                 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                             September 30, 1996
  
  
       Acquisitions

       On September 3, 1996, the Registrant acquired, pursuant to a merger
       agreement through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, 100
       percent of the outstanding common stock of Transcisco Industries,
       Inc. in exchange for approximately, 1.3 million shares of common
       stock of the Registrant. Transcisco is a diversified railcar
       services company engaged in railcar maintenance and repair, specialty
       railcar leasing and management services and Russian rail
       transportation services through its 23.5 percent ownership of
       SFAT, Russia's leading private rail transportation firm.  

       The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method.  The
       operations of Transcisco have been included in the consolidated
       financial statements of the Registrant from the effective date of the
       acquisition.  Contribution from this acquisition to revenues and
       operating profit for the six month period ended September 30, 1996
       was not material.


       Subsequent Events

       On October 1, 1996, the Registrant's ocean-going marine vessel
       subsidiary, Halter Marine Group, Inc. ("Halter"), completed its
       previously announced initial public offering of three million shares
       of its common stock, representing approximately 17 percent of the
       total outstanding shares of common stock of Halter.  At the
       conclusion of the offering, the Registrant retained 15 million
       shares, or approximately 83 percent of the total outstanding common
       stock of Halter.  Halter used the net proceeds of approximately $29.6
       million from the stock offering to repay income taxes payable to the
       Registrant and a portion of the indebtedness incurred under Halter's
       new bank credit facility.

       Halter, based in Gulfport, MS, manufactures and markets a broad range
       of small- to mid-size commercial, military and government vessels,
       including offshore support vessels, offshore double-hull tank barges,
       patrol boats, landing craft, oceanographic research vessels,
       tugboats, towboats and luxury yachts.











  Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated         
     Financial Condition and Statement of Operations 
  
  
  
                           Financial Condition
  
  The increase in 'Property, plant and equipment, at cost: Excluding
  Leasing Subsidiary' and 'Other assets' at September 30, 1996 compared
  to March 31, 1996 is primarily due to the acquisition of Transcisco
  Industries, Inc. in the second quarter of the current year.  'Other
  assets' includes the investment in SFAT recorded on the equity
  method. The decrease in 'Receivables' at September 30, 1996 compared
  to March 31, 1996 is primarily due to payments received from certain 
  customer accounts at the end of the quarter.  
  
  
                         Statement of Operations
  
                 Six Months Ended September 30, 1996 vs.
                   Six Months Ended September 30, 1995
  
  'Revenues' increased in the current six month period compared to the
  same period of the prior year due primarily to increased business in
  the Railcars, Marine Products, and Construction Products segments. 
  The Railcars segment continued to benefit from the existing
  replacement cycle and associated market demand.  The replacement
  cycle for various types of vessels are also playing an important 
  role in creating more demand in the Marine Products segment. 
  Additionally, 'Revenues' of the Marine Products segment increased due
  to the completed expansion of certain of its facilities and the
  resulting increases in throughput.  'Revenues' of the Construction 
  Products segment for the current period were higher due to the
  improved demand for highway safety products, coupled with continuing
  demand for ready-mix concrete and aggregates.  With the emphasis in
  the repair and upgrading of the nation's highway system, demand for
  construction products is expected to remain positive.      
  
  The increase in 'Operating profit' in the current period is
  principally due to improved results from the Railcars, Marine
  Products, Construction Products, and Containers segments.
  
  
                Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 vs.
                  Three Months Ended September 30, 1995
  
  'Revenues' and 'Operating profit' increased primarily due to the 
  improved results in the Marine Products segment.  The results are due
  to the reasons stated above.
