EXPLANATORY NOTE
     Eagle Materials Inc. (“the Company” or “EXP” which may be referred to as “we”, “our” or “us”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to include in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the financial statements and related notes of Texas Lehigh Cement Company LP (“Texas Lehigh”), a joint venture engaged in the manufacture and sale of cement. We own a 50% interest in Texas Lehigh and account for our interest using the equity method of accounting.
     S-X Rule 3-09 requires that the Company separately file financial statements within 90 days of the end of its fiscal year for any subsidiary meeting the significant subsidiary tests set forth in S-X Rule 1-02(w) (substituting 20% for 10% when assessing the tests). Texas Lehigh met this significant subsidiary test at the 20% level for calendar year 2007. Accordingly, we have included the audited financial statements of Texas Lehigh for this period.
     This Amendment No. 1 does not otherwise update any exhibits as originally filed and does not otherwise reflect events occurring after the original filing date of the Annual Report. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Annual Report.

Report of Independent Auditors
The Management Committee
Texas Lehigh Cement Company LP
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Texas Lehigh Cement Company LP (a Texas limited partnership) as of December 31, 2007 and the related statements of operations, changes in partners’ capital, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Texas Lehigh Cement Company LP at December 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 were not audited by us and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion on them.

Texas Lehigh Cement Company LP
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006
1. Organization
Texas Lehigh Cement Company (“Texas Lehigh”“), a Texas general partnership, was formed June 27, 1986 to operate a cement plant near Austin, Texas. Texas Lehigh was a fifty-fifty joint venture between Texas Cement Company (“TCC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Eagle Materials, Inc. (“EXP”, formerly known as Centex Construction Products, Inc.), and Lehigh Portland Cement Company (“Lehigh”). On October 1, 2000, the existing Texas general partnership was converted to a Texas limited partnership. Subsequent to the limited partnership formation, TCC and Lehigh each contributed a 0.1% interest to a general partner, TLCC GP LLC and Lehigh Portland Holdings, LLC, and a 49.9% interest to a limited partner, TLCC LP LLC and Lehigh Portland Investments, LLC. The conversion and subsequent contributions were done to afford the former partners additional liability protection. Texas Lehigh Cement Company LP continues to do business as “Texas Lehigh Cement Company.”
TCC’s initial capital contribution consisted of a cement plant and related real property located in Buda, Texas; four distribution terminals; various operating agreements, licenses, and excavation rights; and net working capital as specified in the joint venture agreement. Lehigh’s initial capital contribution consisted of a distribution terminal and related operating agreements, licenses, inventory, and cash.
In September 2006, Texas Lehigh paid $24.5 million for a 15% interest in Houston Cement Company (“HCC”), a joint venture. HCC operates two terminals in Houston, Texas. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, Texas Lehigh is entitled to sell up to 495,000 tons from the terminals each year.
Due to a number of factors, namely the shared risks and rights under the joint venture agreement, Texas Lehigh accounts for its investment in HCC using the equity method.
The financial statements and footnote information for the year ended December 31, 2006 are included for comparative purposes and have not been audited.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include investments with original maturities of three months or less. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those investments.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market. Cement and materials-in-process include materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead.
Note Receivable
The note receivable to Texas Lehigh is secured by liens on various pieces of equipment and bears interest at LIBOR plus 3%, which was approximately 8.47% and 8.53% at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The note is scheduled to mature in August 2011.
Concentration of Risk
One customer accounted for 12.8% and 10.5% of cement sales for 2007 and 2006, respectively and 12.0% and 8.7% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Texas Lehigh’s policy is to capitalize renewals and betterments and to expense repairs and maintenance when incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the financial statements, and any gain or loss is recorded in interest and other income on the statement of operations. Texas Lehigh periodically evaluates whether current events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of its depreciable assets may not be recoverable. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, management believes no events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Depreciation and Depletion
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which are as follows:
     
Cement plant
  5 to 30 years
Mobile equipment and other
  2 to 10 years
Raw material deposits are depleted as such deposits are extracted for production utilizing the units-of-production method.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of cement is recognized when title and ownership are transferred upon shipment to the customer.
Federal Income Taxes
No federal income taxes are payable by Texas Lehigh, and none have been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. The partners are to include their respective share of Company income or loss in their individual tax returns. Texas Lehigh is subject to Texas margin tax on its income earned in Texas.
Texas Lehigh’s tax return and the amount of allocable Company income or losses are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. If such examinations result in changes to Company income or losses, the tax liability of the partners could be changed accordingly. No such examinations are presently in process.
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs, Texas Lehigh classifies its freight revenue as sales and freight cost as cost of goods sold, respectively. Approximately $8,834,655 and $7,228,898 were classified as cost of goods sold in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
As of December 31, 2007 Texas Lehigh has an other accumulated comprehensive loss of $147,306 in connection with recognizing the difference between the fair value of the pension assets and the projected benefit obligation. This amount is excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of partners’ capital as “Other Comprehensive Loss”. Texas Lehigh adopted SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”, effective December 31, 2006. See Footnote 6 for the impact of adopting this new accounting standard.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
3. Accrued Expenses
Accrued expenses at December 31, 2007 and 2006 consist of the following:

Texas Lehigh accrued $2,887,199 and $852,498 for purchased cement received from these affiliates but not paid for at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Texas Lehigh reimburses EXP for certain expenses paid by EXP on Texas Lehigh’s behalf. Total payments made to EXP for reimbursement of expenses were $2,147,865 and $2,156,458 during 2007 and 2006. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, Texas Lehigh had accrued liabilities of $120,292 and $134,663, respectively, for the reimbursement of expenses paid by EXP.
6. Pension and Profit Sharing Plans
Texas Lehigh provides a profit sharing plan, a defined contribution plan (“401(k) plan”) and a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan, which together covers substantially all employees and provides specified benefits to qualified employees. Texas Lehigh is not a party to any multi-employer pension plan. Benefits paid under the defined benefit plan cover hourly employees and are based on years of service and the employee’s qualifying compensation over the last few years of employment. Texas Lehigh’s funding policy is to generally contribute amounts that are deductible for income tax purposes.
The annual measurement date is December 31 for the benefit obligations, fair value of plan assets and the funded status of the defined benefit plan.

    Year ended December 31,
    2007   2006
            (unaudited)
 
               
Assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at the annual measurement date were:
               
Obligation discount rate
    6.00 %     6.00 %
Compensation increase rate
    4.00 %     4.00 %
 
               
Assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit costs were:
               
Obligation discount rate

Long-term rate of return on plan assets
    8.00 %     8.00 %
Compensation increase rate
    4.00 %     4.00 %
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is an assumption reflecting the anticipated weighted average rate of earnings on the portfolio over the long-term. To arrive at this rate, Texas Lehigh developed estimates of the key components underlying capital asset returns including: market-based estimates of inflation, real risk-free rates of return, yield curve structure, credit risk premiums and equity risk premiums. As appropriate, these components were used to develop benchmark estimates of expected long-term rates of return for each asset class, which were portfolio weighted.

Texas Lehigh’s pension investment strategies have been developed as part of a comprehensive asset/liability management process that considers the interaction between both the assets and liabilities of the plan. These strategies consider not only the expected risks and returns on plan assets, but also the detailed actuarial projections of liabilities as well as plan-level objectives such as projected contributions, expense and funded status.
The principal pension investment strategies include asset allocation and active asset management. The range of target asset allocations have been determined after giving consideration to the expected returns of each asset class, the expected variability or volatility of the asset class returns over time, and the complementary nature or correlation of the asset classes within the portfolio. Texas Lehigh also employs an active management approach for the portfolio. Each asset class is managed by one or more external money managers with the objective of generating returns, net of management fees that exceed market-based benchmarks.
Texas Lehigh does not expect to contribute to its defined benefit plan during 2008. The amount previously contributed to the pension plan is estimated to be adequate to satisfy minimum funding requirements.
Texas Lehigh also provides a profit sharing plan, which covers substantially all salaried employees and a 401(k) plan which covers substantially all employees. Texas Lehigh matches employees’ 401(k) contributions up to 4% of employees’ salaries. Texas Lehigh’s contributions to the profit sharing and 401(k) plans were approximately $548,870 and $553,384 in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

6. Pension and Profit Sharing Plans (continued)
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (“SFAS No. 158”). SFAS No. 158 requires employers to recognize a net liability or asset and an offsetting adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income to report the funded status of defined benefit pension and other post-retirement benefit plans. SFAS No. 158 requires prospective application; thus, the recognition and disclosure requirements are effective for the year ended December 31, 2006. Additionally, SFAS No. 158 requires companies to measure plan assets and obligations at their year-end balance sheet date, which should not have any impact upon Texas Lehigh since the measurement date is currently December 31 of each year. Below is a summary of the impact of adopting SFAS No. 158 as of December 31, 2006 (unaudited):
