REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
CalMat Co.
Los Angeles, California
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CalMat Co.
and subsidiaries (the "Company") at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. 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 of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audits 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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

CALMAT CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SUBSEQUENT EVENT - ACQUISITION OF CALMAT CO. BY VULCAN MATERIALS
COMPANY
On November 20, 1998 Vulcan Materials Company ("Vulcan Materials")
tendered an offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of CalMat Co. and
subsidiaries (the "Company") for $31.00 per share in cash. The acquisition
became effective at the close of business on January 6, 1999. Under the terms
of the Agreement and Plan of Acquisition dated as of November 14, 1998 by and
among the Company, Vulcan Materials and ALB Acquisition Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Vulcan Materials (the "Acquisition Agreement"), the
Company agreed not to pay its regular quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share for
the fourth quarter of 1998. As a result of the acquisition, the Company has
become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vulcan Materials. Various acquisition
related costs, including costs of payouts under certain employment agreements,
costs of liquidation of stock option and other employee benefit plans, and
professional fees were incurred in 1998 and will be incurred in 1999. The
following summarizes the costs included in pre-tax special charges in 1998 and
the costs that will be recognized in 1999 by the Company:
(Amounts in thousands) 1998 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Costs under certain employment agreements and benefit plans $ 25,419 $ 35,859
Professional and other fees 665 10,616
------------------------
Total special charges $ 26,084 $ 46,475
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of CalMat Co. and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances
and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when
purchased.
INVENTORIES: Inventories are recorded when purchased or produced and are stated
at the lower of cost or market.
COSTS IN EXCESS OF NET ASSETS OF BUSINESSES ACQUIRED: Costs in excess of the
fair value of net assets of businesses acquired are amortized on a
straight-line basis over periods not exceeding 40 years. Accumulated
amortization of such costs was $16.2 million and $14.4 million at December 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively. The addition to costs in excess of net assets of
businesses acquired in 1998 was $2.7 million. The Company periodically assesses
whether there has been a permanent impairment in the value of goodwill and
other intangible assets by considering factors such as expected future
operating income, current operating results, trends and prospects, as well as
the effects of demand, competition, and other economic factors. Management
believes no impairment has occurred.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: Property, plant and equipment is carried at
cost. Depreciation is computed using straight-line rates over estimated useful
lives (5 to 35 years for plant structures and components and 4 to 25 years for
machinery and equipment). Depletion of rock and sand deposits is computed using
the units-of-production method based upon estimated recoverable quantities of
rock and sand. Significant expenditures which add materially to the utility or
useful lives of property, plant and equipment are capitalized. All other
maintenance and repair costs are charged to current operations. The cost and
related accumulated depreciation of assets replaced, retired or otherwise
disposed of are eliminated from the property accounts, and any gain or loss is
reflected in income. The Company periodically assesses whether there has been a
permanent impairment in the value of property, plant and equipment by
considering factors such as expected future operating income, current operating
results, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition,
and other economic factors. Management believes no impairment has occurred.
RECLAMATION COSTS: The estimated costs of reclamation associated with mining
activities are accrued during production. Such costs are taken into account in
determining the cost of production. The reserve for reclamation costs was $15.6
million and $14.9 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Of these
balances, the non-current portions of $13.6 million and $13.7 million were
included in other liabilities and deferred credits at December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively.
6
9
INCOME TAXES: Income taxes are determined in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".
Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method and arise from
differences in bases between tax reporting and financial reporting.
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS: Environmental remediation expenditures that relate to
current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures
that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do
not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed.
Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts
are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Estimated liabilities
are not discounted to present value. Generally, the timing of these accruals
coincides with completion of a feasibility study or the Company's commitment to
a formal plan of action. The reserve for environmental remediation costs was
$4.8 million and $5.3 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Of
these balances, the non-current portions of $4.2 million and $4.5 million were
included in other liabilities and deferred credits at December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively.
SELF-INSURANCE: The Company is self-insured up to certain levels for
automobile, product and general liability. The Company is also self-insured up
to certain levels for health care claims for eligible active and retired
employees. The Company accrues its estimated costs monthly in connection with
its portion of insurance losses/claims. Claims paid by the Company are charged
against the reserve. Additionally, the Company maintains a reserve for claims
incurred but not reported based on actuarially estimated costs.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION: Sales and operating revenues are recorded upon shipment of
product, net of discounts, if any, and include revenue earned pursuant to the
terms of property leasing contracts. Gains and losses on real estate are
recorded upon consummation of the transaction. Other income relates primarily
to interest and dividend income, miscellaneous rental income and gains on sale
of fixed assets which are recognized in accordance with the terms of various
contractual arrangements or upon receipt (as applicable).

At December 31, 1998, the Company had a formal committed revolving
credit facility with a group of banks totaling $75.0 million which will expire
in 2003. In addition, the Company also had a committed revolving promissory
note with a major commercial bank totaling $30.0 million which will expire in
1999. The Company pays a facility fee on both committed facilities. Short-term
bank borrowings under these credit facilities were $37.5 million and zero at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and bore interest rates equal to or
less than the prime bank lending rate which was 7.75% at December 31, 1998.
The $115.0 million of senior notes outstanding at December 31, 1998
and 1997 were issued pursuant to a note purchase agreement dated December 18,
1996 between the Company and a group of institutional investors. This private
placement of senior notes was issued in four tranches at interest rates ranging
from 7.19% through 7.66%, with maturities beginning in December 2003 through
December 2011.
The loan agreements contain certain covenants which address the
incurrence of additional debt, creation of liens, and maintenance of minimum
net worth and financial ratios.
Maturities of notes and bonds payable during the next five years are
as follows: 1999, $37.7 million; 2000, $0.2 million; 2001, $0.2 million; 2002,
$2.3 million; and 2003, $35.1 million.
NOTE 6: STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
At December 31, 1998, the Company had three stock option plans: the
1990 Stock Option Plan, the 1993 Stock Option Plan and the 1998 Stock Option
Plan. Under these plans, the Company has authorized the issuance of options up
to 600,000, 900,000 and 1,000,000 shares of common stock for the 1990, 1993 and
1998 plans, respectively, to executives and certain employees as determined by
the Stock Option Sub-Committee of the Management Development and Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors. The price of the shares subject to each
option was set by the Committee but could not be less than the fair market
value of the shares at the date of grant. Options generally became exercisable
in four annual installments beginning one year after the date of grant and
expired ten years after the date of grant. In 1998, 1997 and 1996, 82,500,
97,213 and 92,484 options expired, respectively.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all of the Company's stock option
plans were terminated and pursuant to the terms of the plans, all non-vested
options were accelerated effective December 28, 1998. Also pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, on January 6, 1999, all of the option holders were paid the
difference between $31.00 per share and the exercise price per share for each
option they held. The cost to liquidate the plans was $1.7 million and $20.9
million in 1998 and 1999, respectively.
The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted
during 1997 and 1996 was $7.23 and $3.53 per option, respectively. The fair
value of options at date of grant was estimated using the Black Scholes model
with the following weighted average assumptions:
1997 1996
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expected life (years) 4.75 3.5
Interest rate 5.94% 6.31%
Volatility 0.2716 0.1972
Dividend yield 1.62% 2.15%
Prior to the liquidation of the stock option plans, the Company
applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees" and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock option
plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for these plans.
Had compensation cost for the Company's plans been determined based on the fair
value at the grant dates for awards under the plans consistent with the method
of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company would
have recorded stock-based compensation expense of $3.2 million ($1.9 million
after tax or $0.08 per share) in 1997 and $0.9 million ($0.7 million after tax
or $0.03 per share) in 1996.
Effective July 1, 1997, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Purchase
Plan to provide all employees the opportunity to purchase the Company's stock
at a discount through payroll deduction. The price an employee paid for one
share of common stock was 85% of the lower of the stock price at the first or
at the last business day of a calendar quarter. During 1998 and 1997, 15,768
shares and 7,810 shares, respectively, were purchased by employees. Pursuant to
the Merger Agreement, this plan was terminated effective December 1, 1998.
NOTE 7: EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed using the method
prescribed by SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share (EPS)". Basic EPS was computed
by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is similar
to basic EPS except that the denominator was increased to include the number of
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential
common shares had been issued.

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, net income per common share computations
for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 were as follows (amounts

NOTE 8: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Company has no involvement with derivative financial instruments
and does not use them for trading purposes.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of periodic temporary
investments of excess cash and trade receivables. The Company places its
temporary excess cash investments in high quality short-term money market
instruments through several high credit quality financial institutions. A
significant portion of the Company's sales are to customers in the construction
industry, and, as such, the Company is directly affected by the well-being of
that industry. However, the credit risk associated with trade receivables is
minimal due to the Company's large customer base and ongoing control procedures
which monitor the credit worthiness of customers. The Company generally obtains
lien rights on all major projects. Historically, the Company has not
experienced significant losses on trade receivables.
11
14
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107,
"Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The estimated fair
value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market
information and valuation methodologies described below. However, considerable
judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of
fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein may not be indicative
of the amounts that the Company could realize among willing parties in a
current market transaction.
The carrying values of cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts
payable and bank lines of credit approximate fair values due to the short-term
maturities of these instruments. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values
of the Company's other financial instruments at December 31 are as follows:
1998 1997
----------------------------- -----------------------------
(Amounts in thousands) Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes receivable $ 948 $ 960 $ 3,740 $ 3,685
Notes and bonds payable 155,926 166,464 118,738 124,611
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of
financial instruments are as follows:
NOTES RECEIVABLE: The fair value was estimated using the expected future cash
flows discounted at market interest rates.
NOTES AND BONDS PAYABLE: The fair value was estimated by discounting the future
cash flows using rates currently available for debt of similar terms and
maturity.
NOTE 9: RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company has a trusteed 401(k) and a profit-sharing plan, and a
money purchase pension plan to provide funds from which retirement benefits are
paid to substantially all salaried employees of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, including officers and directors who are also employees. Annual
contributions to these plans made by the Company approximate 15.0% of the
aggregate compensation paid or accrued each year to participants in the plans.
The Company contributes to various union pension plans as specified by certain
union agreements, and non-union pension plans which cover substantially all
hourly employees. Pension expense related to these plans totaled $10.0 million
in 1998, $9.9 million in 1997 and $8.8 million in 1996.
The Company also has a non-qualified, defined benefit Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP") for certain key executives. Benefits earned
under the SERP are fully vested at age 55 and seven years of service, however,
the full amount of accrued benefit will not begin until age 62. Pension expense
related to the SERP was $24.8 million, $1.2 million and $1.1 million in 1998,
1997 and 1996, respectively. As a result of the merger, the Company paid $27.1
million as of December 31, 1998 to liquidate both vested and non-vested benefits
under the SERP.
The Company provides certain health care and life insurance benefits to
eligible retired employees. Salaried and non-union hourly participants generally
become eligible after reaching age 62 with 20 years of service or after reaching
age 65 with 15 years of service. The health care plan is contributory and the
life insurance plan is noncontributory. The plans are unfunded.

The following table sets forth the plans' funded status reconciled

===========================================
The net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1998, 1997 and 1996
included the following components:
(Amounts in thousands) 1998 1997 1996
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Service cost - benefits attributed to service during the period $ 290 $ 263 $ 290
Interest cost on the Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation 390 507 554
Net amortization (420) (295) (180)
---------------------------------------
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $ 260 $ 475 $ 664
=======================================
(Amounts in thousands) 1998 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Change in Benefit Obligation:
Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 6,052 $ 7,267
Service cost 290 263
Interest cost 390 507
Benefits paid net of retiree contributions (783) (427)
Actuarial (gain)/ loss $ 1,997 (1,558)
-------------------------
Benefit obligation at end of year $ 7,946 $ 6,052
=========================
For measurement purposes, a 10.6% annual rate of increase in the per
capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 1998; the rate was
assumed to decrease gradually to 6.0% by 2011 and remain at that level
thereafter. The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the
Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation was 6.5% in 1998, 7.0% in 1997,
and 7.5% in 1996.
The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on
the amounts reported. To illustrate, increasing the assumed health care cost
trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the Accumulated
Postretirement Benefit Obligation as of December 31, 1998 by $0.9 million and
the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic
postretirement benefit cost for the year then ended by $0.1 million.
Alternatively, decreasing assumed health care cost trend rates by one
percentage point in each year would decrease the Accumulated Postretirement
Benefit Obligation as of December 31, 1998 by $0.8 million and the aggregate of
the service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit
cost for the year then ended by $0.1 million.

NOTE 10: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company had surety bonds and standby letters of credit outstanding
totaling approximately $68.3 million at December 31, 1998, which collateralize
various insurance and performance obligations.
The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to
automobile, product and general liability and certain health care claims.
The Company has been named by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
("EPA") as a defendant in a civil action involving one "Superfund" cleanup
site. The Company is one of many entities so named. To date, the Company has
contributed approximately $300,000 to fund certain interim remedial actions at
the site as part of two partial settlements of this matter (which in part
remain subject to court approval). The EPA recently reached a decision as to
the Final Remedy to be implemented for the site and currently estimates the
total cost for implementation to be shared by all parties to be $289 million.
Although the Company's share of any liability is still undetermined, and the
ultimate outcome of this action cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company
believes that this matter will be resolved without a material adverse effect on
its financial position or results of operations. The Company's belief is based
on its position that the wastes attributed to it at the site were not
hazardous, its extremely small share of the waste at the site compared to
wastes attributable to the other defendants, and its belief that it has
recourse to insurance coverage for at least a substantial portion of any
resulting liability.
At two other sites, the Company has been named as a potentially
responsible party. With respect to one site, the Company entered a settlement
with the EPA which was not material to the financial position of the Company.
With respect to the other site, the EPA has indicated that it will not pursue a
claim against the Company.
In June 1998, the Company received a federal grand jury subpoena
citing possible antitrust violations and requesting information concerning its
Fresno, California asphalt operations. The Company is continuing to provide
information in response to the subpoena. Also, the Company has been informed
that it is a target of an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice,
Antitrust Division, regarding possible violations of antitrust laws at these
operations. Based on information available to it at this time, the Company does
not anticipate that the outcome of the investigation will have a material
adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and
liabilities which arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion
of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these actions
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations,
cash flows or financial position.
NOTE 11: BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates principally in two business segments:
Construction Materials and Properties. Operations in the Construction Materials
Division include the mining and sale of aggregates (rock, sand and gravel), the
manufacture and sale of ready mixed concrete, and the manufacture and sale of
hot-mix asphalt. The Construction Materials Division also markets Guardtop(R),
an asphalt surface sealer, and is a distributor of paving reinforcement fabric.
These products are used primarily in commercial and residential construction,
public construction projects and projects to build, expand and repair roads and
highways.
The Construction Materials Division operates aggregates processing
plants at 29 locations serving the Los Angeles, San Diego, Bakersfield, Fresno,
Ventura, Santa Barbara, Sacramento and San Francisco Bay areas of California as
well as Phoenix, Arizona and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Ready mixed concrete
batch plants are operated at 30 locations in these
14
17
markets except for the Los Angeles, Sacramento and San Francisco Bay areas. Of
the 30 ready mixed concrete locations, 10 are sites which also have aggregates
processing plants. Asphalt plants are operated at 34 locations in metropolitan
Los Angeles and San Diego, Sacramento, San Francisco Bay and San Joaquin Valley
areas of California as well as Phoenix, Arizona and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Of
the 34 asphalt plant locations, 20 are sites which also have aggregates
processing plants and/or ready mixed concrete plants.
CalMat's 34,000 acres of fee owned and leased lands are managed and
overseen by the Company's Properties Division in conjunction with the Resource
Management Department of the Construction Materials Division. The Resource
Management Department is responsible for the merger of all property used in the
Company's aggregates operations and for obtaining all necessary land use
entitlements for aggregates operations and planning for reclamation of the land
once reserves are depleted. The Properties Division is responsible for
maximizing the value of property not used in the construction materials
business by developing, selling or leasing these properties. Income sources for
the Properties Division include rentals, landfill operations and self-storage
facilities.

Income from operations by business segment represents total revenues
less direct operating expenses, segment selling, general and administrative
expenses and certain allocated corporate general and administrative expenses.
Corporate and unallocated expenses include corporate administrative expenses
and support expenses not allocated to business segments. Assets classified as
corporate and other consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, notes
receivable, general office facilities and other assets.
A substantial portion of the Company's revenues and income before
income taxes results from construction materials operations located in Southern
California.
NOTE 12: OTHER INFORMATION
The Company announced on July 14, 1998 that it has entered into a
letter of intent to exchange certain of its assets located in Pleasanton,
California, with Hanson, PLC, London, England for cash and certain assets owned
by Hanson's Cornerstone C&M, Inc. entity ("Cornerstone"). The Company's assets
subject to the letter of intent include its aggregates reserves, aggregates
processing plant, landfill, and recycling operations located in Pleasanton,
California. The Cornerstone assets that would be acquired by the Company
include eight aggregates facilities, nine ready mixed concrete plants, seven
asphalt plants, two portable ready mixed concrete plants, two portable asphalt
plants, eight commercial recycling sites and a construction contracting
business. These operations are located in California, Idaho, and Washington.
The transaction is subject to the successful negotiation and execution of a
definitive agreement between the parties. There is no assurance that a
definitive agreement will be reached. The Company filed a Notification and
Report Form with the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice as
required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act/Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976,
and the required waiting period has expired. Management does not anticipate
making any further announcements concerning this matter until a definitive
agreement has been reached or a decision to terminate the discussions has been
made.

VULCAN MATERIALS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE ACQUISITION OF CALMAT CO.
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and explanatory
notes reflect the acquisition of CalMat Co. (CalMat) by Vulcan Materials
Company, Inc. (Vulcan). In January 1999, Vulcan completed its $31.00 per share
tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of CalMat for a
value of $740 million cash, plus $10 million of estimated acquisition costs. As
of the acquisition, CalMat had fixed term debt of $118 million and $90 million
in bank borrowings, both of which were assumed by Vulcan. The acquisition was
funded by cash on hand and approximately $590 million of commercial paper. It
will be accounted for under purchase accounting, with the purchase price
allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on estimated
fair market value.
The pro forma balance sheet assumes that the acquisition was consummated on
December 31, 1998. The pro forma combined statement of earnings for the year
ended December 31, 1998 assumes that the acquisition was consummated on January
1, 1998.
Certain pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates. Final
allocations will be made on the basis of further evaluations and, therefore,
such allocations may differ from those reflected in the pro forma financial
statements.
The pro forma statement of earnings is not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations of Vulcan had the CalMat acquisition occurred at the
beginning of the period presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of the
results of future operations. These statements should be read in conjunction
with the separate historical financial statements and notes thereto of Vulcan
(incorporated by reference in Vulcan's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1998) and CalMat included herein.
