COMPX INTERNATIONAL INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - Basis of presentation: The consolidated balance sheet of CompX International Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") at December 31, 2000 has been condensed from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2001 and the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2000 and 2001 have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year or of future operations. Certain information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America has been condensed or omitted. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 (the "2000 Annual Report"). Basic earnings per share of common stock is based upon the weighted average number of common shares actually outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock includes the impact of outstanding dilutive stock options. Commitments and contingencies are discussed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the 2000 Annual Report. The Company is 69% owned by Valhi, Inc. (NYSE: VHI) and Valhi's wholly-owned subsidiary Valcor, Inc. Contran Corporation holds, directly or through subsidiaries, approximately 93% of Valhi's outstanding common stock. Substantially all of Contran's outstanding voting stock is held by trusts established for the benefit of certain children and grandchildren of Harold C. Simmons, of which Mr. Simmons is sole trustee. Mr. Simmons, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of each of Contran, Valhi and Valcor, may be deemed to control such companies and the Company. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, effective January 1, 2001. Under SFAS No. 133, all derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. The accounting for changes in fair value of derivatives depends upon the intended use of the derivative, and such changes are recognized either in net income or other comprehensive income. As permitted by the transition requirements of SFAS No. 133, as amended, the Company has exempted from the scope of SFAS No. 133 all host contracts containing embedded derivatives which were issued or acquired prior to January 1, 1999. Other than certain currency forward contracts, the Company was not a party to any significant derivative or hedging instrument covered by SFAS No. 133 during the first six months of 2001. The accounting for such currency forward contracts under SFAS No. 133 is not materially different from the accounting for such contracts under prior accounting rules, and therefore the impact to the Company of adopting SFAS No. 133 was not material. Note 2 - Business segment information: The Company operates in one business segment - the manufacture and sale of hardware components for office furniture and other markets. The Company's products consist of ergonomic computer systems, precision ball bearing slides and security products.

Note 8 - Foreign currency forward contracts: Certain of the Company's sales generated by its non-U.S. operations are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company periodically uses currency forward contracts to manage a portion of foreign exchange rate risk associated with receivables denominated in a currency other than the holder's functional currency. At each balance sheet date, any such outstanding currency forward contracts are marked-to-market with any resulting gain or loss recognized in income currently. These contracts are not accounted for as hedging instruments under SFAS No. 133. At December 31, 2000, the Company held contracts to manage such exchange rate risk to exchange an aggregate of U.S. $9.1 million for an equivalent amount of Canadian dollars at an exchange rate of Cdn. $1.482 per U.S. dollar. Such contracts matured through March 2001. At June 30, 2001, the Company did not hold any such contracts. Note 9 - Accounting principles not yet adopted: The Company will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, Business Combinations, for all business combinations initiated on or after July 1, 2001, and all purchase business combinations completed on or after July 1, 2001. Under SFAS No. 141, all business combinations initiated on or after July 1, 2001 will be accounted for by the purchase method, and the pooling-of-interests method will be prohibited. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective January 1, 2002. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill will not be amortized on a periodic basis, but instead will be subject to an impairment test to be performed at least annually. Under the transition provisions of SFAS No. 142, goodwill existing as of June 30, 2001 will cease to be periodically amortized as of January 1, 2002, but any goodwill arising in a purchase business combination completed on or after July 1, 2001 would not be periodically amortized from the date of such combination. The Company would have reported net income of $7.4 million, or $.49 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2001 if the goodwill amortization included in the Company's net income, as reported, had not been recognized. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Overview The Company reported net income of $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2001, a decrease of 62% from net income of $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2000. The Company reported net income of $6.4 million in the first six months of 2001, a 53% decrease from net income of $13.6 million in the first six months of 2000. Results of Operations Net sales. Net sales decreased $11.8 million, or 18%, to $53.4 million in the second quarter of 2001 from $65.1 million in the second quarter of 2000. For the first six months of 2001, net sales of $113.0 million decreased 14% when compared to net sales of $131.2 million for the first six months of 2000. The decrease is principally due to decreased demand for the Company's products resulting from continued weak economic conditions in the manufacturing sector in North America and Europe, and the negative effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Net sales of slide products decreased 29% and 21% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 compared to the same periods in 2000, with sales of security products decreasing 15% and 12% for the same comparable periods. For the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2001, sales of ergonomic products increased 6% and 3% over the corresponding periods of the prior year due primarily to increased European sales. Operating income. Operating income in the second quarter of 2001 was $5.3 million compared to $11.5 million for the second quarter of 2000, decreasing 54% from the second quarter of 2000. As a percentage of net sales, operating income was 10% for the second quarter of 2001 compared to 18% for the second quarter of 2000. For the first six months of 2001, operating income was 11% of net sales compared to 17% of net sales for the first six months of 2000. For the first six months of 2001, operating income decreased $10.1 million, or 45% to $12.1 million. Reductions in manufacturing fixed costs beginning in the first quarter of 2001, partially offset the effect of the decline in net sales. Despite these cost reductions, operating income margins for the second quarter and first six months of 2001 as compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2000 were adversely impacted by the decline in volume levels and the related impact on manufacturing efficiencies, the effects of changes in the sales mix and, to a lesser extent, pricing pressures from foreign-based manufacturers. CompX has substantial operations and assets located outside the United States (principally in Canada, the Netherlands and Taiwan). A portion of CompX's sales generated from its non-U.S. operations are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, principally the Canadian dollar, the Dutch guilder, the euro and the New Taiwan dollar. In addition, approximately 60% of CompX's net sales generated from its Canadian operations are denominated in the U.S. dollar. Most raw materials, labor and other production costs for such non-U.S. operations are denominated primarily in local currencies. Consequently, the translated U.S. dollar value of CompX's foreign sales and operating results are subject to currency exchange rate fluctuations which may favorably or unfavorably impact reported earnings and may affect comparability of period-to-period operating results. During the second quarter and first six months of 2001, currency exchange rate fluctuations of the Canadian dollar, the New Taiwan dollar and the euro negatively impacted the Company's sales comparisons with the corresponding periods of the prior year (principally with respect to slide products), decreasing net sales by 2% in each of the second quarter and first six months of 2001. Currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to the Canadian dollar, the euro and other currencies did not materially impact operating income comparisons in 2001 as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. Outlook. The current weak economic cycle is expected to continue and will resultantly have a negative impact on the Company's sales. Therefore, the Company continues implementing various cost control initiatives, including ongoing company-wide headcount rationalization efforts and operational cost improvements. These cost reduction measures are designed to minimize the adverse effect of lower sales and more favorably position the Company when the economy recovers. Nevertheless, the Company remains concerned regarding the duration and severity of the weak economic cycle and its overall impact on the Company's business. Liquidity and Capital Resources Consolidated cash flows Operating activities. Trends in cash flows from operating activities, excluding changes in assets and liabilities, are generally similar to the trends in the Company's earnings. Such cash flows totaled $19.8 million and $14.5 million in the first six months of 2000 and 2001, respectively, compared to net income of $13.6 million and $6.4 million, respectively. Changes in assets and liabilities result primarily from the timing of production, sales and purchases. Such changes in assets and liabilities generally tend to even out over time and result in trends in cash flows from operating activities generally reflecting earnings trends. Investing activities. Net cash used by investing activities totaled $19.4 million and $7.0 million in the first six months of 2000 and 2001, respectively. Investing activities in the first six months of 2000 included $9.5 million used to acquire substantially all of the operating assets of Chicago Lock Company. No such business acquisitions occurred in the first six months of 2001. The capital expenditures for 2001 relate primarily to capacity expansion and tooling costs at the Company's facilities and equipment additions designed to improve manufacturing efficiencies at the Company's security products and ergonomic and slide products facilities. Capital expenditures for 2001 are estimated at approximately $13 million the majority of which relate to projects that emphasize improved production efficiency. Firm purchase commitments for capital projects not commenced at June 30, 2001 were not material. Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $6.4 million and $2.0 million in the first six months of 2000 and 2001, respectively. The Company paid its regular quarterly dividend of $1.9 million or $.125 per share, in each of the first and second quarters of 2001. The Company also used $2.7 million to reacquire approximately 260,000 shares of its Class A common stock. Borrowings under the Company's unsecured revolving bank credit facility were increased by a net amount of $10.0 million. The Company repaid its short-term bank borrowing denominated in New Taiwan dollars during the first quarter of 2001 and borrowed and repaid an additional $900,000 of New Taiwan dollar short-term bank borrowings in the second quarter of 2001. In July 2001, the Company's board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of its common stock in open market or privately-negotiated transactions at unspecified prices and over an unspecified period of time. Management believes that cash generated from operations and borrowing availability under the Company's unsecured revolving bank credit facility ($51 million available for borrowing at June 30, 2001), together with cash on hand, will be sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity needs for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and dividends for the foreseeable future. The Company periodically evaluates its liquidity requirements, alternative uses of capital, capital needs and available resources in view of, among other things, its capital expenditure requirements in light of its capital resources and estimated future operating cash flows. As a result of this process, the Company may in the future seek to raise additional capital, refinance or restructure indebtedness, issue additional securities, modify its dividend policy, repurchase shares of its common stock or take a combination of such steps to manage its liquidity and capital resources. In the normal course of business, the Company may review opportunities for acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures or other business combinations in the component products industry. In the event of any such transaction, the Company may consider using available cash, issuing additional equity securities or increasing the indebtedness of the Company or its subsidiaries. As provided by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company cautions that the statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relating to matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that represent management's beliefs and assumptions based on currently available information. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "believes," "intends," "may," "should," "anticipates," "expected" or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategies or trends. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot give any assurances that these expectations will prove to be correct. Such statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact expected results, and actual future results could differ materially from those described in such forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially are the risks and uncertainties discussed in this Quarterly Report and those described from time to time in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. While it is not possible to identify all factors, the Company continues to face many risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, future supply and demand for the Company's products, changes in costs of raw materials and other operating costs (such as energy costs), general global economic and political conditions, demand for office furniture, service industry employment levels, the possibility of labor disruptions, competitive products and prices, substitute products, customer and competitor strategies, the introduction of trade barriers, the impact of pricing and production decisions, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies (such as the euro and Canadian dollar), potential difficulties in integrating completed acquisitions, uncertainties associated with new product development, environmental matters (such as those requiring emission and discharge standards for existing and new facilities), government regulations and possible changes therein, possible future litigation and other risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks materialize (or the consequences of such a development worsen), or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those forecasted or expected.
