NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 1998 AND APRIL 30, 1997
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. UNAUDITED STATEMENTS
- -----------------------------
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
financial statements contain all adjustments, which consist solely of
normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of the results
for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the
notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for
the year ended April 30, 1997. Results of operations for interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
NOTE 2. RECEIVABLES
- --------------------
All contract and trade receivables are expected to be collected
within one year.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS between APRIL 30, 1997, and
January 31, 1998.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
Trade and subcontractors payable increased by $1,319,872 and
Billings in excess of costs and earnings increased by $1,207,103,
primarily because of increased construction activity and the
timing of the submission and payment of invoices for construction
work performed.
4<PAGE>
Short-term investments increased by $3,564,766 as a portion
of the proceeds of an $11,000,000 bond financing (see details
under Mortgage notes and bonds payable section within this item)
were invested for more that 90 days in U.S. Treasury or its
agencies' obligations. These funds will be used for construction
of the Company's new manufacturing facility.
Property held for sale decreased $4,840,854 primarily as a
result of the sales of shopping centers in Oakwood, Georgia and
Newark, Ohio and an outparcel in North Fort Myers, Florida. Each
of these properties was sold at a gain. One other outparcel,
located in North Fort Myers, Florida has been reclassified from
Property held for sale to Land held for future development or
sale. At January 31, 1998, the only Property held for sale was
the Company's existing manufacturing facility in Atlanta,
Georgia.
Income-producing properties increased by $11,557,450 with
the purchase of (1) an approximately 66,000 square foot, 4-story
office building located in Atlanta, Georgia which the Company
partially occupies as its corporate, construction segment and
real estate segment headquarters and (2) an approximately 114,000
square foot, twelve building office park located in Marietta,
Georgia. The acquisitions were partially offset by the sale of
the Tifton, Georgia Kmart, which also sold at a gain.
Property, plant and equipment increased by $3,839,542,
primarily from land acquisition and construction costs associated
with the Company's new manufacturing facility. This facility is
expected to be ready for occupancy in the summer, 1998.
Accrued expenses decreased by $1,325,209 because of the
payment of year-end accruals.
Current maturities of long-term debt decreased by $6,011,133
as the mortgages on the sold Oakwood, Georgia shopping center and
the Newark, Ohio Kmart (discussed above) were assumed or paid off
by the purchasers. In addition, the Company refinanced $2,100,000
in current maturities with a $3,500,000 permanent, long-term loan
for the Jackson, Michigan shopping center.
Deferred income taxes increased by $1,518,100 with the
deferral of the gains on the sales of the Oakwood, Georgia,
Newark, Ohio and Tifton, Georgia properties. These transactions
were structured as like-kind exchanges pursuant to Internal
Revenue Code Section 1031, which allows a deferral of the
recognition of the tax gain if the Company utilizes the proceeds
of the sale to purchase other real estate within 180 days of the
sale. Management believes it has complied with the provisions of
Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 and thus will defer most of
the tax gain on these sales.
Mortgage notes and bonds payable increased by $19,838,081
primarily as a result of (1) an $11,000,000 bond financing
obtained for the construction of the Company's new manufacturing
facility, (2) a $6,480,000 permanent loan placement on the office
park in Marietta, Georgia, and (3) the $3,500,000 refinancing of
the Jackson, Michigan property discussed above. The increase was
partially offset by the repayment of the mortgage on the Tifton,
Georgia Kmart when the property was sold, as discussed above.
5<PAGE>
Other long-term debt increased by $2,195,819 with the
acquisition financing of the corporate headquarters property in
Atlanta, Georgia. This was partially offset by the repayment of
the Jackson, Michigan property loan when it was refinanced.

an increase of less than 1%. For the first nine months of fiscal
1998, Consolidated REVENUES were $134,520,330, compared to
$92,403,928 for the first nine months of fiscal 1997, an increase

NOTES TO CHART A
<FN>
<F1> REVENUES for the third quarter and first nine months of 1998 were higher
than those for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997
primarily because of increased sales to one of the Company's
customers.
<F2> REVENUES for the third quarter and first nine months of 1998
were higher than those for the third quarter and first nine
months of 1997 primarily as a result of additional income
from the introduction of installation services.
<F3> REVENUES for the third quarter of 1998 were lower than
those for the third quarter of 1997 primarily because of the
sale of an outparcel in the prior year. There were no real
estate sales in the third quarter of 1998. Revenues for the
first nine months of 1998 were higher than those of the same
period of 1997 because of an increase in property sales.
This increase was partially offset by decreased rental
income, primarily as a result of property sales previously
discussed.

NOTES TO CHART B
<FN>
<F1> For the third quarter and the first nine months 1998 as compared to the
third quarter and first nine months 1997, the increase in the
percentage of COSTS AND EXPENSES: Applicable to REVENUES is a result
of a highly competitive environment in the construction industry.
<F2> For the first nine months 1998 as compared to the same period 1997,
the increase in the percentage of COSTS AND EXPENSES: Applicable to
REVENUES is attributable to the product mix of fixtures sold and the
installation of fixtures. The installation of fixtures is a new line
of business that the Company is offering to better service its
customers and does not command the same profit margin as does
manufacturing fixtures.
7<PAGE>
<F3> The increase in the dollar amount of COSTS AND EXPENSES: Applicable
to REVENUES for the first nine months 1998 compared to the same
period 1997 is attributable to real estate sales.
</FN>
</TABLE>
SELLING, SHIPPING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
For the third quarter 1998 and the third quarter 1997, Selling,
shipping, general and administrative expenses were $3,320,901 and
$3,185,546, respectively. As a percentage of Consolidated REVENUES,
these expenses were 9% for both periods. For the first nine months 1998
and the first nine months 1997, Selling, shipping, general and
administrative expenses were $9,143,078 and $7,961,582, respectively. As
a percentage of Consolidated REVENUES, these expenses were 7% and 9%,
respectively. In reviewing Chart C, the reader should recognize that the
volume of revenues generally will affect the amounts and percentages.
The percentages in Chart C are based upon expenses as they relate to
Segment REVENUES (Chart A) prior to Intersegment eliminations, except
that Parent and Total expenses relate to Consolidated REVENUES.

INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS.
The Company has entered into two interest rate swap agreements
with SunTrust Bank, Atlanta, in an effort to minimize exposure to
interest rate fluctuations in connection with the $11,000,000
bond financing discussed earlier. The bonds bear interest at
prevailing market rates, reset weekly. The first swap agreement
became effective February 4, 1998, and terminates February 1,
2001. The notional amount reduces annually from $5,500,000 at
February 4, 1998, to $5,300,000 at the expiration of the
agreement. The agreement calls for the Company to make fixed rate
payments to SunTrust of 5.57% per annum of the notional amount,
in exchange for SunTrust making floating rate payments based on
the 30-day Non-financial AA Commercial Paper rate.
The second interest rate swap agreement became effective February 4,
1998, and terminates February 1, 2003. The notional amount
reduces annually from $5,500,000 at February 4, 1998, to
$5,057,500 at the expiration of the agreement. The remaining
terms of the second agreement are identical to the terms of the
first except the fixed rate payment is 5.67% per annum.
The notional amounts of the swap agreements are set to follow the
principal outstanding amount of the bonds. The swap floating
rates are reset weekly, and the Company settles with the
counterparty monthly. The Company expects the counterparty to the
agreements to abide by the terms of the agreements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
Between April 30, 1997, and January 31, 1998, working capital
increased by $9,962,586. Operating activities provided cash of
$681,934. Investing activities used cash of $11,602,901 for land
and construction costs of the new manufacturing facility, for the
purchases of the corporate headquarters and the office park as
previously discussed, and for the investment in short-term
government obligations, offset by proceeds from the sales of the
Oakwood, Georgia shopping center, the Newark, Ohio Kmart and the
Tifton, Georgia Kmart. Financing activities provided cash of
$15,230,753 through (1) a mortgage note secured by the office
park in Marietta, Georgia, (2) a mortgage note used to refinance
the Jackson, Michigan property, (3) a bond financing for the new
manufacturing facility and (4) other long-term debt used to
acquire the corporate headquarters office building in Atlanta,
Georgia. At January 31, 1998, the Company and its subsidiaries
had available unsecured committed lines of credit totaling
$7,000,000, and a committed line of credit totalling $2,500,000
secured by the manufacturing segment's receivables and inventory,
of which none was outstanding. In February, 1998, the Company
purchased an 86,000 square foot shopping center in Cincinnati,
Ohio. The center was purchased with proceeds from the sale
of the Newark, Ohio and Tifton, Georgia Kmarts and with
cash on hand.
