ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On February 26, 1997, Centex Eagle Gypsum Company, a Delaware
corporation ("Buyer Sub 1"), and CEGC Holding Company, a Delaware corporation
("Buyer Sub 2"), both wholly owned subsidiaries of Centex Construction
Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("CXP"), completed the acquisition of
all of the Common Units of Centex Eagle Gypsum Company, L.L.C., a Delaware
limited liability company ("Newco"), owned by Eagle-Gypsum Products, a Colorado
joint venture ("EGP"), and National Energy Systems, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("NES").  The acquisition was consummated pursuant to a Limited
Liability Company Unit Purchase Agreement (EGP), dated as of December 5, 1996,
among Centex American Gypsum Company, a New Mexico corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of CXP ("CAGC"), Buyer Sub 1, and EGP, and a Limited Liability
Company Unit Purchase Agreement (NES), dated as of December 5, 1996, among
CAGC, Buyer Sub 2, and NES.  Prior to the consummation of this transaction, EGP
and NES contributed to Newco (i) all of EGP's assets and business used or
utilizable in connection with EGP's gypsum wallboard plant located in Gypsum,
Eagle County, Colorado, including EGP's gypsum mines located in close proximity
to such plant, and (ii) NES's cogeneration power facility located at the EGP
plant, respectively.  Through Newco, CXP expects to continue to operate the
gypsum plant and the cogeneration facility for the foreseeable future.

         Buyer Sub 1 and Buyer Sub 2 acquired 1,000 Common Units of Newco
(representing all of Newco's equity interests) for a purchase price of $52
million, plus EGP's net working capital (amounting to approximately $4 million).

         To fund payment of the purchase price of Newco's Common Units, CXP, on
behalf of Buyer Sub 1 and Buyer Sub 2, used (i) internally available cash
amounting to approximately $52 million and (ii) funds amounting to $4 million
provided by CXP's $10 million unsecured revolving credit facility with The
First National Bank of Chicago.

         In arriving at the purchase price paid by Buyer Sub 1 and Buyer Sub 2
for the Common Units of Newco, Buyer Sub 1 and Buyer Sub 2 calculated a range
of values for the equity interests in Newco and the values of the underlying
assets after a substantial due diligence review of such equity interests and
assets by CXP and CAGC personnel.  After extensive arm's-length negotiations,
CAGC, Buyer Sub 1, Buyer Sub 2, EGP, and NES entered into the applicable
definitive unit purchase agreements.

5 6 [ERNST & YOUNG LLP LETTERHEAD] Report of Independent Auditors The Venturers Eagle-Gypsum Products We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Eagle-Gypsum Products (a joint venture) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations, joint venturers' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the joint venture's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eagle-Gypsum Products at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming Eagle-Gypsum Products will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the joint venture has incurred recurring operating losses and has a capital deficiency. Also as discussed in Note 7, the joint venture contributed its gypsum wallboard manufacturing facility and related assets to a limited liability company and sold its ownership interest in the limited liability company on February 26, 1997. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the joint venture's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP February 14, 1997, except for Note 7, as to which the date is February 26, 1997 6 7 Eagle-Gypsum Products (A Joint Venture) Balance Sheets

See accompanying notes. 12 13 Eagle-Gypsum Products (A Joint Venture) Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1996 and 1995 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES GENERAL Eagle-Gypsum Products (the "Venture") was formed in 1989 for the purpose of owning and operating a gypsum mine and for the purpose of constructing, owning, and operating a gypsum wallboard plant. Eagle Investment Group Limited Partnership ("EIG") and Eagle-Gypsum, Ltd. ("LTD"), collectively referred to as the Venturers, entered into an asset contribution agreement in June 1988. Under the terms of the asset contribution agreement, as amended and restated, and under the terms of the related joint venture agreement, EIG contributed $1,000,000 of its notes receivable from LTD for a 73 2/3% interest in the Venture and LTD contributed substantially all of its assets, net of certain liabilities, for a 26 1/3% interest in the Venture. As of October 4, 1990, the date that the bank called a $9,000,000 letter of credit from EIG (see Note 2), EIG's partnership interest increased to 94.4%. As of February 26, 1991, the date of the refinancing of the construction loan, $1,000,000 of the note payable to EIG was converted to equity (see Note 2). The equity contributions to the Venture have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. EIG contributed the $2,000,000 described above for its equity interest. LTD's contribution was valued at $357,466 based on the percentage relationship of the 26 1/3% interest acquired by LTD in relation to the 73 2/3% interest acquired by EIG. The total contributions were allocated to the assets and liabilities of the Venture based upon the estimated fair values of those assets and liabilities as of the effective date of the formation of the Venture. The cost assigned to mine rights represents the excess of purchase price over the fair market value of other assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. The principal business activities of the Venture began on November 1, 1990 as the wallboard plant was substantially complete and significant sales activity commenced. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Venture will continue as a going concern. The Venture has incurred operating losses of $5,202,509 and $5,884,569 in 1996 and 1995, respectively, and has negative venturers' equity of $56,398,737 at December 31, 1996. Also as discussed in Note 7, the venture 13 14 Eagle-Gypsum Products (A Joint Venture) Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) contributed its gypsum wallboard manufacturing facility and related assets to a limited liability company and sold its ownership interest in the limited liability company on February 26, 1997. These considerations raise substantial doubt about the Venture's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. CAPITALIZATION OF PREACQUISITION, DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION COSTS The Venture capitalized into property, plant and equipment, and into other assets, those costs related to the preacquisition, development and construction of the Venture's wallboard plant, and development costs related to the gypsum mine including interest capitalized through November 1, 1990. Amortization and depreciation of these costs began on November 1, 1990. These assets are fully amortized as of December 31, 1995. AMORTIZATION AND DEPRECIATION Organization costs were amortized on a straight-line basis over five years. Loan costs were amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related loan. Property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of such assets, which are considered to range from 3 to 20 years. INVENTORY VALUATION Raw materials and finished goods inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis. 14 15 Eagle-Gypsum Products (A Joint Venture) Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) INCOME TAXES No provision is made for income tax expense or benefit since the income or loss of the Venture is included in the income tax returns of the Venturers. STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS The Venture considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash paid for interest was $2,907,277 in 1996 and $2,929,654 in 1995. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Venture sells to customers in the residential and nonresidential construction industry primarily in the western United States. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR YEAR BALANCES Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. LONG-LIVED ASSETS During 1996, the Venture adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of ("SFAS No. 121"), which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indications of impairment are present. The effect of adoption was not material. 15 16 Eagle-Gypsum Products (A Joint Venture) Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 2. NOTES PAYABLE TO BANK AND RELATED PARTIES On March 31, 1989, the Venture entered into a construction loan agreement with a bank which provided for maximum borrowings of $45,000,000. On September 30, 1990, the construction loan matured. The construction of the plant was not fully completed at that point in time, nor was there a takeout financing instrument in place. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the construction loan was due and payable. The construction loan was partially secured by a $9,000,000 letter of credit provided by EIG. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the bank drew against the letter of credit for the entire $9,000,000, reducing the total construction loan available to $36,000,000. As a result of the bank liquidating the $9,000,000 EIG letter of credit, and by virtue of the joint venture agreement, the Venture had a note payable to EIG at December 31, 1990 of $9,212,266 which included interest accrued and accreted since the date the letter of credit was liquidated. On February 26, 1991, the Venture completed a financing agreement with the bank, EIG and related parties to restructure its construction and working capital debt. The financing agreement allows the Venture to capitalize interest on its senior and junior subordinated loans. Mandatory annual prepayments on the term loans are required beginning December 31, 1991 to the extent of excess available cash, as defined. On September 21, 1992, the Venture completed a modification to the terms of the financing agreement, which had been completed on February 26, 1991, that allows the Venture to capitalize interest on its senior term loans and allows certain portions of its 16 17 Eagle-Gypsum Products (A Joint Venture) Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 2. NOTES PAYABLE TO BANK AND RELATED PARTIES (CONTINUED) co-generation services purchase commitment to be paid in the form of promissory notes. The following is a summary of the Venture's debt as of December 31, 1996 and 1995:
DECEMBER 31 1996 1995 ---------------------------- Loans with bank: Senior term loan $24,154,938 $24,295,881 Senior subordinated term loan 11,880,953 10,821,481 Junior subordinated term loan 12,158,336 11,022,396 Working capital revolving loan ($5,000,000 maximum) -- -- Loans with EIG and related companies: Senior term loan 16,847,994 16,949,307 Senior term notes 2,310,808 1,923,146 Senior subordinated term loan 7,128,574 6,502,278 Junior subordinated term loan 6,220,127 5,647,530 ----------- ----------- 80,701,730 77,162,019 Less current portion 43,313,740 -- ----------- ----------- $37,387,990 $77,162,019 =========== ===========
LOANS WITH BANK The senior term loan payable to the bank of $24,154,938 is secured by substantially all the assets of the Venture. The interest rate is either the Bank's reference rate (not to be less than 9% or more than 11%) or the Bank's Eurodollar rate (not to be less than 6% or more than 9%) plus 1/2%. During 1996, the Venture made interest payments quarterly or, in the case of Eurodollar loans, at the end of the Eurodollar loan period.
