PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

We are a leading supplier of heavy construction materials in the United States through our three business segments: cement, aggregates and consumer products. Our cement segment produces gray portland cement and specialty cements. Our cement production and distribution facilities are concentrated primarily in Texas and California, the two largest cement markets in the United States. Based on production capacity, we are the largest producer of cement in Texas with a 30% share in that state. Our aggregates segment produces natural aggregates, including sand, gravel and crushed limestone, and specialty lightweight aggregates. Our consumer products segment produces primarily ready-mix concrete and, to a lesser extent, packaged products. We are a major supplier of natural aggregates and ready-mix concrete in Texas and northern Louisiana and, to a lesser extent, in Oklahoma and Arkansas. For financial information about our business segments, see note entitled “Business Segments” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report.

As of May 31, 2008, we operated 85 manufacturing facilities in six states. In fiscal year 2008, our business had net sales of $1.0 billion, of which 40.4% was generated by our cement segment, 24.1% by our aggregates segment, and 35.5% by our consumer products segment. During the year, we shipped 5.0 million tons of finished cement, 21.9 million tons of natural aggregates, 1.6 million cubic yards of lightweight aggregates and 3.8 million cubic yards of ready-mix concrete.

Our revenue is derived from multiple end-use markets, including the public works, residential, commercial, retail, industrial and institutional construction sectors, as well as the energy industry. Our diversified mix of products provides access to this broad range of end-user markets and helps mitigate the exposure to cyclical downturns in any one product or end-user market. No one customer accounted for more than 10% of our total net sales in fiscal year 2008.

In May 2008 we completed our expanded and modernized Oro Grande, California cement plant at a total project cost of approximately $427 million, excluding capitalized interest related to the project. The plant is an advanced dry process facility designed to efficiently produce approximately 2.3 million tons of cement annually. We have retired the 1.3 million tons of existing, but less efficient, production capacity. As a result of the increase in capacity, we expect to become the second largest producer of cement in southern California.

In October 2007 we commenced construction on a project to expand our Hunter, Texas cement plant. We plan to expand the Hunter plant by approximately 1.4 million tons of advanced dry process annual cement production capacity. The 900,000 tons of existing production will remain in operation. When completed, the Hunter plant will be a modern, low cost facility, similar to our Midlothian and Oro Grande dry process facilities, and we will be well positioned to cost-effectively supply the southern and central Texas market. We currently expect to begin the startup and commissioning process in the winter of fiscal year 2010. The projected cost of the plant expansion is approximately $325 million to $350 million, excluding capitalized interest related to the project.

We expect our capital expenditures in fiscal year 2009 to be approximately $300 million to $325 million, which includes those related to our Hunter cement plant expansion.

Discontinued Operations—Spin-off of Steel Subsidiary

On July 29, 2005, we spun off 100% of Chaparral Steel Company, our steel manufacturing subsidiary, to our stockholders in a pro-rata, tax-free dividend of one share of Chaparral common stock for each share of our common stock. In connection with the spin-off, we issued $250 million principal amount of our 7.25% senior unsecured notes due 2013, entered into a new $200 million senior secured revolving credit facility, terminated our then existing senior credit facility and purchased for cash all of our then outstanding $600 million principal amount of 10.25% senior notes due 2011. See note entitled “Discontinued Operations” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report.

We have reported the historical results of our steel operations as discontinued operations in our financial statements. Because we no longer own any interest in Chaparral or its steel operations, we have omitted any discussion of the steel operations from this Item 1.

Our Competitive Strengths and Strategies

We believe the following competitive strengths and strategies are key to our ability to grow and compete successfully:

Leading Market Positions.    We strive to be a major supplier in markets that have attractive characteristics, such as large market size, above average long-term projected population growth, strong economic activity and a year-round building season. We are the largest producer of cement in Texas (with a 30% share of total production capacity in that state). Now that we have completed our Oro Grande cement plant expansion, we expect to become the second largest producer of cement in southern California. We believe we are also the largest supplier of expanded shale and clay specialty aggregate products west of the Mississippi River, the second largest supplier of stone, sand and gravel natural aggregate products in North Texas, one of the largest suppliers of ready-mix concrete in North Texas and one of the largest suppliers of sand and gravel aggregate products and ready-mix concrete in northern Louisiana. We believe our leadership in these markets enhances our competitive position.

Low Cost Supplier.    We strive to be a low cost supplier in our markets. We believe we have some of the lowest operating costs in the cement and aggregate industries. We focus on optimizing the use of our equipment, enhancing our productivity and exploring new technologies to further improve our unit cost of production at each of our facilities. Our low operating costs are primarily a result of our efficient plant designs, high productivity rate and innovative manufacturing processes.

Strategic Locations and Markets.    The strategic locations of our facilities near our customer base and sources of raw materials allow us to access the largest cement consuming markets in the United States. Our cement manufacturing facilities are located in California and Texas, the two largest U.S. cement markets. During calendar year 2007, California and Texas accounted for approximately 14.0 million and 16.6 million tons, respectively, of cement consumption or approximately 11% and 13%, respectively, of total U.S. cement consumption. California and Texas have also been the largest beneficiaries of federal transportation funding during the last several years. Funds distributed under multi-year federal highway legislation historically have comprised a majority of California and Texas’ public works spending.

Diversified Product Mix and Broad Range of End-User Markets.    Our revenue streams are derived from multiple end-user markets, including the public works, residential, commercial, retail, industrial and institutional construction sectors, as well as the energy industry. Accordingly, we have a broad and diverse customer base. Our diversified mix of products provides access to this broad range of end-user markets and helps mitigate the exposure to cyclical downturns in any one product or end-user market. No one customer accounted for more than 10% of our net sales in fiscal year 2008.

Long-Standing Customer Relationships.    We have established a solid base of long-standing customer relationships. For example, our ten largest customers during fiscal year 2008 have done business with us for an average of over 12 years. We strive to achieve customer loyalty by delivering superior customer service and maintaining an experienced sales force with in-depth market knowledge. We believe our long-standing relationships and our leading market positions help to provide additional stability to our operating performance and make us a preferred supplier.

Experienced Management Team.    Mel Brekhus, our chief executive officer, Ken Allen, who will become our chief financial officer on August 1, 2008, and the vice presidents responsible for the cement, aggregates and consumer products segments have an average of 26 years of industry experience. Our management team has led our company through several industry cycles and has demonstrated the ability to successfully complete and operate major expansion projects.

Products

Cement Segment

Our cement segment produces gray portland cement as its principal product. We also produce specialty cements such as masonry and oil well cements.

Our cement production facilities are located at three sites in Texas and California: Midlothian, Texas, south of Dallas/ Fort Worth, the largest cement plant in Texas; Hunter, Texas, south of Austin; and Oro Grande, California, near Los Angeles. The limestone reserves used as the primary raw material are located on property we own adjacent to each of the plants. We have idled the white cement production facility at our Crestmore, California plant, but this facility continues to produce cement from clinker manufactured at our Oro Grande plant and to operate a packaging plant. Information regarding each of our cement production facilities is as follows:

Plant	Rated Annual Productive Capacity— Tons of Clinker	Manufacturing Process	Service Date	Internally Estimated Minimum Reserves—Years
Midlothian, TX	2,200,000	Dry	2001	47
	600,000	Wet	1960
Hunter, TX	850,000	Dry	1979	100
Oro Grande, CA	2,100,000	Dry	2008	48
Total	5,750,000

We use, under license, the patented CemStar ^SM process in both of our Texas facilities and our Oro Grande, California facility to increase combined annual production of cement clinker by up to 6%. The CemStar^SM process adds “slag”, a co-product of steel-making, into a cement kiln along with the regular raw material feed. The slag serves to increase the production of clinker with little additional cost. We originally developed and patented the CemStar^SM process. We have sold the U.S. and Canadian patents to a third party, retaining a license to use the process. We continue to receive royalty payments from our original licensees, and have retained our right to license users under other foreign CemStar^SM patents.

The primary fuel source for all of our facilities is coal; however, we currently displace approximately 13% of our coal needs at our Midlothian plant and approximately 1% of our coal needs at our Hunter plant by utilizing alternative fuels such as waste-derived fuels and tires. Our facilities also consume large amounts of electricity. We believe that adequate supplies of both fuel and electricity are generally available.

We produced approximately 4.9 million tons of finished cement in fiscal year 2008. Total shipments of finished cement were approximately 5.0 million tons in fiscal year 2008, of which 4.1 million tons in fiscal year 2008 were shipped to outside trade customers. The difference between production and shipments of cement is cement we purchased from third parties. At May 31, 2008, our backlog was approximately 778,000 tons, approximately 278,500 tons of which we do not expect to fill in fiscal year 2009. At May 31, 2007, our backlog was approximately 744,000 tons.

We market our cement products in the southwestern United States. Our principal marketing area includes the states of Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, California, Nevada and Arizona. Sales offices are maintained throughout the marketing area and sales are made primarily to numerous customers in the construction industry, no one of which would be considered significant to our business.

Cement is distributed by rail or truck to eight distribution terminals located throughout the marketing area.

3

Aggregates Segment

Natural Aggregates.    Our natural aggregate operations, which produce sand, gravel and crushed limestone, are conducted from facilities primarily serving the Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin and Houston areas in Texas; the southern Oklahoma area; and the Alexandria and Monroe areas in Louisiana. The following table summarizes certain information about our natural aggregate production facilities.

Type of Facility and General Location	Number of Plants	Rated Annual Productive Capacity	Internally Estimated Minimum Reserves—Years
Crushed Limestone:
North Central Texas	1	9.0 million tons	30
Oklahoma	1	6.0 million tons	90
Sand & Gravel:
North Central Texas	4	4.3 million tons	10
Central Texas	3	3.3 million tons	3
Louisiana (1)	4	1.5 million tons	3

(1) Excludes 5 sand and gravel plants with rated annual productive capacity of 4.3 million tons and estimated minimum reserves of 10 years in the New Orleans and Baton Rouge areas of Louisiana, which we sold on May 30, 2008.

Reserves identified with the facilities shown above and additional reserves available to support future plant sites are contained on approximately 28,000 acres of land, of which we own approximately 18,800 acres and lease the remainder. The plants operated at 78% of rated annual productive capacity for fiscal year 2008. Natural aggregate sales for the year totaled 21.9 million tons, of which approximately 17.2 million tons were shipped to outside trade customers. At May 31, 2008, the backlog was approximately 757,000 tons, approximately 257,000 tons of which we do not expect to fill in fiscal year 2009. At May 31, 2007, our backlog was approximately 1.5 million tons.

The cost of transportation limits the marketing of aggregate products to the areas within approximately 100 miles of the plant sites. Sales are therefore related to the level of construction activity near the plants. The products are marketed by our sales organization located in the areas served by the plants and are sold to numerous customers, no one of which would be considered significant to our business.

Products are distributed to trade customers principally by contract or customer-owned haulers or through rail distribution facilities. To enhance our efficiency and competitiveness, particularly in sales of crushed stone, we strive to establish direct rail links between production facilities and our key markets, reducing the cost of transportation. We have installed rail loops at our crushed stone plants and rail terminals close to major markets, which allow rapid loading and unloading of product. In local areas surrounding our rail terminals, we believe we have a transportation cost advantage over some competing suppliers who rely to a greater extent on truck transportation.

Lightweight Aggregates.    Expanded shale and clay, a specialty lightweight aggregate product, is manufactured from facilities serving the Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin and Houston areas in Texas; the Oakland/San Francisco and Los Angeles areas in California; and the Denver area in Colorado. The following table summarizes certain information about our expanded shale and clay production facilities.

Location	Number of Plants	Rated Annual Productive Capacity	Internally Estimated Minimum Reserves—Years
North Central Texas	1	.8 million cu. yds.	25
California	1	.3 million cu. yds.	25
Colorado	1	.5 million cu. yds.	25

The table does not include our former south Texas expanded shale and clay plant located near Houston. At the end of fiscal year 2006, we sold the land associated with the plant to a real estate developer. The plant ceased

4

production in May 2007. During fiscal year 2008 we dismantled the plant, and we completed shipping the remaining product inventory. We are now serving that market from our plant in north central Texas.

The expanded shale and clay plants operated at 85% of rated annual productive capacity for fiscal year 2008. Lightweight aggregate sales for the year totaled approximately 1.6 million cubic yards, of which approximately 1.5 million cubic yards were shipped to outside trade customers.

The cost of transportation limits the marketing of most lightweight aggregate products to the areas within approximately 200 miles of the plant or terminal sites. Sales are therefore related to the level of construction activity near the plants and terminals. The products are marketed by our sales organization located in the areas served by the plants and terminals and are sold to numerous customers, no one of which would be considered significant to our business. Products are distributed to trade customers principally by contract or customer-owned haulers and, to a lesser extent, by rail. Certain specialty products we have developed from our expanded shale and clay, such as DiamondPro^® baseball infield conditioner, have developed a geographically dispersed customer base and are shipped to a significant portion of the continental United States.

Consumer Products Segment

Ready-mix Concrete.    Our ready-mix concrete operations are situated in three areas in Texas (Dallas/Fort Worth/Denton, Houston and east Texas), in north and central Louisiana, and at one location in southern Arkansas. The following table summarizes various information concerning these facilities.

Location	Number of Plants	Number of Trucks
Texas	44	410
Louisiana	13	89
Arkansas	1	2

The plants listed above are located on sites we own or lease. We manufacture and supply a substantial amount of the cement and aggregates used by the ready-mix plants. The remainder is purchased from outside suppliers. Ready-mix concrete is sold to various contractors in the construction industry, no one of which would be considered significant to our business. We believe that we are a significant participant in the Texas and Louisiana concrete products markets. The principal methods of competition in concrete products markets are quality and service at competitive prices. Because TXI is a producer of cement and aggregates, the primary components of concrete, we believe that our customers view us as a reliable supplier of quality concrete, particularly during times that the supply of raw material is tight.

Other Products.    We manufacture and market packaged concrete mix, mortar, sand and related products from plant or distribution sites we own in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin and Houston areas in Texas. We have recently started marketing our Maximizer packaged concrete mix in southern California. The products are marketed by our sales force in each of these locations, and are delivered primarily by contract haulers direct to retailers. Since the cost of delivery is significant to the overall cost of most of these products, the market area is generally restricted to within approximately 100 miles of the plant locations. These products are sold by the retailers to contractors, distributors and property owners.

Competition

All of the product segments and markets in which we participate are highly competitive. These markets are also generally regional because transportation costs are high relative to the value of the product. Ready-mix concrete also competes in relatively small geographic areas due to delivery time limits associated with pre-mixed concrete after the addition of water. As a result, in our aggregates and consumer products markets, there is little competition from imported products. However, our cement segment does compete with imported cement because of the higher value of the product.

The nature of our competition varies among our product lines due to the widely differing amounts of capital necessary to build production facilities. Construction of cement production facilities is highly capital intensive and requires long lead times to complete engineering design, obtain regulatory permits, acquire equipment and

5

construct a plant. Most domestic producers of cement are owned by large foreign companies operating in multiple international markets.

Our competitors in the cement markets include domestic subsidiaries of Holcim Ltd. and Cemex S.A. de C. V., other domestic producers and importers of foreign cement. Since most domestic producers are owned by large foreign producers, they maintain the capability to import cement from foreign production facilities during periods when market demand exceeds supply.

Ready-mix concrete production requires relatively small amounts of capital to build a concrete batching plant and acquire delivery trucks. As a result, in each local market we face competition from numerous small producers of ready mix concrete as well as large vertically integrated companies with facilities in many markets. Large competitors in our ready-mix markets include US Concrete, Southern Star, Campbell Ready Mix, and Lattimore Materials.

Sand and gravel production by dredging, or crushed stone production from stone quarries, is moderately capital intensive with fewer and larger competitors. Our major competitors in the aggregates markets include Lehigh/Hanson Aggregates, Vulcan Materials, and Martin Marietta Materials.

Due to the lack of product differentiation, competition for all of our products is based largely on price and, to a lesser extent, quality of product and service. As a result, the prices that we charge our customers are not likely to be materially different from the prices charged by other producers in the same markets. Accordingly, our profitability is generally dependent on the level of demand for cement, aggregates and concrete products in the local markets we serve, and on our ability to control operating costs.

Employees

At May 31, 2008, we had approximately 2,500 employees. Approximately 115 employees at our Oro Grande, California cement plant are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that expires in June 2012. Employees at our Crestmore cement plant in Riverside County, California voted in August 2005 to join the United Steel, Paper & Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial & Service Workers Union, the same union that represents our Oro Grande plant employees. We are currently negotiating a collective bargaining agreement that will cover approximately 70 Crestmore employees. At this time we cannot predict when negotiations on this contract will be concluded.

We believe our relationship with our employees is good.

Legal Proceedings

The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, issued a Finding and Notice of Violation, or NOV, to Riverside Cement Company, one of our subsidiaries. In the NOV, the EPA alleged violations of permit conditions and several federal and state laws and regulations on certain dates between June 2002 and January 2005 involving the old cement kilns at Riverside’s Oro Grande, California plant. The alleged violations primarily include exceeding the temperature limit and nitrogen oxide emission limit for the cement kilns, exceeding visible emission limits, failing to perform all required visible emission observations, inadequately describing certain procedures in an equipment operating plan, and failing to perform certain baghouse inspections and measurements. Riverside has entered into a Consent Decree with the EPA in which it did not admit the alleged violations. Riverside agreed to pay a civil penalty of $394,000, start up its new cement kiln and shut down its old kilns and implement specified baghouse inspection measures.

In March 2008, the South Coast Air Quality Management District, or SCAQMD, informed Riverside that it believes that dust blowing from open stockpiles of gray clinker or other operations at Riverside’s 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. The SCAQMD has issued four NOVs to Riverside alleging violations of its dust control regulations. Riverside immediately began taking steps, in addition to its normal dust control procedures, to

6

reduce dust from plant operations and eliminate the use of open clinker stockpiles. Riverside has negotiated a settlement agreement with the SCAQMD in which Riverside agreed to eliminate the outdoor clinker stockpiles in accordance with certain conditions, to spend $400,000 for equipment and process improvements at the plant aimed at reducing dust emissions, to pay a civil penalty of $400,000 and to reimburse SCAQMD for $200,000 in monitoring costs.

The SCAQMD has placed an air monitoring station at the downwind property line closest to the open clinker stockpiles. Over the period of February 12 to June 23, 2008, the average level of chrome 6 reported by the SCAQMD at this station was 1.26 nanograms per cubic meter, or ng/m³. The average level of chrome 6 reported by the SCAQMD at other air monitoring stations in areas around the plant ranged from .10 to .59 ng/m³ for the same sampling period. In public presentations, the SCAQMD compared the level of exposure for various time periods 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
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health	1,000 ng/m³
California Environmental Protection Agency	200 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.”

Nevertheless, in late April 2008 a lawsuit was filed in Riverside County Superior Court styled Virginia Shellman et al. v. Riverside Cement Holdings Company et al. The lawsuit purports to be a class action complaint for medical monitoring for a putative class defined as individuals who were allegedly exposed to hexavalent chromium emissions from the 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, punitive and exemplary damages and 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. We will defend vigorously against the Shellman suit but no discovery has occurred and we cannot predict what liability, if any, may arise from the complaint. We also cannot predict whether any other suits may be filed by individuals alleging damages due to injuries to their person or property caused by claimed exposure to chrome 6. At the date of this report we are not aware that any such lawsuits have been filed, but we cannot assure you that such suits will not be filed nor can we predict what liability, if any, could arise from any such suits.

On July 3, 2008 the California Attorney General and the Riverside County District Attorney filed a complaint styled The People of the State of California v. TXI Riverside, Inc., TXI California, Inc. and Riverside Cement Holdings Company. The complaint against the two general partners in Riverside Cement Company and a subsidiary of Riverside Cement Company alleges that the defendants failed to warn persons of exposure to chrome 6 under California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, which is known as Proposition 65. It further alleges that defendants have known since at least 2006 that the clinker at the Crestmore plant contains chrome 6, causing exposure to persons present in the surrounding area. The complaint also alleges that knowingly and intentionally exposing individuals to chrome 6 without first giving warning to them violates Proposition 65 and constitutes unfair competition within the meaning of the California Business and Professions Code. The complaint requests the award of civil penalties and injunctive relief. We will vigorously defend the suit but no discovery has occurred, and we cannot predict what liability, if any, could arise from the complaint.

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

Environmental

We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. These laws and regulations govern, among other things:

• air emissions,

• wastewater discharges,

• generation, use, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes,

• investigation and remediation of contamination existing at current and former properties, and at third-party waste disposal sites,

• exposure limits of our employees and others to dust, silica and other substances, and

• safety standards for operating our quarries and plant equipment.

Sources of air emissions and wastewater discharges at our facilities are regulated by a combination of permit limitations and emission standards of national and statewide application. These laws and regulations have tended to become increasingly stringent over time. In addition, permits are subject to modification, renewal and revocation requirements, which allow issuing agencies to tighten the permit limitations.

Climate change is now an environmental issue confronting our industry. Many scientists believe that carbon dioxide, a product of combustion of fuel in cement kilns and a natural byproduct of the cement manufacturing process, is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Various states have banded together in three initiatives to develop regional strategies to address climate change. Seven western states and three Canadian provinces have formed the Western Climate Initiative, nine Midwestern states and one Canadian province have signed the Midwestern Greenhouse Gas Accord, and nine northeastern and mid-Atlantic states have joined the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. These initiatives call for establishing goals for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the member states and designing market-based mechanisms to help achieve these reduction goals. Other states may join these initiatives. In 2006, California adopted the “California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006”, which requires the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to achieve a 25% reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases from sources in California by 2020. A significant portion of our cement production capacity is in California, but CARB has not yet adopted regulations defining how the new law may apply to us. The U.S. Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts v. EPA relating to regulation of carbon dioxide emissions from automobiles has spurred the EPA to consider the broader issue of whether to regulate greenhouse gases emitted by industries such as the cement industry. Although no restrictions have yet been imposed under federal laws, a number of bills have been introduced in the current session of the U. S. Congress that would regulate the emission of greenhouse gases in various ways. We are unable to predict currently how the carbon dioxide produced in the cement manufacturing process will be regulated, or what the cost or effect on our business will be.

Many of the raw materials, products and by-products associated with the operation of any industrial facility, including those for the production of cement or concrete products, contain chemical elements or compounds that can be designated as hazardous. Some examples are the metals present in cement kiln dust, or CKD, and the ignitability of the waste derived fuels that we use as a primary or supplementary fuel substitute for nonrenewable fuels such as coal and natural gas to fire certain of our cement kilns. Currently, CKD is exempt from hazardous waste management standards under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, if certain tests are satisfied. We have demonstrated that the CKD we generate satisfies these tests, but there can be no guarantee that the tests will not be changed in the future.

We operate a resource recovery facility for recovery of energy from waste derived fuels. This facility reduces our use of nonrenewable fuels such as coal and natural gas and disposes of materials such as gasoline, acids, solvents and chemicals that have been designated or characterized as hazardous waste by the EPA. These materials are transported, stored, and burned in accordance with strict regulatory and permit limitations imposed by the EPA and the state environmental agency. This requires us to familiarize our work force with the more

8

exacting requirements of applicable environmental laws and regulations with respect to human health and the environment related to these activities. The failure to observe these exacting requirements could jeopardize our hazardous waste management permits and, under certain circumstances, expose us to significant liabilities and costs of cleaning up releases of hazardous substances into the environment or claims by employees or others alleging injury from exposure to hazardous substances.

Like others in our business, we expend substantial amounts to comply with these environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and permit limitations, including amounts for pollution control equipment required to monitor and regulate air emissions and wastewater discharges. Since many of these requirements are subjective and therefore not quantifiable, or are presently not determinable, or are likely to be affected by future legislation or rule making by government agencies, it is not possible to accurately predict the aggregate future costs of compliance and their affect on our future results of operations or financial condition.

For additional information about the environmental, health and safety risks inherent in our operations, see “Legal Proceedings” above and Item 1A, Risk Factors, in this Report.

Intellectual Property

We own trademarks such as TXI^® and Maximizer^® and certain process patents. While we believe that none of our active trademarks or patents are essential to our business as a whole, brand recognition can play a role in sales of specialty products and packaged products. We believe our packaged product brands are perceived as premium quality in the local markets we serve, such as the Maximizer^® brand of patented lightweight concrete in Texas and southern California.

Real Estate

We own significant amounts of land, acquired for our business purposes such as mining limestone, sand, gravel and clay. When mining is completed or land becomes surplus for other reasons, we sell it for development or, in some instances, develop it ourselves. We are involved in the sale of land in a high quality industrial and multi-use park that we developed in the metropolitan area of Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas.

Research and Development

We incurred no research and development cost for any of the past three fiscal years. All of our innovations are developed through the production process.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the risks discussed elsewhere in this annual report, you should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations. If any such risks materialize, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our cash flow and financial condition. In such an instance, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you might lose all or part of your investment.

Our construction project to expand our Hunter, Texas cement plant or future capital expenditures for expansion of our business may not strengthen our competitive position.

In order to strengthen our competitive position, in recent years we have made significant capital expenditures to expand our facilities. In October 2007 we commenced a project to expand our cement plant in Hunter, Texas. We are constructing approximately 1.4 million tons of advanced dry process annual cement production capacity. The 900,000 tons of existing production will remain in operation. We expect to begin the startup and commissioning process in the winter of fiscal year 2010. The projected cost of the plant expansion is between $325 million and $350 million, excluding capitalized interest related to the project.

We could experience construction delays or cost overruns for many reasons, including inclement weather, unavailability of materials or equipment, unanticipated site conditions and unanticipated problems during construction, startup and commissioning. We have all material environmental authorizations necessary for the construction of the plant. As we finalize the construction plans during the course of construction, we expect that amendments to our existing permits will be required to accommodate any changes we make to the original construction plans. Failure to timely receive any such permits, or permit amendments, could delay construction and startup. Our construction costs would also increase if we incur unanticipated costs to comply with any permit requirements that may be imposed as conditions to obtaining such permits or amendments. We cannot assure you that market conditions will be favorable, that the actual cost of the plant expansion will not exceed our cost projections or that additional financing, if required, will be available on acceptable terms. We cannot assure you that the new plant, when completed, will operate in accordance with its design specifications. If it does not, we could incur additional costs or production delays while problems are corrected. As we do not have control over the cost or the outcome of these factors, we cannot assure you that the planned expansion will occur on schedule, within budget or at all.

As a result of these or other unanticipated factors, the Hunter project or any other future expansionary capital expenditures may not improve our competitive position and business prospects as anticipated. If certain of the events described above occur, it could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

Our business is sensitive to economic cycles within the public, residential and non-residential construction segments as well as seasonality and inclement weather conditions. Some of our competitors may cope better with adverse economic and market conditions than we would.

The cement, aggregate and concrete markets are generally regional because transportation costs are high relative to the value of the product. Demand for our products is derived primarily from public (infrastructure), residential and non-residential construction activity in our specific regional markets. Construction activity in each of these markets is cyclical and is influenced by prevailing economic conditions in these markets, including availability of public funds, interest rate levels, inflation, consumer spending habits and employment. These factors may fluctuate more widely in regional markets than in the United States as a whole. As a result, even though we sell in more than one region, our operating results are subject to significant fluctuation. Any significant decline in the level of general construction activity in our markets could negatively affect our operating results. Because we sell most of our cement in Texas and southern California, and because cement sales contribute more to our profitability than any other product line, a significant decline in cement demand or prices in Texas or southern California could negatively impact our profitability.

The regional nature of our business also makes us vulnerable to changes in regional weather and its impact on the regional construction industry. Our operating profit is generally lower in our fiscal quarter ending on the

11

last day of February than it is in our other three fiscal quarters because of the impact of winter weather on construction activity. Although southern California and Texas are regions characterized by longer periods of favorable weather, extended periods of inclement weather can reduce construction activity at any time of the year.

Our product prices are subject to material changes in response to relatively minor fluctuations in supply and demand, which can be affected by economic and other market conditions beyond our control. We may face price or volume declines in the future. Due to the high fixed cost nature of our business, our operating results may be significantly affected by relatively small changes in production volumes. Moreover, our industry is characterized by low backlogs, which means that our results of operations may be promptly affected by short-term economic fluctuations.

In particular, our customers are engaged in a substantial amount of construction in which government funding is a component and, as a result, can be subject to government budget constraints and political shifts resulting in funding reallocation. For example, funds distributed under multi-year federal highway legislation historically comprised a majority of California and Texas’ public works spending. Any significant decrease in public works spending in either state could negatively affect our operating results.

The level of residential and non-residential construction and of cement demand has declined significantly in California since its historic high in 2005. Residential construction has declined to a lesser degree in Texas, but through fiscal year 2008 it has not had a significant impact on total cement demand. A sustained period of declining construction activity in our markets could materially and adversely affect our operating results.

Some of our competitors are larger and have greater financial resources or have less financial leverage than we do. As a result, these competitors may cope better with any downward pricing pressure and adverse economic or market conditions than we would.

The availability and pricing of energy could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

We 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 contracts that expire on December 31, 2008 and May 31, 2009. We expect to enter into new long term coal contracts that will significantly increase the price of coal, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully negotiate new contracts on terms that are acceptable to us. Despite any long-term coal contracts we may enter into, we expect our coal supplies could be interrupted in the event of rail service disruptions or mine failures. If we are unable to meet our requirements for fuel and electricity, we may experience interruptions in our production.

In the last year we have experienced significant increases in our energy costs. Further price increases that we are unable to pass through in price increases for our products, or disruption of the uninterrupted supply of fuel and electricity, could adversely affect our results of operations.

We may incur substantial expenditures to comply with environmental, health and safety laws. The enforcement of such laws may result in liability for civil or criminal fines or penalties or curtailment or suspension of our operations. We may become liable for environmental injury to persons or property.

We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and permits as described more fully under the caption “Environmental Matters” in Item 1, Business. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Mining Safety and Health Administration and various state agencies are charged with enforcing these laws, regulations and permits. These agencies can impose substantial civil and criminal fines and penalties, as well as curtail or suspend our operations, for violations and non-compliance. Moreover, private parties may bring actions against us for injuries to persons and damages to property allegedly caused by our operations. We intend to comply with these laws, regulations and permits. However, from time to time we receive claims from federal and state regulatory agencies asserting that we are or may be in violation of certain of these laws, regulations and permits, or from

12

private parties alleging that our operations have injured them or their property. See “Legal Proceedings” in Item 1, Business, for a description of certain claims. If violations of law, injury to persons, damage to property or contamination of the environment has been or is caused by the conduct of our business or hazardous substances or wastes used, generated or disposed of by us, we may be liable for such violations, injuries and damages and be required to pay the cost of investigation and remediation of such contamination. The amount of such liability could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

Changes in federal or state laws, regulations or permits or discovery of currently unknown conditions could increase our cost of compliance, require additional capital expenditures, interrupt production or hinder our ability to expand or build new production facilities. For example, California has adopted the “California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006”, which will result in the regulation of the emission of carbon dioxide, a natural by-product of the cement manufacturing process. The California Air Resources Board has not yet adopted regulations defining how the new law may apply to us. Also, a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision or any of a number of bills that have been introduced in the current session of the U. S. Congress may result in the federal regulation of the emission of greenhouse gases. We cannot yet predict the nature of this regulation, but any laws or regulations that impose limits on our carbon dioxide emissions, the raw materials or fuel we use or our production volumes, or that impose carbon taxes, could have a significant impact on the cement manufacturing industry and a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Future litigation could affect our profitability.

The nature of our business exposes us to various litigation matters including product liability claims, employment matters, environmental matters, regulatory and administrative proceedings, governmental investigations, tort claims and contract disputes. See “Legal Proceedings” in Item 1, Business, for a description of certain legal proceedings. We contest these matters vigorously and make insurance claims where appropriate. However, litigation is inherently costly and unpredictable, making it difficult to accurately estimate the outcome of existing or future litigation. Although we make accruals as we believe warranted and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the amounts that we accrue could vary significantly from any amounts we actually pay due to the inherent uncertainties and shortcomings in the estimation process. Future litigation costs, settlements or judgments could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

Unexpected equipment failures, catastrophic events and scheduled maintenance may lead to production curtailments or shutdowns.

Due to the high fixed cost nature of our business, interruptions in our production capabilities may cause our productivity and results of operations to decline significantly during the affected period. Our manufacturing processes are dependent upon critical pieces of equipment, such as our kilns and finishing mills. This equipment, on occasion, may be out of service as a result of unanticipated failures or damage during accidents. In addition to equipment failures, our facilities are also subject to the risk of catastrophic loss due to unanticipated events such as fires, explosions or violent weather conditions. In addition, our operations in California are susceptible to damage from earthquakes, for which we maintain only a limited amount of earthquake insurance and, therefore, we are not fully insured against earthquake risk. We also have one to two-week scheduled outages once a year to refurbish our cement production facilities. Any significant interruption in production capability may require us to make significant capital expenditures to remedy problems or damage as well as cause us to lose revenue due to lost production time, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We rely heavily on third-party truck and rail transportation, which is subject to delays and rate fluctuations.

We rely heavily on third-party truck and rail transportation to ship our products to customers and coal, our primary fuel, to our plants. Rail and trucking operations are subject to capacity constraints, high fuel costs and various hazards, including extreme weather conditions and slowdowns due to labor strikes and other work stoppages. If there are material changes in the availability or cost of rail or trucking services, we may not be able to arrange alternative and timely means to ship our products at a reasonable cost, which could lead to interruptions or slowdowns in our businesses or increases in our costs, either of which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

13

Implementation of our growth strategy has certain risks.

As part of our growth strategy, we may expand existing facilities, build additional plants, acquire other reserves or operations, enter into joint ventures or form strategic alliances that we believe will expand or complement our existing business. If any of these transactions occur, they will likely involve some or all of the following risks:

• the potential disruption of our ongoing business;

• the diversion of resources and management’s time and attention;

• the inability of management to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;

• the difficulty of managing the operations of a larger company;

• the risk of becoming involved in labor, commercial or regulatory disputes or litigation related to the new enterprise;

• the risk of contractual or operational liability to joint venture participants or to third parties as a result of our participation;

• the difficulty of competing for acquisitions and other growth opportunities with companies having greater financial resources than we have; and

• the difficulty of integrating the acquired operations and personnel into our existing business.

Pursuing our growth strategy may be required for us to remain competitive, but we may not be able to complete any such transactions or obtain financing, if necessary, for such transactions on favorable terms or at all. Future transactions may not improve the competitive position and business prospects as anticipated, and could reduce sales or profit margins, and, therefore, earnings if they are not successful.

Our business could suffer if cement imports from Mexico or other countries significantly increase or are sold in the U.S. in violation of U.S. fair trade laws.

In 1989 and 1990, groups of domestic cement producers, including us, filed antidumping petitions that resulted in the imposition of significant antidumping import duties on imports of gray portland cement and clinker from Mexico and Japan. On March 6, 2006, the governments of the U.S. and Mexico signed the U.S.-Mexico Agreement on Cement, which settled the 16-year dispute over the U.S. antidumping duty order on imports from Mexico.

During the three-year term of the agreement, Mexican cement producers are allowed to import into the United States up to 3.0 million metric tons of cement and clinker annually, which will be subject to a reduced import duty of $3.00 per ton. Maximum import levels will be adjusted annually within certain limits to reflect changes in consumption, and will be allowed to increase to higher levels, if needed, to respond to natural disasters such as hurricanes. The antidumping order will be terminated in 2009 if Mexican producers have complied with the agreement.

Although we expect the antidumping order against cement and clinker from Japan to remain in effect until at least 2011, beginning in 2009 unlimited imports from Mexico may enter the U.S. without the imposition of any import duties. In addition, as has always been the case, independently owned cement operators can construct new import facilities and begin to purchase cement from other countries, such as those in Asia, which could compete with domestic producers. An influx of cement or clinker products from countries not subject to antidumping orders, or sales of imported cement or clinker in violation of U.S. fair trade laws, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

Additionally, fluctuations in the value of the dollar can be expected to affect our business. A strong U.S. dollar makes imported cement less expensive, resulting in more imports into the United States by foreign

14

competitors, while a weak U.S. dollar has the opposite effect. If the dollar strengthens appreciably against other world currencies, it will encourage additional imports of cement, which could negatively affect our results of operations.

The financing agreements governing our debt contain various covenants that limit our discretion in the operation of our business and could lead to acceleration of debt.

Our financing agreements impose operating and financial restrictions on our activities. These agreements require us to comply with or maintain certain financial tests and ratios, including a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. Restrictions contained in these financing agreements also limit or prohibit our ability and certain of our subsidiaries ability to, among other things:

• pay dividends to our stockholders;

• make certain investments and capital expenditures;

• incur additional debt or sell preferred stock;

• create liens;

• restrict dividend payments or other payments from subsidiaries to us;

• engage in consolidations and mergers or sell or transfer assets;

• engage in transactions with our affiliates; and

• sell stock in our subsidiaries.

Various risks and events beyond our control could affect our ability to comply with these covenants and maintain financial tests and ratios. If we cannot comply with the financial covenants in our senior credit facilities, we may not be able to borrow under our revolving credit facility. In addition, failure to comply with any of the covenants in our existing or future financing agreements could result in a default under those agreements and under other agreements containing cross-default provisions. A default would permit lenders to accelerate the maturity of the debt under these agreements. In addition, lenders may be able to terminate any commitments they made to supply us with further funds. Under these circumstances, we might not have sufficient funds or other resources to satisfy all of our obligations. In addition, the limitations imposed by our financing agreements on our ability to incur additional debt and to take other actions might significantly impair our ability to obtain other financing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain waivers or amendments of our financing agreements, if necessary, on acceptable terms or at all.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

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 aggregates, produced and sold through our aggregates segment, and packaged concrete and related products, produced and sold through our consumer products segment.

Our facilities are concentrated primarily in Texas, Louisiana and California. In May 2008, we completed construction on a project to expand and modernize our Oro Grande, California cement plant at a total project cost of approximately $427 million, excluding capitalized interest related to the project. We constructed approximately 2.3 million tons of advanced dry process annual cement production capacity, and retired the 1.3 million tons of existing, but less efficient, production.

In October 2007, we commenced construction on a project to expand our Hunter, Texas cement plant. We are expanding the Hunter plant by approximately 1.4 million tons of advanced dry process annual cement production capacity. The 900,000 tons of existing production will remain in operation. We currently expect the Hunter project will cost from $325 million to $350 million, excluding capitalized interest related to the project. We currently expect to begin the startup and commissioning process during the winter of fiscal year 2010.

We own long-term reserves of the primary raw materials for the production of cement and aggregates. Our business requires large amounts of capital investment, energy, labor and maintenance. Our corporate administrative, financial, legal, environmental, human resources and real estate activities are not allocated to operations and are excluded from operating profit.

On July 29, 2005, we spun off 100% of Chaparral Steel Company, our steel manufacturing subsidiary, to our stockholders in a pro-rata, tax-free dividend of one share of Chaparral common stock for each share of our common stock. We have reported the historical results of our steel operations as discontinued operations in our financial statements. See note entitled “Discontinued Operations” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report. Because we no longer own any interest in Chaparral or its steel operations, we have omitted any discussion of the steel operations from our Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Fiscal Year 2008 Compared to Fiscal Year 2007

Gross profit for fiscal year 2008 was $193.8 million, a decrease of $42.3 million from the prior fiscal year. Average prices for our stone, sand and gravel improved. Average prices and volumes for our ready-mix concrete products improved. These improvements were offset by production inefficiencies at our old Oro Grande, California cement plant and higher maintenance costs in our cement operations and higher fuel and transportation costs in all of our operations.

Sales.    Net sales for fiscal year 2008 were $1,028.9 million, an increase of $32.6 million from the prior fiscal year. Total cement sales decreased $13.7 million on 2% lower average prices and 1% lower shipments. Total stone, sand and gravel sales increased $7.0 million on 6% higher average prices and 1% lower shipments. Total ready-mix concrete sales increased $32.6 million on 7% higher average prices and 5% higher volumes.

Our Texas market area accounted for approximately 82% of our net sales in fiscal year 2008 and 78% of our net sales in fiscal year 2007. Average prices and shipments for our major products in our Texas market area were either comparable or higher than the prior fiscal year. The decline in overall average prices for cement from the prior year is due primarily to a shift in the mix of cement products and markets.

Cost of Products Sold.    Cost of products sold for fiscal year 2008 was $835.0 million, an increase of $74.9 million from the prior fiscal year. Cement unit costs increased 12% primarily as a result of the production inefficiencies at our old Oro Grande, California cement plant and higher maintenance, fuel and transportation costs. Energy costs representing 34% of total cement unit costs and maintenance representing 25% of total cement unit costs increased 8% and 27%, respectively. Stone, sand and gravel overall unit costs increased 9% primarily as a result of higher fuel and transportation costs. Ready-mix concrete unit costs increased 6% primarily as a result of higher raw material costs, as well as higher distribution and transportation costs.

20

Selling, General and Administrative.    Selling, general and administrative expense for fiscal year 2008 was $96.2 million, a decrease of $11.9 million from the prior fiscal year. Operating selling, general and administrative expense for fiscal year 2008 was $62.3 million, a decrease of $600,000 from the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily the result of $5.9 million lower incentive compensation expense offset in part by $1.2 million higher wages and benefits, $1.5 million higher insurance expense, $900,000 higher provisions for bad debts and $1.6 million higher general expenses. Corporate selling, general and administrative expense for fiscal year 2008 was $33.9 million, a decrease of $11.3 million from the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily the result of $2.9 million lower incentive compensation expense and $11.8 million lower stock-based compensation, offset in part by $3.5 million higher retirement expense. Our incentive plans are based on financial performance. Our stock-based compensation includes awards expected to be settled in cash the expense for which is based on the average stock price at the end of each period until the awards are paid. The impact of changes in our stock price during 2008 reduced stock-based compensation $12.5 million. The increase in retirement expense in 2008 was primarily the result of recognized actuarial losses related to our defined benefit plans and increased contributions to our defined contribution plans.

Other Income.    Other income for fiscal year 2008 was $31.6 million, a decrease of $5.0 million from the prior fiscal year. Operating other income for fiscal year 2008 was $27.7 million, a decrease of $800,000 from the prior fiscal year. Operating other income in fiscal year 2008 includes gains of $15.2 million from sales of property associated with our aggregate operations in south Louisiana and north Texas. In addition, operating other income includes a gain of $3.9 million from the sale of emissions credits associated with our California cement operations. Operating other income in the prior fiscal year includes $19.8 million representing distributions which we received pursuant to agreements that settled a 16-year dispute over the U.S. antidumping duty order on cement imports from Mexico. Corporate other income for fiscal year 2008 was $3.9 million, a decrease of $4.2 million from the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily the result of $3.7 million lower interest income and $600,000 lower real estate income in fiscal year 2008.

Fiscal Year 2007 Compared to Fiscal Year 2006

Gross profit for fiscal year 2007 was $236.1 million, an increase of $59.1 million from the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of improved pricing and lower cement unit costs.

Sales.    Net sales for fiscal year 2007 were $996.3 million, an increase of $52.4 million from the prior fiscal year. Total cement sales increased $34.8 million on 9% higher average prices and 1% lower shipments. Total stone, sand and gravel sales increased $2.1 million on 16% higher average prices and 12% lower shipments. Total ready-mix concrete sales increased $12.8 million on 10% higher average prices and 4% lower volumes.

Adverse weather in the second half of fiscal year 2007 reduced shipments of all of our major products in our north Texas market area. In addition, stone, sand and gravel shipments were lower due to the expiration of a low margin, large supply contract at the beginning of our fiscal year. Average prices for our major products have continued to improve. Market conditions have continued to support our current level of pricing.

Cost of Products Sold.    Cost of products sold for fiscal year 2007 was $760.2 million, a decrease of $6.7 million from the prior fiscal year. Cement unit costs decreased 1%. Energy costs representing 35% of total cement unit costs decreased 8%. Stone, sand and gravel unit costs increased 8% primarily as a result of the effect on overall unit costs of lower productivity caused by the adverse weather conditions in north Texas and reduced shipments. Energy and maintenance costs representing 41% of stone, sand and gravel unit costs increased 20% and 12%, respectively. Ready-mix concrete unit costs increased 6% primarily as a result of higher cement and aggregate raw material costs.

Selling, General and Administrative.    Selling, general and administrative expense for fiscal year 2007 was $108.1 million, an increase of $19.4 million from the prior fiscal year. Operating selling, general and administrative expense for fiscal year 2007 was $62.9 million, an increase of $13.3 million from the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily the result of $3.6 million higher incentive compensation expense, $1.5 million higher wages and benefits, $1.6 million higher stock-based compensation and $2.4 million higher insurance expense. Corporate selling, general and administrative expense for fiscal year 2007 was $45.2 million, an

21

increase of $6.1 million from the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily the result of $4.5 million higher incentive compensation expense and $7.9 million higher stock-based compensation, offset in part by $3.8 million lower insurance expense and $2.6 million lower general expenses. Our incentive plans are based on financial performance. Stock-based compensation for fiscal year 2007 includes compensation expense related to stock options in the amount of $3.6 million as a result of our adoption, effective June 1, 2006, of SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.”

Other Income.    Other income for fiscal year 2007 was $36.6 million, a decrease of $10.6 million from the prior fiscal year. Operating other income for fiscal year 2007 was $28.5 million, a decrease of $3.5 million from the prior fiscal year. Operating other income in fiscal year 2007 includes $19.8 million representing distributions which we received pursuant to agreements that settled a 16-year dispute over the U.S. antidumping duty order on cement imports from Mexico. Operating other income in the prior fiscal year includes a gain of $24.0 million from the sale of real estate associated with our expanded shale and clay aggregate operations in south Texas. Corporate other income for fiscal year 2007 was $8.1 million, a decrease of $7.1 million from the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily the result of $3.2 million lower income from real estate and surplus corporate asset sales in fiscal year 2007 and a $3.8 million gain from the sale of an investment in the prior fiscal year.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for fiscal year 2008 was $2.5 million, a decrease of $11.6 million from the prior fiscal year. Interest capitalized in connection with our Oro Grande, California and Hunter, Texas cement plant expansion projects reduced the amount of interest expense recognized by $26.5 million in fiscal year 2008 and $12.9 million in the prior fiscal year. An additional $28.1 million in interest expense is currently estimated to be capitalized in connection with our Hunter expansion project. We expect to begin the startup and commissioning process during the winter of fiscal year 2010.

During fiscal year 2008, borrowings under our $200 million senior revolving credit facility, new $150 million senior term loan and life insurance contracts increased interest expense $8.1 million. During fiscal year 2007, all of our outstanding 5.5% convertible subordinated debentures due June 30, 2028, totaling $159.7 million at May 31, 2006, were converted or redeemed. The conversion and redemptions reduced interest expense $6.7 million in 2008 and $4.4 million in 2007 from the prior fiscal years. Also contributing to lower interest expense in fiscal year 2007 was prior year debt refinancing in connection with the spin-off of Chaparral Steel Company.

Loss on Early Retirement of Debt

Loss on debt retirements and spin-off charges for fiscal year 2006 includes a loss of $107.0 million related to the early retirement of our 10.25% senior notes and former credit facility, consisting of $96.0 million in premiums and consent payments plus transaction costs, and a write-off of $11.0 million of debt issuance costs and interest rate swap gains and losses associated with the debt purchased. We also incurred expense of $800,000 related to the May 2006 conversion of $40.2 million of convertible subordinated debentures. In addition, we incurred $5.4 million in charges related to the spin-off of Chaparral in July 2005.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 31.0% in 2008, 32.9% in 2007 and 93.3% in 2006. The primary reason that the effective tax rate differed from the 35% statutory corporate rate was due to additional percentage depletion that is tax deductible, the deduction for qualified domestic production activities in 2008 and 2007, offset in part by state income taxes and nondeductible stock compensation and, in 2006, spin-off and debt conversion costs that are not tax deductible. The effective rate for discontinued operations was 35.1% in 2006.

The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, among other things, allows a deduction for income from qualified domestic production activities, which will be phased in from 2005 through 2010. We realized a benefit of $1.2 million in 2008 and $1.1 million in 2007 but did not realize a benefit in 2006 because of a taxable loss for the year.

22

Effective June 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We have no significant reserves for uncertain tax positions and no adjustments to such reserves were required upon adoption of this interpretation. Interest and penalties resulting from audits by tax authorities have been immaterial and are included in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

In addition to our federal income tax return, we file income tax returns in various state jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2004. Our federal income tax returns for 2004 through 2006 are currently under examination. We anticipate that the examination will be completed in fiscal year 2009, and that any adjustments that may result from this examination would not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Income from Discontinued Operations—Net of Income Taxes

As a result of the spin-off of Chaparral, the operating results of our steel segment, including the allocation of certain corporate expenses, have been presented as discontinued operations. Fiscal year 2006 includes steel operations through the July 29, 2005 spin-off date.

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. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect management’s more complex judgments and estimates.

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 defendants 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.

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.

Goodwill.    Management tests goodwill for impairment at least annually. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized. In applying a fair-value-based test, estimates are made of the expected future cash flows to be derived from the applicable 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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This standard applies to derivative instruments, nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133. It does not change the accounting for derivatives and hedging activities, but requires enhanced disclosures concerning the effect on the financial statements from their use. This SFAS is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Currently, we do not have any instruments that would be impacted by this standard.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations.” This standard amends the principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. It also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This SFAS is effective for us beginning June 1, 2009, and we will apply it prospectively to all business combinations subsequent to the effective date.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51.” This standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the controlling and noncontrolling interest and requires the separate disclosure of income attributable to controlling and noncontrolling interests. This SFAS is effective for us beginning June 1, 2009. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have a material 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.” This standard 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. This SFAS is effective for us on June 1, 2008. At this time, we do not anticipate electing 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.” This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. This SFAS is effective for us beginning June 1, 2008. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a current material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During 2008, to improve liquidity and provide more financial and operating flexibility, we entered into a term credit agreement that provided for an unsecured $150 million senior term loan maturing through August 15, 2012. In addition, we elected to receive $103.9 million in distributions and policy surrenders from life insurance contracts purchased in connection with certain of our benefit plans. These distributions represent substantially all the distributions available to us.

In addition to cash and cash equivalents of $39.5 million at May 31, 2008, our sources of liquidity include cash from operations and borrowings available under our $200 million senior revolving credit facility.

Senior Revolving Credit Facility.    On August 15, 2007, we amended and restated our June 30, 2005 credit agreement. The amended and restated credit agreement continues to provide for a $200 million senior revolving credit facility, but the credit facility is no longer secured and the principal amount may be increased by up to an additional $100 million at our option, provided that the lenders that are parties to the amended and restated credit agreement and such additional lenders as are invited by us and approved by the administrative agent provide

24

commitments for the additional principal amount. The credit facility expires on August 15, 2012. It includes a $50 million sub-limit for letters of credit. Any outstanding letters of credit are deducted from the borrowing availability under the facility. No borrowings were outstanding at May 31, 2008; however, $26.0 million of the facility was utilized to support letters of credit. Amounts drawn under the facility bear interest either at the LIBOR rate plus a margin of .75% to 2%, or at a base rate (which is the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% and the prime rate) plus a margin of up to 1%. The interest rate margins are subject to adjustments based on our leverage ratio. Commitment fees are payable currently at an annual rate of .25% on the unused portion of the facility. All of our consolidated subsidiaries have guaranteed our obligations under the credit facility. We may terminate the facility at any time.

The credit facility contains covenants restricting, among other things, prepayment or redemption of the senior notes, distributions, dividends and repurchases of capital stock and other equity interests, acquisitions and investments, indebtedness, liens and affiliate transactions. We are required to comply with certain financial tests and to maintain certain financial ratios, such as leverage and interest coverage ratios. We were in compliance with all of these loan covenants as of May 31, 2008.

Term Credit Agreement.    On March 20, 2008, we entered into a term credit agreement that provided for an unsecured $150 million senior term loan maturing through August 15, 2012. The net proceeds were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our senior revolving credit facility in the amount of $85 million, with the additional proceeds available for general corporate purposes. The outstanding principal amount of the term loan bears interest either at LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.25% to 2.50% or at a base rate (which will be the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% and the prime rate) plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.50%. The interest rate margins are based on our leverage ratio. We may repay the term loan at any time without penalty. We must mandatorily prepay the term loan in the amount of the net cash proceeds from issuances of any additional senior notes or from certain asset sales. All of our consolidated subsidiaries have guaranteed our obligations under the term credit agreement.

Similar to our senior revolving credit agreement, the term credit agreement contains a number of negative covenants restricting, among other things, prepayment or redemption of the senior notes, distributions and dividends on and repurchases of capital stock and other equity interests, acquisitions and investments, indebtedness, liens and affiliate transactions. We are required to comply with certain financial tests and to maintain certain financial ratios, such as leverage and interest coverage ratios. We were in compliance with all of these loan covenants as of May 31, 2008.

(1) Our long-term debt is described in the note entitled “Long-term Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report. Our outstanding letters of credit issued under the senior revolving credit facility only collateralize payment of recorded liabilities.

(2) We lease certain mobile and other equipment, office space and other items used in our operations under operating leases that in the normal course of business may be renewed or replaced by subsequent leases. Future payments under leases exclude mineral rights which are insignificant and are generally required only for products produced.

(3) We purchase coal and other materials for use in our cement and expanded shale and clay plants that require minimum amounts of material be purchased. These future minimum payment amounts exclude transportation surcharges that may be imposed under certain circumstances. In addition, we purchase mining services for use at our north Texas cement plant. We expect to utilize these materials and services in the normal course of business operations.

(4) We have entered into construction and equipment purchase contracts in connection with the expansion of our Hunter, Texas cement plant. We currently expect to begin the startup and commissioning process during the winter of fiscal year 2010. In addition, we have certain obligations remaining under construction and equipment purchase contracts entered into in connection with our project to expand and modernize our Oro Grande, California cement plant completed in May 2008.

(5) We have entered into a long-term contract with a power supplier which includes the construction of certain power facilities at our Oro Grande, California cement plant. We recognized a capital lease obligation of $9.5 million related to payment obligations under the power supply contract related to these facilities. The total commitment under the contract includes maintenance services to be provided by the power supplier.

(6) 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.

(7) We pay benefits under a series of non-qualified defined benefit plans.

(8) We pay benefits under a health benefit plan covering approximately 600 employees and retirees of our California cement subsidiary. These employees are also covered by a qualified defined benefit pension plan. We contribute amounts sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements as set forth in employee benefit and tax laws plus additional amounts considered appropriate. We do not expect to make a plan contribution in fiscal year 2009.

In October 2007, we commenced construction on a project to expand our Hunter, Texas cement plant. We are expanding the Hunter plant by approximately 1.4 million tons of advanced dry process annual cement production capacity. The 900,000 tons of existing annual cement production capacity will remain in operation. We currently expect the Hunter project will cost from $325 million to $350 million, excluding estimated capitalized interest of $30 million related to the project. As of May 31, 2008, we have expended $76.3 million, excluding capitalized interest of $1.9 million related to the project. We currently expect to begin the startup and commissioning process during the winter of fiscal year 2010.

In May 2008, we completed construction on a project to expand and modernize our Oro Grande, California cement plant at a total project cost of approximately $427 million, excluding capitalized interest of $38.9 million related to the project. We constructed approximately 2.3 million tons of advanced dry process annual cement production capacity, and have retired the 1.3 million tons of existing, but less efficient, production.

We expect cash and cash equivalents, cash from operations, available borrowings under our senior revolving credit facility and cash held by a qualified intermediary trust for reinvestment in like-kind exchange transactions to be sufficient to provide funds for capital expenditure commitments currently estimated to be approximately $300 million to $325 million for 2009 (including the expansion of our Hunter, Texas plant and like-kind-exchange acquisitions), scheduled debt payments, working capital needs and other general corporate purposes for at least the next year.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $101.6 million, $186.0 million and $97.4 million, respectively.

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for fiscal year 2008 decreased $84.4 million from fiscal year 2007. The decrease was primarily the result of lower income from operations and changes in working capital items including increases in receivables and inventories. Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for fiscal year 2007 increased $88.6 million from fiscal year 2006. The increase was primarily the result of higher net income and changes in working capital items. We also incurred a federal net operating tax loss in fiscal year 2006 that resulted in a $9.5 million tax refund claim realized in fiscal year 2007.

Net cash used by continuing investment activities for fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $207.0 million, $268.0 million and $141.4 million, respectively.

Net cash used by continuing investing activities for fiscal year 2008 decreased $61.0 million from fiscal year 2007 primarily as a result of proceeds received from our life insurance contract investments. Net cash used by continuing investing activities for fiscal year 2007 increased $126.6 million from fiscal year 2006 primarily as a result of higher capital expenditures.

Capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, incurred in connection with the expansion and modernization of our Oro Grande, California cement plant for fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $176.0 million, $208.4 million and $73.2 million, respectively. Capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, incurred in connection with the expansion of our Hunter, Texas cement plant for fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $71.6 million, $6.5 million and $200,000, respectively. Capital expenditures for normal replacement and technological upgrades of existing equipment and acquisitions to sustain our existing operations for fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $65.0 million, $102.8 million and $36.9 million, respectively. We increased our investments in our north Texas aggregate operations in fiscal year 2007 to upgrade our rail distribution system and improve our production facilities.

Proceeds from asset disposals in fiscal year 2008 included the proceeds from the sale of operating assets and real estate associated with our aggregate operations in south Louisiana and north Texas. In connection with these sales proceeds of $28.7 million were held by a qualified intermediary trust for reinvestment in like-kind-exchange transactions. In fiscal year 2006, proceeds from asset disposals included the proceeds from the sale of real estate associated with our expanded shale and clay operations in south Texas.

We elected to receive $103.9 million in distributions and policy surrenders from life insurance contracts purchased in connection with certain of our benefit plans in fiscal year 2008. We invested $50.5 million in auction rate securities in fiscal year 2006 which were sold in fiscal year 2007. We did not hold any auction rate securities in fiscal year 2008.

Net cash provided (used) by continuing financing activities for fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $129.9 million, $13.0 million and $(453.5) million, respectively.

We entered into a term credit agreement that provided for an unsecured $150 million senior term loan in fiscal year 2008. A portion of the net proceeds was used to repay borrowings outstanding under our senior revolving credit facility in the amount of $85 million. Borrowings outstanding under our senior revolving credit facility decreased $15.0 million, net of repayments. In fiscal year 2007, borrowings under our senior revolving credit facility increased $15.0 million, net of repayments. In fiscal year 2006, we purchased $600 million aggregate principal amount of our 10.25% senior notes, paying $96.0 million in premiums and consent payments plus transaction costs. To fund the purchase we issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.25% senior notes and incurred $7.4 million in debt issuance costs, received a cash dividend of $341.1 million from Chaparral and used $112.3 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand.

Proceeds from stock option exercises and the related tax benefits for fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $6.6 million, $8.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively. Dividends paid on our common stock in fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $8.2 million, $7.5 million and $6.9 million, respectively.

27

Net cash provided by discontinued operations for fiscal year 2006 was $330.1 million. In connection with our refinancing and spin-off transactions, Chaparral issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes and entered into a separate senior secured revolving credit facility. The net proceeds were used to pay us a dividend of $341.1 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 “Legal Proceedings” in Item 1, Business, 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.

The estimated fair value of each class of financial instrument as of May 31, 2008 approximates its carrying value except for long-term debt having fixed interest rates. At May 31, 2008, the fair value of long-term debt having fixed interest rates, estimated based on broker/dealer quoted market prices, is approximately $253.1 million compared to the carrying amount of $250.0 million. With respect to borrowings under our $150 million senior term loan and senior revolving credit facility, which are variable rate debt, a 10 percent change in interest rates for the year ended May 31, 2008, would not have resulted in a significant annual change in our pretax earnings and cash flows.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries is a leading supplier of heavy construction materials in the United States through three business segments: cement, aggregates and consumer products, which produce and sell cement; stone, sand and gravel and expanded shale and clay aggregate; and ready-mix concrete and packaged concrete and related products, respectively, from facilities 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation.    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas Industries, Inc. and all subsidiaries except a former subsidiary trust, in which we had a variable interest but were not the primary beneficiary. The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of a qualified intermediary trust, in which we are 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. Discontinued operations relate to our former steel segment which we spun-off in the form of a pro-rata, tax-free dividend to our shareholders on July 29, 2005. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts in the accompanying notes relate to our continuing operations. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments.    The estimated fair value of each class of financial instrument as of May 31, 2008 approximates its carrying value except for long-term debt having fixed interest rates. The fair value of long-term debt at May 31, 2008, estimated based on broker/dealer quoted market prices, is approximately $412.7 million compared to the carrying amount of $409.6 million.

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.

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

34

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. Provisions for depletion of mineral deposits are computed on the basis of the estimated quantity of recoverable raw materials. Useful lives for our primary operating facilities range from 10 to 25 years with certain special purpose structures having useful lives of 40 years.

Mining Stripping Costs.    On June 1, 2006, we adopted, Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 04-6, “Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred during Production in the Mining Industry,” which requires that stripping costs incurred during the production phase of the mine be included in the costs of the inventory produced during the period that the stripping costs are incurred. As of May 31, 2006, the balance of our capitalized post-production stripping costs was $7.9 million. In accordance with the transition provision of EITF 04-6, we wrote off these deferred costs, effective June 1, 2006, and recorded a charge to retained earnings of $4.9 million, net of tax benefits of $3.0 million. We now recognize the costs of all post-production stripping activity as a cost of the inventory produced during the period the stripping costs are incurred. Although dependent in part on the level of post-production stripping activity which varies from period to period, this EITF has not had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations for periods following adoption.

Major Maintenance Activities.    Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Effective June 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board FSP AUG AIR-1, “Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance Activities.” This FSP addresses the planned major maintenance of assets and prohibits the use of the “accrue-in-advance” method of accounting for these activities. The adoption of this FSP did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill.    Management tests goodwill for impairment at least annually by reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized. 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. Goodwill having a carrying value of $58.4 million at both May 31, 2008 and 2007 resulted from the acquisition of Riverside Cement Company and is identified with our California cement operations. Goodwill having a carrying value of $1.7 million at May 31, 2008 resulted from the acquisition of ready-mix operations in Texas and Louisiana and is identified with our consumer products operations. In each case, 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 or multi-use parks totaled $6.0 million at May 31, 2008 and $6.2 million at May 31, 2007.

Investments include life insurance contracts purchased in connection with certain of our benefit plans. The contracts, recorded at their net cash surrender value, totaled $6.0 million (net of distributions of $88.1 million plus accrued interest) at May 31, 2008 and $105.0 million (net of distributions of $1.2 million plus accrued interest) at May 31, 2007. 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 $103.9 million were received in 2008.

Investments at May 31, 2008 include $19.2 million representing the long-term portion of a note received in connection with the sale of land associated with our expanded shale and clay operations in south Texas in 2006. On May 29, 2008, the maturity date of the note was extended to May 31, 2010. The outstanding balance of the note totaled $21.2 million at May 31, 2007 and is included in Receivables-net.

In addition, investments at May 31, 2008 include $28.7 million of cash investments representing the proceeds from sales of aggregate property which are held in escrow by a qualified intermediary trust for reinvestment in like-kind-exchange transactions.

35

Deferred Charges and Other.    Deferred charges are composed primarily of debt issuance costs that totaled $6.4 million at May 31, 2008 and $5.4 million at May 31, 2007. The costs are amortized over the term of the related debt.

Other Credits.    Other credits totaled $66.8 million at May 31, 2008 and $62.9 million at May 31, 2007 and are composed primarily of liabilities related to our retirement plans, deferred compensation agreements and asset retirement obligations.

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:

	2008			2007
	In thousands
Balance at beginning of year	$	4,987		$	4,346
Additions		259			811
Accretion expense		393			380
Settlements		(1,678	)		(550	)
Balance at end of year	$	3,961		$	4,987

Other Comprehensive Income.    Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income for 2008 consists of net income and adjustments to recognize the funded status of our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans, net of tax. Comprehensive income for 2007 and 2006 consists of net income and the pension liability adjustment to shareholders’ equity prior to adoption of SFAS No. 158. Comprehensive income was $84.5 million in 2008, $102.7 million in 2007, $11.4 million in 2006.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R).” This standard requires that previously unrecognized actuarial gains or losses, prior service costs or credits and transition obligations or assets be recognized generally through adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income and accrued postretirement benefit liabilities. As a result of these adjustments, the current funded status of all of our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans has been reflected in our May 31, 2008 and 2007 consolidated balance sheets.

The cumulative postretirement benefit plan adjustment totaled $7.1 million (net of tax of $4.2 million) at May 31, 2008. The cumulative pension liability adjustment to shareholders’ equity prior to adoption of SFAS No. 158 totaled $2.7 million (net of tax of $1.6 million) at May 31, 2007. The postretirement benefit plan adjustment to initially apply SFAS No. 158 totaled $1.5 million (net of tax of $900,000) at May 31, 2007. The adjustments relate to a defined benefit retirement plan and a postretirement health benefit plan covering approximately 600 employees and retirees of our California cement subsidiary.

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 including these delivery fees.

36

Other Income.    Routine sales of operating assets and real estate resulted in gains of $20.6 million in 2008, $5.3 million in 2007 and $35.0 million in 2006. In addition, other income in 2008 includes a gain of $3.9 million from the sale of emissions credits associated with our California cement operations. Other income in 2007 includes $19.8 million representing distributions which we received pursuant to agreements that settled a 16-year dispute over the U.S. antidumping duty order on cement imports from Mexico. Other income in 2006 includes a gain of $3.8 million from the sale of certain investment assets.

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.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.”. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 effective June 1, 2007. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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 income from continuing operations and the outstanding shares for the dilutive effect of convertible subordinated debentures, stock options, restricted shares and awards.

Basic and Diluted EPS are calculated as follows:

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 the average stock price at the end of each period until such awards are paid. The results for periods prior to June 1, 2006 have not been restated.

38

SFAS No. 123R also requires that the benefits associated with tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as previously required. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after the effective date. These future amounts cannot be estimated, because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options.

Prior to June 1, 2006, we accounted for employee stock options using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” as allowed by SFAS No. 123. Generally, no expense was recognized related to our stock options under this method because the exercise price of each option was set at the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date the option was granted.

In accordance with SFAS No. 123, we disclosed the compensation cost related to our stock options based on the estimated fair value at the date of grant. All options were granted with graded vesting 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 with forfeitures recognized as they occurred. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant for purposes of the pro forma disclosures using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

In addition to grants under our stock option plans, we have provided stock-based compensation to employees and directors under stock appreciation rights contracts, deferred compensation agreements, restricted stock payments and a former stock awards program. Stock compensation expense related to these grants is included in the determination of net income as reported in the financial statements over the vesting periods of the related grants.

If we had applied the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123, our net income and earnings per share for 2006 would have been adjusted to the following pro forma amounts.

Recent Accounting Developments.    In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This standard applies to derivative instruments, nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133. It does not change the accounting for derivatives and hedging activities, but requires enhanced disclosures concerning the effect on the financial statements from their use. This SFAS is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Currently, we do not have any instruments that would be impacted by this standard.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations.” This standard amends the principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes

39

and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. It also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This SFAS is effective for us beginning June 1, 2009, and we will apply it prospectively to all business combinations subsequent to the effective date.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51.” This standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the controlling and noncontrolling interest and requires the separate disclosure of income attributable to controlling and noncontrolling interests. This SFAS is effective for us beginning June 1, 2009. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have a material 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.” This standard 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. This SFAS is effective for us on June 1, 2008. At this time, we do not anticipate electing 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.” This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. This SFAS is effective for us beginning June 1, 2008. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a current material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Senior Revolving Credit Facility.    On August 15, 2007, we amended and restated our June 30, 2005 credit agreement. The amended and restated credit agreement continues to provide for a $200 million senior revolving credit facility, but the credit facility is no longer secured and the principal amount may be increased by up to an additional $100 million at our option, provided that the lenders that are parties to the amended and restated credit agreement and such additional lenders as are invited by us and approved by the administrative agent provide commitments for the additional principal amount. The credit facility expires on August 15, 2012. It includes a $50 million sub-limit for letters of credit. Any outstanding letters of credit are deducted from the borrowing availability under the facility. No borrowings were outstanding at May 31, 2008; however, $26.0 million of the facility was utilized to support letters of credit. Amounts drawn under the facility bear interest either at the LIBOR rate plus a margin of .75% to 2%, or at a base rate (which is the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.5%

41

and the prime rate) plus a margin of up to 1%. The interest rate margins are subject to adjustments based on our leverage ratio. Commitment fees are payable currently at an annual rate of .25% on the unused portion of the facility. All of our consolidated subsidiaries have guaranteed our obligations under the credit facility. We may terminate the facility at any time.

The credit facility contains covenants restricting, among other things, prepayment or redemption of the senior notes, distributions, dividends and repurchases of capital stock and other equity interests, acquisitions and investments, indebtedness, liens and affiliate transactions. We are required to comply with certain financial tests and to maintain certain financial ratios, such as leverage and interest coverage ratios. We were in compliance with all of these loan covenants as of May 31, 2008.

Term Credit Agreement.    On March 20, 2008, we entered into a term credit agreement that provided for an unsecured $150 million senior term loan maturing through August 15, 2012. The net proceeds were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our senior revolving credit facility in the amount of $85 million, with the additional proceeds available for general corporate purposes. The outstanding principal amount of the term loan bears interest either at LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.25% to 2.50% or at a base rate (which will be the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% and the prime rate) plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.50%. The interest rate margins are based on our leverage ratio. We may repay the term loan at any time without penalty. We must mandatorily prepay the term loan in the amount of the net cash proceeds from issuances of any additional senior notes or from certain asset sales. All of our consolidated subsidiaries have guaranteed our obligations under the term credit agreement.

Similar to our senior revolving credit agreement, the term credit agreement contains a number of negative covenants restricting, among other things, prepayment or redemption of the senior notes, distributions and dividends on and repurchases of capital stock and other equity interests, acquisitions and investments, indebtedness, liens and affiliate transactions. We are required to comply with certain financial tests and to maintain certain financial ratios, such as leverage and interest coverage ratios. We were in compliance with all of these loan covenants as of May 31, 2008.

7.25% Senior Notes.    At any time on or prior to July 15, 2009, we may redeem the notes at a redemption price equal to the sum of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest and a make-whole premium. On and after July 15, 2009, we may redeem the notes at a premium of 103.625% in 2009, 101.813% in 2010 and 100% in 2011 and thereafter. In addition, prior to July 15, 2008, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes at a redemption price equal to 107.25% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings. 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.

Conversion and Redemption of Convertible Subordinated Debentures.    On June 5, 1998, we issued $206.2 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% convertible subordinated debentures due June 30, 2028 (the “Debentures”). TXI Capital Trust I (the “Trust”), a Delaware business trust 100% owned by us, issued 4,000,000 of its 5.5% Shared Preference Redeemable Securities (“Preferred Securities”) to the public for gross proceeds of $200 million. The combined proceeds from the issuance of the Preferred Securities and the issuance to us of the common securities of the Trust were invested by the Trust in the Debentures which were the sole assets of the Trust. Each Preferred Security was convertible at any time prior to its redemption date at the option of the holder into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of .97468 shares of our common stock for each Preferred Security. Upon redemption or conversion of the Preferred Securities a like aggregate principal amount of Debentures was redeemed or converted.

42

On May 9, 2006, we exchanged 795,471 shares of our common stock for 804,240 Preferred Securities. The exchange reduced the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures by $40.2 million, and increased common stock and additional paid-in capital by $40.1 million. We recognized a loss of $800,000 representing the transaction costs and the market value of the premium paid in common shares.

The Trust made a call for redemption of $60 million of the Preferred Securities on January 23, 2007 and a call for redemption of all remaining Preferred Securities on February 23, 2007. As a result holders of Preferred Securities converted a liquidation amount of $157.9 million of Preferred Securities into 3,076,845 shares of our common stock. The conversions increased common stock and additional paid-in capital by a total of $110.8 million and reduced the cost of common stock in treasury by a total of $44.8 million. The remaining Preferred Securities were redeemed for the liquidation amount of $1.8 million plus accrued distributions. In conjunction with the conversions and redemptions of the Preferred Securities, all outstanding Debentures were also converted or redeemed and the Trust dissolved.

Refinancing in Connection with the Spin-off of Chaparral.    In connection with the spin-off of Chaparral in July 2005, we entered into new financing agreements and purchased the outstanding $600 million aggregate principal amount of our 10.25% senior notes due 2011 (“10.25% Senior Notes”). On July 6, 2005, we issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.25% senior notes due July 15, 2013 (“7.25% Senior Notes”) and entered into our senior secured revolving credit facility. In addition, Chaparral issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of its senior notes due 2013 (“Chaparral Senior Notes”) and entered into a separate senior secured revolving credit facility. Chaparral used the net proceeds from its note offering and borrowings under its credit facility to pay us a dividend of $341.1 million. We used the net proceeds from our offering of notes, the dividend paid by Chaparral and existing cash to purchase for cash all of our outstanding $600 million aggregate principal amount of 10.25% Senior Notes. We paid a total of $699.5 million to the holders of the 10.25% Senior Notes, which was comprised of $600 million of principal, $3.6 million of accrued interest and $95.9 million of premiums and consent fees. We recorded a charge of $107.0 million related to the early retirement of the 10.25% Senior Notes and former credit facility, consisting of $96.0 million in premiums or consent payments and transaction costs and a write-off of $11.0 million of debt issuance costs and interest rate swap gains and losses associated with the debt repaid. On July 29, 2005, Chaparral became an independent, public company and we have no obligations with respect to Chaparral’s long-term debt. Chaparral is not a guarantor of any of our indebtedness nor are we a guarantor of any Chaparral indebtedness.

Other.    As part of our project to expand and modernize our Oro Grande, California cement plant, we entered into a long-term contract with a power supplier which includes the construction of certain power facilities at the plant. We have recorded additions to property, plant and equipment of $200,000 in 2008 and $9.3 million in 2007 representing the fair market value of the power facilities and the related capital lease obligation included in the power supply contract.

Required principal payments on long-term debt, excluding the capital lease obligation, for each of the five succeeding years, are $7.5 million for 2009, $7.5 million for 2010, $30.0 million for 2011, $30.0 million for 2012 and $75.0 million for 2013. The total amount of interest paid was $24.9 million in 2008, $25.7 million in 2007 and $55.7 million in 2006. Interest capitalized was $26.5 million in 2008, $12.9 million in 2007 and $1.5 million in 2006.

COMMITMENTS

Operating Leases.    We lease certain mobile and other equipment, office space and other items which in the normal course of business may be renewed or replaced by subsequent leases. Total expense for such operating leases (other than for mineral rights) amounted to $20.1 million in 2008, $18.6 million in 2007 and $20.8 million in 2006. Non-cancelable operating leases with an initial or remaining term of more than one year totaled $72.9 million at May 31, 2008. Estimated lease payments for each of the five succeeding years are $19.8 million, $12.9 million, $14.1 million, $9.5 million and $10.5 million.

Purchase Obligations.    We purchase coal and other materials for use in our cement and expanded shale and clay plants under long-term contracts that require minimum amounts of material be purchased. We expect to

43

utilize these required amounts in the normal course of business operations. In addition, we purchase in the normal course of business mining services for use at our north Texas cement plant under a long-term contract that contains provisions for minimum payments. Total cost incurred under these contracts was $39.2 million in 2008, $34.3 million in 2007 and $7.1 million in 2006. Future minimum payments, which exclude transportation surcharges that may be imposed under certain circumstances total $27.5 million for 2009, $7.7 million for 2010 and $100,000 for 2011.

In October 2007, we commenced construction on a project to expand our Hunter, Texas cement plant. We currently expect the Hunter project will cost from $325 million to $350 million, excluding estimated capitalized interest of $30 million related to the project. As of May 31, 2008, we have expended $76.3 million, excluding capitalized interest of $1.9 million related to the project. We currently expect to begin the startup and commissioning process during the winter of fiscal year 2010.

In May 2008, we completed construction on a project to expand and modernize our Oro Grande, California cement plant at a total cost of approximately $427 million, excluding capitalized interest of $38.9 million related to the project. In addition, we have entered into a long-term contract with a power supplier which includes the construction of certain power facilities at the plant. We recognized a capital lease obligation of $9.5 million related to payment obligations under the power supply contract related to these facilities. The total commitment under the contract, including maintenance services to be provided by the power supplier, related to these facilities totaled $29.6 million at May 31, 2008. Payments for each of the five succeeding years are $1.6 million per year.

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 May 31, 2008. 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.

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. During 2006, our Board of Directors approved the amendment of certain options to conform the “change of control” provisions in such options with the terms of our other agreements.

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

44

cost recognized using a straight-line attribution method over the shorter of the vesting period or required service period adjusted for estimated forfeitures. The following table sets forth the information about the weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the three years ended May 31, 2008 and the weighted-average assumptions used for such grants.

	2008			2007			2006
Weighted average grant date fair value	$	17.59		$	27.61		$	20.46
Weighted average assumptions used:

Risk-free interest rates		3.21	%		4.78	%		4.31	%
Expected dividend yields		.59	%		.43	%		.58	%

Expected volatility is based on an analysis of historical volatility of our common stock. Expected lives of options is 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.

As of May 31, 2008, the aggregate intrinsic value (the difference in the closing market price of our common stock of $72.90 and the exercise price to be paid by the optionee) of stock options outstanding was $49.5 million. The aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable stock options at that date was $39.6 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 $6.9 million in 2008, $12.7 million in 2007 and $14.1 million in 2006.

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 May 31, 2008, outstanding stock appreciation rights totaled 155,979 shares, deferred compensation agreements to be settled in cash totaled 98,859 shares, deferred compensation agreements to be settled in common stock totaled 7,012 shares, unvested restricted stock payments totaled 18,667 shares and stock awards totaled 6,426 shares. Other credits included $14.4 million at May 31, 2008 and $17.9 million at May 31, 2007 representing accrued compensation which is expected to be settled in cash.

Total stock-based compensation included in selling, general and administrative expense was $2.4 million in 2008, $13.9 million in 2007 and $4.4 million in 2006. The impact of changes in our company’s stock price on stock-based awards accounted for as liabilities reduced stock-based compensation $2.6 million in 2008 and increased stock-based compensation $9.9 million in 2007 and $3.7 million in 2006. The total tax expense or benefit recognized in our statements of operations for stock-based compensation was an expense of less than $100,000 in 2008 and a benefit of $4.5 million in 2007 and $1.6 million in 2006. The total tax benefit realized for stock-based compensation was $3.3 million in 2008, $1.7 million in 2007 and $10.7 million in 2006.

As of May 31, 2008, $10.4 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 approximately $3.8 million of this stock-based compensation expense in 2009, $2.9 million in 2010, $2.0 million in 2011, $1.2 million in 2012, $400,000 in 2013 and thereafter an aggregate of $100,000.

INCENTIVE PLANS

All personnel employed as of May 31 and not subject to production-based incentive awards share in our pretax income for the year then ended based on predetermined formulas. The duration of most of the plans is one year. Certain executives are additionally covered under a three-year plan. All plans are subject to annual review by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Incentive compensation included in selling, general and administrative expense was $18.7 million in 2008, $27.5 million in 2007 and $19.3 million in 2006.

RETIREMENT PLANS

Defined Benefit Plans.    Approximately 600 employees and retirees of our subsidiary, Riverside Cement Company, are covered by a defined benefit pension plan and a postretirement health benefit plan. In addition, substantially all of our executive and certain managerial employees are covered by a series of financial security plans that are non-qualified defined benefit plans providing retirement and death benefits. We use a measurement date of May 31 for all of our pension and postretirement benefit plans.

Effective May 31, 2007, we adopted SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R).” This standard requires the recognition in pension obligations and accumulated other comprehensive income of actuarial gains or losses, prior service costs or credits and transition assets or obligations that had previously been deferred. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 158 we recorded an adjustment of approximately $1.5 million (net of tax of $900,000) to accumulated other comprehensive loss effective May 31, 2007.

The pretax 2008 changes in accumulated comprehensive income consist of the following:

	Pension Benefits			Other Benefits

Net actuarial loss at beginning of year	$	6,429		$	8,358
Amortization of actuarial loss		(220	)		(656	)

Riverside Defined Benefit Plans.    Our defined benefit pension plan and postretirement health benefit plan were changed effective June 24, 2007 such that a newly hired union employee is no longer eligible to participate in the pension plan and is not eligible for postretirement medical and/or life insurance benefits. For existing union employees retiring on or after June 24, 2007, the limit on the total annual cost of the retiree’s and dependent’s health insurance to be paid by us was increased. In addition, work force reductions occurred in connection with the start up of our new Oro Grande cement plant resulting in a curtailment of pension and postretirement health plan benefits. Approximately $400,000 in prior service cost credits related to the postretirement health benefit plan was immediately recognized.

The amount of the defined benefit pension plan and postretirement health benefit plan expense charged to costs and expenses was as follows:

Unrecognized prior service costs and credits 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.

We contribute amounts sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements as set forth in employee benefit and tax laws plus such additional amounts as are considered appropriate. We do not expect to make a contribution in 2009.

Obligation and asset data for the defined benefit pension plan and postretirement health benefit plan at May 31 were as follows:

Accumulated benefit obligation for the defined benefit pension plan was $44.2 million at May 31, 2008 and $43.5 million at May 31, 2007.

The estimated future benefit payments under the defined benefit pension plan for each of the five succeeding years are $2.4 million, $2.6 million, $2.8 million, $3.0 million and $3.2 million and for the five-year period thereafter an aggregate of $19.0 million.

The plan fiduciaries set the long-term strategic investment objectives for the defined benefit pension plan assets. The objectives include preserving the funded status of the trust and balancing risk and return. Investment performance and plan asset mix are periodically reviewed with external consultants. Plan assets are currently allocated to the fixed income and equity categories of investments in a manner that varies in the short term, but has a long term objective of averaging approximately 60% in equity securities and 40% in fixed income securities. Within these categories, investments are allocated to multiple asset classes. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of 8.25% for 2008 was determined by considering historical and expected returns for each asset class and the effect of periodic asset rebalancing and, for underperforming assets, reallocation. The current allocation of plan assets has both a long-term and a short-term historical rate of return that exceeds the plan objectives. While historical returns are not guarantees of future performance, these allocations are expected to meet the objectives of the plan.

The actual defined benefit pension plan asset allocation at May 31, 2008 and 2007, and the target asset allocation for 2009, by asset category were as follows

% of Plan Assets	2008		2007		Target 2009
Equity securities	62	%	61	%	60	%
Fixed income securities	38	%	39	%	40	%
	100	%	100	%	100	%

The assumed health care cost trend rates attributed to all participant age groups were 8% for 2008 declining to an ultimate trend rate of 6% in 2010. Increasing or decreasing health care cost trend rates by one percentage point would have increased or decreased the health benefit obligation at May 31, 2008 by approximately $300,000 and the 2008 plan expense by approximately $20,000.

The estimated future benefit payments under the postretirement health benefit plan for each of the five succeeding years are $400,000, $400,000, $400,000, $400,000 and $500,000 and for the five-year period thereafter an aggregate of $2.6 million.

Financial Security Defined Benefit Plans.    The amount of financial security plan benefit expense and the projected financial security plan benefit obligation are determined using assumptions as of the end of the year. The weighted-average discount rate used was 6.70% in 2008 and 6.15% in 2007. Actuarial gains or losses are recognized when incurred, and therefore, the end of year benefit obligation is the same as the accrued benefit costs recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The amount of financial security plan benefit expense charged to costs and expenses was as follows:

	2008			2007			2006
	In thousands
Service cost	$	3,045		$	2,286		$	1,949

The estimated future benefit payments under the financial security plans for each of the five succeeding years are $2.8 million, $3.1 million, $3.0 million, $2.5 million and $3.0 million and for the five-year period thereafter an aggregate of $20.7 million.

Defined Contribution Plans.    Substantially all of our employees are covered by a series of defined contribution retirement plans. The amount of pension expense charged to costs and expenses for these plans was $6.0 million in 2008, $5.5 million in 2007 and $4.4 million in 2006. It is our policy to fund the plans to the extent of charges to income.

INCOME TAXES

Effective June 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We have no significant reserves for uncertain tax positions and no adjustments to such reserves were required upon adoption of this interpretation. Interest and penalties resulting from audits by tax authorities have been immaterial and are included in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

The provisions (benefit) for income taxes are composed of:

We made income tax payments of $26.8 million in 2008, $34.3 million in 2007 and $4.3 million in 2006, and received income tax refunds of $600,000 in 2008 and $8.4 million in 2007.

As of May 31, 2008, we had an alternative minimum tax credit carryforward of $1.3 million. The credit, which does not expire, is available for offset against future regular federal income tax. Management believes it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will be realized.

The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, among other things, allows a deduction for income from qualified domestic production activities, which will be phased in from 2005 through 2010. We realized a benefit of $1.2 million in 2008 and $1.1 million in 2007, but did not realize a benefit in 2006 because of a taxable loss for the year.

In addition to our federal income tax return, we file income tax returns in various state jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2004. Our federal income tax returns for 2004 through 2006 are currently under examination. We anticipate that the examination will be completed in fiscal year 2009, and that any adjustments that may result from this examination would not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

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 believes that dust blowing from open stockpiles of gray clinker or other operations at our Crestmore 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. In late April 2008, a lawsuit was filed in Riverside County Superior Court styled Virginia Shellman et al. v. Riverside Cement Holdings Company et al. The lawsuit purports to be a class action complaint for medical monitoring for a putative class defined as individuals who were allegedly exposed to hexavalent chromium emissions from our Crestmore cement plant in Riverside, California. 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, punitive and exemplary damages and 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. We will defend vigorously against the Shellman suit but no discovery has occurred, and we cannot predict what liability, if any, may arise from the complaint. We also cannot predict whether any other suits may be filed by individuals alleging damages due to injuries to their person or property caused by claimed exposure to chrome 6. As of the date of this report, we are not aware that any such lawsuits have been filed, but there can be no assurances that such suits will not be filed, nor can we currently predict what liability, if any, could arise from any such suits.

On July 3, 2008 the California Attorney General and the Riverside County District Attorney filed a complaint styled The People of the State of California v. TXI Riverside, Inc., TXI California, Inc. and Riverside Cement Holdings Company. The complaint against the two general partners in Riverside Cement Company and a subsidiary of Riverside Cement Company alleges that the defendants failed to warn persons of exposure to chrome 6 under California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, which is known as Proposition 65. It further alleges that defendants have known since at least 2006 that the clinker at the Crestmore plant contains chrome 6, causing exposure to persons present in the surrounding area. The complaint also alleges that knowingly and intentionally exposing individuals to chrome 6 without first giving warning to them violates Proposition 65 and constitutes unfair competition within the meaning of the California Business and Professions Code. The complaint requests the award of civil penalties and injunctive relief. We will vigorously defend the suit but no discovery has occurred, and we cannot predict what liability, if any, could arise from the complaint.

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 effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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 aggregates. Through the consumer products segment we produce and sell ready-mix concrete as our principal product, as well as packaged concrete and related products. We account for intersegment sales at market prices. Segment operating profit consists of net sales less operating costs and expenses, including certain operating overhead and other

52

income items not allocated to a specific segment. Corporate includes those administrative, financial, legal, environmental, human resources 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, short-term investments, real estate and other financial assets not identified with a business segment.

The following is a summary of operating results and certain other financial data for our business segments.

All sales were made in the United States during the periods presented with no single customer representing more than 10 percent of sales. All of our identifiable assets are located in the United States.

Cement segment operating profit in 2008 includes $3.9 million from the sale of emission credits associated with our California cement operations. In addition, cement segment operating profit in 2007 includes $19.8 million representing distributions which we received pursuant to agreements that settled a 16-year dispute over the U.S. antidumping duty order on cement imports from Mexico.

Aggregates segment operating profit in 2008 includes gains of $15.2 million from sales of operating assets and real estate associated with our aggregate operations in South Louisiana and North Texas. In addition, aggregates segment operating profit in 2006 includes a gain of $24.0 million from the sale of real estate associated with our expanded shale and clay aggregate operations in south Texas.

Cement capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, incurred in connection with the expansion and modernization of our Oro Grande, California cement plant were $176.0 million in 2008, $208.4 million in 2007 and $73.2 million in 2006. In addition, cement capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, incurred in connection with the expansion of our Hunter, Texas cement plant were $71.6 million in 2008, $6.5 million in 2007 and $200,000 in 2006. Other capital expenditures incurred represent normal replacement and technological upgrades of existing equipment and acquisitions to sustain existing operations in each segment.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On July 29, 2005, we completed the spin-off of our steel segment in the form of a pro-rata, tax-free dividend to our shareholders of one share of Chaparral Steel Company (“Chaparral”) common stock for each share of our common stock that was owned on July 20, 2005. Following the spin-off, Chaparral became an independent, public company. We have no further ownership interest in Chaparral or in any steel business, and Chaparral has no ownership interest in us. In addition, Chaparral is not a guarantor of any of our indebtedness nor are we a guarantor of any Chaparral indebtedness. Our relationship with Chaparral is now governed by a separation and distribution agreement and the ancillary agreements described in that agreement. In accordance with the terms of these agreements, we recorded a charge to retained earnings of approximately $1.0 million during 2007.

As a consequence of the spin-off we recorded a charge of approximately $107.0 million related to the early retirement of the 10.25% Senior Notes and former credit facility and incurred $5.4 million in spin-off related charges during 2006.

Interest expense has been allocated to discontinued operations based on the amount of our consolidated debt attributable to the steel operations. The total amount of interest allocated was $5.4 million in 2006.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Texas Industries, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of May 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for each of the three years in the period ended May 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries at May 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended May 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” footnote to the consolidated financial statements, in fiscal year 2007 the Company changed its method of accounting for share-based compensation, certain pension and postretirement benefits and post-production mine stripping costs.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated July 10, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated, with the participation of our management, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on the evaluation, which disclosed no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal control over financial reporting that is designed to provide reasonable assurance, in a cost-effective manner, that financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, assets are safeguarded and transactions occur and are recorded in accordance with management’s authorization. Internal control systems over financial reporting have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect all material misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that the internal control objectives are met.

With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2008. The criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework were used by management in its assessment. Based on the assessment, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of May 31, 2008.

Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. It appears immediately following this report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Texas Industries, Inc.

We have audited Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2008, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of May 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for each of the three years in the period ended May 31, 2008, and our report dated July 10, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
