 5% of a Participant's annual
compensation, as defined, or $3,000.
On the last business day of each plan year, the Company uses the funds
accumulated in each Participant's withholding account in the Plan to purchase
for such Participant the largest possible number of whole shares of common
stock of the Company, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Plan.
The number of shares for which an option is granted to a Participant during the
option period and the number of shares purchased by the Company for a
Participant during the option period cannot exceed the number of shares having
an aggregate fair market value of $6,000, as determined on the first day of the
option period.
The common stock purchase price to the Participant is the lower of 90% of the
fair market value, as defined, of the shares at either the beginning or end of
the plan year.
The Plan is administered by a committee consisting of three or more employees
of the Company appointed by the Company's Board of Directors.
2. PARTICIPANT AND PLAN TERMINATIONS:
Upon termination from the Plan or cancellation of a Participant's option, the
balance of a Participant's withholding account is returned to the Participant.
Subject to the right of the Board of Directors to terminate the Plan prior
thereto, the Plan will terminate when all or substantially all of the
Company's one million shares of common stock reserved for purposes of the Plan
has been purchased. No termination or amendment of the Plan will adversely
affect the rights of a Participant under an option, except with the consent of
the Participant.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICY:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis
of accounting.
4. STOCK PURCHASE PAYABLE:
As of May 31, 1994 and 1993, the Plan was obligated to purchase 44,813 and
45,039 shares respectively, of the Company's common stock for Participants.
The market value of the Company's common stock on May 31, 1994, and June 1,
1993, was $21.75 per share and $16.875 per share and on May 31, 1993, and June
1, 1992, was $16.75 per share and $17.125 per share, respectively. Common
stock acquired in connection with the plan years ended May 31, 1994 and 1993,
was issued and distributed directly to Participants in July 1994 and July 1993,
respectively.
5. RESIDUAL DEPOSITS:
No fractional shares are issued upon exercise of an option. Any residual
deposits remaining in the Participant's withholding account following exercise
of an option will be returned to the Participant, except those representing
fractional shares of common stock which will be retained in the withholding
account and applied to the next plan year.
6. INCOME AND EXPENSES:
All expenses of the Plan are paid on behalf of the Plan by the Company. The
Company is not required to, and does not, pay interest on amounts held in
withholding accounts for Participants in the Plan.
7. PLAN STATUS:
The Plan is designed to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under
Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore, options issued under
the Plan and stock transferred upon exercise of the options will be eligible
for special tax treatment.
