                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


      In the opinion of the Registrant, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly its financial
position at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the results of operations
and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.  The results
of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.

      The total balances of cash and cash equivalents plus all investments,
including short-term, available-for-sale and long-term investments, were $44.0
million at March 31, 1996 compared with $48.2 million at December 31, 1995.
The decrease of $4.2 million resulted principally from the payment of a $4.1
million  note due in January 1996 related to the acquisition of one of the
ready-mixed concrete companies purchased in November of 1995.  The investments
consisted principally of short-term obligations and obligations with maturities
ranging from more than one year to up to seven years of the U.S. Federal
Government or its agencies.

      Notes and accounts receivables were $27.2 million as of March 31, 1996,
$2.7 million higher than the amount of receivables at December 31, 1995.  This
increase resulted principally from higher balances in accounts
receivable-trade at the end of the first quarter of 1996 when compared to the
end of the last quarter of 1995.  Historically, sales for the first quarter of
the year have been on the average higher than those from the last quarter of
the year.  Receivables turnover was maintained at normal levels during the
first quarter of 1996, with an average collection period below 60 days.

      Consolidated inventories decreased $2.1 million from December 31, 1995 to
approximately $30.2 million at March 31, 1996.  Higher sales of cement
contributed to increased production levels, decreasing the raw materials,
work-in-process and supplies inventories.

      Total current liabilities decreased approximately $2.0 million to $25.9
million on March 31, 1996 from $27.9 million on December 31, 1994. The
decrease was principally the net result of the payment of the $4.1 million note
previously mentioned, offset by the increased balance in income taxes payable
from 1995 tax liabilities and the estimated tax installment due in April 1996.

      At its March 27, 1996 meeting, the Board of Directors of the Registrant
declared a 17 cents per share dividend on its common stock, payable on May 17,
1996 to stockholders of record on April 19, 1996.  As of March 31, 1996, the
Registrant had 5,504,722 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as
compared with 5,494,200 as of March 31, 1995.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

      Working capital at March 31, 1996 was $52.6 million compared with $50.6
million at December 31, 1995.  The current ratio increased to 3.03 to 1 for the
period ended March 31, 1996 from 2.81 to 1 for the period ended December 31,
1995.  The change resulted from the decrease in current liabilities
attributable to the payment of the $4.1 million note.

      Capital expenditures during the first quarter of 1996 were approximately
$3.0 million, while there was $2.6 million in depreciation for the same period.
During this quarter, one of the Company's ready-mixed concrete subsidiaries
purchased new trucks at a cost of more than $1.0 million as part of such
capital expenditures.

      During the quarter ended on March 31, 1996, the Company repaid $200,000
in long-term debt.  The approximate aggregate maturities of long-term debt for
the remainder of 1996 and thereafter are as follows:

      Loan agreements with term lenders impose certain restrictions on the
Company concerning working capital, indebtedness, dividends, investments and
certain advances, among others.

      The Company has available credit facilities in the aggregate amount of
$20,600,000 with commercial banks for short-term financing and discount of
trade paper from customers.  No balance was outstanding under these credit
facilities at any month-end during the first quarter of 1996.


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

      Consolidated net sales increased $14.7 million, or 65%, to $37.4 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 from $22.7 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995.  Of this increase, $11.6 million, or 79%, was directly 
attributable to additional sales provided by the ready-mixed concrete 
subsidiaries purchased in November 1995.  Additional increases were: 


                                      -6-
<PAGE>   9



    - Cement sales: Net sales increased $1.9 million due primarily to an
      increase in the number of bags of cement sold from 4.9 million for the
      quarter ended March 31, 1995 to 5.6 million for the quarter ended March
      31, 1996.

    - Lime sales: Net sales increased $823,000 primarily due to an increase in
      export sales.  There were no export sales in the first quarter of 1995.

      Consolidated cost of sales increased from $14.7 million in the first
quarter of 1995 to $27.0 million in the first quarter of 1996.  This increase
included $9.7 million of additional costs attributable to the ready-mixed
concrete operations.  Excluding the $9.7 million effect resulting from the
ready-mixed concrete operations, cost of sales as a percentage of total sales
(with total sales adjusted by the effect of additional sales contributed by the
ready-mixed concrete operations) increased slightly from  65% in the first
quarter of 1995 to 67% in the first quarter of 1996.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.5 million to
$4.6 million in the first quarter of 1996 compared with $2.5 million in  the
first quarter of 1995.  This increase was principally attributable to $1.3
million of additional expenses related to the ready-mixed concrete operations.

      Interest and financial charges increased $612,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996 from $526,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  This
increase was primarily due to the additional interest expenses arising from the
$16.0 million loans obtained in November of 1995  used to refinance the
long-term debt of the ready-mixed concrete subsidiaries plus the interest
expense on the loans related to the mills conversion project the capitalization
of which ended in the third quarter of 1995.
