1997 and the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the year
ended December 31, 1996 and the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 give
effect to the sale of substantially all of the assets of Corson Lime Company, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, giving effect to the transaction as
if it had occurred on the dates indicated and by applying the assumptions and

The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by
the Registrant's management based upon the Registrant's historical financial
statements. These Pro Forma Statements may not be indicative of the results
that actually would have occurred if the sale had been in effect on the dates
indicated or which may be obtained in the future. The Pro Forma Financial
Statements should be read in conjunction with the Registrant's Annual Report on

Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
(In thousands of dollars)
(Unaudited)


The accompanying Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet assumes that
the sale of substantially all of the assets of Corson Lime Company occurred on
March 31, 1997 and include the following Pro Forma adjustments.

           (A) Reflects the sale of property, plant and equipment ($5,623),
               sale of certain inventories ($1,619), write-off of deferred
               stripping costs ($689 in other assets), write-off of deferred
               maintenance costs ($375 in prepaid expenses and other assets),
               and receipt of $7,855, less transaction costs of approximately
               $300, for a computed loss of $712 (net of tax benefit). The
               actual loss will be based on the book values of the assets of
               Corson Lime Company at the date of the sale. The actual loss is
               expected to be less than the pro forma loss computed with these
               adjustments.

           (B) Write off of the intangible pension asset ($138) due to the
               curtailment of the pension plan covering the union employees of
               Corson Lime Company.

           (C) Tax effect of adjustments (A) and (B) above.

           (D) Application of $1,400 of the net proceeds used to eliminate the
               borrowings under the Registrant's revolving credit facility.
