trusts established for the benefit of certain children and grandchildren of

Harold C. Simmons (the "Trusts"), of which Mr. Simmons is the sole trustee,

or is held by Mr. Simmons or persons or entities related to Mr. Simmons. As

sole trustee of the Trusts, Mr. Simmons has the power to vote and direct the

disposition of the shares of Contran stock held by the Trusts. Mr. Simmons

disclaims beneficial ownership of all Contran shares that the Trusts hold.



 Harold C. Simmons is the chairman of the board of each of the issuer,

Valhi, TIMET, VHC, Dixie Rice and Contran and the chairman of the board and

obligations as they come due.  Pursuant to the terms of the CDCT, Contran (i)

retains the power to vote the shares of Valhi's common stock held directly by

the CDCT, (ii) retains dispositive power over such shares and (iii) may be

deemed the indirect beneficial owner of such shares.



 By virtue of the holding of the offices, the stock ownership and his

services as trustee, all as described above, (a) Harold C. Simmons may be

deemed to control such entities and (b) Mr. Simmons and certain of such

entities may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of shares

directly held by certain of such other entities. However, Mr. Simmons

disclaims such beneficial ownership of the shares beneficially owned directly
