Administrative Committee
Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan of Centex Construction Products, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan of Centex Construction Products, Inc. as of December 31, 2001, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2001, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan
of Centex Construction Products, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2001
1. Description of the Plan
The following description of the Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan of Centex Construction Products, Inc. (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plans provisions.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution retirement plan covering eligible employees of Centex Construction Products, Inc. (the Company or CXP) and eligible employees of certain subsidiaries of the Company, which have adopted the Plan with the Companys consent. The Company and the certain subsidiaries collectively comprise the Participating Employers. The Plan is administered by an Administrative Committee (the Committee) appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company. Centex Corporation owns approximately 65% of the outstanding common stock of CXP.
Eligible employees participate in profit sharing on the earlier of January 1 or July 1 after completing one year of service, as defined. All employees of Participating Employers are eligible to participate provided the employee is not a member of a group or class of employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement unless such agreement extends the Plan to such group or class of employees. One year of service, for purposes of eligibility, is defined as the 12 consecutive month period during which the employee worked 1,000 hours, ending on the first anniversary of the employees date of hire or the end of any Plan year thereafter.
Effective November 10, 2000, employees of certain legal entities of Republic Group LLC (Republic), which were acquired by CXP, became eligible to participate in the Plan.
Contributions
The Plan permits participants to contribute up to 15% of their compensation (up to a statutory limit) to a 401(k) account upon the date of hire. The Plan also permits participant voluntary (after-tax) contributions of up to 10% of compensation, as defined. Total additions to a participants account are limited to a maximum of 25% of compensation (up to a maximum of $35,000) for 401(k) contributions, Participating Employers contributions, and voluntary (after-tax) contributions on a combined basis.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Contributions (continued)
Employer discretionary profit sharing contributions are made by the Participating Employers as determined by their respective Boards of Directors. They are allocated to participant accounts on a pro rata basis determined by each participants length of service and salary. Employer nondiscretionary matching contributions for eligible employees of Republic are allocated to participant accounts based on a percentage of each participants eligible contributions. Forfeitures may be used to reduce employer matching contributions, employer profit sharing contributions, or administrative expenses of the Plan. Forfeitures of $58,485 were used to reduce employer contributions and pay administrative fees for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Participants direct the investment of their accounts into various Registered Investment Company funds or the CXP Stock Fund (the CXPSF). Another fund, the Centex Common Stock Fund (the CCSF), exists for those employees who chose to retain their balance in this fund upon transfer of all of their balances from the Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan of Centex Corporation to the Plan. No additional contributions to the CCSF are permitted.
Participants may allocate up to 15% of employer and participant (before- and after-tax) contributions to the CXPSF, whereas up to 100% may be allocated to any other investment option (except the CCSF) offered by the Plan.
Vesting
After two years of service, a participant is vested in 10% of Participating Employer contributions and related earnings. Participants vest an additional 10% after three years of service and 20% for each additional year of service after that. A participant is fully vested after seven years of service or upon retirement, full and permanent disability, or death. Participants are always fully vested in their 401(k) and voluntary contributions and related earnings.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Loans
Certain active participants may borrow up to 50% of the vested portion of their accounts with Committee approval, but only for specific uses, as defined, not in excess of $50,000. Former employees of Republic may borrow up to 50% of the vested portion of their accounts for any reason, not in excess of $50,000. Loans are collateralized by participant accounts. Such loans bear interest at a rate that approximates market rates and are generally repayable to the Plan within five years. Interest rates ranged from 6.50% to 11.00% at December 31, 2001.
Administrative Expenses
Certain administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company. The Plan is not required to reimburse the Company for any administrative expenses paid by the Company. Expenses not paid by the Company are paid by the Plan.
Plan Termination
Although there is no intention to do so, the Company has the right to discontinue contributions and terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan provides that, in the event of termination, participants will become fully vested in their Participating Employer contributions, and the method of distribution of assets will be in accordance with the provisions of ERISA.
Reclassification
Certain 2000 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2001 presentation.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.
Valuation of Investments
The Centex Master Trust (the Master Trust) holds the assets of the Plan, as well as the assets of other plans sponsored by CXP and Centex Corporation (Affiliate Plans.) The Plan and Affiliate Plans have an undivided interest in the Master Trust.
Investments included in the Master Trust are valued at fair value. The registered investment company shares are valued based on published market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Shares of the CXPSF and the CCSF are valued at the quoted market price in an active market. Participant loans receivable and short-term investments are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
Purchases and sales of investments made by the Trustee are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The Master Trust allocates investment income to the Plan based on the Plans ownership interest in Master Trust assets. Investment income is then allocated to participants on a pro rata basis. Administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001, include Trustee and recordkeeper fees. Fund management fees are charged directly to the Master Trust and therefore are included in the net change in fair market value of investments. Administrative expenses are allocated on a pro rata basis to the Plan and Affiliated Plans.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.

4. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) dated January 9, 1996, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to the issuance of this determination letter, the Plan was amended. The Plan has applied for but has not received a new determination letter from the IRS. However, the plan administrator believes that the Plan is being operated in compliance with applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.
5. Related Party Transactions
Certain Plan investments are shares of registered investment companies managed by the Trustee and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.
6. Reconciliation to Form 5500
As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Plan had $5,135 and $2,968, respectively, of pending distributions to participants who elected to withdraw from the Plan.
