("Valhi").



     Titanium Metals Corporation ("TIMET") is the sole stockholder of TFMC. VHC, Harold C. Simmons' spouse, the CMRT, Harold C. Simmons, NL Industries, Inc. ("NL"), Valhi and the Foundation are the holders of 26.6%, 12.1%, 8.5%, 4.0%, 0.8%, 0.5% and 0.2%, respectively, of the outstanding common stock of TIMET.

As sole trustee of each of the Trusts, Mr. Simmons has the power to vote and direct the disposition of the shares of Contran stock held by each of the Trusts.

     By virtue of the offices held, the stock ownership and his services as trustee, all as described above, (a) Mr. Simmons may be deemed to control certain of such entities and (b) Mr. Simmons and certain of such entities may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of, and a pecuniary interest in, shares of common stock directly held by certain of such other entities. However, Mr. Simmons disclaims such beneficial ownership of, and such pecuniary interest in, such shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any of such entities, except to the extent of his vested beneficial interest, if any, in the shares the CMRT holds directly.
