PART I
(a) General Development of Business
Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (unless the context indicates otherwise, collectively, the Registrant, the
Company or TXI), is a leading supplier of construction materials through two business segments: cement, aggregate and concrete products (the CAC segment); and structural steel and specialty bar products (the
Steel segment). Through the CAC segment, TXI produces and sells cement, stone, sand and gravel, expanded shale and clay aggregate and concrete products. Through its Steel segment, TXI produces and sells structural steel, piling products,
specialty bar products, merchant bar-quality rounds, reinforcing bar and channels. The Company is the largest producer of cement in Texas, a major cement producer in California and the second largest supplier of structural steel products in North
America. Demand for structural steel, cement, aggregate and concrete products is primarily driven by construction activity, while specialty bar products supply the original equipment manufacturers, tool and oil country goods markets.
Incorporated April 19, 1951, the Registrant began its cement operations in 1960 with the opening of its Midlothian, Texas
facility and added its steel operations in 1975 with the construction of a plant in Midlothian. TXI has derived significant benefits as a producer of both cement and steel, primarily in lowering production costs and enhancing productivity through
the innovative recycling of by-products of manufacturing.
On December 31, 1997, the Company acquired Riverside
Cement Company, the owner of a 1.3 million ton per year portland cement plant and a 100,000 ton per year specialty white cement plant. The acquisition increased TXIs cement capacity by 60% and opened the California regional cement market to
the Company. TXI completed the expansion of its Midlothian, Texas cement plant during the May 2001 quarter, increasing the plants productive capacity from 1.3 to 2.8 million tons per year. TXIs structural steel facility in Virginia began
operations during the August 1999 quarter, and after the start-up phase will expand TXIs steel capacity by approximately two-thirds. On December 31, 1997, the Company acquired the minority interest in its 85% owned subsidiary, Chaparral Steel
Company.
(b) Financial Information about Industry Segments
Financial information for the Registrants two industry segments, is presented in Part II, Item 7 Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages 11 and 12, incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Narrative Description of Business
CEMENT, AGGREGATE AND CONCRETE
The CAC business segment includes the manufacture and sale of cement, aggregates, ready-mix concrete, concrete block and brick. Production
and distribution facilities are concentrated primarily in Texas, Louisiana and California, with markets extending into contiguous states. In addition, TXI has certain patented and unpatented mining claims in southern California which contain
deposits of limestone. The Company does not place heavy reliance on patents, franchises, licenses or concessions related to its CAC operations.
Cement
TXIs cement operations produce portland
cement as its principal product. Also produced are specialty cements such as white, masonry and oil well.
Cement
production facilities are located at four 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 and Crestmore, California, both near Los
Angeles. Except for the Crestmore facility, the limestone reserves used as the primary raw material are located on fee-owned property adjacent to each of the plants. Raw material for the Crestmore facility is purchased from outside suppliers.

N/A |
The Company uses its patented CemStar process in both of its Texas
facilities and its Oro Grande, California facility to increase combined annual production by approximately 8%. The CemStar 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 which is then ground to make cement. The primary fuel source for all of the Companys facilities is coal; however, the Company displaces approximately 35% of its coal needs at its Midlothian
plant and approximately 10% of its coal needs at its Hunter plant by utilizing alternative fuels. The Companys facilities also consume large amounts of electricity obtained primarily under fixed-price firm supply contracts of short duration.
The Company believes that adequate supplies of both fuel and electricity are readily available.
The Company
produced approximately 4.7 million tons of finished cement in 2002, 4.1 million tons in 2001 and 3.6 million tons in 2000. Total annual shipments of finished cement were approximately 4.9 million tons in 2002, 4.6 million tons in 2001 and 4.1
million tons in 2000 of which 3.9 million tons in 2002, 3.5 million tons in 2001 and 3.1 million tons in 2000 were shipped to outside trade customers.
The Company markets its cement products throughout the southwestern United States. The principal marketing area includes the states of Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah.
Sales offices are maintained throughout the marketing area and sales are made primarily to numerous customers in the construction industry, no one of which accounted for more than ten percent of the trade sales volume in 2002.
Cement is distributed by rail or truck to eight distribution terminals located throughout the marketing area.
The cement industry is highly competitive with suppliers differentiating themselves based on price, service and quality.
Aggregate, Concrete and Other Products
TXIs aggregate operations, which include sand, gravel, crushed limestone and expanded shale and clay, is conducted from facilities primarily serving the Dallas/Fort
Worth, Austin and Houston areas in Texas; the Alexandria, New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Monroe areas in Louisiana; the Oakland/San Francisco and Los Angeles areas in California; and the Denver area in Colorado. The following table summarizes certain

Reserves identified with the facilities shown above and additional reserves
available to support future plant sites are contained on approximately 59,000 acres of land, of which approximately 41,000 acres are owned in fee and the remainder leased. The expanded shale and clay plants operated at 90 percent of practical
capacity for 2002 with sales of approximately 1.7 million cubic yards. Production for the remaining aggregate facilities was 96 percent of practical capacity and sales for the year totaled 21.0 million tons, of which approximately 15.7 million tons
were shipped to outside trade customers. In addition, the Registrant owns and operates three industrial sand plants and an aggregate blending facility.
The cost of transportation limits the marketing of these various aggregates to the areas relatively close to the plant sites. Consequently, sales of these products are related to the level of
construction activity near these plants. These products are marketed by the Companys 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 the
Companys business. The distribution of these products is provided to trade customers principally by contract or customer-owned haulers, and a limited amount of these products is distributed by rail for affiliated usage.
The Companys 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:

The plants listed above are located on sites owned or leased by the
Company. TXI manufactures and supplies a substantial amount of the cement and aggregates used by the ready-mix plants with the remainder being 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 the Companys business.
The major concrete
products manufactured and marketed by the Company are summarized below:

The plant or distribution sites in the above locations are owned by
the Company. The products are marketed by the Companys sales force in each of these locations, and are primarily delivered by trucks owned by the Company. Because the cost of delivery is significant to the overall cost of most of these
products, the market area is generally restricted to within approximately one hundred miles of the plant locations. These products are sold to various contractors, owners and distributors, no one of which would be considered significant to the
Companys business.
In most of TXIs principal markets for concrete products, the Company competes
vigorously with at least three other vertically integrated concrete companies. The Company believes that it is a significant participant in each of the Texas and Louisiana concrete products markets. The principal methods of competition in concrete
products markets are quality and service at competitive prices.

STEEL
TXIs steel facilities, located in Midlothian, Texas and Dinwiddie County, Virginia, follow a market mill concept which entails the low cost production of a broader array of steel products than a
traditional mini-mill. TXI uses its patented near net shape casting technology at both facilities. The process provides energy and capital cost savings in the making of wide flange beams and other structural steel products. The Texas facility has
two electric arc furnaces with continuous casters that feed melted steel to a bar mill, a structural mill and a large beam mill. Finished (rolled) products produced include beams up to twenty-four inches wide, merchant bar-quality rounds, special
bar quality rounds, reinforcing bar and channels. The Virginia facility has one electric arc furnace and in-line processing units consisting of two near net shape casters and a sophisticated rolling mill. Finished products produced include beams up
to thirty-six inches wide, sheet piling, H-piling and channels.

The bar and structural mills produced approximately 1.9 million
tons of finished products in 2002, 1.7 million tons in 2001 and 1.7 million tons in 2000.
The principal raw
material is recycled steel. Shredded steel represents approximately 40% of the raw material mix. A major portion of the shredded steel requirements of the Texas facility is produced by an on-site shredder operation utilizing primarily crushed auto
bodies purchased on the open market. The Company purchases shredded steel on the open market to meet the requirements of the Virginia facility. Another grade of recycled steel, #1 Heavy, representing approximately 30% of the raw material mix is also
purchased on the open market. The purchase price of recycled steel is subject to market forces largely beyond the Companys control. The supply of recycled steel is expected to be adequate to meet future requirements.
The steel mills consume large amounts of electricity and natural gas. Electricity for the Texas facility is obtained from a local utility
under fixed-price firm supply contracts typically of short duration. Electricity for the Virginia facility is obtained from a local utility under an interruptible supply contract with price adjustments that reflect increases or decreases in the
utilitys fuel costs. Natural gas is obtained from local gas utilities under supply contracts. The Company believes that adequate supplies of both electricity and natural gas are readily available.
The Companys steel products are marketed throughout the United States and to a limited extent in Canada and Mexico. Sales are
primarily to steel service centers and steel fabricators for use in the construction industry, as well as, to cold finishers, forgers and original equipment manufacturers for use in the railroad, defense, automotive, mobile home and energy
industries. The Company does not place heavy reliance on franchises, licenses or concessions. None of TXIs customers accounted for more than ten percent of the Steel segments sales in 2002. Sales to affiliates are minimal. Orders are
generally filled within 45 days and are cancelable. Delivery of finished products is accomplished by common-carrier, customer-owned trucks, rail or barge.
The Company competes with steel producers, including foreign producers, on the basis of price, quality and service. Certain of the foreign and domestic competitors, including both large integrated
steel producers and mini-mills, have substantially greater assets and larger sales organizations than TXI. Intense sales competition exists for substantially all of the Steel segments products.

RISKS RELATING TO THE COMPANY
Competition
All of the
markets in which the Company participates are highly competitive. The Company competes in each of its cement, aggregate and concrete products markets with several other domestic suppliers of these products as well as with importers of foreign
cement. The Company competes in its steel markets with national and international producers of steel products. Some of the Companys competitors are larger, have greater financial resources and have less financial leverage than the Company. The
Company competes on the basis of, among other things, competitive prices, prompt availability, customer service and quality products.
Sensitivity to Economic Cycles; Seasonality and Weather
A significant percentage
of the Companys sales of both CAC and Steel products is attributable to the level of construction activity, which is affected by such cyclical factors as general economic conditions, interest rates, inflation, consumer spending habits and
employment. The Companys CAC operating profit is generally lower in its fiscal quarter ended February 28 as compared to the other three fiscal quarters due to the impact of winter weather on construction activity. Extended periods of inclement
weather can adversely impact construction activity at other times of the year as well. Steel results are also affected by the Companys shut-downs scheduled every twelve to twenty-four months to refurbish its steel production facilities.
Growth Strategy
A significant element of the Companys operating strategy is to pursue strategic acquisitions that either expand or complement the Companys products or markets or to build new or expand
existing production facilities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify and make acquisitions on acceptable terms, that the Company will be able to obtain the permits necessary to build new or expand existing production
facilities, that the Company will be able to obtain financing for such acquisitions or expansions on acceptable terms or that the Company will be able successfully to integrate such acquisitions into existing operations.
Availability and Pricing of Raw Materials
The Company is dependent upon purchased scrap steel as a raw material and upon energy sources, including electricity and fossil fuels. Accordingly, the Companys results of operations and
financial condition have in the past been, and may again in the future be adversely affected by increases in raw material costs or energy costs, or their lack of availability.
Status of Certain Tariffs
A
group of domestic cement producers, including the Company, filed antidumping petitions which have resulted in the imposition of significant antidumping duty cash deposits on grey portland cement and clinker imported from Mexico and Japan. In
addition, the U.S. Department of Commerce has signed agreements with the Venezuelan Government and Venezuelan cement producers, which are designed to eliminate the dumping and illegal subsidization of grey portland cement and clinker from Venezuela.
On an annual basis, the antidumping duties are subject to review by the Department of Commerce to determine whether the current antidumping duty deposit rates should be adjusted upward or downward.
In 1995, the Antidumping Code of General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade was substantially altered pursuant to the Uruguay Round of
multilateral trade negotiations. U.S. legislation approving and implementing the Uruguay Round agreements requires the Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) to conduct sunset reviews of all
outstanding antidumping and countervailing duty orders and suspension agreements, including the antidumping orders against grey portland cement and clinker from Mexico and Japan and the suspension agreements on grey portland cement and clinker from
Venezuela, to determine whether they should be terminated or remain in effect. In 2000, the Department of Commerce and the ITC conducted sunset reviews of the antidumping orders and suspension agreements and determined that they should
remain in effect for another five years.
5
In July 1999, complaints were filed with the ITC and the U.S. Department of
Commerce by the Company, Northwestern Steel & Wire Co., Nucor-Yamato Steel Co. and the United Steelworkers of America seeking to impose antidumping and countervailing duties against imports of structural steel beams from Germany, Japan, South
Korea and Spain. In June and July 2000, the ITC made respective determinations that an industry in the United States is materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of such imports from Japan and Korea that the Department of
Commerce has determined are subsidized and sold in the United States at less than fair value. As a result of the ITCs affirmative determinations, the Department of Commerce directed the U.S. Customs Service to impose countervailing and
antidumping duties on imports of certain structural steel beams from these two countries. However, imports of structural steel beams from other countries increased significantly and the Committee for Fair Beam Imports (composed of Northwestern Steel
& Wire Co., Nucor Corp., Nucor-Yamato Steel Co. and the Company) again petitioned the ITC and the U. S. Department of Commerce concerning imports of certain structural steel beams from China, Germany, Luxembourg, Russia, South Africa, Spain and
Taiwan. On June 17, 2002, the ITC determined that, although the Department of Commerce had determined that these imports were being sold in the United States at less than fair value, such imports did not materially injure or threaten with material
injury an industry in the United States.
Impact of Environmental Laws
The operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various federal and state environmental laws and regulations
(Environmental Laws or Laws). Under these Laws, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and agencies of state government have the authority to promulgate regulations which could result in substantial
expenditures for pollution control and solid waste treatment and disposal. Three major areas regulated by these authorities are air quality, waste management and water quality.
Emissions sources at the Companys facilities are regulated by a combination of permit limitations and emission standards of statewide application, and the Company
believes that it is in substantial compliance with its permit limitations and laws and regulations applicable to its existing facilities. There can be no assurance, however, that future changes in permit limitations and emission standards will not
adversely affect the Companys ability to build new or expand existing production facilities.
Many of the
raw materials, products and by-products associated with the operation of any industrial facility, including those for the production of steel, cement or concrete products, contain chemical elements or compounds that can be designated as hazardous
substances. Such raw materials, products and by-products may also exhibit characteristics that result in their being classified as a hazardous substance or waste. Some examples are the metals present in cement kiln dust (CKD),
electric-arc furnace dust (EAF dust) generated by the Companys steel facilities and the ignitability of the waste derived fuels which the Company uses as a primary or supplementary fuel substitute for nonrenewable coal and natural
gas to fire its cement kilns.
Currently, CKD is exempt from hazardous waste management
standards under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) if certain tests are satisfied. TXI has demonstrated that the CKD it generates satisfies these tests. However, the EPA plans to apply site-specific waste-management
standards to CKD under the Clean Air Act and RCRA to assure that the environment is protected. The Company has established operating practices and is implementing waste management programs which it believes will comply with these anticipated
standards, but there can be no assurances that such practices and programs will continue to comply in the future if regulations become more restrictive.
The Company utilizes hazardous materials such as gasoline, acids, solvents and chemicals as well as the materials that have been designated or characterized as hazardous waste by the
EPA, which the Company utilizes for energy recovery. This necessitates the Company familiarize its work force with the more 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 the Companys hazardous waste management permits and, under certain circumstances, expose the Company to significant liabilities and costs of
cleaning up releases of hazardous substances into the environment or claims by employees or others alleging exposure to hazardous substances.
The Companys steel facilities generate, in the same manner as other similar steel plants in the industry, EAF dust that contains lead, chromium and cadmium. The EPA has listed
this EAF dust, which is collected in baghouses, as hazardous waste. The Company has contracts with reclamation facilities in the United States and Mexico pursuant to which such facilities receive the EAF dust generated by the Company and recover the
metals from the dust for reuse, thus rendering the dust non-hazardous. In addition, the Company is continually investigating alternative reclamation technologies and has implemented processes for diminishing the amount of EAF dust generated.
6
The Company intends to comply with all legal requirements regarding the
environment, but since many of these requirements are subjective and therefore not quantifiable, 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 effect on the Companys operations, future net income or financial condition. Notwithstanding such compliance, if damage to persons or property or contamination of the environment has
been or is caused by the conduct of the Companys business or hazardous substances or wastes used in, generated or disposed of by the Company, the Company may be liable for such damages and be required to pay the cost of investigation and
remediation of such contamination. The amount of such liability could be material and there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur material liability in connection with possible claims related to the Companys operations and
properties under Environmental Laws.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
GENERAL
The Company is a leading supplier of construction materials through two business
segments: cement, aggregate and concrete products (the CAC segment); and structural steel and specialty bar products (the Steel segment). Through the CAC segment, the Company produces and sells cement, stone, sand and gravel,
expanded shale and clay aggregate and concrete products. Through its Steel segment, the Company produces and sells structural steel, piling products, specialty bar products, merchant bar-quality rounds, reinforcing bar and channels.
The Companys CAC facilities are concentrated primarily in Texas, Louisiana and California, with several products marketed
throughout the United States. The Company owns long-term reserves of limestone, the primary raw material for the production of cement. TXIs expansion of its Midlothian, Texas cement plant was completed during the May 2001 quarter, increasing
the plants productive capacity from 1.3 to 2.8 million tons per year.
The Companys steel facilities
follow a market mill concept which entails producing a wide variety of products utilizing recycled steel obtained from crushed automobiles and other sources as its principal raw material. Steel products, sold principally to steel service centers,
fabricators, cold finishers, forgers and original equipment manufacturers, are distributed primarily to markets in North America.
Both the CAC and Steel businesses require large amounts of capital investment, energy, labor and maintenance.
Corporate resources include administration, financial, legal, environmental, human resources and real estate activities which are not allocated to operations and are excluded from operating profit.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operating ProfitFiscal 2002 Compared to Fiscal 2001
Operating profit at $150.6 million increased 34% from 2001. CAC profit declined $15.5 million on reduced cement margins and lower other income. Steel operating profit excluding pre-tax income from the
Companys litigation against certain graphite electrode suppliers improved $44.7 million over the prior year on increased shipments and improved margins. In June 2002, the U.S. International Trade Commission failed to impose anti-dumping
protection for certain future steel beams imported into the U.S. During the months of May and June 2002 the Euro strengthened 9.6% in relation to the U.S. dollar. Both of these factors suggest uncertainty as to the level of future European steel
beam sales into the U.S.
Net Sales. Consolidated net sales at $1,344.9 million,
increased $92.7 million from 2001. CAC net sales at $708.6 million were 5% above the prior year as demand for building materials in the Companys CAC markets remained solid. Total cement sales increased $23.3 million on 7% higher shipments.
Average trade prices were comparable to the prior year. Ready-mix sales declined $3.7 million on somewhat lower volume and average prices. Aggregate sales increased $3.4 million on somewhat higher volumes and average prices. Wet weather in the
Companys Texas markets limited ready-mix and aggregate shipments in the May 2002 quarter. Ready-mix volume declined 15% and aggregate shipments declined 17% from the prior year quarter.
Steel sales at $636.3 million were 11% above the prior year. Reduced imports improved the Companys market share. Structural steel
sales increased $49.3 million on 16% higher shipments. Average realized prices, although 5% lower than the prior year, have increased 9% from the May 2001 quarter. Bar sales increased 9% for the year on 18% higher shipments at 8% lower realized
prices.
Operating Costs. Consolidated cost of products sold including depreciation,
depletion and amortization was $1,134.2 million, an increase of $52.2 million from 2001. CAC costs were $542.9 million, an increase of $36.0 million as a result of increased cement shipments and aggregate production and the impact of higher cement
plant maintenance costs. Steel costs were $591.3 million, an increase of $16.2 million. Higher shipments increased costs $91.1 million offset by lower unit production costs due to improving efficiencies at the Virginia plant and lower scrap costs.
CAC selling, general and administrative expense including depreciation and amortization at $48.7 million
decreased $4.1 million primarily due to lower incentive compensation and insurance expense offset in part by a $4.4 million increase in bad debt expense. Steel expense increased $2.8 million primarily due to a $4.1 million increase in bad debt
expense offset by lower administrative and general expenses.
CAC other income includes routine sales of surplus
operating assets which decreased $14.3 million from the prior year. Steel other income includes $9.6 million from the Companys litigation against certain graphite electrode suppliers.
Operating ProfitFiscal 2001 compared to Fiscal 2000
Operating profit at $112.2 million decreased 39% from 2000. CAC profits declined $35.0 million. Lower realized prices and higher energy costs reduced margins. Steel operating profit declined $37.8
million. The impact of imports and growth in customer inventories on sales and higher energy costs reduced margins. Higher unit costs in the May 2001 quarter due to lower production to reduce inventories further reduced margins.
Net Sales. Consolidated net sales at $1,252.2 million, declined $54.2 million from 2000. CAC net
sales at $678.0 million were comparable to the prior year. Demand remained solid for building materials in the Companys CAC markets. Total cement sales increased $14.1 million on 11% higher shipments. Average trade prices, which declined 6%
from the prior year due to the impact of imports on supply, stabilized in the May 2001 quarter. Ready-mix sales declined $28.2 million on 6% lower volumes at 5% lower average prices. With the return to more normal weather conditions, volumes in the
May 2001 quarter were up 5% from the prior year quarter. Aggregate sales increased $8.0 million on 6% higher shipments.

Steel sales at $574.2 million were $52.4 million below the prior year.
Competition from imports and higher levels of customer inventories resulted in a decline in both shipments and prices of structural products. Structural steel shipments were 13% below the prior year. Although average realized prices for the year
were up 3%, prices which had been increasing during the prior year peaked in the August 2000 quarter. Since the August quarter, prices declined 21%. Bar sales declined 5% for the year on 2% lower shipments and 3% lower realized prices.
Operating Costs. Consolidated cost of products sold including depreciation, depletion and
amortization was $1,082.0 million, an increase of $17.5 million from 2000. CAC costs were $506.9 million, an increase of $40.9 million as a result of increased cement shipments and aggregate production and the impact of higher energy costs on unit
costs. Steel costs were $575.1 million, a decrease of $23.4 million. Lower shipments reduced costs $56.3 million offset by higher unit production costs resulting from increased energy costs and lower production levels.
CAC selling, general and administrative expense including depreciation and amortization at $52.8 million increased $5.3 million primarily
due to additional administrative expenses attributed to operations offset somewhat by $2.5 million lower incentive compensation. CAC other income increased due to gains from the disposal of surplus real estate amounting to $14.0 million in 2001.
Steel expenses at $24.9 million decreased $500,000 due to $800,000 lower incentive compensation offset by increased selling costs. Steel other income in the prior year included $6.3 million from the Companys litigation against certain graphite
electrode suppliers.
Corporate Resources
Selling, general and administrative expenses including depreciation and amortization at $32.8 million in 2002 decreased $400,000. This reflects a decrease of $3.4 million
in costs associated with the Companys agreement to sell receivables offset by higher administrative and general expenses. Other income in 2002 increased $1.8 million primarily due to $2.7 million higher real estate income offset by lower
investment income.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2001 decreased $7.6 million as the increased
administrative expense attributed to operations and $3.9 million lower incentive accruals were offset in part by a $1.4 million increase in costs associated with the Companys agreement to sell receivables. Other income in 2001 increased $3.0
million primarily due to higher real estate income.
Interest Expense
Interest expense at $42.7 million in 2002, increased $5.6 million. This reflects a $10.0 million decrease in interest incurred as a result
of lower average outstanding debt at lower interest rates offset by a $15.6 million decrease in interest capitalized. With the completion of the Companys major plant expansions no interest was capitalized in 2002.
Interest expense in 2001 increased $4.3 million from the prior year due to a $7.2 million increase in interest incurred as a result of
higher average outstanding debt offset by a $2.9 million increase in interest capitalized.
Income Taxes
The Companys effective tax rate was 29.3% in 2002, 30.2% in 2001 and 32.8% in 2000. The primary reason
that the current tax rate differs from the 35% statutory corporate rate is due to percentage depletion that is tax deductible and state income tax expense.
Dividends on Preferred SecuritiesNet of Tax
Dividends on preferred securities of subsidiary net of tax benefit amounted to $7.2 million in each of the three years in the period ending 2002.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Changes in the facts and circumstances could have a significant impact on the resulting financial statements. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more complex
judgments and estimates.
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 the Companys 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 the Companys products, capital needs, economic trends and other factors.
Environmental Liabilities. The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations established by
federal, state and local authorities, and makes provision for the estimated costs related to compliance when it is probable that a reasonably estimable liability has been incurred.
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 customers financial condition. If the Company is aware of a specific customers inability to make required payments, specific amounts are added
to the reserve.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Companys sources of liquidity, in addition to cash from operations, include a credit facility and an agreement to sell trade accounts receivable.
The Company has available a revolving credit facility which expires in March 2004. As provided by the terms of agreement, the
Company has elected to reduce the borrowing capacity of the facility from $450 million to $350 million effective August 2, 2002. At May 31, 2002, $90.0 million was outstanding under the facility and an additional $111.4 million had been utilized to
support letters of credit. The Companys total debt, including debt under the facility, is limited based on the ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. At May 31, 2002, $181.0 million of additional debt
could have been incurred.
The Companys agreement to sell on a revolving basis an interest in a defined pool
of trade accounts receivable of up to $125 million is subject to annual renewal. At May 31, 2002, the entire amount available under this agreement had been sold.
Cash from operations funded debt reductions of $139.3 million and capital expenditures of $29.7 million. The long-term debt to total capitalization ratio was reduced from 40.2% to 33.0%.
The Company generally finances its major capital expansion projects with cash from operations and long-term borrowing.
Maintenance capital expenditures and working capital are funded by cash from operations. In addition, the Company leases certain mobile and other equipment used in its operations under operating leases which in the normal course of business are
renewed or replaced by other leases.

Future payments under leases exclude mineral rights which are
insignificant and are generally required only for products produced. Outstanding letters of credit generally only collateralize payment of recorded liabilities.
The Company expects cash from operations, borrowings under its current or similar revolving credit facility and its agreement to sell trade accounts receivable to be sufficient to provide funds for
capital expenditure commitments, scheduled debt repayments and working capital needs.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operations was $171.0 million in 2002, compared to $151.2 million in the prior year.
Increased net income and deferred taxes were offset in part by changes in working capital items. Higher Steel shipments increased receivables $8.6 million. CAC receivables declined $14.1 million and raw material and supply inventories grew $7.1
million as wet weather in the Companys Texas markets reduced ready-mix and aggregate sales in the May 2002 quarter. Collection of tax refund claims reduced receivables $14.2 million. Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $24.1
million due primarily to lower trade accounts payable. Deferred taxes include a $15.3 million alternative minimum tax credit carryforward that is available for offset against future regular income taxes.
Net cash used by investing activities was $29.5 million in 2002, compared to $125.1 million in the prior year, consisting principally of
capital expenditure items. Capital expenditures for normal replacement and technological upgrades of existing equipment and expansions of the Companys operations excluding major plant expansions were $29.7 million, down $59.0 million from
2001. The fiscal year 2003 capital expenditure budget is estimated currently at approximately $75 million. In 2001, $48.3 million was incurred in completing the expansion of the Companys Midlothian, Texas cement plant.
Net cash used by financing activities was $142.7 million in 2002, compared to $24.3 million in the prior year. Long-term debt was reduced
$139.3 million. In 2001, the Company purchased, at a cost of $7.8 million, approximately 339,000 shares of its Common Stock for general corporate purposes. The Companys quarterly cash dividend at $.075 per common share remained unchanged from
the prior year.
OTHER ITEMS
Litigation
In November 1998, Chaparral Steel Company, a
wholly owned subsidiary, filed an action in the District Court of Ellis County, Texas against certain graphite electrode suppliers seeking damages for illegal restraints of trade in the sale of graphite electrodes. The Company has obtained
settlements from the major producers of graphite electrodes named in the action.
16
Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other matters, air emissions,
furnace dust disposal and wastewater discharge. The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, however, from time to time the Company receives claims from federal and state environmental
regulatory agencies and entities asserting that the Company is or may be in violation of certain environmental laws and regulations. Based on its experience and the information currently available to it, the Company believes that such claims will
not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations. Despite the Companys compliance and experience, it is possible that the Company 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 the Company.
Market Risk
The Company does not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Because of the short duration of the Companys investments, changes in market interest rates would not have a
significant impact on their fair value. The current fair value of the Companys long-term debt, including current maturities, does not exceed its carrying value. Market risk, when estimated as the potential increase in fair value resulting from
a hypothetical 10% decrease in the Companys weighted average long-term borrowing rate, would not have a significant impact on the carrying value of long-term debt.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Effective June 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which establishes a comprehensive standard for the recognition
and measurement of derivatives and hedging activities. Due to the Companys limited use of derivatives, the impact was not material.
Effective June 1, 2002, the Company will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Its adoption is not expected to have an
immediate effect on the financial statements of the Company.
Effective June 1, 2003, the Company will adopt
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which establishes standards for accounting for legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets. Its adoption is not
expected to have an immediate effect on the financial statements of the Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
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, 2002 and 2001, the business segment information on pages 11 through 12 of the Annual Report
on Form 10-K and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended May 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 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, 2002 and 2001, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended May 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
As discussed in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies footnote to the consolidated financial statements, in fiscal
year 2002 the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Texas Industries, Inc. (TXI or
the Company) is a leading supplier of construction materials through two business segments: cement, aggregate and concrete products (the CAC segment); and structural steel and specialty bar products (the Steel
segment). Through the CAC segment, the Company produces and sells cement, stone, sand and gravel, expanded shale and clay aggregate and concrete products from facilities concentrated in Texas, Louisiana, and California, with several products
marketed throughout the United States. Through its Steel segment, the Company produces and sells structural steel, piling products, specialty bar products, merchant bar-quality rounds, reinforcing bar and channels for markets in North America.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries. 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, 2002 approximates its carrying value except for long-term debt having fixed interest rates and mandatorily redeemable preferred
securities of subsidiary. The fair value of long-term debt at May 31, 2002, estimated by applying discounted cash flow analysis based on interest rates currently available to the Company for such debt with similar terms and remaining maturities, is
approximately $461.1 million compared to the carrying amount of $484.2 million. The fair value of mandatorily redeemable preferred securities of subsidiary at May 31, 2002, estimated based on NYSE quoted market prices, is approximately $151.0
million compared to the carrying amount of $200.0 million.
Cash
Equivalents. For cash flow purposes, temporary investments which have maturities of less than 90 days when purchased are considered cash equivalents.
Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. 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 the Companys primary operating facilities range from 10 to 20 years.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Costs incurred for scheduled shut-downs to refurbish the Steel facilities are amortized over the production period, typically 12 to 24 months.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Effective June 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, (SFAS No. 142) which requires that goodwill not be amortized but instead be tested for impairment annually by each reporting unit. Goodwill identified with
CAC resulted from the acquisition of Riverside Cement Company. Goodwill identified with Steel resulted from the acquisition of Chaparral Steel Company. Settlement of claims relating to the acquisition of the minority interest in Chaparral resulted
in $3.4 million of additional goodwill in 2002. An independent evaluation determined that in each case the fair value of the respective reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. The carrying value of goodwill by business segment is summarized as
follows:

Deferred charges and intangibles include non-compete agreements and
other intangibles with finite lives being amortized in accordance with SFAS No. 142 on a straight-line basis over periods of 5 to 15 years. Their carrying value, adjusted for write-offs, totaled $3.5 million at May 31, 2002 and $4.6 million at May
31, 2001, net of accumulated amortization of $5.1 million at May 31, 2002 and $5.4 million at May 31, 2001. Amortization expense incurred was $1.2 million in 2002, $1.3 million in 2001 and $1.4 million in 2000. Estimated annual amortization for each
of the five succeeding years is $900,000, $400,000, $400,000, $300,000 and $300,000.
Real Estate and
Investments. Surplus real estate and real estate acquired for development of high quality industrial, office and multi-use parks totaled $14.3 million and $15.9 million at May 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Investments,
composed primarily of life insurance contracts which may be used to fund certain Company benefit agreements, totaled $27.2 million and $23.8 million at May 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Debt Issuance Cost. Debt issuance costs of $9.9 million and $11.4 million at May 31, 2002 and 2001,respectively, are associated with
various debt issues and amortized over the terms of the related debt.
Other
Credits. Other credits of $32.1 million at May 31, 2002, compared to $31.3 million at the prior year-end, are composed primarily of liabilities related to the Companys retirement plans and deferred compensation
agreements.

Other Income. Other income includes
routine sales of surplus operating assets and real estate in the amount of $8.6 million in 2002, $19.6 million in 2001 and $4.1 million in 2000. Also included in other income was $9.6 million in 2002, $400,000 in 2001 and $6.3 million in 2000 from
the Companys litigation against certain graphite electrode suppliers.
Income
Taxes. Accounting for income taxes uses the liability method of recognizing and classifying deferred income taxes. The 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.
25
Earnings Per Share (EPS). Basic EPS is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period including certain contingently issuable shares. Diluted EPS adjusts net income for the net dividends on preferred securities of subsidiary
and the outstanding shares for the dilutive effect of preferred securities, stock options and awards. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, net income was adjusted for the amortization of additional goodwill in connection with a contingent payment
for the acquisition of Chaparral.
Basic and Diluted EPS are calculated as follows:

The Company has an agreement to sell, on a
revolving basis, an interest in a defined pool of trade receivables of up to $125 million. The agreement is subject to annual renewal. The maximum amount outstanding varies based upon the level of eligible receivables. Fees are variable and follow
commercial paper rates. The interest sold totaled $125 million at both May 31, 2002 and 2001. Sales are reflected as reductions of accounts receivable and as operating cash flows. As collections reduce previously sold interests, new accounts
receivable are customarily sold. Fees and expenses of $4.2 million, $7.6 million and $6.2 million are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company, as agent for the purchaser, retains
collection and administration responsibilities for the participating interests of the defined pool.

Annual maturities of long-term debt for each of the five succeeding
years are $9.2, $144.2, $41.2, $45.9 and $40.9 million.
The Company has available a bank-financed long-term
revolving credit facility. As provided by the terms of the agreement, the Company has elected to reduce the borrowing capacity of the facility from $450 million to $350 million effective August 2, 2002. Commitment fees at a current annual rate of
..375% are paid on the unused portion of the facility. An interest rate at the applicable margin above either prime or LIBOR is selected at the time of each borrowing. At May 31, 2002, $90.0 million was outstanding under the facility. In addition,
$111.4 million was utilized to support letters of credit issued primarily to secure the Companys variable-rate industrial development revenue bonds which allows the interest rates on these bonds to closely follow the tax-exempt commercial
paper rates.
Loan agreements contain covenants that provide for restrictions on the payment of dividends on
common stock and place limitations on incurring certain indebtedness, purchasing treasury stock, and making capital expenditures and certain investments. Under the most restrictive of these agreements, the Companys total debt is limited based
on the ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). At May 31, 2002, $181.0 million of additional debt could have been incurred. In addition, the aggregate amount of annual fixed charges which
includes cash dividends on common stock is limited based on the ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges. At May 31, 2002, $44.2 million of additional fixed charges could have been incurred. The Company is in compliance with all loan covenant restrictions.
The amount of interest paid was $43.6 million in 2002, $50.9 million in 2001 and $40.6 million in 2000. No
interest was capitalized in 2002. Interest capitalized in 2001 and 2000 totaled $15.6 million and $12.7 million, respectively.
OPERATING LEASES
The Company leases certain mobile and other equipment, office space and
other items which in the normal course of business are renewed or replaced by other leases. Total expense for such operating leases (other than for mineral rights) amounted to $29.0 million in 2002, $32.0 million in 2001 and $24.3 million in 2000.
Non-cancelable operating leases with an initial or remaining term of more than one year including leases for which delivery of equipment is pending totaled $76.8 million at May 31, 2002. Estimated annual lease payments for the five succeeding years
are $24.4 million, $10.5 million, $10.6 million, $6.4 million and $4.2 million.

PREFERRED SECURITIES OF SUBSIDIARY
On June 5, 1998, TXI Capital Trust I (the Trust), a Delaware business trust wholly owned by the Company, 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 the Company of the common securities of the Trust were
invested by the Trust in $206.2 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% convertible subordinated debentures due June 30, 2028 (the Debentures) issued by the Company. The Debentures are the sole assets of the Trust.
Holders of the Preferred Securities are entitled to receive cumulative cash distributions at an annual rate of $2.75 per
Preferred Security (equivalent to a rate of 5.5% per annum of the stated liquidation amount of $50 per Preferred Security). The Company has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, distributions and other payments due on the Preferred Securities, to the
extent the Trust has funds available therefor and subject to certain other limitations (the Guarantee). The Guarantee, when taken together with the obligations of the Company under the Debentures, the Indenture pursuant to which the
Debentures were issued, and the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement of the Trust (including its obligations to pay costs, fees, expenses, debts and other obligations of the Trust [other than with respect to the Preferred Securities and the common
securities of the Trust]), provide a full and unconditional guarantee of amounts due on the Preferred Securities.
The Debentures are redeemable for cash, at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, under certain circumstances relating to federal income tax matters or in whole or in part at the option of the Company. Upon any redemption of the
Debentures, a like aggregate liquidation amount of Preferred Securities will be redeemed. The Preferred Securities do not have a stated maturity date, although they are subject to mandatory redemption upon maturity of the Debentures on June 30,
2028, or upon earlier redemption.
Each Preferred Security is convertible at any time prior to the close of
business on June 30, 2028, at the option of the holder into shares of the Companys common stock at a conversion rate of .72218 shares of the Companys common stock for each Preferred Security (equivalent to a conversion price of $69.235
per share of TXI Common Stock).

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. Pursuant to a Rights Agreement, in November 1996, the Company distributed a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of the Companys Common Stock.
Each right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one two-thousandth of a share of the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a price of $122.50, subject to adjustment. The rights will expire on November 1, 2006 unless the date
is extended or the rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company pursuant to the Rights Agreement.

STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Companys stock option plan as approved by shareholders provides that non-qualified and incentive stock options to purchase Common Stock may be granted to
directors, officers and key employees at market prices at date of grant. Outstanding options become exercisable in installments beginning one year after date of grant and expire ten years later. The Company has elected to continue utilizing the
accounting prescribed by APB No. 25 for stock issued under this plan. If compensation cost had been recognized based on the fair value at the date of grant consistent with the method prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), the Companys net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:

LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws
and regulations concerning, among other matters, air emissions, furnace dust disposal and wastewater discharge. The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, however, from time to time the
Company receives claims from federal and state environmental regulatory agencies and entities asserting that the Company is or may be in violation of certain environmental laws and regulations. Based on its experience and the information currently
available to it, the Company believes that such claims will not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations. Despite the Companys compliance and experience, it is possible that the Company 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 the
Company.
The Company and subsidiaries are defendants in lawsuits which arose in the normal course of business. In
managements judgment (based on the opinion of counsel) the ultimate liability, if any, from such legal proceedings will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.
In November 1998, Chaparral Steel Company, a wholly owned subsidiary, filed an action in the District Court of Ellis County,
Texas against certain graphite electrode suppliers seeking damages for illegal restraints of trade in the sale of graphite electrodes. The Company has obtained settlements from the major producers of graphite electrodes named in the action.
RETIREMENT PLANS
Substantially all employees of the Company are covered by a series of defined contribution retirement plans. The amount of pension expense charged to costs and expenses for the above plans was $6.2 million in 2002, $5.5
million in 2001 and $3.2 million in 2000. It is the Companys policy to fund the plans to the extent of charges to income.
Certain employees and retirees of an acquired subsidiary are covered by defined retirement and postretirement health benefit plans. The plan assets approximate the plan benefit obligations. The postretirement liability for these
plans was $8.1 million at May 31, 2002. The amount of pension expense charged to costs and expenses was $1.5 million in 2002, $1.2 million in 2001 and $1.1 million in 2000. Payments under these plans amounted to $2.2 million in 2002, $1.4 million in
2001 and $200,000 in 2000.
32
INCENTIVE PLANS
All personnel employed as of May 31 share in the pretax income of the Company 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 Companys Board of Directors. The expense included in selling, general and administrative was $3.5 million, $7.2
million and $13.6 million for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Certain executives of Chaparral participate in a
deferred compensation plan based on a five-year average of earnings. No expense was incurred in 2002. Amounts recorded as reductions to prior year accruals under the plan were $1.8 million in 2001 and $1.0 million in 2000.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company has two reportable segments: cement, aggregate and concrete products (the CAC segment) and steel (the Steel segment). The Companys reportable segments are strategic business units that offer
different products and services. They are managed separately because of significant differences in manufacturing processes, distribution and markets served. Through the CAC segment the Company produces and sells cement, stone, sand and gravel,
expanded shale and clay aggregate and concrete products. Through its Steel segment, the Company produces and sells structural steel, piling products, specialty bar products, merchant bar-quality rounds, reinforcing bar and channels. Operating profit
is net sales less operating costs and expenses, excluding general corporate expenses and interest expense. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets that are used in the Companys operation in each segment. Corporate assets consist
primarily of cash, real estate and other financial assets not identified with a major business segment. Operating results and certain other financial data for the Companys business segments are presented on pages 11 and 12 under Business
Segments of Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and are incorporated herein by reference.
