                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 -       Basis of presentation:

     The consolidated balance sheet of CompX International Inc. and Subsidiaries
(collectively,  the  "Company") at December 31, 2000 has been condensed from the
Company's  audited   consolidated   financial   statements  at  that  date.  The
consolidated  balance sheet at June 30, 2001 and the consolidated  statements of
income,  comprehensive  income,  stockholders'  equity  and cash  flows  for the
interim  periods ended June 30, 2000 and 2001 have been prepared by the Company,
without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of
normal  recurring  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 accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United States of America
has  been  condensed  or  omitted.  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, 2000 (the "2000 Annual Report").

     Basic earnings per share of common stock is based upon the weighted average
number of  common  shares  actually  outstanding  during  each  period.  Diluted
earnings per share of common stock includes the impact of  outstanding  dilutive
stock options.

     Commitments and contingencies are discussed in "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations"  and the 2000 Annual
Report.

     The  Company  is  69%  owned  by  Valhi,   Inc.  (NYSE:  VHI)  and  Valhi's
wholly-owned  subsidiary Valcor,  Inc. Contran  Corporation  holds,  directly or
through  subsidiaries,  approximately 93% of Valhi's  outstanding  common stock.
Substantially  all of  Contran's  outstanding  voting  stock  is held by  trusts
established for the benefit of certain  children and  grandchildren of Harold C.
Simmons, of which Mr. Simmons is sole trustee.  Mr. Simmons, the Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive Officer of each of Contran,  Valhi and Valcor,  may be
deemed to control such companies and the Company.

     The Company adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")
No. 133,  Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities,  as
amended,  effective  January 1, 2001.  Under SFAS No. 133, all  derivatives  are
recognized  as either  assets or  liabilities  and  measured at fair value.  The
accounting  for changes in fair value of  derivatives  depends upon the intended
use of the derivative,  and such changes are recognized  either in net income or
other comprehensive income. As permitted by the transition  requirements of SFAS
No. 133, as amended, the Company has exempted from the scope of SFAS No. 133 all
host contracts  containing  embedded  derivatives  which were issued or acquired
prior to January 1, 1999.  Other than certain currency  forward  contracts,  the
Company  was not a party to any  significant  derivative  or hedging  instrument
covered by SFAS No. 133 during the first six months of 2001.  The accounting for
such currency forward  contracts under SFAS No. 133 is not materially  different
from the  accounting  for such  contracts  under  prior  accounting  rules,  and
therefore the impact to the Company of adopting SFAS No. 133 was not material.

Note 8 - Foreign currency forward contracts:

     Certain of the Company's  sales  generated by its non-U.S.  operations  are
denominated in U.S.  dollars.  The Company  periodically  uses currency  forward
contracts  to manage a portion of foreign  exchange  rate risk  associated  with
receivables  denominated  in a  currency  other  than  the  holder's  functional
currency.  At each balance sheet date,  any such  outstanding  currency  forward
contracts are  marked-to-market  with any resulting  gain or loss  recognized in
income currently.  These contracts are not accounted for as hedging  instruments
under SFAS No. 133. At December 31, 2000,  the Company held  contracts to manage
such  exchange  rate risk to exchange an aggregate  of U.S.  $9.1 million for an
equivalent  amount of Canadian  dollars at an exchange  rate of Cdn.  $1.482 per
U.S.  dollar.  Such contracts  matured through March 2001. At June 30, 2001, the
Company did not hold any such contracts.

Note 9 - Accounting principles not yet adopted:

     The Company will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 141, Business  Combinations,  for all business combinations  initiated on or
after July 1, 2001, and all purchase business combinations completed on or after
July 1, 2001.  Under SFAS No. 141,  all  business  combinations  initiated on or
after  July 1,  2001  will be  accounted  for by the  purchase  method,  and the
pooling-of-interests method will be prohibited.

     The Company will adopt SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible  Assets,
effective January 1, 2002. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill will not be amortized on
a periodic  basis,  but  instead  will be subject  to an  impairment  test to be
performed at least  annually.  Under the transition  provisions of SFAS No. 142,
goodwill existing as of June 30, 2001 will cease to be periodically amortized as
of January 1, 2002, but any goodwill arising in a purchase business  combination
completed on or after July 1, 2001 would not be periodically  amortized from the
date of such  combination.  The Company  would have  reported net income of $7.4
million,  or $.49 per  diluted  share,  in the first  six  months of 2001 if the
goodwill amortization included in the Company's net income, as reported, had not
been recognized.

MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overview

     The Company  reported net income of $2.7  million in the second  quarter of
2001, a decrease of 62% from net income of $7.1  million for the second  quarter
of 2000. The Company reported net income of $6.4 million in the first six months
of 2001, a 53% decrease from net income of $13.6 million in the first six months
of 2000.

Results of Operations

     Net sales.  Net sales decreased $11.8 million,  or 18%, to $53.4 million in
the second quarter of 2001 from $65.1 million in the second quarter of 2000. For
the first six months of 2001,  net sales of $113.0  million  decreased  14% when
compared to net sales of $131.2  million  for the first six months of 2000.  The
decrease is  principally  due to  decreased  demand for the  Company's  products
resulting from continued weak economic conditions in the manufacturing sector in
North America and Europe,  and the negative  effects of fluctuations in currency
exchange rates. Net sales of slide products  decreased 29% and 21% for the three
and six month  periods ended June 30, 2001 compared to the same periods in 2000,
with sales of security  products  decreasing 15% and 12% for the same comparable
periods.  For the three and six month  periods  ending June 30,  2001,  sales of
ergonomic  products  increased 6% and 3% over the  corresponding  periods of the
prior year due primarily to increased European sales.

     Operating  income.  Operating income in the second quarter of 2001 was $5.3
million compared to $11.5 million for the second quarter of 2000, decreasing 54%
from the second quarter of 2000. As a percentage of net sales,  operating income
was 10% for the second quarter of 2001 compared to 18% for the second quarter of
2000.  For the first six months of 2001,  operating  income was 11% of net sales
compared to 17% of net sales for the first six months of 2000. For the first six
months  of 2001,  operating  income  decreased  $10.1  million,  or 45% to $12.1
million.  Reductions in manufacturing fixed costs beginning in the first quarter
of 2001,  partially offset the effect of the decline in net sales. Despite these
cost  reductions,  operating income margins for the second quarter and first six
months of 2001 as  compared  to the second  quarter and first six months of 2000
were  adversely  impacted by the decline in volume levels and the related impact
on manufacturing efficiencies, the effects of changes in the sales mix and, to a
lesser extent, pricing pressures from foreign-based manufacturers.

     CompX has  substantial  operations  and assets  located  outside the United
States (principally in Canada, the Netherlands and Taiwan). A portion of CompX's
sales generated from its non-U.S. operations are denominated in currencies other
than the U.S. dollar,  principally the Canadian dollar,  the Dutch guilder,  the
euro and the New Taiwan dollar.  In addition,  approximately  60% of CompX's net
sales generated from its Canadian operations are denominated in the U.S. dollar.
Most  raw  materials,  labor  and  other  production  costs  for  such  non-U.S.
operations are  denominated  primarily in local  currencies.  Consequently,  the
translated U.S. dollar value of CompX's foreign sales and operating  results are
subject  to  currency  exchange  rate   fluctuations   which  may  favorably  or
unfavorably   impact  reported   earnings  and  may  affect   comparability   of
period-to-period  operating  results.  During the second  quarter  and first six
months of 2001,  currency exchange rate fluctuations of the Canadian dollar, the
New  Taiwan  dollar  and  the  euro  negatively  impacted  the  Company's  sales
comparisons with the  corresponding  periods of the prior year (principally with
respect  to slide  products),  decreasing  net sales by 2% in each of the second
quarter and first six months of 2001.  Currency  exchange rate fluctuations with
respect to the Canadian dollar, the euro and other currencies did not materially
impact  operating  income  comparisons in 2001 as compared to the  corresponding
periods of the prior year.

     Outlook.  The current weak economic  cycle is expected to continue and will
resultantly  have a  negative  impact on the  Company's  sales.  Therefore,  the
Company  continues  implementing  various  cost control  initiatives,  including
ongoing  company-wide  headcount  rationalization  efforts and operational  cost
improvements. These cost reduction measures are designed to minimize the adverse
effect of lower sales and more  favorably  position the Company when the economy
recovers. Nevertheless, the Company remains concerned regarding the duration and
severity  of the weak  economic  cycle and its overall  impact on the  Company's
business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  Consolidated cash flows

     Operating  activities.  Trends in cash  flows  from  operating  activities,
excluding changes in assets and liabilities, are generally similar to the trends
in the  Company's  earnings.  Such cash flows  totaled  $19.8  million and $14.5
million in the first six months of 2000 and 2001, respectively,  compared to net
income of $13.6 million and $6.4 million, respectively.

     Changes  in assets  and  liabilities  result  primarily  from the timing of
production,  sales  and  purchases.  Such  changes  in  assets  and  liabilities
generally  tend to even out over time and  result in trends in cash  flows  from
operating activities generally reflecting earnings trends.

     Investing  activities.  Net cash used by investing activities totaled $19.4
million and $7.0 million in the first six months of 2000 and 2001, respectively.
Investing  activities in the first six months of 2000 included $9.5 million used
to acquire substantially all of the operating assets of Chicago Lock Company. No
such business acquisitions occurred in the first six months of 2001.

     The capital  expenditures for 2001 relate  primarily to capacity  expansion
and tooling costs at the Company's  facilities and equipment  additions designed
to improve  manufacturing  efficiencies at the Company's  security  products and
ergonomic  and slide  products  facilities.  Capital  expenditures  for 2001 are
estimated at approximately  $13 million the majority of which relate to projects
that emphasize improved  production  efficiency.  Firm purchase  commitments for
capital projects not commenced at June 30, 2001 were not material.

     Financing  activities.  Net cash provided by financing  activities  totaled
$6.4  million  and $2.0  million  in the  first  six  months  of 2000 and  2001,
respectively. The Company paid its regular quarterly dividend of $1.9 million or
$.125 per share,  in each of the first and second  quarters of 2001. The Company
also used $2.7 million to reacquire  approximately 260,000 shares of its Class A
common stock.  Borrowings  under the Company's  unsecured  revolving bank credit
facility were increased by a net amount of $10.0 million. The Company repaid its
short-term  bank  borrowing  denominated  in New Taiwan dollars during the first
quarter of 2001 and  borrowed  and repaid an  additional  $900,000 of New Taiwan
dollar short-term bank borrowings in the second quarter of 2001.

     In July 2001, the Company's board of directors authorized the repurchase of
up to 500,000 shares of its common stock in open market or  privately-negotiated
transactions at unspecified prices and over an unspecified period of time.

     Management  believes  that cash  generated  from  operations  and borrowing
availability under the Company's  unsecured  revolving bank credit facility ($51
million  available for borrowing at June 30, 2001),  together with cash on hand,
will be sufficient to meet the Company's  liquidity  needs for working  capital,
capital expenditures, debt service and dividends for the foreseeable future.

     The Company periodically evaluates its liquidity requirements,  alternative
uses of capital,  capital needs and available  resources in view of, among other
things, its capital  expenditure  requirements in light of its capital resources
and estimated  future  operating  cash flows.  As a result of this process,  the
Company  may in the  future  seek to  raise  additional  capital,  refinance  or
restructure  indebtedness,  issue  additional  securities,  modify its  dividend
policy,  repurchase  shares of its common  stock or take a  combination  of such
steps to manage its  liquidity  and capital  resources.  In the normal course of
business,  the Company may review opportunities for acquisitions,  divestitures,
joint  ventures  or  other  business  combinations  in  the  component  products
industry.  In the event of any such transaction,  the Company may consider using
available  cash,   issuing   additional  equity  securities  or  increasing  the
indebtedness of the Company or its subsidiaries.

     As  provided  by the  safe  harbor  provisions  of the  Private  Securities
Litigation  Reform Act of 1995, the Company cautions that the statements in this
Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q relating to matters that are not historical facts
are  forward-looking   statements  that  represent   management's   beliefs  and
assumptions based on currently available information. Forward-looking statements
can be  identified  by the use of words such as  "believes,"  "intends,"  "may,"
"should," "anticipates," "expected" or comparable terminology, or by discussions
of strategies  or trends.  Although the Company  believes that the  expectations
reflected in such forward-looking  statements are reasonable, it cannot give any
assurances that these expectations will prove to be correct.  Such statements by
their  nature   involve   substantial   risks  and   uncertainties   that  could
significantly  impact expected  results,  and actual future results could differ
materially from those described in such  forward-looking  statements.  Among the
factors  that could cause actual  future  results to differ  materially  are the
risks and  uncertainties  discussed in this Quarterly Report and those described
from  time to time in the  Company's  other  filings  with  the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  While it is not  possible to identify  all  factors,  the
Company  continues  to face many  risks  and  uncertainties  including,  but not
limited to,  future  supply and demand for the  Company's  products,  changes in
costs of raw materials and other operating costs (such as energy costs), general
global economic and political conditions,  demand for office furniture,  service
industry  employment levels,  the possibility of labor disruptions,  competitive
products and prices,  substitute products,  customer and competitor  strategies,
the  introduction  of trade  barriers,  the  impact of  pricing  and  production
decisions,  fluctuations  in the  value of the  U.S.  dollar  relative  to other
currencies  (such as the euro and Canadian  dollar),  potential  difficulties in
integrating completed  acquisitions,  uncertainties  associated with new product
development,  environmental  matters  (such  as  those  requiring  emission  and
discharge standards for existing and new facilities), government regulations and
possible  changes  therein,  possible  future  litigation  and  other  risks and
uncertainties.   Should  one  or  more  of  these  risks   materialize  (or  the
consequences of such a development worsen), or should the underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those forecasted or
expected.  The Company  disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly
or revise such statements whether as a result of new information,  future events
or otherwise.
