NOTE 4.  STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUTING STANDARDS NO. 130, 
- ------------------------------------------------------------
REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
- ------------------------------

On May 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, REPORTING
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME.  This Statement establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components
in a full set of general purpose financial statements.  The term
"comprehensive income" is used in SFAS 130 to describe the total
of all components of  comprehensive income including net income.
"Other comprehensive income" refers to revenues, expenses, gains,
and losses that are included in comprehensive income but excluded
from earnings under current accounting standards.  The Company
has no "other comprehensive income" to report for the quarters
ended July 31, 1997 and 1998.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
- ----------------------------------------------------------
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
- ------------------------------------

Changes in CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS between April 30, 1998,
- --------------------------------------------------------------
and July 31, 1998.
- -----------------

    Accounts receivable increased by $6,853,084 and Trade and
subcontractors payable increased by $3,208,351 primarily because
of the timing of the submission and payment of invoices for
construction work performed and increased construction activity. 

    Property held for sale increased $3,523,133 as a result of
the reclassification of the net book value of a shopping center
in Newnan, Georgia.  This property was classified as Income-
producing property at April 30, 1998, and was reclassified in
July 1998, as the property is currently being marketed for sale.
The property is expected to be sold for a gain.

     Income-producing properties decreased by $4,017,841
primarily as a result of the reclassification of the net book
value of the shopping center in Newnan, Georgia to Property held
for sale as discussed above.

    Property, plant and equipment increased by $1,922,143,
primarily through additional costs related to the substantial
completion of constructing and equipping the Company's new
manufacturing facility. 

    Accrued expenses decreased by $3,956,289 because of the
payment of year-end accruals.

    Current maturities of long-term debt increased by $5,225,566,
and Mortgage notes payable decreased by $5,440,686, primarily as
a result of the reclassification of the Newnan, Georgia shopping
center mortgage to Current maturities of long-term debt.  The
center is being held for sale as discussed above.

<F1>REVENUES for the first quarter of fiscal year 1999 were higher
    than those of the first quarter of fiscal year 1998 because
    of an increase in sales to existing customers and sales to
    new customers.

<F2>REVENUES for the first quarter 1999 were lower than those of
    the first quarter 1998 primarily because of decreased orders
    from two major customers. 

<F3>REVENUES for the first quarter 1999 were slightly lower
    than those of the first quarter 1998.  The first quarter 1998
    included a real estate sale of $770,000. There were no real
    estate sales in the first quarter of 1999.  The first quarter
    1999 had an increase in rental revenues of $624,181 over
    those of first quarter 1998.

<F1>The increase in the percentage of COSTS AND EXPENSES: Applicable
    to REVENUES for the first quarter 1999 compared to the first
    quarter 1998 was a result of (a) the temporary disruption of
    the segment's normal manufacturing efficiencies caused by the
    relocation to a new facility during the period and (b) a
    change in the product mix of fixtures sold.
</FN>


      SELLING, SHIPPING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

    For the first quarter 1999 and the first quarter 1998,
Selling, shipping, general and administrative expenses, prior to
intersegment eliminations, were $3,118,955 and $2,764,277,
respectively.  As a percentage of Consolidated REVENUES, these
expenses were 6% for both periods.  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.

<F1>On a percentage basis, Selling, shipping, general and

Liquidity and capital resources.
- -------------------------------

    Between April 30, 1998, and July 31, 1998, working capital
decreased by $3,868,858.  Operating activities used cash of
$5,740,038, principally as a result of the increase in
receivables.  Investing activities used cash of $2,161,963,
primarily for additional costs related to constructing and
equipping the new manufacturing facility.  Financing activities
used cash of $382,192 for debt repayment and payment of dividends
to shareholders. At July 31, 1998, the Company and its
subsidiaries had unsecured committed lines of credit totaling
$7,000,000, of which $6,500,000 was available and $500,000 was
reserved for a letter of credit issued as security for a mortgage
loan on an Income-producing property. The letter of credit has
been extended until August 1999 at which time it will be used to
pay down the mortgage if certain leasing requirements are not
attained. In addition, the Company had a committed line of credit
totaling $2,500,000, secured by the Manufacturing Segment's
inventory and receivables, of which none was outstanding.

Year 2000
- ---------

    Management has undertaken a program to prepare the Company's
financial and operating computer systems and ancillary systems
for the year 2000.  The Company has reviewed its computer systems
and has determined that most of its systems are year 2000
compliant.  Where replacement or reprogramming has been found to
be necessary, the Company is either currently making those
changes or has plans to make the changes in the near future.  The
Company's cost of becoming year 2000 compliant is not expected to
be material.
