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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash flows from operating activities increased to $5,822,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 from $3,336,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1994.

During the third quarter of 1995, the Company paid a dividend of 2.5 cents
per share.

In February 1994, the Company fixed the interest rate on its $8,000,000
Term Loan at 7.95% per annum through February 28, 1997. The amount
outstanding on the Term Loan at September 30, 1995 was $5,810,000. The
amounts borrowed under the Company's $6,000,000 Revolving Credit Loan were
completely repaid during the third quarter of 1995.

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 customers the Company currently is unable to
serve. The project is expected to cost approximately $5-6 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues increased from $10,534,000 in the third quarter of 1994 to
$11,106,000 in the third quarter of 1995, an increase of $572,000 or 5.4%.
This resulted from a 3.6% increase in sales volume and a 1.8% increase in
prices. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased by
13.7% over 1994, caused by a 14.0% increase in sales volume and a 0.3%
decrease in prices. Demand remained strong during the third quarter and
first nine months of 1995.

The Company's gross profit was $3,001,000 in the third quarter of 1995,
compared to $2,910,000 in the third quarter of 1994, a 3.1% increase. This
increase in gross profit is attributed to the increase in revenues. Gross
profit margin decreased for the third quarter of 1995 to 27.0%, from 27.6%
in 1994. Gross profit increased to $8,236,000 in the first nine months of
1995, from $5,946,000 in the first nine months of 1994, a 38.5% increase.
Gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased
to 26.4%, from 21.7% in 1994. The increase in revenues, improved
production efficiencies, and no amortization of cost in excess of net
assets acquired all contributed to the increased gross profit and gross
profit margin for the first nine months of 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased in the third
quarter of 1995 ($1,130,000), from the comparable period in 1994
($1,289,000), in spite of the 3.6% increase in sales volume. As a result,
SG&A as a percentage of sales decreased to 10.2%, from 12.2% a year
earlier. The majority of the decrease in SG&A was the result of a recovery
of an allowance for doubtful accounts. In the first nine months of 1995,
SG&A decreased by $116,000 compared to 1994, and as a percentage of sales
decreased to 11.8%, from 13.9%.





6
8
Interest expense decreased in both the third quarter and the first nine
months of 1995 over 1994, by $67,000 and $164,000, respectively. This
decrease was due to decreases in the Revolving Credit Loan and the Term
Loan balances.

Other, net, increased by $235,000 in the third quarter of 1995 due in large
part, to the sale of various surplus equipment. Other, net decreased by
$227,000 in the first nine months of 1995, as a result principally of the
$425,000 ($340,000 net of taxes) benefit recorded in the second quarter of
1994, due to the expiration of certain potential post-closing obligations
relating to the sale of the assets of Virginia Lime Company in 1992. See
footnote 4 to the December 31, 1994 Financial Statements for more
information.

The Company's net income in the third quarter of 1995 increased $436,000,
or 39.7% from $1,099,000 ($0.29 per share) in the third quarter of 1994, to
$1,535,000 ($0.40 per share). For the first nine months of 1995, the
Company recorded net income of $3,401,000 ($0.89 per share), a 122.7%
increase over net income of $1,527,000 ($0.40 per share) in the first nine
months of 1994.
