a)   On April 4, 1994 Lone Star Industries, Inc. made public
disclosure of the following by a press release for immediate
release:

     Stamford, Connecticut, April 4, 1994 --- Lone Star
     Industries, Inc. (NYSE/LCE) announced today that it now
     expects that its Plan of Reorganization will become
     effective on April 13, 1994.  Upon effectiveness, the
     Company's old common stock and preferred stock will be
     cancelled and the Company, through its distribution
     agent,  will begin to distribute cash and securities to
     the holders of allowed claims and new common stock and
     warrants to holders of its old equity.

     The Company previously announced that there would be a
     short delay on effectiveness of its Plan of
     Reorganization, originally scheduled for March 29,
     1994, due to additional time required for regulatory
     approvals and for completion of the paperwork involved
     in the documentation contemplated by its Plan of
     Reorganization.

     Lone Star Industries, Inc. is a leading producer of
     cement, ready-mixed concrete, sand and gravel, crushed
     stone, and other construction materials.


b)   On April 7, 1994 Lone Star Industries, Inc. made public
disclosure of the following by a press release for immediate
release:

     Stamford, Connecticut, April 7, 1994 -- Lone Star
     Industries, Inc. (NYSE/LCE) announced today that the
     Bankruptcy Court overseeing its reorganization
     proceedings has approved a settlement of the claims of
     Liberty Mutual Insurance Company.  Pursuant to the
     settlement, Liberty Mutual will be granted allowed
     unsecured claims aggregating approximately $16.9
     million.  In addition, Lone Star will receive
     approximately $6.6 million in cash from certain other
     parties with respect to insurance premiums, which will
     be added to the cash to be distributed to creditors
     promptly after the Effective Date of Lone Star's
     Reorganization Plan, presently scheduled for April 13,
     1994.

     The Company also announced today that it presently
     anticipates that on the Effective Date of its Plan,
     allowed unsecured claims will aggregate approximately
     $538.5 million.  In addition, on the Effective Date, a
     reserve of approximately $44.7 million for unresolved
     claims will be established.  The Company presently
     estimates that when all disputed claims are resolved,
     the total amount of allowed unsecured claims should not
     exceed approximately $576.1 million plus $2.2 million
     of allowed cash convenience claims.  The increase in
     the total unsecured claims from the $571.5 million
     estimate in the Company's Disclosure Statement largely
     relates to the settlement with Liberty Mutual described
     above and is compensated for by the approximately $6.6
     million in cash to be received with respect to
     insurance premiums from other parties for distribution
     to unsecured creditors.

     A total of approximately $192.3 million in cash is
     expected to be distributed to unsecured creditors
     (other than convenience creditors) along with $78
     million of senior notes of reorganized Lone Star, $138
     million of secured notes of the liquidating corporation
     (to be paid out of the proceeds from the sale of assets
     transferred to the liquidating corporation), and
     approximately 85% of the common equity of reorganized
     Lone Star.  In addition, allowed unsecured convenience
     claims of $5,000 or less will receive 100% of their
     claim in cash.

     Pursuant to the Company's Reorganization Plan, holders
     of Lone Star preferred stock would receive their pro
     rata share of 10.5% of the common equity of reorganized
     Lone Star and 1.25 million warrants to purchase common
     stock in the reorganized Lone Star.  The present
     holders of common stock of Lone Star would receive the
     balance of the reorganized Company's common equity and
     2.8 million warrants to purchase common stock in the
     reorganized Lone Star.  The warrants to be issued to
     the preferred and common shareholders would be
     exercisable through December 31, 2000 and would provide
     for the purchase of shares of the common stock of
     reorganized Lone Star at a price of $18.75 a share.

     Lone Star Industries, Inc. is a producer of cement,
     ready-mixed concrete, sand and gravel, crushed stone,
     and other construction materials.


c)   On April 8, 1994 Lone Star Industries, Inc. made public
disclosure of the following by a press release for immediate
release:

     Stamford, Connecticut, April 8, 1994 --- Lone Star
     Industries, Inc. (NYSE/LCE) announced today that a
     three judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals
     for the Fourth Circuit had vacated a December 1992
     judgement in the case brought by Lone Star and certain
     of its subsidiaries against Lafarge Corporation and
     Lafarge Canada, Inc., seeking damages on account of the
     sale by a subsidiary of Lafarge Canada of allegedly
     defective cement to a Lone Star subsidiary which had
     used the cement to manufacture concrete crossties.  The
     case against Lafarge had been brought as a result of
     damage actions brought against Lone Star by a number of
     railroads complaining that concrete crossties sold to
     them were defective.  The railroads' actions were
     settled before trial by Lone Star for approximately $66
     million.

     The case against Lafarge involved Lone Star's claim for
     reimbursement for those damages, its costs in the
     railroad actions and lost profits because of the damage
     to its crosstie business caused by the defective
     crossties.

     After a trial in the United States District Court in
     Baltimore, a jury found Lone Star was entitled to
     recovery from Lafarge on its claims of fraudulent
     misrepresentation, breach of express warranty, breach
     of warranty of fitness for a particular purpose and
     negligence, and awarded Lone Star $1,213,000 damages
     for its direct lost profits.  As to Lone Star's claim
     for that portion of its damages growing out of the
     settlements with the railroads and its cost of
     litigation, the jury found that Lone Star was not
     entitled to be indemnified for such matters by Lafarge. 
     Lone Star appealed the denial of its full damages.

     The Fourth Circuit decision vacated the judgement in
     the District Court on the grounds that the jury should
     have been allowed to consider awarding full damages to
     Lone Star on a basis other than indemnification and
     remanded the case to the District Court for retrial. 
     In addition, the Appeals Court held that Lone Star
     should be allowed to amend its complaint against
     Lafarge to include a claim under Massachusetts law
     which, among other things, could result in the doubling
     or trebling of any damages due it from Lafarge.

     Lone Star said it was pleased with the Circuit Court's
     ruling and expected that as a result it would obtain
     significant damages from Lafarge.

     Lone Star Industries, Inc. is a producer of cement,
     ready-mixed concrete, sand and gravel, crushed stone,
     and other construction materials.
d)   On April 14, 1994 Lone Star Industries, Inc. made public
disclosure of the following by a press release for immediate
release:

     Stamford, Connecticut, April 14, 1994 --- Lone Star
     Industries, Inc. (NYSE/LCE) announced that the
     Effective Date of the Company's Plan of Reorganization
     originally scheduled for April 13 had occurred today. 
     The one day delay was required to complete the
     paperwork and documentation required by the Plan of
     Reorganization.  As a result, the Company's old common
     stock and preferred stock will be cancelled and the
     books of the transfer agent will be closed at the end
     of business today.  As soon as practicable, the
     Company, through its distribution agent, will begin to
     distribute cash and securities to the holders of
     allowed claims and new common stock and warrants to the
     holders of its old equity.

     Allowed unsecured claims now total $538.5 million.  In
     addition, a reserve of $42.7 million for disputed
     claims has been established.  The Company now estimates
     that when all disputed claims are resolved, the total
     amount of allowed unsecured claims should not exceed
     approximately $575.8 million plus $2.2 million of
     allowed cash convenience claims (claims of $5,000 or
     less which are being paid in cash).

     A total of $190.7 million in cash will be distributed
     to unsecured creditors (other than holders of
     convenience claims) along with $78 million of ten year
     10% senior notes of reorganized Lone Star, $138 million
     of 10% secured asset proceed notes maturing on July 31,
     1997 of a liquidating corporation set up by Lone Star
     to hold assets which are being sold, and 85% of the
     common equity of reorganized Lone Star.

     The holders of Lone Star preferred stock will receive
     their pro rata share of 10.5% of the common equity of
     reorganized Lone Star and 1.25 million of seven year
     warrants to purchase common stock in the reorganized
     Lone Star.  The present holders of common stock of Lone
     Star will receive the balance of the reorganized
     Company's common equity and 2.8 million of the warrants
     to purchase common stock in the reorganized Lone Star. 
     The warrants to be issued to the preferred and common
     shareholders will be exercisable through December 31,
     2000 and will provide for the purchase of shares of the
     common stock of reorganized Lone Star at a price of
     $18.75 a share.

     It is expected that tomorrow, April 15, the new common
     stock warrants and 10% Senior Notes will begin trading
     on the New York Stock Exchange on a "when issued"
     basis.  The symbol for Lone Star Industries, Inc. will
     continue to be LCE.  The "when issued" trading symbols
     for the new securities will be:  common stock - LCE WI;
     common stock warrants - LCE WS WI; and 10% Senior Notes
     - LCE 03 WI.

     A company spokesperson said that the reorganized Lone
     Star will be a smaller, more efficient domestic cement,
     aggregates and concrete company, operating with a
     manageable capital structure, and capable of competing
     effectively in the construction markets served by the
     Company.

     Lone Star Industries, Inc. is a producer of cement,
