To Our Shareholders
The year 1979 was one of bold action... a year in which we developed a new strategy for the challenging 1980's, redirecting our energies and resources into cement, aggregates and related products. That strategy, and that challenge, are the principal subjects of this year's Annual Report.
It was also an outstanding year for profits.
We earned $5.95 per share vs. $4.02 the year before, a rise of 48% and our fourth consecutive year of record performance. The 1979 earnings included 39<t per share from discontinued operations and a 41<t gain on their sale. Profit from continuing operations alone, $5.15 per share, exceeded our total 1978 earnings by 28%.
A gain to 18.9% in return on shareholders' equity, over the 14.5% of 1978, was also a significant achievement.
The 1980 dividend rate was raised 18% to $ 1.65 per share--the fifth consecutive year of increase.
The U.S. cement industry has arrived at a new era of great promise and opportunity--an era of new dynamics:
.. .pent-up demand for safer highways, bridges and airport runways, better water and sewage treatment systems, smoother railroad trackbeds and many other needs.
...limitedsupply, caused by a prolonged period of inadequate new investment in the cement industry and aggravated by an increasing number of retirements of old and inefficient plants.
...new capitalformation goals, achievable by those companies that can generate funds internally and find innovative ways to access capital markets.
.. .changing distributionpatterns, with rail and barge shipments challenging the high costs of truck hauling ^ and ocean shipping.
LSI(01/16/2018)_001447
rames E. Stewart
.. .fuel-saving technologies to lower costs dramatically in cement manufacture through preheaters, precalciners, roller mills and other innovations.
.. .andperhaps above all, the dynamics o fpublic opinion, rallying against the economic effects of over-regulation and excessive environmentalism.
Lone Star moved swiftly and boldly in early 1979 to meet the challenges of these new dynamics by concentrating upon them all of its skills and resources.
Through disposition of our building centers operations in the second quarter of the year, we realized $ 152 million, primarily for redeployment into our basic businesses of cement, aggregates and related products.
The company's organization was restructured to more effectively carry out this new strategy. Donald M. Halsted, Jr., formerly head of Atlantic Cement Company, joined Lone Star as President and Chief Operating Officer, and Carmine J. Muratore, formerly Senior Vice President in the investment firm of Blyth Eastman Dillon & Co., joined the company as Executive Vice President--Staff.
Expansion of production capacity was accelerated. The company completed the acquisition of Portland Cement Company of Utah and San-Vel Concrete Corporation and continued its successful turnaround of the operations acquired in Florida in 1978.
Agreements have been reached to acquire additional cement plant operations in Illinois and Oklahoma.
Expansion of our Santa Cruz plant in the San Francisco Bay area is well underway to virtually double production and greatly improve operating efficiency, particularly in the use of energy.

Our operations in Argentina and Uruguay produced outstanding results during the year. In Brazil, we combined our interests with those of Lafarge of France in a new joint venture, leading to groundbreaking for a 770,000-ton plant to serve Rio de Janeiro and its surrounding markets. Lone Star repurchased 1,250,000 shares of common stock at $25.50 a share...and has arranged for its shares to be traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
We have endeavored to alert the government, our industry and the investment community in the U.S. and abroad to the problems and the promise of the cement industiy today in terms o f limited domestic capacity, increased dependence on foreign imports and rising costs. Our position is presented on the following pages.
The outlook for Lone Star in 1980--despite varying forecasts for the U.S. economy--is for another year of growth in sales and earnings and for further progress in responding to the new dynamics of our industiy.
The eventful and significant year just concluded was Lone Star's 60th year in business. We are proud of the achievements brought about in the recent succession of record-breaking years--and view them as the foundation for even more exciting growth in the years ahead.
I am deeply obligated to all of Lone Star's employees, whose dedication and professionalism have brought about these results.

"Cement is Turning to Oil"
(Excerptsfro m recent Lone Star presentations to industry and investment groups in the United States and Europe.)
Cement is used in more than 90% of all construction in America--a $230 billion industry giving employment to some 10 million people.
Cement thus plays a basic role in our lives and economy, but cement supplies have become tight in many areas.
It is now an economic certainty that cement will become even more scarce and therefore more valuable in the future. If oil is "black gold," cement is certainly "gray gold."
Cement, in a manner of speaking, is turning to oil.
In recent years cement was being allocated in tight supply areas--just like oil--on a percentage basis to estab lished customers. New orders often could not be filled, or new customers accepted. Large construction projects had to be postponed or stretched out, affecting jobs and local economies.
Such tight supply situations are becoming chronic in many markets, and may well last through most of the 1980's.
The cement industry may soon face the same public criticisms being made against the oil companies in the United States.
The fact is that the lack of adequate capital formation incentives and excessive government regulations have made it difficult to expand national cement capacity.
One effect of the growing pressure on domestic capacity was a 47% increase in the amount of cement that was imported into the United States last year.

LSI(01/16/2018)_001450
Meanwhile, the energy supply of the entire world is being questioned and challenged. Events in the Middle East require that every nation's sources and energy uses be rethought.
For cement producers outside the U.S., the practice of importing costly oil to make cement for the U.S. market will no longer be viable.
Future uses of oil must be channeled into industries that require less energy and contribute more to the growth of local economies.
That means that less cement will be available for import, and it means that the U.S. must think in terms of produc ing more cement for its own use.
Meanwhile, the pressures that increasing demand will have on a limited cement supply in America will be relentless.
In spite of these pressures, some may question whether this is the right time to launch any major expansion program, because of varying economic forecasts of recession.
But meeting the nation's need for cement is a long-term program.
It takes up to 3 years just to obtain the necessary environ mental permits to build or expand a cement plant. And once the 2 to 3 year construction phase is completed, the plant will operate for at least 25 years.
Because the product is so vital to the whole construction industry--being by far the least expensive, most versatile and essential building material--we must look well down the road in planning for its continued availability.
LSI(01/16/2018)_001451
We do not have the luxury of waiting for what might be the exact moment in time to get started. The exact moment is now.
Furthermore, new plants with new technology will produce more economically--and older plants must eventually fall by the wayside.
But this plant replacement process is being impeded by excessive government controls, the burden of bureaucratic paperwork and costly and time-consuming regulatory procedures.
W hat is needed at this critical juncture is the understand ing of our government agencies--their cooperation, encouragement and assistance in our efforts to meet the national need and serve the national interest.
How do we see the cement industry in the U.S. for the next ten years?
First--1980 will be a good year. Second--From 1981 to 1986 every ton of U.S.-produced cement will be utilized in our domestic market. Third--The world-wide squeeze on oil and energy will change world trade patterns, including cement. Fourth--From 1981 to 1989, a great num ber of out dated high-BTU-using cement plants will be shut down. Fifth--After 1990, only new plants, those which have been converted to the new technology, and only a few others, will survive.
That's the way we see it--a scenario that will soon change an "unappreciated" industry into one that is fully recognized as vital to the national interest.

Review of Operations
The widely predicted 1979 recession did not arrive, and the construction market remained strong throughout the year.
Shipments by the U.S. portland cement industry were 83.3 million tons, making 1979 the second best year in history. Demand pressures on the industry's cement plant system caused total imports to reach a record level of 9.4 million tons, up from 6.4 million tons imported in 1978.
Lone Star's domestic portland cement shipments increased 5.7%, outperforming the industry. The increase came from technological improvements and higher pro duction, with several Lone Star plants again establishing new all-time records, and from expansions, acquisitions and imports.
In order to accelerate the company's growth and development in its basic business of cement and related products, the building centers operations--distributors and retailers of building materials--were disposed of during the second quarter of 1979.
These dispositions generated a pretax profit to Lone Star of $8.3 million. Total funds of approximately $152 million were realized primarily for reinvestment in the basic business.
In June, the San-Vel Concrete Corporation in Littleton, Massachusetts, was purchased for $8.5 million. San-Vel is a leading producer of precast, prestressed concrete prod ucts. The company is presently participating in a $50 mil lion contract to supply concrete railroad crossties to the Amtrak Northeast Corridor Improvement Program.
The Portland Cement Company of Utah was acquired in September for $38 million in cash. This company has a long history of excellent management and fine service to Salt Lake City and surrounding markets. An

expansion o f its plant to 420,000 tons was completed during 1979.
Lone Star has agreed to acquire the Pryor, Oklahoma cement plant of OKC Corp. and the Dixon, Illinois plant of Medusa Corporation. These facilities would add 1,325,000 tons to Lone Star's rated capacity at a total cost of approximately $94 million. The Pryor acquisition is subject to a number of required approvals.
Turnaround of the Lone Star Florida operations, acquired in 1978, has continued and accelerated, with nearly $4 million contributed to net income in 1979. The first phase of a planned modernization and expansion program is now in progress at the cement plant, involv ing the upgrading of certain production operations, increased storage capacity, a new packhouse, and con version of the kiln fuel from natural gas to coal.
Following the combination of Lone Star's Brazilian interests with Lafarge early in 1979, a new plant project was launched at Cantagalo, to serve the State of Rio de Janeiro. This 770,000-ton facility is being financed by the joint venture, primarily through a $75 million Eurodollar loan from a syndicate of banks.
Excellent results are being achieved by Lone Star's sub sidiaries in Argentina and Uruguay, aided by continuing strong demand.
Capital Expenditures at New High
Lone Star's capital expenditures increased for the fifth year in a row, reaching a record $84 million. Today, it takes more than $2 million a year, on average, for needed replacements and additions just to maintain an existing cement plant. This excludes any profit improvement mea sures like coal conversion or minor additions to capacity.

A major capital allocation was made in 1979 to the Santa Cruz expansion project in California. Productive capacity there is being increased from 395,000 tons per year to a virtually all new 750,000 tons, and through new tech nology with conversion to coal, fuel consumption per ton will be greatly reduced.
Energy conservation measures by Lone Star have reduced its BTU consumption per ton of cement pro duced by 11% over the past five years.
Capital funds continue to be directed to the conversion of other Lone Star cement plants from oil and natural gas to coal: Maryneal in 1979, and currently the Santa Cruz plant, with Miami to follow. Nearly 90% of Lone Star's productive capacity will be fired by coal, on com pletion of these programs.
Lone Star's expansion and improvement programs are being financed both through internally generated funds and through innovative approaches to the capital markets.
The company is currently arranging the private place ment o f $41 million o f cumulative preferred stock, and also expects to dedicate a portion of future production of limestone from quarries located adjacent to three of its cement plants for $50 million. The company intends to pursue additional financing during the year, including $38.5 million of borrowings related to the Pryor, Oklahoma plant acquisition.
The Importance of Aggregates
In addition to being the Number One U.S. producer of cement with 7.3 million tons of rated capacity, Lone Star is also the Number One producer of sand and gravel. Last year the company mined, processed and sold some 38 million tons of aggregrates from 43 major sand and

gravel deposits and stone quarries in 8 states.
The aggregates business complements the cement business, and Lone Star's leadership position in these products is one of the company's real strengths. Approxi mately 21% of the company's operating profit is now derived from these important, increasingly valuable and profitable materials.
As construction demand grows, the availability of good deposits of aggregates in major metropolitan areas has become restricted.
As an example, rock for construction purposes is not available within 100 miles of Houston. Construction sand is scarce in New \brk; and in Sacramento, Lone Star has just built a new plant on the last known major deposit of sand and gravel near the city.
Lone Star has assured itself of many years of aggregates supply, and is adding to those reserves as favorable opportunities arise.
It is very much in the nation's interest for public policy to recognize the importance of such irreplaceable assets, and to protect their use from being foreclosed by envi ronmental regulations or restrictive zoning.
The company is also the leader in ready-mixed concrete, currently producing and marketing approximately 4 mil lion cubic yards of ready-mix annually, delivered by our fleet of 750 ready-mix trucks to job sites in 8 states. In addition, Lone Star produces more than 35 million con crete blocks annually.
Lone Star Hawaii Inc. had an excellent year, recording $20 million in sales and $6.5 million in operating profit. Major developments there include a light industrial park near Pearl Harbor and developments of townhouses and single-family homes on the windward side of Oahu.

The New Dynamics of Cement
Far-reaching changes in the economics of cement pro duction, distribution and use have brought the industry to a new era of challenge and opportunity.
As an energy-intensive industry, cement makers must: .. .find and apply new technologies to save energy, .. .resolve distribution problems to save motor fuel, ...accept that imports will dwindle, because no
oil-poor nation can afford to buy expensive oil to make inexpensive cement for export, and
.. .find ways of meeting pent-up U.S. public demand for clean water, efficient sewage disposal, safer highways and bridges, and all the construction needs and demands of our way of life.
The issue, and Lone Star's mission, is to be of significant service to the nation's construction industry by meeting the growing demand for the materials essential to our country's economic growth.
Lone Star has the ability to generate adequate capital for the job, it has the human resources for the task in an experienced workforce and sound management organi zation, and it has a basic framework of production and distribution facilities on which to build. We are the com pany that has "put it all together."
We are committed to leadership and participation in the industry's dynamic changes in the 1980's--changes which will be beneficial to the nation, to the construction industry, to the company and to its shareholders.
The following pages illustrate some of Lone Star's capabilities and achievements in keeping pace with these new dynamics.

The dynamics o f technology Cement-making is non-stop. Giant silos of raw materials feed rotary kilns--the largest moving machines in any industry--24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The technological challenge is to build and maintain plants that conserve power and fuel, run smoothly, and produce a product of uniform high quality. The pay-off: lower costs, higher margins.

The dynamics o f aggregates
The mining of sand, gravel and stone close to metropolitan areas has diminished these resources and made them increasingly valuable. As the nation's largest producer of construction sand and gravel, and one of the largest suppliers of crushed stone, Lone Star benefits from well-established operations and substantial reserves.

The dynamics o fgrowth Additional cement capacity is urgently needed to meet the constantly growing U.S. demand--but at today's cost of $ 150 million or more for a new million-ton plant, few such projects are being announced. Lone Star is broadening its capacity at minimum capital cost and at attractive returns on investment.

The dynamics o f energy conservation
Conserving oil and gas is not only a national priority, it also reduces costs in the energy intensive cement industry By the end of this year, Lone Star will be 88% on coal, and moving toward 100% as rapidly as possible. Systemwide, Lone Star's energy use per ton has been reduced 11% over the past five years.

The dynamics o f distribution Lone Star's extensive distribution system in cludes the ownership or leasing of railroad hopper cars, barges, tugboats and distribution terminals. In the future, larger plant sizes and the soaring cost of highway transportation can be expected to increase the use of distribution terminals served by energyefficient rail and barge transportation.

The dynamics o fprecast/prestressed concrete
High-speed, efficient railroad systems demand welded railroad tracks and a roadbed system based on concrete railroad crossties, as other nations have proved with their high-speed trains. The construction of urgently needed watersupply and sewage-disposal systems is speeded by use of precast concrete products.

The dynamics o fpent-up demand Government spending for public works projects has been grossly inadequate, actually declining 15% since 1975 in real terms. Government agencies have identified thousands of unsafe bridges across the nation and hundreds of unsafe dams. Airport runways and municipal sewage systems are overburdened. The pent-up demand for public construction is a powerful force; playing "catch-up" will place enormous stress on construction materials capabilities.
Bridges and dams are among the essential public works projects requiring large amounts o fcement and aggregates.

The dynamics o f thefuture
What is civilization without cement? ...Each generation determines its own needs, sets its own priorities; but civilization and living standards move relentlessly forward. Construction in America, commanding some 10% of the gross national product and indirectly influencing at least another 10%, is currently supported by $230 billion in spending, provides employment for an estimated 10 million people, and is absolutely dependent on the relatively small cement and aggregates industries. Our nation's future will require more and more of these basic products, for which no economic substitutes are even remotely in sight.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Summary of Operations
Consolidated Results Lone Star's sales from continuing opera tions established a new record o f $792.5 million in 1979, an increase of $ 154.2 million or 24.2% over 1978. A m ajor por tion of the increase was attributable to the domestic cement and related prod ucts operations primarily reflecting the institution of price increases, a continued strong performance by the Florida operations, and the acquisition of the Portland Cement Company of Utah and San-Vel Concrete Corporation. Lone Star experienced an increase in domestic sales and shipm ents throughout its major product lines.
Profit Margin
(Net Income to Sales)
Consolidated net income also achieved a record $64.7 million in 1979, an increase o f $19.3 million or 42.5% above the 1978 record. Net income from continuing operations alone surpassed the total 1978 am ount by over 20%. This increase was broad-based; all of the com pany's domestic and foreign opera tions and major product lines, including real estate operations, contributed increased operating profits over 1978. Portland of Utah contributed almost $3.0 million in operating profit, follow ing its acquisition in September. Consoli dated results were partially offset by higher income taxes. Income from joint ventures more than doubled as Lonestar Florida Pennsuco contributed $3.8 mil lion in profits, almost three times last year's results.
Net income from discontinued Build ing Centers operations, disposed of dur ing the second quarter of 1979, was $4.3 million. The after-tax gain on the sale was an additional $4.4 million.
N et Sales Reach New High
Cement and Related Products Sales of the cement and related products segment increased $ 107.2 million to $609.9 million in 1979,21.3% over 1978.
Domestic Cement Sales Domestic cement sales increased $48.5
million or 20.1% as a result of increased shipments and higher prices in all regional markets, along with the inclu sion of $6.5 million in sales from the newly acquired Portland of Utah opera tion. A tight supply situation existed during much of the year with a higher level of imports necessary to meet demand in some coastal markets. Regional price increases, ranging from 10% to 16%, were realized during the year. Shipments, excluding cement used in the com pany's concrete operations, in creased 6.7% over 1978.
Lonestar Florida, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company that began operations in early 1978, had 1979 cement sales and shipments increase 65% and 46%, respectively, over 1978. Lonestar Florida purchases and resells all the production of the Lonestar Florida Pennsuco joint venture. North east Region cement sales increased $5.6
million or 29%, with shipments increas ing 12% in a stronger construction market. Pacific Region cement sales increased $8.8 million over 1978 and used imports to meet rising demand pending completion of the expansion of Lone Star's Santa Cruz, California cement plant. Cement sales also increased in the other domestic regions, primarily due to improved prices.
International Cement Sales In Lone Star's international opera
tions, cement sales increased $ 1.2 million to $ 109.3 million on increased sales in Argentina and Uruguay, partially offset by the exclusion of sales in Brazil result ing from the contribution of Lone Star's Brazilian operations to a new joint ven ture with Lafarge. Sales increased $25.0 million in Argentina to $77.4 million on increased selling prices and higher volurnes. The growing Argentine economy resulted in an 8% increase in cement consumption in 1979, and tight supply conditions continued. Both of Lone Star's cement plants achieved record production and reached practical capac ity. Prices have kept pace with the high inflation rate while devaluations have lagged well behind, resulting in a favor able translation of sales in local currency to dollars.
Sales at Lone Star's Brazilian opera tions, included only up to the April, 1979 formation of the joint venture, were $14.1 million as com pared with $41.7 million for the full year 1978. Sales

increased $3.7 million to $17.7 million in Uruguay on improved prices. Demand from the country's construction industry ncreased as a result of a higher inflow of argentine capital, with cement being in short supply much of the year. Cement prices were decontrolled early in the year, which allowed the company to keep pace with accelerating inflation. Devalu ations have also lagged in Uruguay, resulting in a favorable translation of sales in local currency to dollars.
C oncrete ancl C oncrete Products Sales
Domestic sales of ready-mixed con crete increased 26.5% in 1979. Sales were higher in all regions due to improved prices and the acquisition of San-Vel. Lonestar Florida concrete sales advanced 41.6%, primarily due to strong dem and in the commercial and condo minium markets. Sales of concrete increased $3.2 million in international operations on higher volumes and prices in Argentina.
Sales of precast and prestressed concrete products increased 72.6% in 1979, primarily due to higher sales by Lonestar Florida and newly acquired San-Vel.
Construction Aggregates Sales Sales of construction aggregates
increased $22.2 million to $ 127.2 million in 1979, or21.1% above 1978, with all regions showing improvement. South west Region aggregates sales accounted for 34% of the overall increase on improved prices and higher production and shipments, primarily due to a plant expansion in the North Texas market. Lonestar Florida sales increased $3.6 million due to strong demand for aggre gates for highway resurfacing projects. Sales of aggregates in the Pacific Region increased $4.3 million as the modern Sacramento facility, opened in late 1978, contributed a full year's production.
Other Segments Sales Net sales from the other business seg
ments increased $24.8 million to $55.4 million in 1979 on higher sales of devel oped properties by Lone Star Flawaii and higher wholesale lumber operations sales.
Operating Profits Exceed $100 Million Consolidated operating profits from con tinuing operations increased $34.9 mil lion to $105.0 million in 1979, an in
crease of 49.8% over 1978. Cement and related products, the com pany's largest segment, provided 69.9% of total operat ing profits from continuing operations.
Domestic operating profits from ce ment and related products increased $14.2 million on improved margins. Also contributing to the increase were the operating profits of the newly acquired San-Vel and Portland o f Utah, which provided operating profits o f $1.1 and $3.0 million, respectively, for the periods owned. Operating profits in the interna tional operations increased 12.9% to $20.4 million on strong results in Argen tina. as higher sales volumes and in creased prices more than offset the ef fects of increased operating costs.
Operating profits for 1979 from con struction aggregates were $21.8 million, or 38.0% above 1978, on higher volumes and improved margins. Higher volumes were primarily due to the expansion of the com pany's crushed stone operations in North Texas and the contribution of a full year's operations at the Sacramento facility in California.
Operating profits from other business segments increased $6.1 million to $9.8 million primarily on increased sales of developed properties by Lone Star Hawaii.
Income to Average Invested Capital
Joint Ventures Income from joint ventures and uncon solidated subsidiaries increased $3.8 mil lion in 1979 to $5.9 million as a result of greater income from Lonestar Florida Pennsuco and Lone Star Minerals.
Lonestar Florida Pennsuco contrib uted $3.8 million to venture income, rep resenting an increase of $2.4 million, due to strong dem and from commercial and condominium markets and highway re
surfacing projects. Lone Star holds all of the outstanding common stock in the venture and thus records all venture profit after deducting preferred divi dends. See Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements on page 50 for summarized comparative financial information and a further discussion of the venture.
Lone Star Minerals, Inc., a 50% owned joint venture formed in July, 1978, con tributed $1.5 million to venture income for 1979. The com pany produces and markets specialty aggregates and roofing granules.
In April, 1979, Lone Star and Lafarge, the largest cement company in France, combined substantially all of their cement operations in Brazil to form a new joint venture, with Lone Star ob taining a 48% interest. The venture operated at approximately a break-even level during its first eight months of operations. The Brazilian economy has experienced high inflation due to high imported energy costs and low agricul tural output due to adverse weather. As a result, a tight monetary policy has been instituted, which has caused construction cutbacks, ham pering the new venture's operations. The venture currently operates four cement plants and is in the process of building a new 770,000 ton plant in Cantagalo, northeast of Rio de Janeiro. See Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements on page 51 for a further dis cussion of the venture's formation, in cluding summary financial information.
Interest Expense Interest expense declined 3% in 1979 to $ 19.2 million, as a portion of the cash obtained from the sale of Building Centers was used to reduce short-term debt during the year. This reduction was partially offset by higher interest rates on the short-term financing utilized. The daily weighted average interest rate on Lone Star's short-term borrowings in creased from 14.3% to 16.7%, reflecting the general rise in interest rates during the year.
During 1979, Lone Star chose not to elect early implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34 relating to capitalization o f inter est costs. It is estim ated that capitaliza tion of interest in accordance with this statement would have increased re ported primary earnings per share by $0.05 for 1979.
39
LSI(01/16/2018)_001482
Corporate and Unallocated Expenses Corporate and unallocated net expenses include corporate administrative ex penses, securities income (net of related foreign currency translation losses) and minority interest. These expenses showed an increase of $0.6 million in 1979 to $ 15.3 million, primarily reflect ing the effects of inflation on salaries, benefits and other administrative ex penses. partially offset by an increase in income from marketable securities.
Income Taxes Federal, foreign and other income taxes increased $13.2 million, almost three times the 1978 level, reflecting the higher pre-tax earnings and a higher effective corporate tax rate. The higher effective tax rate is attributable to increased operating profits, which rose at a greater rate than percentage depletion deduc tions and investment tax credits.
Record N et Income Lone Star's income from continuing operations in 1979 was a record $56.0 million, 84.2%, or $25.6 million above the previous record level of $30.4 million established in 1978 and 23.5% above total net income for 1978. The increase
ing Centers operations were profitable, the company felt that the increasing cap ital requirements in both the building centers and cement industries made it necessary to choose between them to maintain its growth and leadership. After reviewing the current and pros pective return on investment in both businesses, the company decided the outlook favored cement, aggregates and related products where strong market conditions are seen for some time to come.
The sale of Building Centers involved eight separate transactions, yielding an after-tax profit of $4.4 million. Prior to its sale. Building Centers had 1979 after tax income o f $4.3 million.
Lone Star's net income in 1979 reached a record $64.7 million, or 42.7% above the previous record set in 1978. Income from continuing operations of $56.0 million exceeded the 1978 record earnings from all operations by $ 10.7 million. The increased earnings are at tributable to higher sales and operating profits of continuing operations seg ments, the earnings and gain on disposal of the Building Centers operations, and increased sales and operating profits in real estate development operations, all offset in part by a higher effective in come tax rate.

Earnings per Share In 1979, Lone Star earned $5.95 per share of common stock after deducting dividends on preferred stock, compared with $4.02 per share in 1978, a new high for the fourth consecutive year. Earnings per share from continuing operations achieved a record level of$5.15 in 1979, almost double 1978's $2.69 per share. Earnings per share from discontinued operations were $0.39 in 1979 as com pared to $ 1.33 in 1978, the decrease reflecting the sale of Building Centers during 1979. The gain on this sale contributed $0.41 to 1979 earnings per share.
Primary net income per share is based on 10.8 million and 11.2 million weighted average shares outstanding in 1979 and 1978, respectively. The declin ing number of shares outstanding re sulted from the com pany's purchase of 1,250,000 shares in July 1979, partially offset by 413,039 shares issued in con nection with the conversion of deben
The purchase of shares alone had the effect of increasing earnings per share for the year by $0.30, or 5.3% on a pri mary basis, and $0.25 or 4.8% on a fully diluted basis. Earnings per share from continuing operations was increased by $0.26, or 5.3% on a prim ary basis, and $0.22, or 4.9% on a fully diluted basis.
Other Incom e--N et Other income--net, increased $8.2 mil lion. primarily due to higher joint ven ture income as explained under "Joint Ventures" on page39. higher securities income, and lower foreign exchange losses. Securities income increased $2.5 million primarily due to an increase in
LSI(01/16/2018)_001483
short-term investments. Foreign ex change losses decreased $1.3 million, pri marily due to the formation of the Bra zilian joint venture which is accounted for on the equity basis.
Costs o f Sales; Selling, General & Administrative Expenses and Depreciation Cost of sales increased 22.1% in 1979 as operating costs reflected the higher power, fuel, labor and m aintenance costs associated with increased production and sales levels. Additional increases in power and fuel were attributable to in creased utility rates and higher fuel prices. Labor costs increased due to wage rate and benefit increases. Repairs and maintenance expenses rose due to exten sive kiln repairs, reflecting continued high production and high prices for re placement parts.
Lone Star's domestic cement, aggre gates and related products operations had a 25% cost of sales increase to $504.5 million due to higher sales and operating costs in all regions and Lonestar Florida, and the effect of the acquisition of San-Vel and Portland of Utah.
Cost o f sales decreased in Lone Star's international operations by $4.3 million, primarily reflecting the change in ac counting method for the Brazilian opera tion from a consolidated basis to the equity basis upon the combining of in terests with Lafarge. Cost of sales increased in Argentina and Uruguay, primarily due to high inflation.
Cost of sales increased in Lone Star's other segments, reflecting increased sales of properties in the com pany's real estate development operations.
Selling, general and administrative ex penses declined as a percentage of net sales to 8.8% in 1979 from 9.2% in 1978. These costs increased $11.1 million, or 18.8% in 1979, as a result of increased sales activity in the cement apd related products and construction aggregates operations, as well as selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by San-Vel and Portland of Utah after their acquisition, and the effects o f inflation on wages, benefits and other cost components.
Depreciation and depletion expense increased $2.2 million or 8.9% to $26.6 million in 1979, primarily because o f the increase in total depreciable assets aris ing from capital expenditures of $83.8
million and the acquisition of the fixed assets of San-Vel and Portland of Utah.
Capital Expenditures Increased Lone Star's capital expenditures were $83.8 million in 1979, representing an increase of 34.5% over 1978. Domestic capital expenditures were $75.6 million, an increase of $20.1 million, while capi tal expenditures in the international operations were $8.2 million.

The expansion and modernization of the Santa Cruz, California cement plant continued with 1979 expenditures of $23.8 million. This project is designed to increase capacity to 750,000 tons annually and reduce per-ton energy con sumption. The company spent $2.7 mil lion for a new one million ton crushed stone plant near Richmond. Virginia. During the year, Lone Star also spent $15.5 million for major repairs and replacements of mobile equipm ent, $6.7 million for the purchase of quarry land adjacent to the Florida operations. $2.1 million for pollution control devices, and $ 1.5 million for completion of a cost saving coal conversion at the Maryneal, Texas plant. The remaining domestic expenditures were primarily related to major repairs and replacements to upgrade existing facilities.
In the com pany's international opera tions $5.7 million was spent in Argentina and a lesser am ount in Uruguay to m ain tain and modernize existing facilities. The funds were provided from the finan cial resources of the subsidiaries located in each country.
Further additions were made to gross property, plant, and equipm ent due to
the acquisitions of Portland of Utah ($23.4 million) and San-Vel ($15.4 million).
Major Acquisitions In June, Lone Star acquired all o f the outstanding stock o f San-Vel Concrete Corporation, a leading Massachusetts manufacturer of precast/prestressed concrete products for $8.5 million in cash and notes. San-Vel's prim ary m ar ket area centers in greater Boston and includes much o f New England. San-Vel. through a joint venture, also has a con tract to provide 1.1 million prestressed concrete railroad crossties for the Amtrak Northeast Corridor Improve ment Program. San-Vel has contributed sales and operating profit of $12.5 mil lion and $1.1 million, respectively, to the consolidated totals.
Lone Star acquired all of the out standing stock of the Portland Cement Company of Utah in September for $38.1 million in cash. It serves Salt Lake City and the surrounding market with a newly expanded 420,000-ton capacity cement plant. Portland of Utah contrib uted sales and operating profits o f $6.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, to the com pany's 1979 consolidated totals.
In December, 1979 Lone Star agreed to acquire the Dixon. Illinois cement plant of Medusa Corporation, a subsid iary of Crane Co. Under the terms of the agreement, Lone Star will purchase the plant, terminal facilities and a quarry for $10.0 million and will also purchase the plant's inventories at a price to be deter mined at the time the acquisition is com pleted. The Dixon plant has a rated capacity of approximately 600,000 tons of cement a year.
In February, 1980, Lone Star and OKC Corp. reached an agreement for the sale of O K C 's Pryor. Oklahoma cement facility and certain land near Ocala, Florida to Lone Star for $87.3 million. In addition, Lone Star agreed to purchase certain other assets, including inventories, substantially on a cost basis. Lone Star is negotiating with O K C 's lenders to borrow $38.5 million at the time of the closing. The Pryor plant cur rently has a rated capacity of 450.000 tons of cement per year: a nearly com pleted expansion program will increase rated capacity to 725,000 tons.

Dividend Increased In 1979, Lone Star raised the dividend on its com m on stock to $ 1.40 per share as the com pany completed its 45th consec utive year of uninterrupted quarterly dividends on common stock. Cash divi dends of $0.35 per share were paid to holders of common stock in each quarter of 1979 and $0.30 per share were paid in each quarter of 1978. The com pany paid cash dividends of $1,125 per share in each quarter of both years on its pre ferred stock. Total cash dividends on common shares were $15.2 million and $13.4 million in 1979 and 1978, respec tively. Dividends paid to preferred share holders were $176,000 in 1979 and $232,000 in 1978. The variations from 1978 reflect the per share increase and the conversion of debentures and pre ferred shares into common shares, par tially offset by the com pany's 1,250,000 common share purchase in July, 1979. In January, 1980, Lone Star's Board of Directors raised the quarterly cash divi dend on common stock to $0.4125 per share, and announced its intention to make payments totalling $ 1.65 per share for the year.
Financial Position Highlights During 1979, the proportion of Lone Star's non-current assets to total assets increased as a result of several major transactions during the year. The sale of Building Centers retail/wholesale opera tions with high working capital needs resulted in a large decrease in invento ries and receivables. As detailed earlier, most of the proceeds were used to increase the com pany's fixed investment in its cement, construction aggregates and related products operations through
Stock Prices The following table shows the quarterly high and low prices o f Lone Star's com mon stock and preferred stock for 1979 and 1978 as reported in the Wall Street Journal. Lone Star's common shares are listed on the New York, Boston and Pacific Stock Exchanges and are open to
trading on the Midwest and Philadel phia Exchanges. Certificates represent ing Lone Star's common shares are traded on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange and arrangements were made during the year for listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, to be effec tive in early 1980.

acquisitions or modernization and reno vation of existing facilities, and a cash contribution o f $14.8 million to the com pany's Brazilian joint venture with Lafarge. In addition, the company pur chased 1,250,000 of its common shares in July for $32.2 million. Because of these events, and in order to finance acqui sitions and meet the needs of the com pany's capital spending program, internally generated funds are being supplemented by entry into the capital markets. Lone Star is currently arrang ing the private placement of $41.0 mil lion o f cumulative preferred stock. The com pany expects to sell a portion of future production for $50 million from a limestone quarry located adjacent to one of its cement plants and from the two limestone quarries involved in the 1976 production payment as described in Note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements on page 52. Lone Star will pursue addi tional financing during the year, includ ing $38.5 million of borrowings related to the Pryor, Oklahoma plant acquisition.
Lone Star's current assets decreased $94.5 million to $197.7 million in 1979, primarily due to the sale of Building Centers, which had current assets of $130.5 million at December 31, 1978. This was only partially offset by an increase in current assets resulting from the acquisition of Portland of Utah and San-Vel, by higher receivables balances due to increased sales, and by higher inventory balances due to higher costs. Current liabilities decreased $27.8 mil lion, reflecting the sale of the Building Centers operations, which caused a decrease of $27.7 million, partially offset by the current liabilities acquired with San-Vel and Portland o f Utah. As a result of these events, working capital and the current ratio declined to $95.7 million and 1.9 to 1, respectively, in 1979 from $162.4 million and 2.3 to 1, respec tively, in 1978.

Working Capital
( in millions)
Net property, plant and equipment increased $ 16.2 million in 1979 as a result of the acquisition of Portland of Utah and San-Vel and capital expendi tures, partially offset by the disposition of the Building Centers operations and the contribution of Lone Star's Brazilian operations to the new joint venture with Lafarge.
Lone Star's investment in joint ven tures and unconsolidated subsidiaries increased $57.8 million, primarily as a -esult of the com pany's investment in the *ew Brazilian joint venture, which had a carrying value of $46.9 million at December 31, 1979.
Cost in excess of net assets o f busi nesses acquired increased $19.6 million during the year, primarily resulting from the acquisitions of Portland of Utah and San-Vel.
Shareholders' equity increased $26.3 million, or 8.0%. primarily due to 1979 net income of $64.7 million. In addition, equity was increased $9.1 million by the conversion of 5Vs% subordinated deben tures, the conversion of preferred stock and the exercise of stock options. Equity was reduced by the purchase of common shares for $32.2 million and dividend payments o f $ 15.3 million. Equity per common share increased 16.8% to $34.15 at the end o f 1979, as compared with $29.24 at the end of 1978. Return on average equity increased significantly, from 14.5% in 1978 to 18.9% in 1979.
Comparison o f 1978 and 1977 Results Net sales rose in 1978 to $638.3 million, an increase of $ 183.0 million or 40.2% above 1977. The major portion o f the increase was attributable to the com pany's cement, construction aggregates and related products operations, reflect ing the continued growth of construction activity, particularly in the Pacific and Southwest Regions. The 1978 results also included sales beginning in February 1978 of $69.0 million by Lonestar Florida, Inc. Sales in the cement and related products segment o f $502.7 mil lion accounted for 78.8% of the total and represented an increase of 40.1% over 1977. This gain was primarily attributa ble to higher domestic cement sales vol ume resulting from greater construction activity in the United States, as well as the implementation of necessary price increases. International operations sales increased by $25.4 million or 28.6% reflecting higher cement prices, particu larly in Argentina. Sales o f construction aggregates, led by the Pacific Region, increased 38.5%, reflecting strong con struction activity and improved pricing.
Cost o f sales increased 42.4% in 1978 on higher net sales and higher costs along with the inclusion of the opera tions of Lonestar Florida. Inc. The increase in operating costs was primarily a result of higher power, fuel, labor and m aintenance costs associated with increased production, and higher rates. In order to meet the substantial dem and for cement in coastal areas, Lone Star purchased increased quantities of cement and clinker from abroad.
Selling, general and administrative expenses declined as a percent of net sales from 10.0% in 1977 to 9.2% in 1978. These costs increased by $13.1 million, or 28.8% in 1978 from 1977, principally reflecting the effects o f increased sales activity.
Depreciation and depletion expense of $24.4 million in 1978 increased $2.9 million, or 13.3% from 1977. This increase resulted primarily from the increase in total depreciable assets for continuing operations from $522.8 mil lion in 1977 to $559.4 million in 1978.
Consolidated operating profits from continuing operations were $70.1 mil lion. an increase of $21.6 million or 44.5% from 1977, as sales increased at a greater rate than production costs. Operating profits for cement and related products increased $ 13.7 million and construction aggregates profits increased $8.4 million, as increased sales volumes and favorable unit prices more than off set higher costs for fuel, power, labor and maintenance.
Income taxes for continuing opera tions increased in 1978 to $7.2 million from $1.6 million in 1977 as a result of higher pre-tax earnings in 1978 and a higher effective tax rate. The higher effective tax rate is attributable to increased operating profits, which rose at a greater rate than percentage depletion and investment tax credits. Income from continuing operations of $30.4 million was 76.7% higher than 1977. The in crease is attributable to increased sales and operating profits, partially offset by higher income taxes.
Income from Building Centers opera tions, discontinued in 1979, increased $2.4 million or 19.2% in 1978 to $14.9 million. These results reflected increased sales and operating profits, due pri marily to strong markets in Southern Florida and Minneapolis-St. Paul, par tially offset by higher income taxes.
Lone Star's consolidated net income reached a record $45.4 million in 1978. a 52.9% increase over tne previous record set in 1977. This earnings gain was pri marily attributable to greater sales and operating profits in the com pany's cement and related products and con struction aggregates businesses, partially offset by higher income taxes.

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation--The financial statem ents include all sub sidiaries and joint ventures. Joint ventures and a domestic finance subsidiary are included on the equity method.
Marketable Securities are stated at the lower of cost or market.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost generally determined for manufacturing inventories on an average basis. The company determined the lower of cost or market for retail merchandise inventories of the discontinued Building Centers operations utilizing the retail method. Other discontinued operations'merchandise inventories, principally lumber, were valued on a first-in, first-out basis.
Real Estate Activities--Income from residential sales is recognized when homes are completed, title passes and the purchase price is received. Income from commercial real estate developm ent is recognized when the contract is signed, a substantial down payment is received and other income recognition criteria are satisfied. Costs attendant to land under developm ent are capitalized as part of the project.
Property, Plant and Equipment is stated at cost and depre ciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets on the straight-line method. Significant expenditures which extend the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to current earnings. Cost deple tion is calculated on the units o f production method. The cost of assets and the related accumulated depreciation are re moved from the accounts when such assets are disposed of, and any gains or losses are reflected in current earnings.
Income Taxes--Deferred federal income taxes are provided for timing differences between financial accounting and tax able income. Provision is m ade for appropriate taxes on the unremitted earnings ofjoint ventures and foreign subsidiaries, which are not considered to be permanently invested or restricted. Investment tax credits are recognized on the "flow through" method.
Pension Plans--The com pany and certain of its subsidiaries have various pension plans, the cost of which is computed on the basis of actuarial methods, with costs for service prior to the establishment or amendment of the plans amortized over twenty-five or thirty years. The com pany's policy is to fund pension cost accrued.
Income Per Common Share--Primary income per common share is based on the weighted average num ber of shares out standing in each year after providing for preferred dividends. Fully diluted income per common share assumes that pre ferred stock and convertible debentures had been converted and dilutive stock options had been exercised at the beginning of each year.
Foreign Exchange--The company translates cash, receivables and liabilities at year-end exchange rates and other accounts at historical rates of exchange. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year, except that inventories charged to cost o f sales and de preciation and depletion are translated at historical rates of exchange.
Capitalized Interest--The company capitalizes interest on in debtedness identifiable with certain capital projects under construction and interest attendant to real estate under devel opment. Such interest is subsequently amortized over the life of the projects when they become operational or is charged to expense when real estate is sold.
Cost in Excess of Net Assets of Businesses Acquired--The excess o f the cost of purchased businesses over the fair value of net assets at dates o f acquisition is amortized using the straight line method over periods not to exceed 40 years.
Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Lone Star Industries, Inc.:
We have examined the consolidated balance sheets of Lone Star Industries, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1979 and 1978, and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and changes in financial position for the years then ended. Our examinations were made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We did not examine the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries and joint venture which financial statements reflect total assets of 14% and 12% of the consolidated assets for 1979 and 1978, respectively, and total revenues of 15% and 18% of the consolidated revenues from continuing operations for 1979 and 1978, respectively. These financial statements were examined by other public accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us. O ur opinion expressed herein,
insofar as it relates to the amounts included for foreign sub sidiaries and joint venture, is based solely upon such reports.
In our opinion, based upon our examinations and the reports of other public accountants, the financial statements referred to above present fairly the consolidated financial position o f Lone Star Industries, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries at December 31, 1979 and 1978, and the consolidated results of their operations and changes in their financial position for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

1978 $ 26,433
28.288 50,000 20.000
28,500 24,974 $178,195
Sinking fund requirem ents to and including 1980 under th 4%% debenture agreem ent have been met by purchases in the open market. As of December 31, 1979, sinking fund require ments under the 514% debenture agreement were satisfied for approxim ately nine years by conversions and purchases in the open market. Sinking fund requirements for the 8% debentures begin in 1983.
The indentures relating to the debentures and certain of the notes and related agreements restrict the amount of payment of cash dividends, stock repurchases, and certain other activi ties.

15. Pension Plans Pension expense connected with the com pany's plans for 1979 and 1978 for continuing operations was approximately $8.100.000 and $6,600.000 respectively. The higher pension expense in 1979 resulted primarily from amendm ents to sev eral of the plans, which increased the level of benefits pro vided. The actuarially computed value of vested benefits for certain plans at 1980 valuation dates exceeded the total of the pension funds and accrued contributions by approximately $24.500.000.

In 1979, $3,780,000 was reclassified in the balance sheet from current income taxes payable to deferred income taxes pay able, reflecting the net effect o f prior years' tax filings, the dis position of Building Centers operations, income taxes on unremitted foreign earnings, and taxes not due currently.
A subsidiary has net operating loss carryforwards and investment tax credit carryforwards for federal income tax purposes from separate return taxable periods of approxi mately $1,700,000 and $6,200,000, respectively, which expire at various dates from 1980 to 1983 and are available for appli cation against future taxable income of the subsidiary. These carryforwards have been previously recognized for financial statement purposes.

17. Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited) Summ arized quarterly financial data for 1979 and 1978 appear on page 44 of this report.
18. Industry Segments and Geographic Areas Sales, operating profits, identifiable assets, capital expendi tures, and depreciation and depletion for the com pany's industry segment and geographic areas for the years ended December 31, 1979 and 1978, appear on pages 36- 37 of this report.
19. Litigation Beginning in late 1976, a series o f substantially similar class actions, now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona was brought against the Portland Cement Association and almost all United States cement pro ducers, including the company. Since 1976, additional, sub stantially similar class actions have been filed by a num ber of states and business entities in various Federal District Courts, and all of these have been, or are expected to be, consolidated for pretrial purposes in the Arizona Court. The company and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in most of these actions. All of the actions allege that a nationwide combina tion and conspiracy existed in violation o f the antitrust laws to fix, m aintain and stabilize cement prices from on or before 1958 to the dates of commencement of the various actions.
None of the actions alleges a specific am ount of damages, but they seek, in addition to other relief, money damages equal to treble the damages allegedly sustained by the plaintiffs. The actions have not progressed beyond the preliminary pretrial stage. The Arizona Court has certified the classes sought by plaintiffs to include purchasers of cement and cement contain ing products. Management denies that it has entered into any such alleged combination or conspiracy, believes that the alleged violations are without foundation and intends to vigorously contest all of the actions in which the company is involved. While the outcome of this litigation cannot be pre dicted with certainty, m anagem ent believes it should not have a material adverse effect on the com pany's financial position.
20. Discontinued Operations During 1979, the company disposed of its Building Centers operations. These operations included wholesale lumber dis tribution facilities, combination retail-contractor building materials outlets, and retail home care centers. Effective June 30, 1979, such operations have been reported as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the Consolidated Statement of Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Financial Position and the related notes thereto for 1978 have been re classified to present Building Centers as discontinued operations.
The net proceeds realized from the sale of the Building Centers operations through eight separate sale transactions to various purchasers were approximately $ 152,000,000. Build ing Centers operations accounted for net sales of $199,356,000 and $453,539,000 for the years ended December 31, 1979 and 1978, respectively.
21. Subsequent Events On February 26, 1980, the company reached an agreement with OKC Corp. for the acquisition o f O K C 's Pryor, Okla homa cement facility and certain land near Ocala, Florida for $87,300,000. Lone Star also is negotiating with OKC's lenders to borrow $38,500,000 at an interest rate of 12%% at the time of the closing. In addition, Lone Star agreed to purchase cer tain other assets including inventories substantially on a cost basis. The Pryor plant currently has a rated capacity of 450,000 tons of cement per year, and a nearly-completed expansion program will increase rated capacity to 725,000 tons. This acquisition, which is subject to certain regulatory and governm ental approvals, is scheduled for the first half of 1980 and will be accounted for as a purchase.
In 1980, the company expects to sell a portion of future pro duction for $50,000,000 from a limestone quarry located adjacent to one o f its cement plants and from the two lime stone quarries involved in the 1976 production payment as described in Note 10.

Supplemental Information on Effects of Changing Prices
(Unaudited)
tiring 1979, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement o f Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 33, which requires the company to report for the first time the effects o f changing prices on its business.
It must be recognized that at present the effects o f inflation and changing prices on a business enterprise cannot be quan tified with accuracy. The methods required by SFAS No. 33 are experimental in nature and will be refined as more experi ence is gained.

Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). Income from continuing operations "Adjusted for General Inflation" was derived by restating cost o f sales and depreciation and deple tion to dollars with purchasing power equivalent to the average purchasing power o f the dollar for the year ended December 31, 1979. All other elements o f revenue and expense were not required to be adjusted as they are consid ered to have been stated in average 1979 dollars in the pri mary financial statements.
The historical costs o f property, plant and equipment were restated into average 1979 dollars based on their year of acquisition and appropriate CPI-U. These revised amounts were used to calculate adjusted depreciation and depletion for the year. Depreciation and depletion were calculated using the same estimated useful lives, salvage values, and deprecia tion and depletion methods as used in the primary financial statements.
The purchasing power gain on net monetary liabilities results, since during periods o f inflation net monetary liabili ties will be paid off in dollars of diminished purchasing power. Monetary items are either claims to receive sums o f money or obligations to pay sums of money in amounts which are fixed or determinable without reference to future prices of specific goods or services.
Current Replacement Cost Information (Unaudited) Estimated current replacement cost information for invento ries and productive capacity as of December 31,1979 and 1978, and the related effects on cost o f sales and depreciation expense for the year are disclosed in the company's annual report on Form 10-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The information provided above presents historical informa tion which has been adjusted for changes in the general pur chasing power o f the dollar as measured by the Consumer
Each element presented in the table below is restated in dollars presumed to have the same general purchasing power using the average CPI-U for 1979. For example, assuming that the CPI-U reflects the declining purchasing power o f the dol-
lar, the data below indicate that the historically reported 1978 Net Sales and Other Income o f $643,685,000 is equivalent to $716,157,000 o f purchasing power in 1979 dollars,

The Securities and Exchange Commission cautions against simplistic use of the data presented and intentionally did not require the disclosure of the effect on net income of calculating cost of sales and depreciation on a current replacement cost basis because there are s ub s t a n t i a l t h e o r e t i c a l p r o b l e m s in d e t e r m i n i n g an i n c o m e e f f e c t a n d b e c a u s e it d i d not believe that users should be encouraged to collect the data into a single revised net income amount. Also, due to the subjective judgments and many different specific factual circumstances involved, the data will not be fully comparable among companies and will be subject to errors of estimation.

information presented above was
determined
in t h e
following
Inventories - The replacement cost of the company's merchandise inventories was estimated by a p p l y i n g an a p p r o p r i a t e w h o l e s a l e price index to historical amounts based on an
F-9
LSI(01/16/2018)_001511
estimated turnover rate. Estimates for replacement cost of manufactured inventories were determined by applying an estimated unit cost per ton, updated where necessary f o r y e a r - e n d p r i c e s , to t he n u m b e r o f u n i t s in e n d i n g i n v e n t o r y , a n d by a d j u s t i n g d e p r e c i a t i o n i n c l u d e d in i n v e n t o r y to a r e p l a c e m e n t c o s t basis. T h e r e p l a c e m e n t cost of other inventories, including supplies and fuel, was estimated by applying prevailing year-end prices to materials purchased frequently during the year and an appropriate commodities price index to other items based on an estimated turnover rate.
Property, Plant and Equipment - The replacement cost of productive capacity was e s t i mated assuming that present productive capacity would be replaced at December 31, 1979 a nd 1978 at t he lowest a m o u n t that w o u l d h a v e to be paid in the normal c o u r s e of business to obtain a new asset of equivalent operating or productive capability, incorporating the latest available technological advances that the company would find e c o n o m i c a l l y j u s t i f i a b l e . In t h o s e i n s t a n c e s w h e r e t h e e x i s t i n g p l a n t w o u l d be r e placed with a larger, more economical unit, the replacement cost was based upon the cost of the larger unit scaled down to present plant capacity.
The estimated replacement cost of the productive capacity of the company's domestic c e m e n t p l a n t s , t w o p l a n t s in A r g e n t i n a a n d a p l a n t in U r u g u a y , w a s d e r i v e d f r o m d a t a compiled by the Portland Cement Association and adapted to each location by engineering e s t i m a t e s . R e p l a c e m e n t cost for t he p r o d u c t i v e c a p a c i t y o f the tw o c e m e n t p l a n t s in Brazil (1978 only) were based on a recent engineering estimate for a new plant currently u n d e r c o n s t r u c t i o n in Brazil. E s t i m a t e d r e p l a c e m e n t c o s t s for o t h e r m a n u f a c t u r i n g assets were obtained primarily by a reengineering of present facilities incorporating latest technology and applying vendor quotations and price lists for 1978 and indexed to 1979 cost levels by applying an industrial commodity price index. For 1978, the replacement cost of the company's merchandising facilities was determined by applying an e s t i m a t e d c o s t p e r s q u a r e f o o t c o n s i d e r i n g g e o g r a p h i c d i f f e r e n c e s in c o n s t r u c t i o n costs to the n u m b e r o f square feet estimated to be required to support the present volume of business. Replacement cost for various other assets was estimated on the basis of current market prices or by applying an appropriate wholesale price index to historical costs based on the year of acquisition.
Allowance for Depreciation - The allowance for depreciation related to replacement c o s t of^ e x i s t i n g p r o d u c t i v e c a p a c i t y w a s e s t i m a t e d b y t h e r e l a t i o n s h i p o f e x p i r e d service lives to total service lives of existing facilities applied to the estimated replacement cost of such productive capacity. The asset lives were not adjusted to reflect technological improvements.
Real Estate for Development and Sale - The replacement development and sale was based on the estimated market of real estate at the same stage of development.
cost of real e s t a t e for prices for equivalent parcels
Cost of Sales - Replacement cost of estimated by applying an applicable incurring inventory costs and their during the year.
sales (exclusive of depreciation expense) was price index to the average time lags between subsequent conversions into sales revenues
F-10
LSI(01/16/2018)_001512
Depreciation Expense - Replacement cost depreciation expense was calculated on the straight-line method using the historical depreciation rates for existing facilities, exclusive of fully depreciated assets, applied to the average estimated replacement cost of productive capacity. The replacement cost of fully depreciated assets still in u s e at D e c e m b e r 31, 1979 a n d 197 8 is a p p r o x i m a t e l y $ 3 3 5 m i l l i o n a n d $331 m i l l i o n , respectively. If these assets w e r e still b e i n g d e p r e c i a t e d , the related re p l a c e m e n t cost depreciation expense would be approximately $22 million higher for both 1979 and 1978 based on the composite depreciation rate for productive capacity, exclusive of fully depreciated assets.
The replacement cost for South American inventories and productive capacity was c o m p u t e d in t h e local c u r r e n c y a n d t r a n s l a t e d at y e a r - e n d e x c h a n g e r a t e s e x c e p t f o r p r o d u c t i v e c a p a c i t y o f t h e A r g e n t i n e c e m e n t p l a n t w h i c h w a s c o m p u t e d in dollars using estimates provided by the Portland Cement Association. The re p l a c e m e n t c o s t o f S o u t h A m e r i c a n c o s t s a n d e x p e n s e s w a s c o m p u t e d in t h e local currency and translated at the average exchange rate for the year.
T h e g r o s s a n d n e t b o o k v a l u e o f c o s t s c a p i t a l i z e d in t h e a c q u i s i t i o n , e x p l o r a t i o n and development of mineral properties as of December 31, 1979 was $12.8 million and $8.1 million, respectively. The gross and net book value of these costs as o f D e c e m b e r 3 1 , 1 9 7 8 w a s $ 1 1 . 7 mi 11 i on a n d $ 9 . 6 m i l l i o n , r e s p e c t i v e l y . T h e estimated replacement cost of these assets has been excluded from the replacement c o s t d a t a s i n c e s u c h d a t a is not r e q u i r e d by the S e c u r i t i e s an d E x c h a n g e C o m m i s s i o n . Total c o s t s i n c u r r e d in 1979 in the a c q u i s i t i o n , e x p l o r a t i o n an d d e v e l o p m e n t o f mineral properties was approximately $5.0 million of which $1.6 million was expensed currently. The company estimates the future cost to acquire mineral properties will i n c r e a s e at a r a t e s l i g h t l y h i g h e r t h a n i n f l a t i o n in f u t u r e y e a r s .
The estimated replacement cost data does not reflect any operating cost savings which may result from the replacement of existing assets with new assets of improved technology. Alt h o u g h these antic i p a t e d cost savings cannot be a c c u r a t e l y quantified, the company estimates that the current level of operating costs, other than depreciation, would be substantially reduced and that the annual operating c o s t s a v i n g s , p r i n c i p a l l y in fuel a n d l abor costs, w o u l d be a p p r o x i m a t e l y $69 million and $73 million at December 31, 1979 and 1978, respectively.
The estimated replacement cost information also does not reflect the effect of inflation and other economic factors on other elements of the company's financial statements and does not recognize the customary relationships between cost changes a n d c h a n g e s in s e l l i n g p rices. H o w e v e r , the c o m p a n y p u r s u e s a p o l i c y o f i n c r e a s i n g its s a l e s pri c e s , w h e r e f e a s i b l e , as p r o d u c t i o n c o s t s i n c r e a s e in o r d e r to m a i n t a i n its profit margins.
