		Strong, low cost position. Eagle Materials’ four cement plants in Illinois, Nevada, Texas and Wyoming have a rated annual capacity of nearly 3.1 million tons per year (our Texas plant is operated through a 50/50 joint venture). We expect fiscal 2008 (ending March 31, 2008) to be our 22nd consecutive “sold-out” year. Our low cost position allows Eagle to have an operating margin that is currently greater than 20%. During fiscal 2007, we completed construction of a major modernization and expansion of our Illinois Cement plant. We could not be more pleased with the outcome and effort of all parties involved – Eagle Materials construction and engineering management, general contractors, equipment suppliers, design engineers and training consultants. Careful planning and execution by all resulted in a safe, fast transition from a 1970’s vintage operation into a very sophisticated, technically complex operation steadily producing above design capacity. The expansion project at Illinois Cement increased our annual cement capacity by approximately 430,000 tons to nearly 3.1 million tons. We also made considerable progress during fiscal 2007 in design, engineering and permitting for the expansion and modernization of our Nevada and Mountain Cement plants. Permits are anticipated to be received during the first half of fiscal 2008 with construction to commence soon thereafter. Combined, the two plants are expected to add nearly 1 million tons of cement production capacity to our existing production capacity. In both of these markets, we have been selling low-margin imported cement in advance of the expansions to minimize the impact to our markets. Once these modernization and expansion projects are completed, we will have a truly outstanding portfolio of cement assets with approximately 4.0 million tons of annual cement production capacity. All four of our cement plants will be extremely energy efficient and will be appropriately sized for the markets in which they compete.
