1.  Basis of Presentation

            The condensed consolidated financial statements included
            herein have been prepared by the Company without independent
            audit.  In the opinion of the Company's management, all
            adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to
            present fairly the financial position, results of operations
            and cash flows for the periods presented have been made.
            Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
            in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
            accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
            It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial
            statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated
            financial statements and notes thereto included in the
            Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended
            December 31, 1995.  The results of operations for the periods
            ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of what the
            operating results for the full year will be.  Certain prior
            year amounts have been reclassified for comparison purposes.

3.  Prepaid Expenses

            At June 30, 1996, prepaid expenses included  $353,000 of
            deferred costs that will be  absorbed in inventory by the end
            of the year based on units of production method.  The
            deferred costs at June 30, 1995 were $216,000.  The 1996 costs
            relate to a planned aggregates production shut-down of one of
            the plant facilities during the first quarter of 1996.
            Deferred costs include maintenance and other expenses incurred
            during the first quarter that will contribute towards revenues
            in subsequent quarters.

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  $2,077,000  for the
         six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $3,713,000 for the six
         months ended June 30, 1995. The decrease in net cash provided by
         operating activities was primarily attributed to the increase in
         current assets and reductions of current liabilities. The Company has
         in place and utilizes its Revolver Loan facility to cover these
         fluctuations.

         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 increased from $11,458,000 in the second quarter of 1995 to
         $11,583,000 in the second quarter of 1996, an increase of $125,000 or
         1.1%. This resulted from a 3.2% decrease in sales volume and a 4.3%
         increase in prices. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996
         of $20,106,000 were almost identical to last year's revenues of
         $20,107,000 for the same period. This was caused by a 5.5% decrease
         in sales volume and a 5.5% increase in price.

         The Company's gross profit was $3,063,000 in the second quarter of
         1996, compared to $3,148,000 in the second quarter of 1995, a 2.7%
         decrease. Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 1996
         decreased to 26.4%, from 27.5% in 1995. The lower gross profit and
         gross profit margins were attributed to decreased production volumes
         in the second quarter. Gross profit decreased to $4,873,000 for the
         first six months of 1996, from $5,067,000 in the first six months of
         1995, a 3.8% decrease. Gross profit margin for the six months ended
         June 30, 1996 decreased to 24.2%, from 25.2% in 1995. The decreased
         production volumes negatively impacted both gross profit and gross
         profit margins.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased 2.2% to
         $1,153,000 in the second quarter of 1996, compared to $1,179,000 in
         the second quarter of 1995. SG&A as a percentage of sales decreased
         to 9.9%, from 10.3% a year earlier. The reduction in SG&A was due
         primarily to lower professional fees. SG&A decreased by $139,000 or
         5.8%, in the first six months of 1996, compared to 1995, and as a
         percentage of sales decreased to 11.2%, from 11.9%.





                                      6
<PAGE>   7
         Other, net increased by $73,000 in the second quarter of 1996,
         compared to the second quarter of 1995.  The increase was mainly due
         to the sale of timber at one of the plants and royalties from a lease
         agreement signed in the first quarter.  Other, net increased by
         $122,000 in the first six months of 1996, as compared to the first six
         months of 1995.

         Interest expense decreased both in the second quarter and first six
         months of 1996 over 1995 by $15,000 and $56,000, respectively.  This
         decrease was due primarily to lower balances outstanding.

         The Company reported net income of $1,471,000, ($0.38 per share /
         $0.36 fully diluted) during the second quarter of 1996, compared to
         net income of $1,440,000, ($0.38 per share) during the second quarter
         of 1995.  For the first six months of 1996, the Company recorded net
         income of $1,974,000 ($0.51 per share / $0.49 fully diluted), as
         compared to net income of $1,866,000 ($0.49 per share) in the first
         six months of 1995.

(1)      The Company is showing both primary and fully diluted earnings per
         share for the second quarter and first half of 1996.  These
         calculations, required under generally accepted accounting principles,
         reflect the effects of recent increases in the market prices for the
         Company's shares in determining the dilution resulting from the
         assumed exercise of the Company's employee stock options.
