- -	Additional Information

The reporting person may also be deemed to own indirectly and
beneficially the following shares of common stock, par value $.01
per share, of the issuer (see below for a description of how the
reporting person is related to the following direct holder):

(1)	1,261,850 shares directly held by Tremont LLC ("Tremont").

Tremont, The Combined Master Retirement Trust (the "CMRT"), Harold
C. Simmons' spouse, Contran Corporation ("Contran") and Valhi,
Inc. ("Valhi") are the holders of approximately 39.7%, 9.0%, 4.0%,
2.9% and 1.2% of the outstanding common stock of the issuer.  The
ownership of Mr. Simmons' spouse is based on the 1,000,000 6 5/8%
Convertible Preferred Securities, Beneficial Unsecured Convertible
Securities of TIMET Capital Trust 1 (the "BUCS") that she directly
owns, which are convertible into 133,900 shares of the issuer's
common stock. The ownership of Contran is based on the 700,000
BUCS that Contran directly owns, which are convertible into 93,730
shares of the issuer's common stock.  The percentage ownership of
the issuer's common stock by Valhi is based on 35,200 shares of
the issuer's common stock that Valhi directly holds and the 1,968
shares of the issuer's common stock that Valhi may acquire upon
conversion of the 14,700 BUCS Valhi directly holds.  The
percentage ownership of the issuer's common stock held by Mr.
Simmons' spouse, Contran and Valhi assumes the full conversion of
only the BUCS owned by Mr. Simmons' spouse, Contran and Valhi,
respectively.

Valhi is the direct holder of 100% of the outstanding membership
interests of Tremont.  Valhi Group, Inc. ("VGI"), National City
Lines, Inc. ("National"), Contran Corporation ("Contran"), the
Harold Simmons Foundation, Inc. (the "Foundation"), the Contran
Deferred Compensation Trust No. 2 (the "CDCT No. 2") and the CMRT
are the direct holders of 77.6%, 9.1%, 2.9%, 1.3%, 0.4% and 0.1%,
respectively, of the common stock of Valhi.  National, NOA, Inc.
("NOA") and Dixie Holding Company ("Dixie Holding") are the direct
holders of approximately 73.3%, 11.4% and 15.3%, respectively, of
the outstanding common stock of VGI.  Contran and NOA are the
direct holders of approximately 85.7% and 14.3%, respectively, of
the outstanding common stock of National.  Contran and Southwest
Louisiana Land Company, Inc. ("Southwest") are the direct holders
of approximately 49.9% and 50.1%, respectively, of the outstanding
common stock of NOA.  Dixie Rice Agricultural Corporation, Inc.
("Dixie Rice") is the direct holder of 100% of the outstanding
common stock of Dixie Holding.  Contran is the holder of 100% of
the outstanding common stock of Dixie Rice and approximately 88.9%
of the outstanding common stock of Southwest.

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 (the "Trusts"), of which Mr.
Simmons is the sole trustee.  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.  Mr. Simmons, however, disclaims beneficial ownership of
any shares of Contran stock that the Trusts hold.

The CMRT directly holds approximately 9.0% of the outstanding
shares of the issuer's common stock and 0.1% of the outstanding
shares of Valhi common stock.  Valhi established the CMRT as a
trust to permit the collective investment by master trusts that
maintain the assets of certain employee benefit plans Valhi and
related companies adopt.  Mr. Simmons is the sole trustee of the
CMRT and a member of the trust investment committee for the CMRT.
Mr. Simmons is a participant in one or more of the employee
benefit plans that invest through the CMRT.

The Foundation directly holds approximately 1.3% of the
outstanding Valhi common stock.  The Foundation is a tax-exempt
foundation organized for charitable purposes.  Harold C. Simmons
is the chairman of the board of the Foundation.

The CDCT No. 2 directly holds approximately 0.4% of the
outstanding Valhi common stock.  U.S. Bank National Association
serves as the trustee of the CDCT No. 2.  Contran established the
CDCT No. 2 as an irrevocable "rabbi trust" to assist Contran in
meeting certain deferred compensation obligations that it owes to
Harold C. Simmons.  If the CDCT No. 2 assets are insufficient to
satisfy such obligations, Contran is obligated to satisfy the
balance of such obligations as they come due.  Pursuant to the
terms of the CDCT No. 2, Contran (i) retains the power to vote the
shares of Valhi common stock held directly by the CDCT No. 2, (ii)
retains dispositive power over such shares and (iii) may be deemed
the indirect beneficial owner of such shares.

Valhi and Tremont are the direct holders of 63.2% and 21.4% of the
outstanding common stock of NL Industries, Inc. ("NL").  Valmont
Insurance Company ("Valmont"), NL and a subsidiary of NL directly
own 1,000,000 shares, 3,522,967 shares and 1,186,200 shares,
respectively, of Valhi common stock.  Valhi is the direct holder
of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Valmont.  Pursuant to
Delaware law, Valhi treats the shares of Valhi common stock that
Valmont, NL and the subsidiary of NL own as treasury stock for
voting purposes and for the purposes of this statement such shares
are not deemed outstanding.

Mr. Harold C. Simmons is chairman of the board of Tremont, Valhi,
VGI, National, NOA, Dixie Holding, Dixie Rice, Southwest and
Contran.

By virtue of the holding of the offices, the stock ownership and
his services as trustee, all as described above, (a) Mr. Simmons
may be deemed to control the entities described above and (b) Mr.
Simmons and certain of such entities may be deemed to possess
indirect beneficial ownership of shares of the issuer's equity
securities directly held by certain of such other entities.
However, Mr. Simmons disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares
of the issuer's equity securities beneficially owned, directly or
indirectly, by any of such entities.

Harold C. Simmons' spouse is the direct owner of 1,000,000 shares
of the BUCS (which are convertible in the aggregate into 133,900
shares of the issuer's common stock) and 69,475 shares of NL
common stock.  Mr. Simmons may be deemed to share indirect
beneficial ownership of such shares.  Mr. Simmons disclaims all
such beneficial ownership.

A trust the beneficiaries of which are the grandchildren of Mr.
Simmon's spouse (the "Grandchildren's Trust") is the direct holder
of 4,760 shares of the issuer's common stock.  Harold C. Simmons
and his spouse are co-trustees of the Grandchildren's Trust.  Mr.
Simmons, as co-trustee of the Trust, has the power to vote and
direct the disposition of the shares of the issuer's common stock
the Grandchildren's Trust holds.  Mr. Simmons disclaims beneficial
ownership of any shares of the issuer's common stock that the
Grandchildren's Trust holds.
