NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries is a leading supplier of heavy construction materials in the United States through our three business segments: cement, aggregates and consumer products. Our principal products are gray portland cement, produced and sold through our cement segment; stone, sand and gravel, produced and sold through our aggregates segment; and ready-mix concrete, produced and sold through our consumer products segment. Other products include expanded shale and clay lightweight aggregates, produced and sold through our aggregates segment, and packaged concrete mix, mortar, sand and related products, produced and sold through our consumer products segment. Our facilities are concentrated primarily in Texas, Louisiana and California. When used in these notes the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended August 31, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended May 31, 2010. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Texas Industries, Inc. for the year ended May 31, 2009.

Principles of Consolidation . The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas Industries, Inc. and all subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of a former qualified intermediary trust, in which we were the primary beneficiary. The trust accounts were established in connection with our tax deferred like-kind-exchange property acquisition transactions under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation or adjusted to reflect changes we made to prior period interim financial information related to our aggregate inventory in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2009. See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2009.

Subsequent Events. We evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on September 25, 2009. We are not aware of any significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Estimates . The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents . Investments with maturities of less than 90 days when purchased are classified as cash equivalents and consist primarily of money market funds and investment grade commercial paper issued by major corporations and financial institutions.

Receivables. Management evaluates the ability to collect accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. A reserve for doubtful accounts is maintained based on the length of time receivables are past due or the status of a customer’s financial condition. If we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to make required payments, specific amounts are added to the reserve.

Environmental Liabilities. We are subject to environmental laws and regulations established by federal, state and local authorities, and make provision for the estimated costs related to compliance when it is probable that a reasonably estimable liability has been incurred.

Legal Contingencies. We are a defendant in lawsuits which arose in the normal course of business, and make provision for the estimated loss from any claim or legal proceeding when it is probable that a reasonably estimable liability has been incurred.

Table of Contents

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. We used the last-in, first out (“LIFO”) method to value finished products, work in process and raw material inventories excluding natural aggregate inventories. Natural aggregate inventories and parts and supplies inventories are valued using the average cost method. Our natural aggregate inventory excludes volumes in excess of an average twelve-month period of actual sales.

Long-lived Assets. Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable and would record an impairment charge if necessary. Such evaluations compare the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset and are significantly impacted by estimates of future prices for our products, capital needs, economic trends and other factors.

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. Costs incurred to construct certain long-lived assets include capitalized interest which is amortized over the estimated useful life of the related asset. Interest is capitalized during the construction period of qualified assets based on the average amount of accumulated expenditures and the weighted average interest rate applicable to borrowings outstanding during the period. If accumulated expenditures exceed applicable borrowings outstanding during the period, capitalized interest is allocated to projects under construction on a pro rata basis. Provisions for depreciation are computed generally using the straight-line method. Useful lives for our primary operating facilities range from 10 to 25 years with certain cement facility structures having useful lives of 40 years. Provisions for depletion of mineral deposits are computed on the basis of the estimated quantity of recoverable raw materials. The cost of all post-production stripping costs, which represents costs of removing overburden and waste materials to access mineral deposits, is recognized as a cost of the inventory produced during the period the stripping costs are incurred. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Goodwill . Management tests goodwill for impairment annually by reporting unit in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year using a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test identifies potential impairment by comparing the face value of a reporting unit to its carrying value including goodwill. In applying a fair-value-based test, estimates are made of the expected future cash flows to be derived from the reporting unit. Similar to the review for impairment of other long-lived assets, the resulting fair value determination is significantly impacted by estimates of future prices for our products, capital needs, economic trends and other factors. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination.

Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of ready-mix operations in Texas and Louisiana and identified with our consumer products operations has a carrying value of $1.7 million at both August 31, 2009 and May 31, 2009. Based on an impairment test performed as of March 31, 2009, the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value.

Real Estate and Investments. Surplus real estate and real estate acquired for development of high quality industrial, office or multi-use parks totaled $6.0 million at both August 31, 2009 and May 31, 2009.

Investments include life insurance contracts purchased in connection with certain of our benefit plans. The contracts, recorded at their net cash surrender value, totaled $1.7 million (net of distributions of $80.4 million plus accrued interest and fees) at August 31, 2009 and $4.0 million (net of distributions of $89.5 million plus accrued interest and fees) at May 31, 2009. We can elect to receive distributions chargeable against the cash surrender value of the policies in the form of borrowings or withdrawals or we can elect to surrender the policies and receive their net cash surrender value. Distributions and policy surrenders totaling $8.1 million and $3.5 million were received in the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively.

Deferred Charges and Other. Deferred charges are composed primarily of debt issuance costs that totaled $10.3 million at August 31, 2009 and $9.0 million at May 31, 2009. The costs are amortized over the term of the related debt.

Other Credits. Other credits totaled $73.8 million at August 31, 2009 and $72.3 million at May 31, 2009 and are composed primarily of liabilities related to our retirement plans, deferred compensation agreements and asset retirement obligations.

Table of Contents

Asset Retirement Obligations. We record a liability for legal obligations associated with the retirement of our long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value of the obligation can be made. The discounted fair value of the obligation incurred in each period is added to the carrying amount of the associated assets and depreciated over the lives of the assets. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through a charge to operating expense. A gain or loss on settlement is recognized if the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability.

We incur legal obligations for asset retirement as part of our normal operations related to land reclamation, plant removal and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act closures. Determining the amount of an asset retirement liability requires estimating the future cost of contracting with third parties to perform the obligation. The estimate is significantly impacted by, among other considerations, management’s assumptions regarding the scope of the work required, labor costs, inflation rates, market-risk premiums and closure dates.

Changes in asset retirement obligations are as follows:

   $      4,493      $      4,043
                

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss represent adjustments related to a defined benefit retirement plan and a postretirement health benefit plan covering approximately 600 employees and retirees of our California cement subsidiary. The amounts totaled $13.4 million (net of tax of $7.7 million) at August 31, 2009 and $13.7 million (net of tax of $7.9 million) at May 31, 2009.

Comprehensive income for the three-month periods ending August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008 consisted of net income and amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss recognized in the periods as components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost, net of tax. Comprehensive income was $2.0 million and $10.8 million in the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively.

Net Sales. Sales are recognized when title has transferred and products are delivered. We include delivery fees in the amount we bill customers to the extent needed to recover our cost of freight and delivery. Net sales are presented as revenues and include these delivery fees.

Other Income. Routine sales of surplus operating assets and real estate resulted in gains of $1.0 million and $0.3 million in the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively. In addition, other income in the three-month period ended August 31, 2008 includes a gain of $1.7 million from the sale of emission credits associated with our California cement operations. We have entered into various oil and gas lease agreements on property we own in north Texas. The terms of the agreements include the payment of a lease bonus and royalties on any oil and gas produced. However, we cannot guaranty what the level of royalties, if any, will be. Other income in the three-month period ended August 31, 2008 includes $4.6 million representing lease bonus payments received.

Stock-based Compensation. Effective June 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” utilizing the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, we account for awards granted prior to adoption, but for which the vesting period is not complete, on a prospective basis with expense being recognized in our statement of operations based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted as of the date of grant. Options with graded vesting are valued as single awards and the related compensation cost is recognized using a straight-line attribution method over the shorter of the vesting period or required service period adjusted for estimated forfeitures. We use the average stock price on the date of grant to determine the fair value of restricted stock awards paid. A liability, which is included in other credits, is recorded for stock appreciation rights, deferred compensation agreements and stock awards expected to be settled in cash, based on their fair value at the end of each period until such awards are paid.

Income Taxes . Accounting for income taxes uses the liability method of recognizing and classifying deferred income taxes. Texas Industries, Inc. (the parent company) joins in filing a consolidated return with its subsidiaries. Current and deferred tax expense is allocated among the members of the group based on a stand-alone calculation of the tax of the individual member. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense.

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is computed by adjusting net income for the participation in earnings of unvested restricted shares outstanding, then dividing by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period including contingently issuable shares and excluding outstanding unvested restricted shares.

Contingently issuable shares relate to deferred compensation agreements in which directors elected to defer annual and meeting fees and vested shares under our former stock awards program. The deferred compensation is denominated in shares of our common stock and issued in accordance with the terms of the agreement subsequent to retirement or separation from us. The shares are considered contingently issuable because the director has an unconditional right to the shares to be issued. Vested stock award shares are issued in the year in which the employee reaches age 60.

Diluted EPS adjusts net income and the outstanding shares for the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted shares and awards.

Basic and Diluted EPS are calculated as follows:

Recent Accounting Developments. In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.” SFAS No. 165 establishes authoritative accounting and disclosure guidance for recognized and non-recognized subsequent events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. SFAS No. 165 also requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. SFAS No. 165 was effective for our Company beginning with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended August 31, 2009, and will be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. We adopted SFAS No. 159 effective June 1, 2008. At this time, we have not elected to use the fair value measures permitted by this standard.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. This standard was effective for our Company on June 1, 2008. However, in February 2008, the FASB released FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). SFAS No. 157 became effective for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities on June 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for our nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities has not had a current material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

2. Working Capital

Provisions for bad debts charged to expense were $0.9 million and $0.3 million in the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively. Uncollectible accounts written off totaled $0.2 million and $0.1 million in the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively.

All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Finished products, work in process and raw material inventories excluding natural aggregate inventories are valued using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. Natural aggregate finished product and raw material inventories and parts and supplies inventories are valued using the average cost method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. If the average cost method (which approximates current replacement cost) had been used for all of these inventories, inventory values would have been higher by $53.3 million at August 31, 2009 and $47.0 million at May 31, 2009.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. On June 19, 2009, we amended and restated our credit agreement and the associated security agreement. The credit agreement continues to provide for a $200 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a $50 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The credit facility matures on August 15, 2012. Amounts drawn under the credit facility bear annual interest either at the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 3.5% to 4.0% or at a base rate plus a margin of 2.5% to 3.0%. The base rate is the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, the prime rate established by Bank of America, N.A. or the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%. The interest rate margins are determined based on our leverage ratio. The commitment fee calculated on the unused portion of the credit facility ranges from 0.50% to 0.75% per year based on our leverage ratio. We may terminate the credit facility at any time.

The amount that can be borrowed under the credit facility is limited to an amount based on the value of our consolidated accounts receivable, inventory and mobile equipment. This amount, called the borrowing base, may be less than the $200 million stated principal amount of the credit facility. Our current borrowing base under our amended agreement is $166.5 million. No borrowings were outstanding at August 31, 2009; however, $28.4 million of the borrowing base was utilized to support letters of credit.

Table of Contents

All of our consolidated subsidiaries have guaranteed our obligations under the credit facility. The credit facility is secured by first priority security interests in all or most of our existing and future consolidated accounts, inventory, equipment, intellectual property and other personal property, and in all of our equity interests in present and future domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the equity interest in any future foreign subsidiaries, if any.

The credit agreement contains a number of covenants restricting, among other things, prepayment or redemption of our senior notes, distributions and dividends on and repurchases of our capital stock, acquisitions and investments, indebtedness, liens and affiliate transactions. We are not required to maintain any financial ratios or covenants unless an event of default occurs or borrowing availability under the borrowing base is less than $40 million, in which case we must comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio. We are permitted to pay cash dividends on our common stock as long as the credit facility is not in default, the fixed charge coverage ratio is greater than 1.1 to 1.0 and borrowing availability under the borrowing base is more than $50 million. We were in compliance with all of these loan covenants as of August 31, 2009.

7.25% Senior Notes. On August 18, 2008, we sold $300 million aggregate principal amount of additional 7.25% senior notes at an offering price of 93.25%. The additional notes were issued under our existing indenture dated July 6, 2005. The net proceeds were used to repay our $150 million senior term loan and borrowings outstanding under our senior secured revolving credit facility in the amount of $29.5 million, with additional proceeds available for general corporate purposes. We recognized a loss on debt retirement of $0.9 million representing a write-off of debt issuance costs associated with the mandatory prepayment of the term loan.

At August 31, 2009, we had $550 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes outstanding. Under the indenture, we may redeem the notes at a premium of 103.625% in 2009, 101.813% in 2010 and 100% in 2011 and thereafter. If we experience a change of control, we may be required to offer to purchase the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest.

All of our consolidated subsidiaries have unconditionally guaranteed the 7.25% senior notes. The indenture governing the notes contains covenants that will limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our stock, make investments, sell assets, incur liens, enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends, enter into transactions with affiliates and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

Other. Required principal payments on long-term debt, excluding the capital lease obligation, for each of the five years succeeding August 31, 2009 are none for 2010 through 2012 and $550.0 million for 2013 and none for 2014. The total amount of interest paid was $23.5 million and $13.7 million during the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively. The total amount of interest incurred was $13.2 million and $9.0 million in the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively, of which $1.8 million was capitalized in the three-month period ended August 31, 2008.

4. Commitments

During October 2007, we commenced construction on a project to expand our Hunter, Texas cement plant. In light of current economic and market conditions, we have delayed completion of the project. We believe it is likely that current cement demand levels in Texas will not permit the new kiln to operate profitably if the project is completed as originally scheduled. We expect cement demand to rebound in the future and we will resume construction when future economic and market conditions indicate it is appropriate. The pause in construction began in May 2009. As of August 31, 2009, we have incurred approximately $294.5 million, excluding capitalized interest of approximately $16.3 million related to the project, of which $288.6 million has been expended. The project is 85-90% complete. Until we determine the date that we will resume construction, we cannot accurately estimate the cost of completing the project.

There are authorized 100,000 shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, no par value, of which 20,000 shares are designated $5 Cumulative Preferred Stock (Voting), redeemable at $105 per share and entitled to $100 per share upon dissolution. An additional 40,000 shares are designated Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is not redeemable and ranks, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, junior to (i) all other series of the Preferred Stock unless the terms of any other series shall provide otherwise and (ii) the $5 Cumulative Preferred Stock. No shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock were outstanding as of August 31, 2009. Pursuant to a Rights Agreement, in November 2006, we distributed a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of our Common Stock. Each right entitles the holder to purchase from us one one-thousandth of a share of the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a price of $300, subject to adjustment. The rights will expire on November 1, 2016 unless the date is extended or the rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by us pursuant to the Rights Agreement.

6. Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Texas Industries, Inc. 2004 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2004 Plan”) provides that, in addition to other types of awards, non-qualified and incentive stock options to purchase Common Stock may be granted to employees and non-employee directors at market prices at date of grant. In addition, non-qualified and incentive stock options remain outstanding under our 1993 Stock Option Plan.

Options become exercisable in installments beginning one year after the date of grant and expire ten years after the date of grant. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Options with graded vesting are valued as single awards and the compensation cost recognized using a straight-line attribution method over the shorter of the vesting period or required service period adjusted for estimated forfeitures. No options were granted during the three-month period ended August 31, 2009. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the three-month period ended August 31, 2008 was $23.95 based on weighted average assumptions for expected volatility of .360, expected lives of 10 years, risk-free interest rates of 4.00% and expected dividend yields of .62%.

Expected volatility is based on an analysis of historical volatility of our common stock. Expected lives of options are determined based on the historical share option exercise experience of our optionees. Risk-free interest rates are determined using the implied yield currently available for zero coupon U.S. treasury issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options. Expected dividend yields are based on the approved annual dividend rate in effect and the market price of our common stock at the time of grant.

A summary of option transactions for the three-month period ended August 31, 2009, follows:

Outstanding options expire on various dates to January 14, 2019. As of August 31, 2009, we have reserved 1,255,775 shares for future awards under the 2004 Plan.

As of August 31, 2009, the aggregate intrinsic value (the difference in the closing market price of our common stock of $39.76 and the exercise price to be paid by the optionee) of stock options outstanding was $13.6 million. The aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable stock options at that date was $7.9 million. The total intrinsic value for options exercised (the difference in the market price of our common stock on the exercise date and the price paid by the optionee to exercise the option) was $0.5 million and $0.8 million for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively.

We have provided additional stock-based compensation to employees and directors under stock appreciation rights contracts, deferred compensation agreements, restricted stock payments and a former stock awards program. At August 31, 2009, outstanding stock appreciation rights totaled 155,979 shares, deferred compensation agreements to be settled in cash totaled 100,126 shares, deferred compensation agreements to be settled in common stock totaled 9,343 shares, unvested restricted stock payments totaled 18,000 shares and stock awards totaled 3,499 shares. Other credits included $7.5 million at August 31, 2009 and $6.0 million at May 31, 2009 representing accrued stock-based compensation which is expected to be settled in cash.

Total stock-based compensation included in selling, general and administrative expense (credit) was $2.6 million and $(4.1) million in the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively. The impact of changes in our company’s stock price on stock-based awards accounted for as liabilities increased stock-based compensation $1.6 million in the three-month period ended August 31, 2009 and reduced stock-based compensation $5.1 million in the three-month period ended August 31, 2008. The total tax expense (benefit) recognized in our statements of operations for stock-based compensation was $(0.8) million and $1.7 million in the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively. The total tax benefit realized for stock-based compensation was $0.2 million and $1.2 million in the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively.

As of August 31, 2009, $8.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options, stock appreciation rights contracts, restricted stock payments and stock awards is expected to be recognized. We currently expect to recognize in the years succeeding August 31, 2009 approximately $3.4 million of this stock-based compensation expense in 2010, $2.4 million in 2011, $1.6 million in 2012, $0.8 million in 2013 and $0.3 million in 2014.

7. Retirement Plans

Riverside Defined Benefit Plans. Approximately 600 employees and retirees of our California cement subsidiary, Riverside Cement Company, are covered by a defined benefit pension plan and a postretirement health benefit plan. Unrecognized prior service costs and actuarial gains or losses for these plans are recognized in a systematic manner over the remaining service periods of active employees expected to receive benefits under these plans. The amount of the defined benefit pension plan and postretirement health benefit plan expense charged to costs and expenses for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, was as follows:

Financial Security Defined Benefit Plans. We have a series of financial security plans that are non-qualified defined benefit plans providing retirement and death benefits to substantially all of our executive and key managerial employees. The plans are contributory but not funded. The amount of financial security plan benefit expense charged to costs and expenses for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, was as follows:

8. Income Taxes

Income taxes for the interim periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008 have been included in the accompanying financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual rate. The primary reason that the tax rate differs from the 35% federal statutory corporate rate is due to percentage depletion that is tax deductible, state income taxes and deductions for income from qualified domestic production activities. Our estimated effective tax rate for fiscal year 2010 is 47.4% compared to 30.7% for fiscal year 2009. We made income tax payments of less than $0.1 million and $1.9 million during the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively, and received income tax refunds of $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively.

In addition to our federal income tax return, we file income tax returns in various state jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to income tax examinations by federal tax authorities for years prior to 2007 and state tax authorities for years prior to 2006.

9. Legal Proceedings and Contingent Liabilities

We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws, regulations and permits concerning, among other matters, air emissions and wastewater discharge. We intend to comply with these laws, regulations and permits. However, from time to time we receive claims from federal and state environmental regulatory agencies and entities asserting that we are or may be in violation of certain of these laws, regulations and permits, or from private parties alleging that our operations have injured them or their property. It is possible that we could be held liable for future charges which might be material but are not currently known or estimable. In addition, changes in federal or state laws, regulations or requirements or discovery of currently unknown conditions could require additional expenditures by us.

In March 2008, the South Coast Air Quality Management District, or SCAQMD, informed one of our subsidiaries, Riverside Cement Company (Riverside), that it believed that dust blowing from open stockpiles of gray clinker or other operations at our Crestmore cement plant in Riverside, California caused the level of hexavalent chromium, or chrome 6, in the vicinity of the plant to be elevated above ambient air levels. Chrome 6 has been identified by the State of California as a carcinogen. Riverside immediately began taking steps, in addition to its normal dust control procedures, to reduce dust from plant operations and eliminate the use of open clinker stockpiles. In February 2008, the SCAQMD placed an air monitoring station at the downwind property line closest to the open clinker stockpiles. In the SCAQMD’s first public report of the results of its monitoring, over the period of February 12 to April 9, 2008, the average level of chrome 6 was 2.43 nanograms per cubic meter, or ng/m³. Since that time, the average level has decreased. The average levels of chrome 6 reported by the SCAQMD at all of the air monitoring stations in areas around the plant, including the station at the property line, are below 1.0 ng/m³ over the entire period of time it has operated the stations. The SCAQMD compared the level of exposure at the air monitor on our property line with the following employee exposure standards established by regulatory agencies:

 

Occupational Safety and Health Administration

     5,000 ng/m³

In public meetings conducted by the SCAQMD, it stated that the risk of long term exposure immediately adjacent to the plant is similar to living close to a busy freeway or rail yard, and it estimated an increased risk of 250 to 500 cancers per one million people, assuming continuous exposure for 70 years. Riverside has not determined how this particular risk number was calculated by SCAQMD. However, the Riverside Press Enterprise reported in a May 30, 2008 story that “John Morgan, a public health and epidemiology professor at Loma Linda University, said he looked at cancer cases reported from 1996 to 2005 in the … census [tract] nearest the [plant] and found no excess cases. That includes lung cancer, which is associated with exposure to hexavalent chromium.”

In late April 2008, a lawsuit was filed in Riverside County Superior Court of the State of California styled Virginia Shellman, et al. v. Riverside Cement Holdings Company, et a . The lawsuit against three of our subsidiaries purports to be a class action complaint for medical monitoring for a putative class defined as individuals who were allegedly exposed to chrome 6 emissions from our Crestmore cement plant. The complaint alleges an increased risk of future illness due to the exposure to chrome 6 and other toxic chemicals. The suit requests, among other things, establishment and funding of a medical testing and monitoring program for the class until their exposure to chrome 6 is no longer a threat to their health, as well as punitive and exemplary damages.

Since the Shellman lawsuit was filed, five additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed in the same court. The putative class in each of these cases is the same as or a subset of the putative class in the Shellman case, and the allegations and requests for relief are similar to those in the Shellman case. As a consequence, the court has stayed four of these lawsuits until the Shellman lawsuit is finally determined.

Since August 2008, 20 additional lawsuits have been filed in the same court against us or one or more of our subsidiaries containing allegations of personal injury and wrongful death by approximately 2,500 individual plaintiffs who were allegedly exposed to chrome 6 and other toxic or harmful substances in the air, water and soil caused by emissions from the Crestmore plant. The plaintiffs allege causes of action that vary somewhat from suit to suit, but typically include, among other things, negligence, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress, trespass, public and private nuisance, strict liability, willful misconduct, fraudulent concealment, wrongful death and loss of consortium. The plaintiffs generally request, among other things, general and punitive damages, medical expenses, loss of earnings, property damages and medical monitoring costs. Some of the suits include additional defendants, such as predecessor owners of Riverside and the owner of another cement plant located approximately four miles from the Crestmore plant.

Since January 2009, five lawsuits have been filed against us or one or more of our subsidiaries in the same court involving similar allegations, causes of action and requests for relief, but with respect to our Oro Grande, California cement plant instead of the Crestmore plant. The suits involve approximately 270 individual plaintiffs. Prior to the filing of the lawsuits, the air quality management district in whose jurisdiction the plant lies conducted air sampling from locations around the plant. None of the samples contained chrome 6 levels above 1.0 ng/m³.

We will vigorously defend all of these suits but we cannot predict what liability, if any, could arise from them. We also cannot predict whether any other suits may be filed against us alleging damages due to injuries to persons or property caused by claimed exposure to chrome 6.

We are defendants in other lawsuits which arose in the normal course of business. In management’s judgment the ultimate liability, if any, from such other legal proceedings will not have a material affect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

10. Business Segments

We have three business segments: cement, aggregates and consumer products. Our business segments are managed separately along product lines. Through the cement segment we produce and sell gray portland cement as our principal product, as well as specialty cements. Through the aggregates segment we produce and sell stone, sand and gravel as our principal products, as well as expanded shale and clay lightweight aggregates. Through the consumer products segment we produce and sell ready-mix concrete as our principal product, as well as packaged concrete mix, mortar, sand and related products. We account for intersegment sales at market prices. Segment operating profit consists of net sales less operating costs and expenses. Corporate includes those administrative, financial, legal, human resources, environmental and real estate activities which are not allocated to operations and are excluded from segment operating profit. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets that are used in each segment’s operation. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, real estate and other financial assets not identified with a business segment. We currently do not report unallocated overhead and other income – net as a separate part of total segment operating profit. Engineering and other income items previously reported in unallocated overhead and other income – net are reported in our cement segment. Environmental and other remaining overhead items previously reported in unallocated overhead and other income – net are reported in corporate. Prior period information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors

Texas Industries, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of August 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of May 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended [not presented herein], and in our report dated July 15, 2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2009, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

When used in this report the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We are a leading supplier of heavy construction materials in the United States through our three business segments: cement, aggregates and consumer products. Our principal products are gray portland cement, produced and sold through our cement segment; stone, sand and gravel, produced and sold through our aggregates segment; and ready-mix concrete, produced and sold through our consumer products segment. Other products include expanded shale and clay lightweight aggregates, produced and sold through our aggregates segment, and packaged concrete mix, mortar, sand and related products, produced and sold through our consumer products segment. Our facilities are concentrated primarily in Texas, Louisiana and California.

Management uses segment operating profit as its principal measure to assess performance and to allocate resources. Business segment operating profit consists of net sales less operating costs and expenses that are directly attributable to the segment. Corporate includes non-operating income and expenses related to administrative, financial, legal, human resources environmental and real estate activities. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation or adjusted to reflect changes we made to prior period interim financial information related to our aggregate inventory in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2009. See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2009.

The following is a summary of operating results for our business segments and certain other operating information related to our principal products.

Total segment sales for the three-month period ended August 31, 2009 were $85.2 million compared to $121.4 million for the prior year period. Cement sales decreased $32.9 million as construction activity declined in both our Texas and California market areas. Our Texas market area accounted for approximately 71% of cement sales in the current period compared to 69% of cement sales in the prior year period. Shipments in both our market areas decreased 25% from the prior year period. Average cement prices declined 3% in our Texas market area and 13% in our California market area.

Cost of products sold for the three-month period ended August 31, 2009 decreased $34.7 million from the prior year period primarily due to lower shipments. Cement unit costs decreased 13% from the prior year period on lower variable costs, including labor, energy, supplies and maintenance costs. In addition, scheduled shutdowns for maintenance at our California and central Texas cement plants increased unit costs in the prior year period.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the three-month period ended August 31, 2009 decreased $0.7 million from the prior year period. Lower overall selling and administrative expenses, including wages and benefits, marketing, travel and outside service expenses as a result of our focus on cost reduction initiatives were offset in part by $0.6 million higher provisions for bad debts and $0.5 million higher defined benefit plan expense.

Other income for the three-month period ended August 31, 2009 decreased $3.5 million from the prior year period. Other income in the prior period included a lease bonus payment of $2.8 million received upon the execution of an oil and gas lease on property we own in north Texas and a gain of $1.7 million from the sale of emission credits associated with our California cement operations.

Table of Contents

Selling, general and administrative expense for the three-month period ended August 31, 2009 increased $5.9 million from the prior year period. The increase was primarily the result of $6.6 million higher stock-based compensation offset in part by $0.4 million lower wages and benefits and $0.3 million lower insurance expense. Our stock-based compensation includes awards expected to be settled in cash, the expense for which is based on their fair value at the end of each period until the awards are paid. The impact of changes in our stock price on their fair value increased stock-based compensation $1.6 million in the three-month period ended August 31, 2009 and reduced stock-based compensation $5.1 million in the three-month period ended August 31, 2008.

Interest

Interest expense incurred for the three-month period ended August 31, 2009 was $13.2 million, all of which was expensed. Interest expense incurred for the three-month period ended August 31, 2008 was $9.0 million, of which $1.8 million was capitalized in connection with our Hunter, Texas cement plant expansion project and $7.2 million was expensed.

Interest expense incurred for the three-month period ended August 31, 2009 increased $4.2 million from the prior year period primarily as a result of higher average outstanding debt due to the sale of $300 million aggregate principal amount of additional 7.25% senior notes on August 18, 2008. We have delayed completion of the Hunter, Texas cement plant expansion and do not expect to capitalize any interest in connection with the project during the remainder of fiscal year 2010.

Loss on Debt Retirements

On August 18, 2008, we sold $300 million aggregate principal amount of additional 7.25% senior notes due in 2013 at an offering price of $93.25. The net proceeds were used to repay our $150 million senior term loan and borrowings outstanding under our senior revolving credit facility in the amount of $29.5 million. We recognized a loss on debt retirement of $0.9 million representing a write-off of debt issuance costs associated with the mandatory prepayment of the term loan.

Income Taxes

Income taxes for the interim periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008 have been included in the accompanying financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual rate. The primary reason that the tax rate differs from the 35% federal statutory corporate rate is due to percentage depletion that is tax deductible, state income taxes and deductions for income from qualified domestic production activities. Our estimated effective tax rate for fiscal year 2010 is 47.4% compared to 30.7% for fiscal year 2009.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In addition to cash and cash equivalents of $32.2 million at August 31, 2009, our sources of liquidity include cash from operations and borrowings available under our senior secured revolving credit facility.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. On June 19, 2009, we amended and restated our credit agreement and the associated security agreement. The credit agreement continues to provide for a $200 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a $50 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The credit facility matures on August 15, 2012. Amounts drawn under the credit facility bear annual interest either at the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 3.5% to 4.0% or at a base rate plus a margin of 2.5% to 3.0%. The base rate is the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, the prime rate established by Bank of America, N.A. or the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%. The interest rate margins are determined based on our leverage ratio. The commitment fee calculated on the unused portion of the credit facility ranges from 0.50% to 0.75% per year based on our leverage ratio. We may terminate the credit facility at any time.

The amount that can be borrowed under the credit facility is limited to an amount based on the value of our consolidated accounts receivable, inventory and mobile equipment. This amount, called the borrowing base, may be less than the $200 million stated principal amount of the credit facility. Our current borrowing base under our amended agreement is $166.5 million. No borrowings were outstanding at August 31, 2009; however, $28.4 million of the borrowing base was utilized to support letters of credit.

Table of Contents

All of our consolidated subsidiaries have guaranteed our obligations under the credit facility. The credit facility is secured by first priority security interests in all or most of our existing and future consolidated accounts, inventory, equipment, intellectual property and other personal property, and in all of our equity interests in present and future domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the equity interest in any future foreign subsidiaries, if any.

The credit agreement contains a number of covenants restricting, among other things, prepayment or redemption of our senior notes, distributions and dividends on and repurchases of our capital stock, acquisitions and investments, indebtedness, liens and affiliate transactions. We are not required to maintain any financial ratios or covenants unless an event of default occurs or borrowing availability under the borrowing base is less than $40 million, in which case we must comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio. We are permitted to pay cash dividends on our common stock as long as the credit facility is not in default, the fixed charge coverage ratio is greater than 1.1 to 1.0 and borrowing availability under the borrowing base is more than $50 million. We were in compliance with all of these loan covenants as of August 31, 2009.

As of August 31, 2009, there have been no material changes to our material contractual obligations described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2009.

During October 2007, we commenced construction on a project to expand our Hunter, Texas cement plant. In light of current economic and market conditions, we have delayed completion of the project. We believe it is likely that current cement demand levels in Texas will not permit the new kiln to operate profitably if the project is completed as originally scheduled. We expect cement demand to rebound in the future and we will resume construction when future economic and market conditions indicate it is appropriate. The pause in construction began in May 2009. As of August 31, 2009, we have incurred approximately $294.5 million, excluding capitalized interest of approximately $16.3 million related to the project, of which $288.6 million has been expended. The project is 85-90% complete. Until we determine the date that we will resume construction, we cannot accurately estimate the cost of completing the project.

We expect cash and cash equivalents, cash from operations and available borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility to be sufficient to provide funds for capital expenditure commitments currently estimated at $20 million to $30 million for fiscal year 2010 (assuming we do not resume construction on the Hunter plant expansion during fiscal year 2010), scheduled debt payments, working capital needs and other general corporate purposes for at least the next year.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008 was $14.5 million and $10.6 million, respectively. The increase was primarily the result of changes in working capital items which offset lower income from operations excluding stock-based compensation expense.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the three-month period ended August 31, 2009 was $1.5 million. Net cash used by investing activities for the three-month period ended August 31, 2008 was $59.6 million.

Capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, incurred in connection with the expansion of our Hunter, Texas cement plant were $4.6 million and $46.7 million for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively. Capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, incurred in connection with the expansion and modernization of our Oro Grande, California cement plant were $1.3 million for the three-month period ended August 31, 2008. Capital expenditures for normal replacement and technological upgrades of existing equipment and acquisitions to sustain our existing operations were $0.8 million and $40.7 million for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively. Capital expenditures in the prior year period include $25.6 million incurred to acquire aggregate operations in central Texas through a deferred like-kind-exchange transaction. Completion of the transaction reduced the cash designated for property acquisitions held by a qualified intermediary trust by $27.0 million.

We elected to receive distributions and policy surrenders from life insurance contracts purchased in connection with certain of our benefit plans totaling $8.1 million and $3.5 million in the three-month periods ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively.

Net cash used by financing activities for the three-month period ended August 31, 2009 was $3.6 million. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three-month period ended August 31, 2008 was $128.0 million.

We sold $300 million aggregate principal amount of additional 7.25% senior notes due in 2013 at an offering price of 93.25% in the three-month period ended August 31, 2008. The net proceeds were used to repay our $150 million senior term loan and borrowings outstanding under our senior revolving credit facility in the amount of $29.5 million.

OTHER ITEMS

Environmental Matters

We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws, regulations and permits concerning, among other matters, air emissions and wastewater discharge. We intend to comply with these laws, regulations and permits. However, from time to time we receive claims from federal and state environmental regulatory agencies and entities asserting that we are or may be in violation of certain of these laws, regulations and permits, or from private parties alleging that our operations have injured them or their property. See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presented in Part I, Item 1 of this report for a description of certain claims. It is possible that we could be held liable for future charges which might be material but are not currently known or estimable. In addition, changes in federal or state laws, regulations or requirements or discovery of currently unknown conditions could require additional expenditures by us.

Market Risk

Historically, we have not entered into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Because of the short duration of our investments, changes in market interest rates would not have a significant impact on their fair value. The fair value of fixed rate debt will vary as interest rates change.

Our operations require large amounts of energy and are dependent upon energy sources, including electricity and fossil fuels. Prices for energy are subject to market forces largely beyond our control. We have generally not entered into any long-term contracts to satisfy our fuel and electricity needs, with the exception of coal which we purchase from specific mines pursuant to long-term contracts. However, we continually monitor these markets and we may decide in the future to enter into long-term contracts. If we are unable to meet our requirements for fuel and electricity, we may experience interruptions in our production. Price increases or disruption of the uninterrupted supply of these products could adversely affect our results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Changes in the facts and circumstances could have a significant impact on the resulting financial statements. The critical accounting policies that affect the more complex judgments and estimates are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2009.

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.” SFAS No. 165 establishes authoritative accounting and disclosure guidance for recognized and non-recognized subsequent events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. SFAS No. 165 also requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. SFAS No. 165 was effective for our Company beginning with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended August 31, 2009, and will be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. We adopted SFAS No. 159 effective June 1, 2008. At this time, we have not elected to use the fair value measures permitted by this standard.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. This standard was effective for our Company on June 1, 2008. However, in February 2008, the FASB released FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). SFAS No. 157 became effective for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities on June 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for our nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities has not had a current material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
