July 31, 1996.

Accounts receivable decreased by $1,745,960 and Accounts payable
decreased by $2,389,139 primarily because of decreased sales in
both the Construction and Manufacturing Segments.  Accrued
expenses decreased by $1,311,298 because of the payment of year-
end accruals.  Other liabilities increased by $3,894,194 primarily
because of the accrual of a construction allowance payable to AMC
Cinema. This new building is owned by the Company and leased to AMC.
The building was completed and occupied in May 1996.  Income-
producing properties increased by an almost similar amount.

<F1>  REVENUES for the first quarter 1997 were lower than those of
the first quarter 1996 primarily because of decreased sales to
one of the Company's customers.

<F2>  REVENUES for the first quarter 1997 were lower than those of
the first quarter 1996 because of the Company's continuing  re-
engineering efforts which emphasize a reduction in volume to
more efficiently control the costs of production.

<F3>  REVENUES for the first quarter 1997 were higher than those
of the first quarter 1996 because of a land sale.  There was no

<F1>  The decrease in the percentage of COSTS AND EXPENSES:
Applicable to REVENUES for the first quarter 1997 compared to the
first quarter 1996 is attributable to the elimination of some low
gross profit margin customers.

<F2>  The decrease in the percentage of COSTS AND EXPENSES:
Applicable to REVENUES for the first quarter 1997 compared to the
first quarter 1996 is attributable to  re-engineering  efforts

corresponding 7% increase in the  percentage of COSTS AND
EXPENSES:  Applicable to REVENUES for the first quarter 1997
