3.   Outstanding Debt

     Effective August 31, 1998, the Company amended its amended and restated
     loan agreement with a commercial bank to provide for an $18,500,000
     five-year secured term loan; a separate secured line of credit of
     $5,000,000 for capital expenditures related to the Arkansas modernization
     and expansion project; a $20,000,000 capital expenditure and acquisition
     line of credit, subject to bank approval; and a $4,000,000 revolving credit
     facility. The term loan and the committed capital expenditure line of
     credit bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%, and the revolving credit facility
     bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.40%.

     In April 1998, the Company entered into an interest rate protection
     agreement with the bank (the "Swap Agreement") to modify the interest
     characteristics of $9,000,000 of its then-outstanding term debt from a
     variable rate to a fixed rate. The Swap Agreement involved the exchange of
     interest obligations based on a fixed rate of 7.45%, for interest
     obligations based on variable 30-day LIBOR rates plus 1.65%, over the
     five-year life of the Swap Agreement without an exchange of notional
     amounts upon which such interest obligations are based. The interest rate
     differential to


                                       5
<PAGE>   6




     be paid or received as rates changed was accrued and recognized as an
     adjustment to interest expense. The related amounts payable to, or
     receivable from, the bank were included as an adjustment to accrued
     expenses. To the extent amounts were not material, the fair value of the
     Swap Agreement and changes in the fair value as a result of changes in
     market interest rates were not recognized in the financial statements. In
     the event of the early termination of the term debt obligations, or an
     early termination of the Swap Agreement, any realized gain or loss from
     the Swap Agreement would be recognized as an adjustment to interest
     expense.


    A summary of outstanding debt at the dates indicated is as follows:

</TABLE>


     The carrying amount of the Company's long-term debt approximates its fair
     value.

     The additional amounts borrowed in the first three months of 1999 were
     used primarily to fund the working capital of the Company during the
     usually slower demand of the first quarter.

4.   Subsequent Event

     On April 22, 1999, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with a
     consortium of commercial banks for a $50,000,000 Senior Secured Term Loan
     (the "Loan"). The Loan is repayable over a period of approximately 8
     years, maturing on March 30, 2007, and requires monthly principal payments
     of $277,777.78 beginning April 30, 2000, with a final principal payment of
     $26,944,444.26 on March 30, 2007, which equates to a 15-year amortization.

     The Company agreed to pay a fee equivalent to 2-1/2% of the Loan value to
     the placement agent. The fee due on the first $30,000,000 advanced was
     paid on closing, and the fee due on the remaining $20,000,000 will become
     payable when the first installment of this portion is funded.

     Upon execution of the Loan agreement, the first $30,000,000 was advanced,
     of which approximately $20,000,000 was used to retire all existing bank
     loans, with the balance to be used primarily for the modernization and
     expansion of the Arkansas operations. The remaining $20,000,000 of the
     Loan facility will be drawn down in four equal quarterly installments
     beginning June 30, 1999, and ending March 30, 2000, and will be used
     exclusively for the Arkansas project. Commencement of the draw down of the
     quarterly installments is conditional upon the Company receiving an air
     operating permit for the first phase of the Arkansas project by December
     31, 1999.


                                       6
<PAGE>   7


     In the event that the Company does not receive the air permit by December
     31, 1999, and is unable to draw down the final $20,000,000 of
     installments, a break fee of 0.25% will be payable to the lenders.

     On April 22, 1999, the Company also retired its $4,000,000 revolving
     credit facility and entered into a letter agreement with the lead bank to
     provide an equivalent replacement facility, on essentially the same terms.
     The new revolving credit facility is subject to definitive documentation.

     The Loan is secured by a first lien on substantially all of the Company's
     assets, with the exception of accounts receivable and inventories which
     will be used to secure the new $4,000,000 revolving credit facility. The
     interest rate on the first $30,000,000 of the Loan is 8-7/8%, and
     subsequent installment draw downs will bear interest from the date they
     are funded at 3.52% above the secondary market yield of the United States
     Treasury obligation maturing May 15, 2005. The new revolving credit
     facility is expected to bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.40%, which rate will
     increase in accordance with a defined rate spread based upon the Company's
     then-current ratio of total funded debt to earnings before interest,
     taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).


     In connection with the repayment of the prior term loan, the Company
     terminated the Swap Agreement. As a result of the termination of the Swap
     Agreement, the Company was obligated to pay the bank a $102,000
     termination payment, which amount will be expensed in the second quarter
     as an adjustment to interest expense.


     The Loan agreement contains covenants that restrict the incurrence of
     debt, guaranties and liens, and place certain restrictions on the payment
     of dividends and the sale of significant assets. The Company is also
     required to meet minimum debt service coverage ratios on an on-going basis
     and maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth.

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 $434,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999, as compared to net cash used of $1,862,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998. The increase in cash provided by operating
activities was primarily attributable to the collection of accounts receivable
and a smaller decrease in accounts payable in the first quarter of 1999, as
compared to the first quarter of 1998.

The Company invested $1,607,000 in capital expenditures in the first three
months of 1999, compared to $5,228,000 in the same period last year. Capital
expenditures of approximately $4,600,000 were related to the modernization and
expansion project at the Texas facility in the first three months of 1998. The
Texas project was completed in the fourth quarter of 1998.

As currently planned, the Arkansas modernization and expansion project will be
completed in two phases: Phase I will cover the redevelopment of the quarry
plant, rebuilding of the railroad, establishment of an out-of-state terminal,
and installation of a rotary kiln with a preheater, along with increased
product storage and loading capacity. Depending on such factors as securing
satisfactory permits, Phase I is scheduled to be completed mid-year 2000.

Phase II of the Arkansas project would further expand the plant capacity
through the installation of a second kiln with additional storage capacity.
Although the Company could determine to defer Phase II depending upon such
factors as market demand and the availability of financing, it currently plans
to complete Phase II in the first half of 2001.

The Arkansas improvements should allow the Company to better serve its
customers by improving both quality and service while increasing the production
capacity of quicklime and hydrated lime. With the improvements, the Company
expects to be in a better position to compete for customers who currently
cannot use the Company's lime in their processes due to insufficient production
capacity at the plant or quality constraints. The rotary kiln will have lower
operating costs and a greater capacity than the six shaft kilns currently in
use. In addition to increasing capacity, this kiln will also be able to
consistently produce high-quality lime for use by certain manufacturing
customers who currently do not buy lime from the Arkansas facility. The
storage, screening, and load-out facilities will also substantially reduce the
amount of time required for the loading of bulk quicklime trucks and railcars.
The planned modernization and expansion project will increase both production
and shipping capacity, will lower operating costs, and will allow for a more
efficient utilization of the work force.

Phase I of the Arkansas project is currently projected to cost approximately
$21,500,000. If Phase II proceeds on schedule, it is currently estimated to
cost approximately $11,000,000. The Company intends to finance the Arkansas
project through a combination of internally generated funds and bank
borrowings. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available
to the Company to complete Phase II of the Arkansas project as currently
contemplated.

The Company is not contractually committed to any planned capital expenditures
until actual orders are placed for equipment. As of March 31, 1999, the Company
had no liability for open equipment and construction orders. All future
billings related to the Arkansas project will be recorded as work is performed
and billed to the Company.


                                       8
<PAGE>   9

As of March 31, 1999, the Company had approximately $20,179,000 in total debt
outstanding, up from the $18,839,000 at December 31, 1998. The additional
borrowings in 1999 have been used primarily to fund the Company's working
capital during the usually slower demand of the first quarter.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues increased from $6,469,000 in the first quarter of 1998 to $6,931,000
in the first quarter of 1999, an increase of $462,000, or 7.1%. This resulted
from a 5.4% increase in sales volume and a 1.7% increase in prices. Demand
remained strong in both the Texas and Arkansas markets, but sales volumes were
somewhat slowed by inclement weather in March. However, those sales volumes are
expected to be recovered during the remainder of the year.

The Company's gross profit was $1,877,000 for the first quarter of 1999,
compared to $1,276,000 for the first quarter of 1998, a 47.1% increase. Gross
profit margin as a percentage of revenues for the first quarter of 1999
increased to 27.1% from 19.7% in 1998. The improved gross profit and gross
profit margins were attributable to increased production efficiencies and
volumes at the Texas facility. Lower fuel costs also contributed to the
improved gross profit and gross profit margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased by $8,000, or
0.9%, to $918,000 in the first quarter of 1999, as compared to $926,000 in the
first quarter of 1998. SG&A as a percentage of sales decreased to 13.2% as
compared to 14.3% in the first quarter a year ago.

Interest expense in the first quarter of 1999 was $343,000 as compared to
$3,000 in 1998. In 1998, $101,000 of incurred interest costs were capitalized
as part of the Texas modernization and expansion project. The remaining
increase in interest was attributable to the increased debt incurred to finance
the now-completed project at Texas Lime Company.

The Company reported net income of $458,000 ($0.12 per share) during the first
quarter of 1999, compared to net income of $303,000 ($0.08 per share) during
the first quarter of 1998.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company continues to address the potential impact of the Year 2000 ("Y2K")
issue on its operations. The Y2K problem arises because of computer programs
which use two digits rather than four digits to define a year. This may result
in miscalculations or complete system failures in processing data with programs
using date sensitive information.

The Company has inventoried its information technology ("IT") and non-IT
systems, including embedded systems in its production operating equipment, in an
effort to identify potential Y2K problems. The Company continues to asses and
quantify the extent of potential problems, and has begun to prioritize the
problems uncovered. In the second quarter, the Company will move to the
remediation and testing phases of its Y2K compliance program, which it expects
to complete by the third quarter.

The Company has been using certain customized accounting software which is not
Y2K compliant. To address this problem, the Company has selected, and is in the
process of installing, a commercially available accounting software which is
Y2K compliant. The cost of this installation is approximately $200,000.


                                       9
<PAGE>   10

The Company has begun to obtain confirmation from its suppliers and customers
that they are or will be Y2K compliant. The cost of replacing, or of
implementing alternative means of communication with, non-compliant or
non-responsive suppliers will not be possible to determine until the review
process has been completed.

While the Company will not complete its contingency planning until specific Y2K
problems are fully identified, quantified, and prioritized, it continues to
identify the types of actions and alternatives that it may have to consider in
order to ensure continuity of operations and service to customers. Other than
as a result of serious systemic failures in external services, or due to a
significant and extended decline in customer demand as a result of an
inadequate response to the Y2K problem by the Company's customers and their
industries, the Company does not expect the Y2K challenge to have a material
adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash
flows.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), made and entered into as
of the 11th day of October, 1989, by and between Rangaire Corporation, a Texas
corporation (herein, together with its successors and assigns, "Employer"), and
Bill Hughes, an individual ("Employee"),

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, Employer desires to employ Employee, and Employee desires to
be employed by Employer, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants herein contained, Employer and Employee hereby agree as follows:

         1. Employment. Employer hereby employs Employee in the capacity of V.P.
Sales/Marketing to undertake and discharge, in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, such duties, functions and responsibilities as are
from time to time delegated to Employee by Employer. Employee shall devote his
full business time and his best efforts to the performance and fulfillment of
such duties, functions and responsibilities.

         2. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date first
above written and shall continue until terminated by Employer or Employee as
hereafter provided. Either Employer or Employee may terminate this Agreement by
giving at least one year's prior written notice to the other. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, however, this Agreement and the term of Employee's employment
hereunder may be terminated by Employer without liability immediately if
Employee is guilty of fraud, dishonesty or willful misconduct with respect to
Employer. In addition, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the
death of Employee. Upon any such termination or expiration, Employee, his
personal representatives or his estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled to
receive only the amounts payable to Employee hereunder through the date of such
termination or expiration and no other amounts or benefits.

         3. Compensation. In consideration of the services to be rendered by
Employee hereunder, Employer shall compensate Employee during the term of this
Agreement in accordance with the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A. All
services which Employee may render to Employer or any of its affiliates in any
capacity during the term of this Agreement shall be deemed to be



                                      -1-
<PAGE>   2

services required by this Agreement in consideration for the compensation
provided for herein. Employee shall also be entitled to participate in all plans
or arrangements providing for employee benefits from time to time made available
by Employer to similarly situated employees.

         4. Confidential Information. Employee agrees that he shall not, during
the term of his employment hereunder or at any time thereafter, disclose or
reveal to any person (except in the course of the proper performance of his
duties hereunder), nor use or appropriate to his own personal use or benefit,
any trade secret or confidential or proprietary information of any kind or
character (whether or not acquired, learned, obtained or developed by Employee
alone or in conjunction with others) belonging to or concerning Employer, its
customers or others with whom Employer now or hereafter has a business
relationship. The provisions of this Section 4 shall survive any termination of
this Agreement.

         5. Covenant Not to Compete. Employee agrees that he shall not, during
the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years thereafter,
without the prior written consent of Employer, engage directly or indirectly in,
or carry on, on his own behalf or for anyone whomsoever, whether as an officer,
director, stockholder, owner, member, partner, joint venturer, employee,
consultant, agent, representative, proprietor, manager, associate, investor or
otherwise, any business or activity in which the training provided to Employee
by Employer, the knowledge of Employee of information concerning Employer, or
the familiarity of Employee with Employer's employees and customers and
prospects therefor, is or may be used, directly or indirectly, in competition
with Employer in or with respect to the principal geographical areas in which
Employer conducted its business during the term of this Agreement, unless
Employee is terminated by Employer for reasons not involving Employee's fraud,
dishonesty or willful misconduct with respect to Employer. Employee expressly
acknowledges that he possesses skills and abilities of a general nature that may
be used in employment other than that which would be in competition with
Employer as set forth in the preceding sentence, and therefore further
acknowledges that compliance by Employee with the covenants made by Employee
herein will not deprive him of his personal goodwill or the ability to be
gainfully employed. The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement.

         6. Enforcement. Employee recognizes and agrees that in the event of his
breach of the provisions of Sections 4 or 5 of this Agreement, Employer may not
have an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Employee hereby agrees that in the
event of such a breach by Employee, Employer shall be entitled to enforce the
provisions of Sections 4 or 5 of this Agreement by injunction, in


                                      -2-

<PAGE>   3

addition to recovering any monetary damages which Employer may sustain as a
result of such breach.

         7. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

         8. Severability of Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is
held to be unenforceable, this Agreement shall be considered divisible and
inoperative as to such provision to the extent it is deemed unenforceable, and
in all other respects this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If
any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable as written but may
be made enforceable by limitation thereof, then such provision shall be
enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

         9. Sole Agreement and Amendment. This Agreement, together with the
exhibits hereto, constitutes the sole and only agreement between Employer and
Employee concerning the within subject matter, and supersedes any and all prior
oral or written communications between Employer and Employee regarding the
within subject matter. No amendment, modification or supplement to this
Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party
against which it is sought to be enforced.

         10. No Assignment. This Agreement is personal in nature and no party
hereto shall assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its or his respective
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other
party hereto.

         11. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be delivered in person or by certified or
registered United States mail, return receipt requested, at the address set
forth opposite the intended recipient's name below. Either party may by notice
to the other party hereto change the address of the party to whom notice is to
be given. The date of notice shall be the date delivered, if delivered in
person, or the date received, if delivered by mail.

         12. Waiver. The waiver by either party of any term or provision of this
Agreement in any one or more instances shall not be construed as a further or
continuing waiver of such term or provision or of any other term or provision of
this Agreement.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Employer and Employee have executed this Agreement
as of the date first set forth above.
