NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 -BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The consolidated balance sheet of Valhi, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company") at December 31, 1995 has been condensed from the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The
consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 1996 and the consolidated statements
of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the interim periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1996 have been prepared by the Company, without audit.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been
made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for a full year or of future operations.
Certain information normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or
omitted, and prior period statements of operations have been reclassified to
present the results of operations of Medite Corporation as discontinued
operations. See Note 12. The accompanying consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1995 (the "1995 Annual Report"). Commitments and
contingencies are discussed in Note 12, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Legal Proceedings" and the 1995
Annual Report.
The Company's 55%-owned chemicals subsidiary, NL Industries, Inc.,
separately reported a stockholders' deficit of approximately $199 million at
September 30, 1996 and, accordingly, no minority interest in NL is reported in
the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Until such time as NL reports
positive stockholders' equity, all undistributed income or loss and other
changes in NL's reported stockholders' equity will accrue to the Company for
financial reporting purposes.
Contran Corporation holds, directly or through subsidiaries, approximately
91% of Valhi's outstanding common stock.
NOTE 2 -EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE:
Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation because
they are either antidilutive or the dilutive effect is not material.
NOTE 3 -BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION-CONTINUING OPERATIONS:

NOTE 12 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In September 1996, Medite Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Valcor,
announced that it had signed three separate Letters of Intent involving the sale
of substantially all of its assets for total cash consideration of approximately
$230 million, subject to certain adjustments, plus the assumption of
approximately $20 million of foreign debt. The first transaction, the sale of
Medite's timber and timberlands, closed in October 1996 for approximately $118
million cash consideration, of which approximately $53 million of the cash
proceeds were used to pay off and terminate Medite's U.S. bank credit
facilities. Medite has executed a definitive agreement for the second
transaction involving the sale of Medite's Irish subsidiary, and that
transaction is expected to close by the end of November. The third transaction,
involving the sale of Medite's Oregon medium density fiberboard ("MDF") and
timber conversion facilities, is subject to completion of a definitive
agreement, and Medite currently expects to close that transaction by the end of
1996. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements present Medite's
results of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Upon consummation of all three transactions, the Company expects to report an
aggregate pre-tax gain on disposal of discontinued operations of approximately
$100 million.
Condensed statements of operations for Medite are presented below.

Medite's 1996 results include a first quarter pre-tax restructuring charge
of $24 million based upon the estimated costs of permanently closing its New
Mexico MDF plant. Approximately $15 million of such charge represented non-cash
costs, most of which related to the net carrying value of property and equipment
in excess of estimated net realizable value. These non-cash costs were deemed
utilized upon adoption of the closure plan. Approximately $9 million of the
charge represented workforce, environmental and other estimated cash costs
associated with closure of this facility, of which $2 million had been paid at
September 30, 1996. On August 1, 1996, Medite completed the sale of
substantially all of the building and equipment of the New Mexico facility for
$5.5 million cash, which approximated the previously-estimated net realizable
value.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
The Company reported a loss from continuing operations of $6.9 million, or
$.06 per share, for the third quarter of 1996 compared to income of $12.2
million, or $.11 per share, in the third quarter of 1995. For the first nine
months of 1996, income from continuing operations was $8.9 million, or $.08 per
share, compared to $32.8 million, or $.29 per share, in the first nine months of
1995. NL expects average TiO2 prices in the fourth quarter to be below the
third quarter average and, as a result, the Company currently expects to report
a fourth quarter loss from continuing operations.
Discontinued operations represent the results of operations of Medite
Corporation, and in 1996 includes a $15 million first quarter after-tax charge
related to the closure of Medite's New Mexico MDF operations. See Note 12.
The statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relating to matters
that are not historical facts, including, but not limited to, statements found
in this `Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations,' are forward looking statements that involve a number of
risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual future results to
differ materially from those expressed in such forward looking statements
include, but are not limited to, future supply and demand for the Company's
products (including cyclicality thereof), general economic conditions,
competitive products, customer and competitor strategies, the impact of pricing
and production decisions, environmental matters, government regulations and
possible changes therein, the ultimate resolution of pending litigation and
possible future litigation and completion of pending asset/business unit
dispositions.

$ 45.2 $ 14.1 -69% $134.2 $ 81.5 -39%
Kronos' operating income in 1996 declined primarily due to lower average
TiO2 selling prices. Kronos' average TiO2 selling prices for the third quarter
of 1996 were 15% lower than the third quarter of 1995 and 6% lower than the
second quarter of this year. Selling prices at the end of the third quarter of
1996 were 15% lower than at the end of 1995. While TiO2 prices declined, demand
for TiO2 has grown. Kronos' third quarter sales volumes increased 17% compared
with the third quarter of 1995, with improved volumes worldwide. Sales volumes
for the first nine months of 1996 were 3% higher than the comparable period in
1995 primarily due to improved sales volumes in the U.S. Rheox's year-to-date
1996 results include a $2.7 million first quarter gain related to the reduction
of certain U.S. employee pension benefits.
A significant amount of NL's sales are denominated in currencies other than
the U.S. dollar, and fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to
other currencies decreased the dollar value of sales in the first nine months of
1996 by approximately $7 million compared to 1995.
The Company's purchase accounting adjustments made in conjunction with the
acquisitions of its interest in NL result in additional depreciation, depletion
and amortization expense beyond amounts separately reported by NL. Such
additional non-cash expenses reduce chemicals operating income, as reported by
Valhi, by approximately $20 million annually as compared to amounts separately
reported by NL.

Average sugar selling prices for the third quarter of 1996 were up 6%
compared to the 1995 third quarter and were up 4% for the 1996 nine-month
period. Sales volumes were down 22% in the third quarter and down 11% year-to-
date due to a smaller crop. Sugar sales volumes during the fourth quarter of
1996 are expected to be below last year's record levels. By-product sales are
lower in 1996 due primarily to the lower size of the crop and implementation of
certain recently-completed productivity improvement capital projects which
result in less by-product volumes generated from the refined sugar production
process.
Sugarbeet purchase cost is the largest cost component of producing refined
sugar and the price paid for sugarbeets is, under the terms of contracts with
the sugarbeet growers, a function of the average net selling price of
Amalgamated's refined sugar. As a result, changes in sugar selling prices
impact sugarbeet purchase costs as well as revenues and serve as a partial hedge
against changing prices. An increased extraction rate, in part due to the
productivity improvement capital projects, along with a higher sugar content of
the beets has resulted in a lower beet cost per hundredweight of sugar produced,
lower aggregate sugar processing costs and improved FIFO-based earnings in 1996
compared with 1995. However, the impact of related LIFO inventory adjustments
can significantly affect operating income and margin comparisons relative to
FIFO-basis comparisons.
Harvesting and processing of the crop planted in the spring of 1996 is in
process. Based on limited harvest results to date, sugar production from the
new crop is expected to approximate that of the prior crop.
In August 1996, Amalgamated signed a new four-year collective bargaining
agreement with the American Federation of Grain Millers International. The new
contract provides for, among other things, wage rate increases of 2% to 3% per
year.

Comparable store sales, up slightly during the third quarter of 1996,
increased 2% in the first nine months of 1996. Operating income and margins
also improved due to successful promotions, reduced training and recruiting
costs associated with the slower rate of opening new stores in 1996 and the
closure of certain under-performing stores.
A significant portion of Sybra's restaurant employees work on a part-time
basis and are paid at rates related to the minimum wage rate. Restaurant labor
costs currently approximate 29% of sales. The two-step, 90-cent increase in the
minimum wage rate which became effective October 1, 1996 will increase Sybra's
labor costs. Sybra concurrently implemented certain price increases to offset
the impact of the wage rate increase. In addition, Sybra believes agricultural
market factors may result in higher beef costs in the relatively near future.
Although Sybra's competitors would likely experience similar increases, there
can be no assurance that further increases in sales prices can be implemented to
offset future increases in these costs.
Sybra operated 150 restaurants at September 30, 1996, and may close one or
more additional under-performing stores by the end of the year. One store is
under construction which is expected to open in the first quarter of 1997.
The Company is considering various strategic alternatives with respect to
this increasingly competitive business, including possible disposition of one or
more regions. No assurance can be given that any such transactions will be
consummated.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
Construction of Waste Control Specialists' (`WCS'') facility in West Texas
for the processing, treatment, storage and disposal of certain hazardous and
toxic wastes continues. WCS reported a loss of $4 million in the first nine
months of 1996 and expects to continue to report losses during its development
stage. The facility is planned to be ready to accept wastes governed by The
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (`RCRA'') and the Toxic Substances
Control Act (`TSCA'') in early 1997.
OTHER
General corporate expenses. Net general corporate expenses are lower in
1996 due primarily to lower provisions for environmental remediation costs. In
addition, net corporate expenses in 1996 include a $2.8 million second quarter
litigation settlement gain and a $2.3 million third quarter gain on disposition
of an Amalgamated grain facility.
Interest expense. Interest expense declined due primarily to lower average
variable interest rates. At September 30, 1996, approximately $680 million of
consolidated indebtedness, principally publicly-traded debt, bears interest at
fixed rates averaging 10.9%. The weighted average interest rate on $564 million
of outstanding variable rate borrowings at September 30, 1996 was 5.6%, down
from 6.4% at December 31, 1995 and 7.4% at year-end 1994.
Minority interest. Minority interest in earnings in 1996 consists
principally of NL dividends paid to stockholders other than Valhi. Based on the
continuing decline in TiO2 selling prices during the third quarter and the
current TiO2 industry pricing outlook, NL's Board of Directors suspended its
regular quarterly dividends in the fourth quarter of 1996.
Provision for income taxes. Income tax rates vary by jurisdiction, and
relative changes in the geographic mix of the Company's pre-tax earnings can
result in fluctuations in the effective income tax rate. In addition, because
certain subsidiaries, including NL, are not members of the consolidated U.S. tax
group, Valhi's incremental income taxes on its after-tax earnings or losses
attributable to such subsidiaries can also increase the Company's overall
effective tax rate. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Discontinued operations. Discontinued operations represent the results of
operations of Medite Corporation. See Note 12.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
Cash flows from operating activities. Cash flows from operating activities
before changes in assets and liabilities in the first nine months of 1996
declined $66 million from the same period in 1995, generally reflecting the
decline in earnings. Changes in assets and liabilities include the impact of
significant fluctuations related to Amalgamated's seasonal purchase and
processing of sugarbeets, as discussed below.
Cash flows from investing and financing activities. Capital expenditures
for all of 1996 are estimated to approximate $94 million, down from $115 million
in 1995 in large part due to completion of certain productivity projects at
Amalgamated during 1995.
During the first nine months of 1996, Valhi purchased an additional $13
million of NL common stock, Rheox acquired the minority interest in its non-U.S.
subsidiaries for $5 million and, as scheduled, Valhi contributed $10 million to
Waste Control Specialists.
Borrowings in 1996 include DM 95 million ($64 million) under NL's DM credit
facility used primarily to fund NL's operations and $10 million under Valhi's
short-term credit facilities used to purchase NL common stock. NL borrowed DM
49 million ($32 million) in October 1996 under the DM credit facility to fund
the German income tax settlement payments described below. Repayments of
indebtedness in both periods include scheduled principal payments under NL,
Amalgamated and Medite bank term loans, reductions in short-term, non-U.S. NL
credit facilities and seasonal decreases in Amalgamated's short-term borrowings.
Credit facilities. At September 30, 1996, unused credit available under
existing credit agreements (excluding Medite) aggregated $208 million, including
$124 million attributable to NL. Of such NL amount, $82 million is available
only for (i) permanently reducing NL's DM term loan or (ii) paying future NL
German income tax assessments, as discussed below. In October 1996, NL's
borrowing availability to pay German income tax assessments under the DM credit
facility was reduced by $32 million, as described above. Valhi has not
guaranteed any subsidiary indebtedness.
NL Industries. The TiO2 industry is cyclical, and changes in economic
conditions within the TiO2 industry can significantly impact NL's earnings and
operating cash flows. During the first nine months of 1996, declining TiO2
selling prices unfavorably impacted NL's operating income and cash flows from
operations comparisons with 1995. Relative changes in NL's assets and
liabilities (excluding the effect of foreign currency translation), including
relative changes in NL's portfolio of marketable trading securities, used $11
million of net cash in the first nine months of 1996 compared to using $37
million in the first nine months of 1995, primarily due to TiO2 production
curtailments and higher sales volumes which reduced inventory levels during
1996.
Average TiO2 selling prices began a downward trend in the last half of
1995, and NL expects the trend to continue at least for the remainder of the
year. NL expects TiO2 prices will begin to increase during 1997. However, no
assurance can be given that price trends will conform to NL's expectations, and
future cash flows will be adversely affected should price trends be lower than
NL's expectations. NL is engaged in discussions with its lenders to modify the
repayment terms and covenants of certain of its indebtedness and to refinance
certain other indebtedness.
Certain of NL's U.S. and non-U.S. income tax returns are being examined and
tax authorities have or may propose tax deficiencies. NL has reached an
agreement with the German tax authorities regarding examinations which resolve
certain significant tax contingencies for years through 1990. NL has received
certain final assessments and expects to pay tax deficiencies of approximately
DM 49 million ($32 million at September 30, 1996), including interest, in the
fourth quarter of 1996 in final settlement of the agreed issues. Certain other
German tax contingencies remain outstanding and will continue to be litigated.
Although NL believes that it will ultimately prevail, NL has granted a DM 100
million lien on its Nordenham, Germany TiO2 plant in favor of the German tax
authorities until the litigation is resolved. No assurance can be given that
this litigation will be resolved in NL's favor in view of the inherent
uncertainties involved in court rulings. NL believes that it has adequately
provided accruals for additional income taxes and related interest expense which
may ultimately result from all such examinations and believes that the ultimate
disposition of such examinations should not have a material adverse effect on
its consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
NL has been named as a defendant, PRP, or both, in a number of legal
proceedings associated with environmental matters, including waste disposal
sites currently or formerly owned, operated or used by NL, many of which
disposal sites or facilities are on the U.S. EPA's Superfund National Priorities
List or similar state lists. On a quarterly basis, NL evaluates the potential
range of its liability at sites where it has been named as a PRP or defendant.
NL believes it has provided adequate accruals ($114 million at September 30,
1996) for reasonably estimable costs of such matters, and has estimated that the
upper end of the range of reasonably possible costs to NL for sites for which it
is possible to estimate costs is approximately $175 million. NL's estimates of
such liabilities have not been discounted to present value, and NL has not
recognized any potential insurance recoveries. No assurance can be given that
actual costs will not exceed accrued amounts, or the upper end of the range for
sites for which estimates have been made, and no assurance can be given that
costs will not be incurred with respect to sites as to which no estimate
presently can be made. NL is also a defendant in a number of legal proceedings
seeking damages for personal injury and property damage arising out of the sale
of lead pigments and lead-based paints. Although no assurance can be given that
NL will not incur future liability in respect of this litigation, based on,
among other things, the results of such litigation to date, NL believes that the
pending lead pigment and paint litigation is without merit. NL has not accrued
any amounts for the pending lead pigment and paint litigation. Liability that
may result, if any, cannot reasonably be estimated. In addition, various
legislation and administrative regulations are, from time to time, enacted or
proposed at the state, local and federal levels seeking to impose various
obligations on present and former manufacturers of lead pigment and lead-based
paint with respect to asserted health concerns associated with the use of such
products and to effectively overturn court decisions in which NL and other
pigment manufacturers have been successful. NL currently believes the
disposition of all claims and disputes, individually or in the aggregate, should
not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position,
results of operations or liquidity. There can be no assurance that additional
matters of these types will not arise in the future.
NL periodically evaluates its liquidity requirements, alternative uses of
capital, capital needs and availability of resources in view of, among other
things, its debt service and capital expenditure requirements and estimated
future operating cash flows. As a result of this process, NL has in the past
and may in the future seek to reduce, refinance, repurchase or restructure
indebtedness, raise additional capital, modify its dividend policy, restructure
ownership interests, sell interests in subsidiaries or other assets, or take a
combination of such steps or other steps to manage its liquidity and capital
resources. In the normal course of its business, NL may also review
opportunities for acquisitions or other business combinations in the chemicals
industry. In the event of any such transaction, NL may consider using its
available cash, issuing its equity securities or increasing its indebtedness to
the extent permitted by the agreements governing NL's existing debt.
Amalgamated. Cash requirements are seasonal in that a major portion of the
total payments for sugarbeets is made, and the cost of processing the sugarbeets
is incurred, in the fall and winter of each year. Accordingly, Amalgamated's
operating activities typically use significant amounts of cash in the first and
fourth calendar quarters and provide significant cash flow in the second and
third quarters of each year. These seasonal cash requirements are financed with
short-term borrowings under the government sugar price support loan program and
bank credit agreements.
Waste Control Specialists. Estimated capital expenditures to complete
construction of the initial 100,000 cubic yards of landfill airspace capacity
and related infrastructure of the new facility in West Texas are approximately
$12 million and are expected to be incurred during the remainder of 1996 and the
first half of 1997. Such capital expenditures, along with its expected
development stage operating losses, will be funded primarily from Valhi's $25
million of capital contributions ($15 million funded through September 30,
1996). WCS does not expect to begin to generate revenues from its existing RCRA
and TSCA permits until early 1997.
Valhi general corporate. Valhi's operations are conducted principally
through subsidiaries and affiliates (NL Industries, Amalgamated, Valcor and
Waste Control Specialists). Valcor is an intermediate parent company with
operations conducted through its subsidiaries (Medite, CompX International and
Sybra). Accordingly, the Company's long-term ability to meet its corporate
level obligations is dependent in large measure on the receipt of dividends or
other distributions from subsidiaries. Suspension of NL's regular quarterly
dividend will result in approximately $2.6 million per quarter lower net cash
flow from NL to Valhi, but is not currently expected to materially impact
Valhi's financial position or liquidity. Various credit agreements to which
subsidiaries are parties contain customary limitations on the payment of
dividends, typically a percentage of net income or cash flow; however, such
restrictions have not significantly impacted the Company's ability to service
parent company obligations. Neither Valhi nor Valcor has guaranteed any
indebtedness of their respective subsidiaries.
Valhi's remaining $10 million commitment to invest in Waste Control
Specialists ($5 million contributed in October 1996 and $5 million to be
contributed in early 1997) will be provided primarily by cash on hand or through
available credit facilities. At September 30, 1996, Valhi has two bank credit
facilities aggregating $65 million, of which $55 million was available for
borrowing. Of such available amount, $5 million can only be used to purchase
shares of NL common stock. In August 1996, one of the two facilities ($50
million) was extended one year to August 1997.
The after-tax proceeds following the disposition of Medite, net of
repayment of Medite's U.S. bank debt, will be available for Valcor's general
corporate purposes, subject to compliance with certain restrictions contained in
the Valcor Senior Note Indenture. Also under the terms of the Indenture, Valcor
is required to tender for a portion of the Valcor Notes, at par, to the extent
that a specified amount of these proceeds are not used to either permanently
paydown senior indebtedness of Valcor or its subsidiaries or invest in related
businesses, both as defined in the Indenture, within one year of disposition.
If none of the proceeds from the disposition of Medite are so used, a
substantial portion of the Valcor Notes would be subject to a tender offer.
In May 1996, Valhi entered into a nonbinding Letter of Intent with Snake
River Sugar Company regarding the possible transfer of control of Amalgamated's
sugar business, on a tax deferred basis, for consideration of approximately $250
million. Snake River is an agricultural co-op, formed by sugarbeet growers in
Amalgamated's area of operation, to effect the proposed transaction. The Letter
of Intent, as supplemented, includes basic terms of alternative forms of a
transaction and is subject to significant conditions including, among other
things, negotiation and completion of a definitive agreement and Snake River
raising funds necessary to complete a transaction. There can be no assurance
that any transaction will be consummated. The net cash to Valhi from the
proposed transaction, if completed, would be available for Valhi's general
corporate purposes.
The Company routinely compares its liquidity requirements and alternative
uses of capital against the estimated future cash flows to be received from its
subsidiaries, and the estimated sales value of those units. As a result of this
process, the Company has in the past and may in the future seek to raise
additional capital, refinance or restructure indebtedness, repurchase
indebtedness in the market or otherwise, modify its dividend policy, consider
the sale of interests in subsidiaries, affiliates, business units, marketable
securities or other assets, or take a combination of such steps or other steps,
to increase liquidity, reduce indebtedness and fund future activities. Such
activities have in the past and may in the future involve related companies.
The Company routinely evaluates acquisitions of interests in, or
combinations with, companies, including related companies, perceived by
management to be undervalued in the marketplace. These companies may or may not
be engaged in businesses related to the Company's current businesses. The
Company intends to consider such acquisition activities in the future and, in
connection with this activity, may consider issuing additional equity securities
and increasing the indebtedness of the Company, its subsidiaries and related
companies. From time to time, the Company and related entities also evaluate
the restructuring of ownership interests among their respective subsidiaries and
related companies. In this regard, the Indentures governing the publicly-traded
debt of NL and Valcor contain provisions which limit the ability of NL, Valcor
and their respective subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or hold
noncontrolling interests in business units.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Reference is made to the 1995 Annual Report and prior 1996 quarterly
periodic reports for descriptions of certain legal proceedings.
A hearing on the plaintiff's appeal in the previously-reported matter of
Alan Russell Kahn v. Tremont Corporation, et al. is scheduled for December 1996.
In September 1996, the court heard the defendants' motion for partial
summary judgment in the previously-reported case American Federation of Grain
Millers International, et al. v. Valhi, Inc., et al.
In September 1996, a complaint was filed in the Superior Court of New
Jersey, Bergen County, Chancery Division (Frank D. Seinfeld v. Harold C.
Simmons, et al., No. C-336-96) against Valhi, NL and certain current and former
members of NL's board of directors. The complaint, a derivative action on
behalf of NL, alleges, among other things, that NL's August 1991 `Dutch
auction' tender offer was an unfair and wasteful expenditure of NL's funds.
The complaint seeks, among other things, to rescind NL's purchase of
approximately 10.9 million shares of its common stock from Valhi pursuant to the
Dutch auction. The Company believes, and understands each of the other
defendants believe, the complaint is without merit and that each intends to
defend the action vigorously.
Ritchie v. NL Industries, et al. (Circuit Court of Marshall County, West
Virginia, No. 96-C-179M). In September 1996, NL was served with a complaint
filed in West Virginia state court that seeks compensatory and punitive damages
for alleged personal injury caused by lead paint and asserts causes of action
against NL and five other former manufacturers of lead pigment for negligence,
strict liability, breach of warranty, fraud, conspiracy, market share liability
and alternative liability. In October 1996, defendants removed the case to
federal court and filed motions to dismiss.
The City of New York, et al. v. Lead Industries Association, Inc., et al.
(No. 89-4617). In September 1996, defendants' request for permission to appeal
was denied.
Skipworth v. Sherwin-Williams Co., et al. (No. 92-3069). Oral argument was
held in this matter in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in October 1996.
Wright, et al. v. Lead Industries Association, Inc., et al. (Nos. 94-
363042 and 94-363043). In September 1996, the remaining defendants' motion for
summary judgment was granted. Plaintiffs have appealed as to all defendants.
Gates v. American Cyanamid Co., et al. (I1996-2114). In July 1996, NL
filed an answer denying plaintiff's allegations.
Hines v. Gates, et al. (96-616161). In July 1996, plaintiffs voluntarily
dismissed the complaint without prejudice.
NL Industries, Inc. v. Commercial Union Insurance Cos., et al. NL is
seeking interlocutory appellate review of the previously-reported ruling
regarding contribution.
Granite City, Illinois smelter. In August 1996, the district court denied
Granite City's and the PRP's motion for a temporary restraining order and
preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the U.S. EPA from proceeding with the
residential component of the cleanup.
Wagner, et al. v. Anzon, Inc. and NL Industries, Inc. (No. 87-4420). In
September 1996, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania affirmed the judgment of the
jury verdict for NL. Plaintiffs have filed an application for reargument in the
Superior Court, which NL has opposed. The application is pending before the
Superior Court.
