3. Banking Facilities and Other Debt

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
$278,000, which began April 30, 2000, with a final principal payment of
$26,944,000 on March 30, 2007, which equates to a 15-year amortization. The
Company paid a fee equivalent to 2.50% of the Loan value to the placement
agent.

Upon execution of the Loan agreement, the first $30,000,000 was
advanced, of which approximately $20,000,000 was used to retire all
then-existing bank loans, with the balance used primarily for the
modernization and expansion of the Arkansas operations. Under the terms of
the Loan agreement, the remaining $20,000,000 of the Loan facility was
drawn down in four equal quarterly installments beginning June 30, 1999,
and ending March 30, 2000.



5
6


The interest rate on the first $30,000,000 of the Loan is 8.875%. The
subsequent installments bear interest from the date they were funded at
3.52% above the secondary market yield of the United States Treasury
obligation maturing May 15, 2005. The blended rate for the additional
$20,000,000 is 9.65%.

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 have been used to secure the Company's revolving credit facility. The
Loan agreement contains covenants that restrict the incurrence of debt,
guaranties and liens, and places 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.

On December 27, 2000, the Company obtained a $5,000,000 bridge loan
under normal commercial terms from Inberdon Enterprise, Ltd. ("Inberdon"),
evidenced by a subordinated promissory note. Inberdon owned approximately
51% of the outstanding common stock of the Company at the time. The bridge
loan was unsecured, bore interest at 9.75%, and had to be repaid by March
27, 2001. The bridge loan was repaid with a portion of the proceeds of the
Company's rights offering that closed on February 8, 2001. See Note 4.

As of April 26, 2001, the Company renewed its revolving credit
facility, which now expires on May 31, 2002. The revolving credit facility
was increased from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000 and bears interest at LIBOR
plus 1.40%, which rate will increase to a maximum of LIBOR plus 3.55% 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). At July 31, 2001, the Company had drawn down
$2,825,000, and the average interest rate was 8.00%

4. Rights Offering

On December 26, 2000, the Company initiated a rights offering for
$10,000,000. As a result of the rights offering, the Company received
$10,000,000 and issued an additional 1,818,181 shares effective February 8,
2001.

5. Loss Contingencies

On November 2, 2000, a husband and wife who own land in proximity to
the Texas Lime facility filed a suit against the Company and Texas Lime
company, a subsidiary of the Company, in the 249th Judicial District Court,
Johnson County, Texas. The suit alleges that the Texas Lime facility is out
of place in its surroundings, and that it has improperly released emissions
that have caused property damage and personal injury to the plaintiffs. The
suit purports to seek class action certification of all individuals who own
property or reside within a five-mile radius of the facility. The amount of
damage is unspecified.


The Company and Texas Lime company have entered into discussions with
the plaintiffs in an effort to better understand the nature of their
claims, and the type of relief sought. Based on the Company's current
understanding of the facts involved in this matter, management is of the
opinion that the matter will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition, results of operation, or cash flow.



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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,720,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2001, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of
$2,225,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The decrease in cash was
primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts payable as a result of the
completion of the Arkansas modernization and expansion project and an increase
in accounts receivable due to increased sales volumes.

The Company invested $3,478,000 in capital expenditures in the first six
months of 2001, compared to $14,112,000 in the same period last year. Capital
expenditures of approximately $1,506,000 were related to the completion of Phase
I of the modernization and expansion project at the Arkansas facility in the
first six months of 2001, as compared to capital expenditures of approximately
$10,683,000 on the project for the same period last year.

During the fourth quarter 2000, the Company required additional capital
because the costs to complete both Phase I of the Arkansas modernization and
expansion project and the new pulverized limestone production line at Texas were
significantly higher than originally anticipated and because the Company's cash
flow and operating profits were lower than expected. To meet its short-term
liquidity demands, the Company determined to make a pro-rata rights offering to
its existing shareholders to raise $10,000,000 in additional equity capital.

On December 27, 2000, the Company obtained a $5,000,000 bridge loan
("Bridge Loan") under normal commercial terms from Inberdon Enterprise, Ltd.
("Inberdon"), its majority shareholder. Inberdon owned approximately 51% of the
outstanding common stock of the Company at the time the Bridge Loan was made.
The Bridge Loan was unsecured, carried interest at 9.75%, and matured on March
27, 2001.

The Company commenced the rights offering on December 26, 2000, and it
closed on February 8, 2001. In the rights offering, the Company raised an
additional $10,000,000 in equity capital and issued 1,818,181 shares of common
stock at the subscription price of $5.50 per share. The net proceeds of the
rights offering were used to repay the $5,000,000 Bridge Loan from Inberdon, to
repay the Company's then-outstanding $4,000,000 revolving credit facility, and
for working capital. As a result of the rights offering, Inberdon now owns
approximately 59% of the Company's outstanding common stock.

In addition, in late April 2001, the Company renewed and increased to
$5,000,000 the revolving credit facility. The $5,000,000 revolving credit
facility now expires in May 2002. At July 31, 2001, the company had drawn down
$2,825,000 from the facility. The Company believes that funds generated from
operations and still available under the revolving credit facility will be
sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity and capital needs for the remainder
of 2001.

During the fourth quarter 2000, the Company commissioned a new line for the
production of pulverized limestone at Texas Lime Company. This investment allows
the Company to pursue new business opportunities and to better serve existing
customers. The lack of reliability of a single production line was a restraining
factor on sales to several large customers requiring "around-the-clock"
availability. The new line resulted in new customers during the first and second
quarters 2001. During the first quarter 2001, certain additions were made to
this production line to enhance its ability to produce pulverized limestone more
consistently during inclement weather conditions. The total cost of the new
pulverized limestone production line was approximately $2,300,000.

As previously disclosed, as of the fourth quarter 2000, Phase I of the
modernization and expansion project for the Arkansas plant required additional
work in order to be fully operational and efficient. The Company completed this
work in the second quarter 2001.

Phase I of the Arkansas project involved the redevelopment of the quarry
plant, rebuilding of the railroad to standard U.S. gauge, and installation of a
rotary kiln with a preheater, and provides the Company with increased product
storage and loading capacity. The new kiln, which began production in October
2000, is producing excellent quality lime and has enabled the Company to attract
new customers that it previously could not serve. The estimated cost of Phase I
was approximately $34,000,000, but this amount is subject to change upon the
resolution of various outstanding matters with a contractor. The $34,000,000
includes approximately $1,800,000 of costs associated with the pre-building of
certain facilities for Phase II of the Arkansas project and the purchase of, but
not all of the improvements to, the out-of-state terminal in Shreveport,
Louisiana.

9


Phase II of the Arkansas project will further expand the plant capacity
through the installation of a second kiln with additional storage capacity and
includes the establishment of the out-of-state terminal in Shreveport, Louisiana
for the distribution of the Company's products. The Company may complete the
terminal before proceeding with Phase II.

Arkansas Phase II is estimated to cost approximately $12,000,000, not
including the $1,800,000 spent as part of Phase I. The Company still plans to
proceed with Phase II and will continue to review the optimum time to start the
project based on its future operating results, market demand, and ability to
secure competitive construction bids and financing.

The Company is not contractually committed to any planned capital
expenditures until actual orders are placed for equipment. As of June 30, 2001,
the Company had no liability for open equipment and construction orders.

As of June 30, 2001, the Company had $48,658,000 in total debt outstanding.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues increased to $10,812,000 in the second quarter 2001 from
$8,450,000 in the second quarter 2000, an increase of $2,362,000, or 28.0%. The
increase resulted from a 25.5% increase in sales volume and a 2.5% increase in
prices. The increase in sales volumes was primarily attributed to increased lime
sales at Arkansas and increased pulverized limestone sales at Texas, as a result
of the Company's modernization and expansion efforts at the two facilities. In
addition, second quarter 2001 lime sales volumes were higher at Texas due to
increased production efficiencies in the period compared to the second quarter
2000, which was adversely impacted by flooding.

During the second quarter 2001, demand remained strong in the Texas market.
However, the markets served by the Arkansas plant are tightening due to a number
of factors including the added new capacity and weaknesses in the steel and
paper markets.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were $19,503,000, an
increase of $3,367,000, or 20.9%, from the $16,136,000 reported for the six
months ended June 30, 2000. The increase resulted from a 19.3 % increase in
sales volume and a 1.6% increase in prices.

The Company's gross profit was $3,298,000 for the second quarter 2001,
compared to $1,669,000 for the second quarter 2000, a 97.6% increase. Gross
profit margin as a percentage of revenues for the second quarter 2001 increased
to 30.5% from 19.8% in the same period 2000. Gross profit increased to
$4,749,000 for the first six months 2001, from $3,638,000 for the first six
months 2000, a 30.5% increase. Gross profit margin for the six months ended June
30, 2001 increased to 24.4%, from 22.5% in the same period 2000.

Gross profit and gross profit margins improved during the second quarter
and for the first six months 2001, due to the increased sales volumes and
increased production efficiencies at both the Texas and Arkansas facilities.
These increases helped to overcome the negative impact of higher depreciation
expense resulting from the Company's modernization and expansion efforts, as
well as high fuel prices. In addition, gross profit and gross profit margins for
the second quarter 2000 were negatively impacted by the flooding at the Texas
facility.

Although the cost of natural gas decreased in the second quarter 2001, the
Company was negatively impacted by a total fuel (coal, coke and natural gas)
price variance of approximately $900,000 for the first six months 2001, compared
to the first six months last year. The cost of electricity was also higher in
the first half 2001 than in the first half 2000, due to the utility companies
passing on their higher costs of fuel to produce the energy.

The Company believes that the enhanced production capacity resulting from
its modernization and expansion efforts and the operational strategies
implemented by management earlier this year should allow the company to continue
to increase production, improve product quality, and better serve existing
customers and attract new customers. During the first six months 2001, the
Company focused on increasing sales volumes, improving production efficiencies,
reducing the size of the work force, containing costs, and implementing other
management strategies to improve results of operations and maximize cash flow.
To the extent that the Company's sales may be impacted by the slowing economy,
and while the company continues to absorb increased energy costs, the Company
must continue to work on further improving production efficiencies and
containing costs at both plants, and seek additional sales for the increased
capacity at the Arkansas facility, in order for the Company to sustain its
current levels of revenues and gross profit.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased by $65,000,
or 7.6%, to $918,000 in the second quarter 2001, as compared to $853,000 in the
second quarter 2000. However, as a percentage of sales, SG&A decreased to 8.5%,
from 10.1% in the same period a year earlier. SG&A increased by $162,000, or
9.0%, to $1,970,000 in the first six months 2001, as compared to $1,808,000 in
the first six months 2000, while decreasing, as a percentage of sales to 10.1%
from 11.2%.

Interest expense in the second quarter 2001 was $1,010,000, after $211,000
had been capitalized as part of the Arkansas Phase I project costs. This
compares to $917,000, in the second quarter 2000, after $306,000 had been
capitalized. Interest expense for the first six months 2001 was $1,671,000, as
compared to 1,821,000 in 2000. Interest costs of approximately $845,000 and
$506,000 were capitalized in the first six months 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Other income decreased by $298,000 to $12,000 in the second quarter 2001,
as compared to $310,000 in the second quarter 2000. Other income decreased by
$496,000 to $54,000 for the first six months 2001, as compared to $550,000 in
the same period 2000. The decrease was primarily attributable to interest income
received on funds held in escrow during the first six months 2000 to finance
Phase I of the Company's Arkansas project.

The Company reported net income of $1,036,000 ($0.18 per share) during the
second quarter 2001, compared to net income of $157,000 ($0.04 per share) during
the second quarter 2000, an increase of 559.9%. For the first six months 2000,
the Company reported net income of $871,000 ($0.16 per share), compared to net
income of $419,000 ($0.11 per share) in the first six months 2000, an increase
of 107.9%. The Company achieved the increase in earnings per share for the first
six months 2001 even after taking into account the 1,818,181 (45.7%) increase in
number of shares outstanding as a result of the successful completion of the
company's rights offering on February 8, 2001.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On November 2, 2000, a husband and wife who own land in proximity to
the Texas Lime facility filed a suit against the Company and Texas Lime
company, a subsidiary of the Company, in the 249th Judicial District Court,
Johnson County, Texas. The suit alleges that the Texas Lime facility is out
of place in its surroundings, and that it has improperly released emissions
that have caused property damage and personal injury to the plaintiffs. The
suit purports to seek class action certification of all individuals who own
property or reside within a five-mile radius of the facility. The amount of
damage is unspecified.

The Company and Texas Lime company have entered into
discussions with the plaintiffs in an effort to better understand the
nature of their claims, and the type of relief sought. Based on the
Company's current understanding of the facts involved in this matter,
management is of the opinion that the matter will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operation,
or cash flow.
