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 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 October 31, 2001, the Company had drawn down $2,325,000, and the average interest rate was 5.43% A summary of outstanding debt at the dates indicated is as follows: (In thousands of dollars)

The carrying amount of the Company's long-term debt approximates its fair value. 6 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 Texas Lime 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 damages is unspecified. The Company and Texas Lime Company are seeking information through discovery 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 flows. 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 $1,883,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $6,056,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in cash was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts payable as a result of the completion of Phase I of the Arkansas modernization and expansion project and an increase in accounts receivable due to increased sales volumes. The Company invested $3,120,000 in capital expenditures in the first nine months 2001, compared to $25,001,000 in the same period last year. Capital expenditures of approximately $715,000, down from the $1,506,000 reported previously after the final resolution of all outstanding matters with a contractor, related to the completion of Phase I of the modernization and expansion project at the Arkansas facility in the first nine months 2001, as compared to capital expenditures of approximately $18,950,000 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 flows 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. 7 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 October 31, 2001, the Company had drawn down $2,325,000 from the facility. The Company believes that funds generated from operations and amounts 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 has allowed the Company to pursue new business opportunities and to better serve existing customers. The lack of reliability of a single production line had been 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. After final resolution of all outstanding matters with a contractor, the total cost of Phase I was approximately $33,000,000, a reduction from the $34,000,000 previously reported. The $33,000,000 included 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. 8 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 September 30, 2001, the Company had no liability for open equipment and construction orders. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had $47,325,000 in total debt outstanding. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues increased to $10,975,000 in the third quarter 2001 from $9,344,000 in the third quarter 2000, an increase of $1,631,000, or 17.5%. The increase resulted from a 16.5% increase in sales volume and a 1.0% 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. During the third quarter 2001, demand slowed somewhat in the Texas market. In addition, the markets served by the Arkansas plant are continuing to tighten due to a number of factors, including the added new capacity, weaknesses in the steel and paper markets, and the effects of competitive pressures. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $30,478,000, an increase of $4,998,000, or 19.6%, from the $25,480,000 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The increase resulted from a 18.3 % increase in sales volume and a 1.3% increase in prices. The Company's gross profit was $3,312,000 for the third quarter 2001, compared to $2,005,000 for the third quarter 2000, a 65.2% increase. Gross profit margin as a percentage of revenues for the third quarter 2001 increased to 30.2% from 21.5% in the same period 2000. Gross profit increased to $8,061,000 for the first nine months 2001, from $5,643,000 for the first nine months 2000, a 42.9% increase. Gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 increased to 26.4%, from 22.1% in the same period 2000. Gross profit and gross profit margins improved during the third quarter and for the first nine 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, higher fuel prices during the first half of the year, a lightning strike in the middle of August at the Texas plant which curtailed production for almost a week, and unseasonable rain in Texas in September which reduced lime shipments to the construction market. 9 Although the cost of natural gas continued to decrease in the third quarter 2001, and was slightly less expensive in the third quarter compared to the same period last year, the Company was negatively impacted by a total fuel (coal, coke and natural gas) price variance of approximately $800,000 for the first nine months 2001, compared to the first nine months last year. The cost of electricity for the third quarter approximated last year's cost for the comparable period; however, it was higher for the first nine months 2001 than in the first nine months 2000 due to the utility companies passing on their higher costs of fuel to produce the energy earlier in the year. The Company believes that the enhanced production capacity resulting from its modernization and expansion efforts at the Texas and Arkansas plants and the operational strategies implemented by management earlier this year has allowed the Company to increase production, improve product quality, and better serve existing customers and attract new customers. During the first nine months 2001, the Company has 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 revenues may be impacted by the slowing economy and increasing competitive pressures, 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") decreased by $69,000, or 6.9%, to $939,000 in the third quarter 2001, compared to $1,008,000 in the third quarter 2000. As a percentage of sales, SG&A decreased to 8.6%, from 10.8% in the same period a year ago. SG&A increased by $93,000, or 3.3%, to $2,909,000 in the first nine months 2001, compared to $2,816,000 in the first nine months 2000, while decreasing as a percentage of sales to 9.5% from 11.0%. Interest expense in the third quarter 2001 was $1,229,000, compared to $721,000 in the third quarter 2000, after $488,000 had been capitalized as part of the Arkansas Phase I project costs in the third quarter 2000. Interest expense for the first nine months 2001 was $2,900,000, compared to $2,542,000 in the same period 2000. Interest costs of approximately $845,000 and $944,000 were capitalized in the first nine months 2001 and 2000, respectively. Other income decreased by $82,000 to $22,000 in the third quarter 2001, compared to $104,000 in the third quarter 2000. Other income decreased by $578,000 to $76,000 for the first nine months 2001, compared to $654,000 in the same period 2000. The decreases were primarily attributable to interest income received on funds held in escrow during the third quarter and first nine months 2000 to finance Phase I of the Company's Arkansas project. The Company reported net income of $875,000 ($0.15 per share) for the third quarter 2001, compared to net income of $285,000 ($0.07 per share) for the third quarter 2000, an increase of 207%. For the first nine months 2001, the Company reported net income of $1,746,000 ($0.32 per share), compared to net income of $704,000 ($0.18 per share) in the first nine months 2000, an increase of 148%. The Company achieved the increase in earnings per share for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001 even after taking into account the increase in the number of shares outstanding as a result of the Company's rights offering. 10 EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was $4,053,000 for the third quarter ended September 30, 2001, an increase of 83.9% from third quarter 2000 EBITDA of $2,204,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, EBITDA was $9,711,000, an increase of 41.1% from the $6,881,000 generated in the same period 2000. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
