             Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Administrative Committee of
 CompX Contributory Retirement Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the  related  statement  of  changes in net assets  available  for  benefits
present fairly, in all material respects,  the net assets available for benefits
of CompX  Contributory  Retirement  Plan (the  "Plan") at December  31, 2002 and
2003,  and the changes in net assets  available  for benefits for the year ended
December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.  These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Plan's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial  statements  based on our  audits.  We  conducted  our audits of these
statements in accordance  with the  standards of the Public  Company  Accounting
Oversight  Board  (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.  An audit 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits  were  conducted  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held
at End of Year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information
required by the  Department of Labor's Rules and  Regulations  for Reporting and
Disclosure  under the Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act of 1974.  This
supplemental  schedule  is the  responsibility  of the  Plan's  management.  The
supplemental  schedule has been subjected to the auditing  procedures applied in
the audits of the basic  financial  statements  and, in our  opinion,  is fairly
stated in all material  respects in relation to the basic  financial  statements
taken as a whole.

COMPX CONTRIBUTORY RETIREMENT PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - Description of Plan and significant accounting policies: General. The following description of the Compx Contributory Retirement Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. The Plan is a defined contribution plan which covers eligible salaried and hourly U.S. employees of CompX International Inc. and its U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the "Employer"). Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan as of the first entry date, as defined, concurrent with or next following the completion of 90 days of eligible service and attaining 20 years of age. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). The Employer is a 69%-owned subsidiary of Valhi, Inc. at December 31, 2003. Valhi is a 90%-owned subsidiary of Contran Corporation at December 31, 2003. 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, of which Mr. Simmons is sole trustee, or is held by Mr. Simmons or persons or other entities related to Mr. Simmons. Mr. Simmons, the Chairman of the Board of each of Contran and Valhi, may be deemed to control each of such companies and the Employer. Contributions. The Plan permits participants to defer 1% to 100% of their annual compensation as pre-tax contributions, not to exceed a deferral of $12,000 in 2003 (subject to adjustment in future years), through payroll deductions. Participants who will be at least age 50 by the end of the Plan year may elect to make "catch-up" contributions, not to exceed an additional deferral of $2,000 in 2003 (subject to adjustments in future years) through payroll deductions. The Employer's contribution is based upon a profit-sharing formula and the Employer's profit, as defined, during the Plan year. The Employer's contribution is allocated to participants' accounts on a percentage or matching basis relative to the participants' contributions (excluding catch-up contributions) for the year. The Employer's contribution is reduced, as provided by the Plan, by nonvested amounts forfeited by participants who withdraw from the Plan. At December 31, 2002 and 2003, unallocated forfeited nonvested accounts were $45,501 and $73,250 respectively. No forfeitures were used to reduce employer contributions for the year ended December 31, 2003. Vesting and benefits. Salary deferrals (including earnings thereon) are immediately vested while Employer contributions (including earnings thereon) vest at the rate of 20% per year of service, as defined. Upon termination of employment, retirement, death or disability, a participant (or beneficiary, if applicable) may elect to receive either (i) a lump sum amount equal to the vested value of the participant's accounts or (ii) installments over a period of not more than 30 years. With the consent of the Plan administrators, participants can borrow amounts from their vested account balances, subject to certain limitations under the Plan. Benefits are recorded when paid. Participants' accounts. Participants can direct the Plan administrator to invest, in 1% increments, their account balance in publicly-traded registered investment companies or pooled funds administered by Putnam Investments or in CompX International Inc. common stock (not to exceed 25% of account balances). Below are the investment fund options available to participants at December 31, 2003: Putnam Voyager Fund - Seeks capital appreciation. Invests primarily in common stocks. Putnam Vista Fund - Seeks capital appreciation. Invests primarily in common stocks. Putnam International Capital Opportunities - Seeks long-term capital appreciation. Invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of stocks of small to midsize companies located outside of the United States. The George Putnam Fund of Boston - Seeks to provide a balanced investment which will produce both capital growth and current income. Invests in a diversified group of stocks and bonds. PIMCO Total Return Fund - Seeks maximum current income and price appreciation. Invests in fixed-income securities from all major sectors of the bond market. UAM ICM Small Company Portfolio Fund - Seeks maximum, long-term total return. Invests in common stocks of smaller to midsize companies. Putnam Stable Value Fund - This pooled fund seeks stable principal and relatively high current income. Invests primarily in high-quality fixed-income investments. Putnam Asset Allocation Fund - Growth Portfolio - Seeks capital appreciation. Invests in both stocks and bonds. Putnam Asset Allocation Fund - Balanced Portfolio - Seeks total return. Invests in both stocks and bonds. Putnam Asset Allocation Fund - Conservative Portfolio - Seeks total return with preservation of capital. Invests in both stocks and bonds. Putnam S&P 500 Index Fund - This pooled fund seeks to mirror the performance and composition of Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Index. Putnam Equity Income Fund - Seeks to provide current income by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of income producing equity securities. Putnam International Equity Fund - Seeks capital appreciation. Invests in growth and value stocks outside of the United States. Managers Special Equity Fund - Seeks capital appreciation through investment primarily in the equity securities of a diversified group of companies expected to have superior earnings and growth potential. The fund's investments will tend to be in the securities of companies having small to medium market capitalizations. Company Stock Fund - Invests in CompX International Inc. class A common stock. The above fund descriptions provide only general information. Participants should refer to the Prospectus of each fund for a more complete description. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and an allocation of the Employer's contribution and Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings, matching or account balances, as defined in the Plan. In addition to the investment fund options, a "Loan Fund" is maintained to account for loans to participants, as permitted by the Plan. A participant is able to borrow from his/her fund account an amount ranging from a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum that is generally equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of his/her vested account balance. A loan is collateralized by the balance in the participant's account and bears interest at rates commensurate with local prevailing rates. For outstanding loans at December 31, 2003, the interest rates ranged from 5.00% to 10.5% and mature through 2017. Plan termination. The Employer has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan, in compliance with the provisions of ERISA. In the event the Plan is terminated, the accounts of all participants will become fully vested. Basis of accounting. The financial statements of the Plan are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Valuation of investments is more fully described in Note 2. Management estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may, in some instances, differ from previously estimated amounts. Risks and uncertainties. The Plan provides for various investment options in a variety of stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds, and other investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the Plan's statement of net assets available for benefits. Expenses of administering the Plan. The Plan provides that the Employer will generally reimburse the Plan for administrative expenses paid by the Plan. The Employer paid a significant portion of the 2003 administrative expenses. Tax status. The Plan has been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that it is a qualified plan under Section 401(a) and Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), and is therefore exempt from federal income taxes under provisions of Section 501(a) of the Code. The Plan has been amended since it was notified of its exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. Management believes the Plan currently is designed and operates in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Code and therefore remains exempt from federal income taxes under provisions of Section 501(a) of the Code. In February 2002, the Plan submitted the Plan's document to the Internal Revenue Service for approval. Note 2 - Investments: General. The assets of the Plan are held and the related investment transactions are executed by Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company as trustee (the "Trustee") of the CompX Master 401(k) Plan Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust invests in publicly-traded registered investment companies, pooled funds administered by Putnam Investments and CompX International Inc. class A common stock (see Note 1). The Plan's investments are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices and net appreciation for the year is reflected in the Plan's statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits. The net appreciation consists of realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. The following presents investments that represent 5 percent or more of the Plan's net assets at year end:
