NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of U.S. Concrete, Inc. and its subsidiaries and have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We include in our condensed consolidated financial statements, the results of operations, balance sheets and cash flows of our 60%-owned Michigan subsidiary. We reflect the minority owner’s 40% interest in income, net assets and cash flows of our Michigan subsidiary as minority interest in consolidated subsidiary in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Some information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations, although our management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the “2007 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of our management, all adjustments necessary to state fairly the information in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of our results expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.

The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

For a description of our accounting policies, see Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements in the 2007 Form 10-K, as well as Note 13 below.

3.	DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In the fourth quarter of 2007, we entered into definitive agreements to dispose of three of our ready-mixed concrete business units. In November 2007, we sold our Knoxville, Tennessee and Wyoming, Delaware business units. The sale of our third unit, headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, occurred on January 31, 2008. All three units were part of our ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related products segment. We classified all three business units sold as discontinued operations beginning in the fourth quarter of 2007 and presented the results of operations, net of tax, as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The results of discontinued operations included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations were as follows for the three months ended March 31 (in thousands):

4.	BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

In January 2008, we acquired a ready-mixed concrete operation in Staten Island, New York. We used cash-on-hand to fund the purchase price of approximately $1.8 million.

In October 2007, we completed the acquisition of the operating assets, including working capital and real property of Architectural Precast, LLC (“API”), a leading designer and manufacturer of premium quality architectural and structural precast concrete products serving the Atlantic region. We used borrowings under our revolving credit facility to fund the cash purchase price of approximately $14.5 million. The purchase agreement provides for up to $1.5 million in additional purchase consideration, which is contingent on API attaining established earnings targets in each of 2008 and 2009.

In April 2007, several of our subsidiaries entered into agreements with the Edw. C. Levy Co. relating to the formation of a ready-mixed concrete company that operates in Michigan. We contributed our Michigan ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related products assets, excluding our quarry assets and working capital, in exchange for an aggregate 60% ownership interest, and Levy contributed all of its ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related products assets, a cement terminal and cash of $1.0 million for a 40% ownership interest in the new company. Under the contribution agreement, the subsidiary also purchased at closing the then carrying amount of Levy’s inventory and prepaid assets, totaling approximately $3.0 million, which is classified as cash used in investing activities. The newly formed company, Superior Materials Holdings, LLC, which operates primarily under the trade name Superior Materials, currently owns and operates 22 ready-mixed concrete plants, a cement terminal and approximately 250 ready-mixed concrete trucks. For financial reporting purposes, we are including Superior Materials Holdings, LLC in our consolidated accounts.

Superior Materials Holdings, LLC has a separate credit agreement which provides for a revolving credit facility, under which borrowings of up to $20 million may become available depending on its borrowing base, as defined in the credit agreement (see Note 7).

In other business acquisitions during the periods presented, we acquired two ready-mixed concrete plants, including real property and raw material inventories, in our west Texas market for approximately $3.6 million in June 2007.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On June 30, 2006, we entered into a credit agreement (“the Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated our senior secured credit agreement dated as of March 12, 2004. The Credit Agreement, as amended to date, provides for a $150 million revolving credit facility, with borrowings limited based on a portion of the net amounts of eligible accounts receivable, inventory and mixer trucks. The facility is scheduled to mature in March 2011. At March 31, 2008, there were no borrowings under this facility and new borrowings under the facility would have borne annual interest at the Eurodollar-based rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.75% or the domestic rate of 5.25% plus 0.25%. Commitment fees at an annual rate of 0.25% are payable on the unused portion of the facility. The Credit Agreement provides that the administrative agent may, on the bases specified, reduce the amount of the available credit from time to time. At March 31, 2008, the amount of the available credit was approximately $88.9 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of approximately $12.2 million.

Our subsidiaries, excluding our 60%-owned Michigan subsidiary and minor subsidiaries without operations or material assets, have guaranteed the repayment of all amounts owing under the Credit Agreement. In addition, we collateralized our obligations under the Credit Agreement with the capital stock of our subsidiaries, excluding our 60%-owned Michigan subsidiary and minor subsidiaries without operations or material assets, and substantially all the assets of those subsidiaries, excluding most of the assets of the aggregates quarry in northern New Jersey, other real estate owned by us or our subsidiaries, and the assets of our 60%-owned Michigan subsidiary. The Credit Agreement contains covenants restricting, among other things, prepayment or redemption of subordinated notes, distributions, dividends and repurchases of capital stock and other equity interests, acquisitions and investments, mergers, asset sales other than in the ordinary course of business, indebtedness, liens, changes in business, changes to charter documents and affiliate transactions. It also limits capital expenditures (excluding permitted acquisitions) to the greater of $45 million or 5% of consolidated revenues in the prior 12 months and will require us to maintain a minimum fixed-charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 on a rolling 12-month basis if the available credit under the facility falls below $25 million. The Credit Agreement provides that specified change-of-control events would constitute events of default.

Senior Subordinated Notes

On March 31, 2004, we issued $200 million of 8⅜% senior subordinated notes due April 1, 2014. Interest on these notes is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year. We used the net proceeds of this financing to redeem our prior 12% senior subordinated notes and prepay the outstanding debt under our credit facility. In July 2006, we issued $85 million of additional 8⅜% senior subordinated notes.

All of our subsidiaries, excluding our 60%-owned Michigan subsidiary and minor subsidiaries, have jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed the repayment of the 8⅜% senior subordinated notes.

The indenture governing the notes limits our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or repurchase common stock, make certain investments, incur additional debt or sell preferred stock, create liens, merge or transfer assets. After March 31, 2009, we may redeem all or a part of the notes at a redemption price of 104.188% in 2009, 102.792% in 2010, 101.396% in 2011 and 100% in 2012 and thereafter. The indenture requires us to offer to repurchase (1) an aggregate principal amount of the subordinated notes equal to the proceeds of certain asset sales that are not reinvested in the business or used to pay senior debt, and (2) all the notes following the occurrence of a change of control. The Credit Agreement would prohibit these repurchases.

As a result of restrictions contained in the indenture relating to the 8⅜% senior subordinated notes, our ability to incur additional debt is primarily limited to the greater of (1) borrowings available under the Credit Agreement, plus the greater of $15 million or 7.5% of our tangible assets, or (2) additional debt if, after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional debt, our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain noncash items equal or exceed two times our total interest expense.

U.S. CONCRETE, INC.

Superior Materials Holdings, LLC Credit Facility

Superior Materials Holdings, LLC has a separate credit agreement that provides for a revolving credit facility. The credit agreement was amended in the first quarter of 2008 and currently allows for borrowings of up to $20 million. Borrowings under this credit facility are collateralized by substantially all the assets of Superior Materials Holdings, LLC and are scheduled to mature on April 1, 2010. Availability of borrowings is subject to a borrowing base that is determined based on the values of net receivables and inventory and $5.0 million plus $2.5 million for the period January 1 and ending May 31of each year, plus certain adjustments for letters of credit. The credit agreement provides that the administrative agent may, on the bases specified, reduce the amount of the available credit from time to time. As of March 31, 2008, there were $7.4 million in outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, and the remaining amount of the available credit was approximately $1.2 million.

Currently, borrowings under the facility are subject to an interest pricing grid ranging from LIBOR plus 1.25% to LIBOR plus 2.5%. The interest rate margins vary inversely with the ratio of funded debt to EBITDA. Commitment fees at an annual rate of 25 basis points are payable on the unused portion of the facility.

The credit agreement contains covenants restricting, among other things, Superior Materials Holdings, LLC’s distributions, dividends and repurchases of capital stock and other equity interests, acquisitions and investments, mergers, asset sales other than in the ordinary course of business, indebtedness, liens, changes in business, changes to charter documents and affiliate transactions. It also generally limits Superior Materials Holdings, LLC’s capital expenditures and requires the subsidiary to maintain compliance with specified financial covenants, including an affirmative covenant which requires earnings before income taxes, interest and depreciation (“EBITDA”) to be at least $0.7 million for the year ending December 31, 2008.

8.	INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended March 31, our income tax payments were approximately $0.1 million in 2008 and $1.8 million in 2007.

In accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles, we estimate the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. We use this estimate in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis, and it may change in subsequent interim periods. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was approximately 37.7%, compared to 40.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The effective income tax rate for the 2008 period was higher than the federal statutory rate of 35%, due primarily to state income taxes and additional taxes provided due to previously recorded tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions. In the 2007 period, the effective income tax rate was higher than the federal statutory rate, due primarily to state income taxes.

9.	STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock and Preferred Stock

The following table presents information regarding U.S. Concrete’s common stock (in thousands):

	March 31,		December 31,
	2008		2007
Shares authorized		60,000		60,000
Shares outstanding at end of period		39,775		39,361
Shares held in treasury		381		315

Under our restated certificate of incorporation, we are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value, none of which were issued or outstanding as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

Treasury Stock

Employees may elect to satisfy their tax obligations on the vesting of their restricted stock by having us make the required tax payments and withhold a number of vested shares having an aggregate value on the date of vesting equal to the tax obligation. As a result of such employee elections, we withheld approximately 66,000 shares during the three months ended March 31, 2008, at a total value of $0.2 million, and we accounted for those shares as treasury stock.

Share Repurchase Plan

On January 7, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a plan to repurchase up to an aggregate of three million shares of our common stock. The plan permits the stock repurchases to be made on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in compliance with applicable securities and other laws. Our stock repurchase plan does not obligate us to repurchase any particular number of shares, and we may suspend or discontinue the program at any time. As of March 31, 2008, we had repurchased 46,531 shares with an aggregate value of $0.2 million under the repurchase plan and had a remaining authorization to repurchase up to 2,953,469 shares.

10.

SHARES USED IN COMPUTING NET INCOME PER SHARE

The following table summarizes the number of shares (in thousands) of common stock U.S. Concrete has used, on a weighted-average basis, in calculating basic and diluted net loss per share:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2008		2007
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding		38,587		38,030
Effect of dilutive stock options and awards		—		—
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding		38,587		38,030

For the three-month period ended March 31, stock options and awards covering 2.0 million shares in 2008 and 1.9 million shares in 2007 were excluded from the computation of the net loss per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

11.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, and currently, we are subject to various claims and litigation brought by employees, customers and other third parties for, among other matters, personal injuries, property damages, product defects and delay damages that have, or allegedly have, resulted from the conduct of our operations. As a result of these types of claims and litigation, we must periodically evaluate the probability of damages being assessed against us and the range of possible outcomes. In the period, if we determine that the likelihood of damages being assessed against us is probable, and, if we believe we can estimate a range of possible outcomes, then we record a liability reflecting either the low end of our range or a specific estimate, if we believe a specific estimate to be likely based on current information. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we recorded a $2.3 million liability associated with certain ongoing litigation. Based on information available to us as of March 31, 2008, we believe our existing accruals for these matters are reasonable.

We received a letter from a multi-employer pension plan to which one of our subsidiaries is a contributing employer, providing notice that the Internal Revenue Service had denied applications by the plan for waivers of the minimum funding deficiency from prior years, and requesting payment of approximately $1.3 million in May 2008 as our allocable share of the minimum funding deficiencies. We are currently evaluating several options to minimize our exposure, including transferring our assets and liabilities into another plan. We may receive future funding deficiency demands from this particular multi-employer pension plan, or other multi-employer plans to which we contribute.

We believe that the resolution of all litigation currently pending or threatened against us or any of our subsidiaries should not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows; however, because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation, we cannot provide assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding to which we or any of our subsidiaries is a party will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows for the fiscal period in which that resolution occurs. We expect in the future that we and our operating subsidiaries will from time to time be a party to litigation or administrative proceedings that arise in the normal course of our business.

We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other matters, air emissions and wastewater discharge. Our management believes we are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. From time to time, we receive claims from federal and state environmental regulatory agencies and entities asserting that we may be in violation of environmental laws and regulations. Based on experience and the information currently available, our management believes that these claims should not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Despite compliance and experience, it is possible that we could be held liable for future charges, which might be material, but are not currently known to us or cannot be estimated by us. In addition, changes in federal or state laws, regulations or requirements, or discovery of currently unknown conditions, could require additional expenditures.

As permitted under Delaware law, we have agreements that provide indemnification of officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is or was serving at our request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is not limited; however, we have a director and officer insurance policy that potentially limits our exposure and enables us to recover a portion of future amounts that may be paid. As a result of the insurance policy coverage, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have not recorded any liabilities for these agreements as of March 31, 2008.

We and our subsidiaries are parties to agreements that require us to provide indemnification in certain instances when we acquire or divest businesses and real estate and in the ordinary course of business with our customers, suppliers, lessors and service providers.

Insurance Programs

We maintain third-party insurance coverage in amounts and against the risks we believe are reasonable. Under certain components of our insurance program, we share the risk of loss with our insurance underwriters by maintaining high deductibles subject to aggregate annual loss limitations. Generally, we believe our deductible retentions per occurrence for auto, general liability and workers’ compensation insurance programs are consistent with industry practices. Generally, our deductible retentions per occurrence for auto, workers’ compensation and general liability insurance programs are $1.0 million, although certain of our operations are self-insured for workers’ compensation. We fund these deductibles and record an expense for expected losses under the programs. The expected losses are determined using a combination of our historical loss experience and subjective assessments of our future loss exposure. The estimated losses are subject to uncertainty from various sources, including changes in claims reporting patterns, claims settlement patterns, judicial decisions, legislation and economic conditions. Although we believe that the estimated losses we have recorded are reasonable, significant differences related to the items noted above could materially affect our insurance obligations and future expense.

In March 2007, we settled a lawsuit with a third-party claims administrator responsible for handling workers’ compensation claims related to 2002 and 2003. The settlement relieves us of any future responsibility relating to certain workers’ compensation claims and required the payment of $225,000 in cash to us by the third-party administrator. As a result, we recorded additional income of approximately $1.4 million resulting from the reversal of accrued liabilities relating to workers’ compensation claims associated with 2002 and 2003 and the cash settlement amount. The additional income is reported in our financial statements primarily as an offset to cost of sales in 2007.

Performance Bonds

In the normal course of business, we and our subsidiaries are contingently liable for performance under $26.8 million in performance bonds that various contractors, states and municipalities have required. The bonds principally relate to construction contracts, reclamation obligations and mining permits. We and our subsidiaries have indemnified the underwriting insurance company against any exposure under the performance bonds. No material claims have been made against these bonds.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair-value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under SFAS No. 157, fair-value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair-value hierarchy. The adoption did not have a material effect on our first quarter financial statements.

In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-2, "Partial Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No. 157," which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We have not yet completed our evaluation of the potential impact of this standard on our nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS No. 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We have not yet completed our evaluation of the potential impact of this standard on our financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,” which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We have not completed our evaluation of the potential impact of this standard.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for our first quarter 2009 financial statements, with early application encouraged. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Statements we make in the following discussion which express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not historical fact, are forward-looking statements that are subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, could differ materially from those we express in the following discussion as a result of a variety of factors, including the risks and uncertainties we have referred to under the headings “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I in the 2007 Form 10-K, and “—Risks and Uncertainties” below, except as required by applicable law. For a discussion of our commitment not discussed below, related-party transactions, and our critical accounting policies, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7 in the 2007Form 10-K. We assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements; except as required by applicable law.

Our Business

We operate our business in two business segments: ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related products; and precast concrete products.

Ready-Mixed Concrete and Concrete-Related Products. Our ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related products segment is engaged primarily in the production, sale and delivery of ready-mixed concrete to our customer’s job sites. To a lesser extent, this segment is engaged in the mining and sale of aggregates, and the resale of building materials, primarily to our ready-mixed concrete customers. We provide these products and services from our operations in north and west Texas, northern California, New Jersey, New York, Washington, D.C., Michigan and Oklahoma.

Precast Concrete Products. Our precast concrete products segment engages principally in the production, distribution and sale of precast concrete products from its eight plants located in California, Arizona and Pennsylvania. From these facilities, we produce precast concrete structures such as utility vaults, manholes and other wastewater management products, specialty engineered structures, curb-inlets, catch basins, retaining and other wall systems, custom designed architectural products and other precast concrete products.

Our Markets

The markets for our products are generally local, and our operating results are subject to fluctuations in the level and mix of construction activity that occur in our markets. The level of activity affects the demand for our products, while the product mix of activity among the various segments of the construction industry affects both our relative competitive strengths and our operating margins. Commercial and industrial projects generally provide more opportunities to sell value-added products which are designed to meet the high-performance requirements of these types of projects.

Our customers are generally involved in the construction industry, which is a cyclical business and is subject to general and more localized economic conditions. In addition, our business is impacted by seasonal variations in weather conditions which vary by regional market. Accordingly, demand for our products and services during the winter months is typically lower than other months of the year because of inclement weather. Also, sustained periods of inclement weather and other weather conditions could postpone or delay projects in our markets during other times of the year.

For the first three months of 2008, our average sales price trends varied by region in our ready-mixed concrete markets. We experienced pricing improvements in our northern California, north and west Texas markets, and pricing declines in our New Jersey, Washington, D.C. and Michigan markets, as compared to the first quarter of 2007. Sustaining or improving our operating margins in the future will depend on market conditions, including the impact of continued softening in the residential sector, our customers’ access to credit and strength in the commercial and public works end-use markets of our operations.

Ready-mixed concrete sales volume generally declined beginning in 2006 and have continued to decline in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the first quarter of 2007 on a same-plant-sales basis. This decline reflects a sustained downward trend in residential construction activity and light commercial projects in many of our markets. We expect the overall construction downturn, in both residential and light commercial end-use markets, to continue in the remainder of 2008, resulting in ready-mixed concrete sales volumes being down on a same-plant-sales basis in 2008 in most of our markets as compared to 2007. We expect ready-mixed concrete volumes related to public works construction to be higher in 2008 as compared to 2007.

Demand for our products in our precast concrete products segment decreased in the first quarter of 2008, as compared to the first quarter of 2007. This decline is reflective of the decline in residential construction starts in our northern California and Phoenix, Arizona markets, where our precast business has been heavily weighted toward products used in new residential construction projects. We are in the process of refocusing our product lines and streamlining our operations in these markets to better serve existing demand and penetrate additional end-use markets.

Cement and Other Raw Materials

We obtain most of the raw materials necessary to manufacture ready-mixed concrete and precast concrete products on a daily basis. These materials include cement, other cementitious materials (generally, fly ash and blast furnace slag) and aggregates (stone, gravel and sand), in addition to certain chemical admixtures. With the exception of chemical admixtures, each plant typically maintains an inventory level of these materials sufficient to satisfy its operating needs for a few days. Typically, cement, other cementitious materials and aggregates represents the highest cost materials used in manufacturing a cubic yard of ready-mixed concrete. In each of our markets, we purchase each of these materials from several suppliers. Admixtures are generally purchased from suppliers under national purchasing agreements.

We negotiate cement and aggregate pricing with suppliers both on a company-wide basis and at the local market level to obtain the most competitive pricing available for cement and aggregates. We anticipate that the residential construction downturn that began in the second half of 2006 will continue through the remainder of 2008 and, therefore; commercial construction and other building segments will comprise a larger percentage of overall product demand. Generally, due to tightness of supply, cement and aggregate costs have increased significantly over the last several years. However, due to the slowdown in residential housing starts and increased U.S. cement capacity, we have not experienced and do not expect to experience cement shortages during 2008. Announced cement price increases for January 1, 2008 have been delayed in many of our markets and increases realized, if any, by our cement suppliers are expected to be lower than in 2007. We expect 2008 aggregate pricing to increase moderately over 2007 levels. Today, in most of our markets, we believe there is an adequate supply of aggregates. Should demand for aggregates increase significantly, we could experience escalating prices or shortages of aggregates.

Acquisitions

Since our inception in 1999, our growth strategy has contemplated acquisitions. The rate and extent to which appropriate further acquisition opportunities are available, and the extent to which acquired businesses are integrated and anticipated synergies and cost savings are achieved, can affect our operations and results. Our recent acquisitions are discussed briefly below.

Ready-Mixed Concrete and Concrete-Related Products Segment

New York Acquisition. In January 2008, we acquired a single plant ready-mixed concrete operation in Staten Island, New York. The purchase price was approximately $1.8 million in cash.

West Texas Acquisition. We acquired two ready-mixed concrete plants, including real property and certain raw material inventories, in our west Texas market for approximately $3.6 million in June 2007.

Superior Materials Joint Venture. In April 2007, we formed a joint venture (Superior Materials Holdings, LLC), with the Edw. C. Levy Co., which operates in Michigan. Under the contribution agreement, we contributed substantially all of our ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related products assets, except our quarry assets and working capital, in Michigan, in exchange for a 60% ownership interest, while the Edw. C. Levy Co. contributed all of its Michigan ready-mixed concrete and related concrete products assets, its 24,000-ton cement terminal and $1.0 million for a 40% ownership interest. The 60%-owned Michigan subsidiary currently owns and operates 22 ready-mixed concrete plants, a 24,000-ton cement terminal and approximately 250 ready-mixed concrete trucks.

Precast Concrete Products Segment

Architectural Precast, LLC (“API”). In October 2007, we acquired the operating assets, including working capital and real property, of API, a leading designer and manufacturer of premium quality architectural and structural precast concrete products serving the Mid-Atlantic region, for approximately $14.5 million plus a $1.5 million contingency payment based on the future earnings of API.

Divestitures

In the fourth quarter of 2007, we began to implement our strategy of exiting markets that do not meet our performance and return criteria or fit our long-term strategic objectives. We sold our Knoxville, Tennessee and Wyoming, Delaware operations in November 2007 for $16.5 million, plus certain adjustments for working capital. In addition, we sold our Memphis, Tennessee operations for $7.2 million, plus the payment for certain inventory-on-hand at closing on January 31, 2008 (See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report). These operations have been aggregated and presented in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as “discontinued operations.”

Risks and Uncertainties

Numerous factors could affect our future operating results, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of the 2007 Form 10-K and the following factors:

Internal Computer Network and Applications. We rely on our network infrastructure, enterprise applications and internal technology systems for our operational, support and sales activities. The hardware and software systems related to such activities are subject to damage from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication failures and other similar events. They are also subject to computer viruses, physical or electronic vandalism or other similar disruptions that could cause system interruptions, delays and loss of critical data and could prevent us from fulfilling our customers’ orders. We have developed disaster recovery plans and backup systems to reduce the potentially adverse effects of such events. Any event that causes failures or interruption in our hardware or software systems could result in disruption in our business operations, loss of revenues or damage to our reputation.

During the second half of 2007, we began a process to select a new enterprise resource planning solution to provide for enhanced control, business efficiency and effectiveness, more timely and consistent reporting of both operational and financial data, and provide a platform to more adequately support our long-term growth plans. In the fourth quarter, a plan of implementation was approved which anticipates a phased implementation across our regions during the course of 2008 and into early 2009. The plan of implementation is on schedule.

Accounting Rules and Regulations. We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). A change in these policies can have a significant effect on our reported results and may even retroactively affect previously reported transactions. Our accounting policies that recently have been or may be affected by changes in the accounting rules are as follows:

•

accounting for income taxes; and

•

accounting for business combinations and related goodwill.

Tax Liabilities. We are subject to federal, state and local income taxes, applicable to corporations generally, as well as nonincome-based taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities. In the ordinary course of business, we make calculations in which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We are also, from time to time, under audit by state and local tax authorities. Although we can provide no assurance that the final determination of our tax liabilities will not differ from what our historical income tax provisions and accruals reflect, we believe our tax estimates are reasonable.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have outlined our critical accounting policies in Item 7 of Part II of the 2007 Form 10-K. Our critical accounting policies involve the use of estimates in the recording of allowance for doubtful accounts, realization of goodwill, accruals for self-insurance, accruals for income taxes and the valuation and useful lives of property, plant and equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we made no changes in the application of our critical accounting policies presented in the 2007 Form 10-K. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of Part II of the 2007 Form 10-K for a discussion of these accounting policies. See Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I of this report for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and accounting changes.

Sales.

Ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related products. Sales of our ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related products from continuing operations were $148.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, up $5.9 million, or 4.1%, compared to the corresponding period in 2007. Our ready-mixed sales volume for the first quarter of 2008 was approximately 1.37 million cubic yards, down 1.7% from the 1.39 million cubic yards of ready-mixed concrete we sold in the first quarter of 2007. The decline reflects the continued downturn in residential home construction activity and light commercial projects in many of our markets. On a same-plant-sales basis, ready-mixed concrete sales volumes were down 6.0% in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the first quarter of 2007. Offsetting the effects of lower sales volumes was the approximate 5.4% rise in the average sales price per cubic yard of ready-mixed concrete during the first quarter of 2008, as compared to the first quarter of 2007.

Precast concrete products. Sales in our precast concrete products segment were $16.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $1.3 million or 7.0%, from the corresponding period in 2007. Excluding sales associated with acquired operations, on a same-plant-sales basis, our first quarter 2008 precast concrete products sales were down approximately 32.5% from the first quarter of 2007, a result of the continued downturn in residential construction in our northern California and Phoenix, Arizona markets.

Cost of goods sold before depreciation, depletion and amortization.

Ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related products. The increase in cost of goods sold, before depreciation, depletion and amortization of $6.7 million or 5.4% to $129.0 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2008, was primarily associated with higher raw materials cost, increased fuel costs, higher delivery costs, including pension costs, and reduced operational efficiencies resulting from lower-than-expected volumes as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. As a percentage of ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related products sales, cost of goods sold before depreciation, depletion and amortization increased from 85.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to 86.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related products sales in the first quarter of 2008 were primarily attributable to higher delivery costs, including compensation, pension costs and fuel costs, partially offset by lower raw materials costs as a percentage of revenue as compared to the first quarter of 2007. Cost of goods sold before depreciation, depletion and amortization was favorably impacted by the $1.4 million workers’ compensation settlement gain reflected in the first quarter of 2007. Cost of goods sold before depreciation, depletion and amortization in the first quarter of 2008 was negatively impacted by a $1.3 million expense related to a multi-employer plan funding deficiency accrual at one of our locations.

Precast concrete products. The reduction in cost of goods sold before depreciation, depletion and amortization for our precast concrete products segment of $1.9 million, or 13.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to the corresponding period in 2007, is reflective of the declining residential construction market that has been impacting our northern California and Phoenix, Arizona precast markets. As a percentage of precast concrete products sales, cost of goods sold before depreciation, depletion and amortization declined in the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to the corresponding period in 2007, from 79.2% to 74.0%. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of precast concrete product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008, reflected the lower operating costs of our architectural precast business and cost reductions made in our plant operations in northern California and Phoenix, Arizona.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $18.1 million, or 8.6% higher than in the corresponding 2007 period, due to an increase in incentive compensation accruals, professional fees, office expenses and bad debt expenses.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased $0.2 million, or 3.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to the corresponding period in 2007.

Interest expense. The decrease in interest expense of $0.1 million, or 1.6%, to $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to the corresponding period of 2007, was due to lower borrowings under our credit facility.

Minority interest. Minority interest of ($2.0) million reflected in the first quarter of 2008 relates to the allocable share of net loss from our Michigan joint venture to our minority partner. The Michigan joint venture was formed on April 1, 2007, and accordingly, no minority interest is reflected for the three-months ended March 31, 2007.

Income tax benefit. We recorded an income tax benefit from continuing operations of $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $3.5 million for the corresponding period in 2007. The decrease in the income tax benefit for the period ended March 31, 2008 resulted from the income tax effect of lower operating losses, partially offset by additional income tax accruals for certain tax contingencies. At the end of each interim reporting period, we estimate the effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. We use this estimate in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis, and it may change in subsequent interim periods. Our estimated annualized effective tax rate was 37.7% and 40.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the 2008 and 2007 periods are higher than the federal statutory rate, due primarily to state income taxes and additional tax provisions for uncertain tax benefits as required by FIN 48. We expect our effective tax rate for 2008 will be approximately 40.0% to 43.0%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary short-term liquidity needs consist of financing seasonal increases in working capital requirements, purchasing property and equipment and paying cash interest expense under our 8⅜% senior subordinated notes due in April 2014 and cash interest expense on borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility that is scheduled to expire in March 2011. In addition to cash and cash equivalents of $20.4 million at March 31, 2008 and cash from operations, our senior secured revolving credit facility provides us with a significant source of liquidity. That facility provides us a borrowing capacity of up to $150 million. The credit agreement relating to the facility provides that the administrative agent may, on the bases specified, reduce the amount of available credit from time to time. At March 31, 2008, we had $88.9 million of available credit, net of outstanding letters of credit of $12.2 million. Our working capital needs are typically at their lowest level in the first quarter and increase in the second and third quarters to fund the increases in accounts receivable and inventories during those periods and the cash interest payment on our senior subordinated notes on April 1 and October 1 of each year. Generally, in the fourth quarter of each year, our working capital borrowings decline and are at their lowest annual levels in the first quarter of the following year.

The principal factors that could adversely affect the amount and availability of our internally generated funds include:

any deterioration of sales, because of weakness in markets in which we operate;

any decline in gross margins due to shifts in our project mix or increases in the cost of our raw materials;

any deterioration in our ability to collect our accounts receivable from customers as a result of further weakening in residential and other construction demand; and

the extent to which we are unable to generate internal growth through integration of additional businesses or capital expansions of our existing business.

The principal factors that could adversely affect our ability to obtain cash from external sources include:

covenants contained in the credit agreement governing our senior revolving credit facility and the indenture governing our 8⅜% senior subordinated notes;

volatility in the markets for corporate debt and any additional market instability which may result from the effect of subprime loan default rates; and

fluctuations in the market price of our common stock or 8⅜% senior subordinated notes.

The following key financial measurements reflect our financial position and capital resources as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 (dollars in thousands):

	March 31, 2008			December 31, 2007

Cash and cash equivalents	$	20,405		$	14,850
Working capital	$	85,401		$	88,129
Total debt	$	299,680		$	298,500
Debt to debt and equity		60.0	%		59.3	%

Our cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments in deposits we hold at major financial institutions.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

Our subsidiaries, excluding our 60%-owned Michigan subsidiary and minor subsidiaries without operations or material assets, have guaranteed the repayment of all amounts owing under the Credit Agreement. In addition, we collateralized our obligations under the Credit Agreement with the capital stock of our subsidiaries, excluding our 60%-owned Michigan subsidiary and minor subsidiaries without operations or material assets; and substantially all the assets of those subsidiaries, excluding most of the assets of the aggregates quarry in northern New Jersey, other real estate owned by us or our subsidiaries, and the assets of our 60%-owned Michigan subsidiary. The Credit Agreement contains covenants restricting, among other things, prepayment or redemption of subordinated notes, distributions, dividends and repurchases of capital stock and other equity interests, acquisitions and investments, mergers, asset sales other than in the ordinary course of business, indebtedness, liens, changes in business, changes to charter documents and affiliate transactions. It also limits capital expenditures (excluding permitted acquisitions) to the greater of $45 million or 5% of consolidated revenues in the prior 12 months and will require us to maintain a minimum fixed-charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 on a rolling 12-month basis if the available credit under the facility falls below $25 million. The Credit Agreement provides that specified change-of-control events would constitute events of default.

Senior Subordinated Notes

As a result of restrictions contained in the indenture relating to the 8⅜% senior subordinated notes, our ability to incur additional debt is primarily limited to the greater of (1) borrowings available under the Credit Agreement, plus the greater of $15 million or 7.5% of our tangible assets, or (2) additional debt if, after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional debt, our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non cash items equal or exceed two times our total interest expense.

Superior Materials Holdings, LLC Credit Facility

Currently, borrowings under the facility are subject to an interest pricing grid ranging from LIBOR plus 1.25% to LIBOR plus 2.50%. The interest rate margins vary inversely with the ratio of funded debt to EBITDA. Commitment fees at an annual rate of 25 basis points are payable on the unused portion of the facility.

U.S. Concrete and its 100%-owned subsidiaries are not obligors or guarantors under the terms of the Superior Materials Holdings LLC credit agreement.

Cash Flow

Our net cash provided by operating activities generally reflects the cash effects of transactions and other events used in the determination of net income or loss. Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $1.0 million of net cash used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2007. This change was principally a result of lower working capital requirements and lower income tax payments in the first quarter of 2008, as compared to the first quarter of 2007.

Our net cash used in investing activities improved $8.0 million and provided cash of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $7.5 million used in investing activities in three months ended March 31, 2007. This change was primarily due to lower capital expenditures and net proceeds received from our divestiture activities. During the first quarter of 2008, we received $7.6 million in proceeds from the sale of our Memphis operations and spent approximately $1.8 million for a ready-mixed concrete operation in New York.

Our net cash provided by financing activities of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $8.5 million from the $9.2 million net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was attributable to lower borrowings under our credit facility.

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment (net of disposals). Free cash flow is a liquidity measure not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management uses free cash flow in managing our business because we consider it to be an important indicator of our ability to service our debt and generate cash for acquisitions and other strategic investments. We believe free cash flow may provide users of our financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. As a non-GAAP financial measure, free cash flow should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported operating results or cash flow from operations or any other measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Our net cash provided by (used in) operations and free cash flow is as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2008			2007

Net cash provided by (used in) operations	$	4,467		$	(972	)
Less: purchases of property and equipment (net of disposals)		(5,561	)		(7,374	)
Free cash flow (as defined)	$	(1,094	)	$	(8,346	)

Future Capital Requirements

For the last nine months of 2008, our capital requirements for planned capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $20 million to $25 million, most of which we expect to be related to equipment purchases, plant relocations and our ongoing enterprise resource planning systems implementation. In addition, in the normal course of business, we lease certain equipment used in our operations under operating leases.

We believe, on the basis of current expectations, that our cash on hand, internally generated cash flow and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to provide the liquidity necessary to fund our operations, meet our capital and debt service requirements and fund any common stock repurchases under our share repurchase program for at least the next 12 months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet debt arrangements except for operating leases. From time to time, we may enter into additional operating leases that would not be reflected on our balance sheet. We do not have any transactions, arrangements or relationships with “special purpose” entities. Also, we have no outstanding debt guarantees. At March 31, 2008, we had $12.2 million of letters of credit outstanding. We are also contingently liable for performance under $26.8 million in performance bonds relating primarily to our ready-mixed concrete operations.

Share Repurchase Plan

On January 7, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a plan to repurchase up to an aggregate of three million shares of our common stock. The plan permits the stock repurchases to be made on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in compliance with applicable securities and other laws. The timing and amount of any future share repurchases will be determined by our management based on an evaluation of market and economic conditions and other relevant factors. We intend to retire any repurchased shares as soon as practicable following repurchase. Our stock repurchase plan does not obligate us to repurchase any particular number of shares, and we may suspend or discontinue the program at any time. As of March 31, 2008, we had repurchased 46,531 shares with an aggregate value of $0.2 million under the repurchase plan and had a remaining authorization to repurchase up to 2,953,469 shares.

Other

We periodically evaluate our liquidity requirements, alternative uses of capital, capital needs and availability of resources in view of, among other things, our dividend policy, our debt service and capital expenditure requirements and estimated future operating cash flows. As a result of this process, in the past we have sought, and in the future we may seek, to: reduce, refinance, repurchase or restructure indebtedness; raise additional capital; issue additional securities; repurchase shares of our common stock; modify our dividend policy; restructure ownership interests; sell interests in subsidiaries or other assets; or take a combination of such steps or other steps to manage our liquidity and capital resources. In the normal course of our business, we may review opportunities for the acquisition, divestiture, joint venture or other business combinations in the ready-mixed concrete or related businesses. In the event of any acquisition or other business combination transaction, we may consider using available cash, issuing equity securities or increasing our indebtedness to the extent permitted by the agreements governing our existing debt.

Inflation

We experienced modest increases in operating costs during 2007 related to inflation. However, cement prices and certain other raw material prices, including aggregates and diesel fuel prices, have generally risen faster than regional inflationary rates. We expect the upward trend in diesel fuel prices to continue in 2008 at rates faster than regional inflationary rates. We generally compensate for the escalating cost of diesel fuel with fuel surcharges to our customers, which are recorded in our revenues. Our success in realizing fuel surcharges varies by each market.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, but we may utilize them to manage our fixed-to-variable-rate debt ratio. All derivatives, whether designated as hedging relationships or not, are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair values. Because of the short duration of our investments, changes in market interest rates would not have a significant impact on their fair values. At March 31, 2008 and 2007, we were not a party to any derivative financial instruments.

The indebtedness evidenced by our 8⅜% senior subordinated notes is fixed-rate debt, so we are not exposed to cash-flow risk from market interest rate changes on these notes. The fair value of that debt will vary as interest rates change.

Borrowings under our revolving credit facility expose us to certain market risks. Interest on amounts drawn under the credit facility varies based on prime rate or one-, two-, three- or six-month LIBOR rates. Based on the trend of our credit facility outstanding balance through March 31, 2008, a one-percent change in the applicable rate would not materially change the amount of our interest expense for 2008.

We purchase commodities, such as cement, aggregates and diesel fuel, at market prices and do not currently use financial instruments to hedge commodity prices.

Our operations are subject to factors affecting the level of general construction activity, including the level of interest rates and availability of funds for construction. A significant decrease in the level of general construction activity in any of our market areas may have a material adverse effect on our sales and earnings.

In August 2005, the compensation committee of our board of directors awarded approximately 163,000 share price performance units which vest in four equal annual installments beginning in May 2006. Each share price performance unit is equal in value to one share of our common stock. Upon vesting, a holder of share price performance units will receive a cash payment from us equal to the number of vested share price performance units multiplied by the closing price of a share of our common stock on the vesting date. A change of one dollar in the price of our common stock would cause a pretax change in selling, general and administrative expense of approximately one dollar for each share price performance unit outstanding. At March 31, 2008, there were 64,000 share price performance units outstanding.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2008. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2008 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
