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

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Net cash provided by operating activities was $851,000 for the three months
    ended March 31, 1996, as compared to $1,222,000 for the three months ended
    March 31, 1995.  In addition, the Company made $1,691,000 in capital
    expenditures for the first quarter of 1996, compared to $1,011,000 for the
    same quarter a year ago.  

    The Company has completed the feasibility studies for a new kiln at the 
    Arkansas plant and has decided to proceed with this project.  The new kiln
    will complement the existing shaft kilns by allowing the Company to expand
    its customer base.  The lime produced on the new kiln will meet the 
    specific chemical needs of both the existing customer base and customers 
    the Company currently is unable to serve.  The project is expected to cost
    approximately $9-10 million.  The Company's progress on this project has
    been slowed due to the state regulatory authorities requiring the Arkansas
    plant to apply for and obtain a new plant-wide permit.  The new permit
    replaced the existing permit and now allows the Company to proceed with the
    permitting process of the new kiln.  This permit is expected to be secured
    by the end of 1996.  The new kiln will be financed by internally generated
    funds and/or alternative sources of financing.

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Revenues decreased from $8,649,000 in the first quarter of 1995 to
    $8,523,000 in the first quarter of 1996, a decrease of $126,000 or 1.5%.
    This resulted from a 8.4% decrease in sales volume and a 6.9% increase in
    prices.

    The Company's gross profit was $1,810,000 in the first quarter of 1996,
    compared to $1,919,000 in the first quarter of 1995, a 5.7% decrease.
    Gross profit margin for the first quarter of 1996 decreased to 21.2%, from
    22.2% in 1995.  The lower gross profit and gross profit margins were
    attributed to decreased shipments and production volumes as a result of
    poor weather in the first quarter.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased 9.3% to
    $1,105,000 in the first quarter of 1996, compared to $1,218,000 in the
    first quarter of 1995.  The reduction in SG&A was due to the recovery of
    amounts accrued for doubtful accounts and reduced professional fees.

    Other, net increased by $47,000 in the first quarter of 1996, compared to
    the first quarter of 1995.  The increase was mainly due to the sale of
    timber at one of the plants and the final payment from a judgment awarded
    in 1993.

    Interest expense decreased by $41,000 in the first quarter of 1996,
    compared to the first quarter of 1995.  This decrease was due primarily to
    lower balances outstanding.

    The Company reported net income of $503,000 or 13 cents per share during
    the first quarter of 1996, compared to net income of $426,000 or 11 cents
    per share during the first quarter of 1995.
