NOTE 4.  REAL ESTATE DISPOSITION AND ACQUISITION
- ------------------------------------------------


       In May 1999,  the Company  sold its  shopping  center  located in Newnan,
Georgia. The sale was structured as a tax-deferred,  like-kind exchange pursuant
to Internal  Revenue Code Section 1031,  which allows a deferral of the tax gain
if the Company  utilizes the proceeds of the sale to purchase  other real estate
within 180 days of the sale. The proceeds were used in July 1999, to purchase an
approximately  174,000  square foot  shopping  center  located in  Jacksonville,
Florida for  $9,000,000.  The purchase was also  financed  with cash held by the
Company, and the Company's lines of credit. Subsequently,  the Company closed on
a permanent  mortgage  loan secured by the property and used the proceeds to pay
back the lines of credit. The permanent loan, in the amount of $9,500,000, bears
interest at 7.375% and is scheduled  to be fully  amortized  over twenty  years.
Loan  proceeds  received  in  excess  of the  purchase  price  were  used to pay
financing  costs  and  are  available  for  use  for  tenant   improvements  and
commissions  on new  leases.  The loan may be called  at any time by the  lender
after  September 1, 2002. If the loan were called,  the Company would have up to
thirteen  months to prepay the loan without  penalty.  In  conjunction  with the
loan, an Additional Interest Agreement was executed which entitles the lender to
be paid  additional  interest  equal to fifty  percent of the quarterly net cash
flow  and  fifty  percent  of the  appreciation  in the  property  upon  sale or
refinance.

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

Changes in  CONSOLIDATED  BALANCE  SHEETS  between April 30, 1999,  and July 31,
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999.
- -----

         Accounts   receivable   decreased   by   $1,745,137   and   Trade   and
subcontractors  payable increased by $2,358,570  primarily because of the timing
of the submission and payment of invoices for construction work performed.

         Property held for sale  decreased  $3,573,546  primarily as a result of
the sale of a shopping center in Newnan, Georgia.

       Income-producing  properties  increased  by  $8,738,955  primarily  as  a
result of the purchase of an  approximately  174,000 square foot shopping center
in Jacksonville,  Florida.  Publix Super Markets previously leased approximately
86,000 square feet of space in the center, which it has vacated, while remaining
fully obligated under its lease until August 2010.

       Short term borrowings decreased by $6,690,514 primarily due to repayments
on the lines of credit. On April 30,1999, in order to facilitate the sale of the
Newnan,  Georgia  shopping  center,  the Company drew $5,600,000 on the lines of
credit to have funds  available to pay the related  mortgage debt. This draw was
repaid in May 1999.

       Accrued  expenses  decreased  by  $2,328,743  because  of the  payment of
year-end accruals.

       Current maturities of long-term debt decreased by $5,161,972 primarily as
a result of the payoff of the related mortgage loan upon the sale of the Newnan,
Georgia shopping center.

       Deferred  income taxes  increased by $939,038  reflecting  the income tax
deferral  of the  gain  on  the  sale  of the  Newnan,  Georgia  property.  This
transaction was structured as a like-kind  exchange 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 federal tax
on the gain of this sale.

       Other  liabilities  (long-term)  increased by  $2,106,067  primarily as a
result of the participation liability related to the participating mortgage loan
placed on the newly acquired Jacksonville center discussed above.

       Mortgage  notes payable,  less current  maturities,  increased $7,232,146
primarily  as a  result  of the  placement  of the  loan on the  newly  acquired
shopping center in Jacksonville, Florida, as discussed above.

<FN>

<F1>   REVENUES for first  quarter  2000 were lower than those of first  quarter
       1999  because of a decrease in sales to an existing  customer,  partially
       offset by an increase in sales to new and other existing customers.

<F2>   REVENUES for first  quarter  2000 were higher than those of first quarter
       1999 primarily  because of increased orders from two major customers.  In
       the first quarter 1999, the manufacturing  segment had a decline in sales
       orders during its move into its new facility.

<F3>   REVENUES for first  quarter 2000 were higher than those of first  quarter
       1999 primarily due to the sale of the Newnan,  Georgia  shopping  center.
       There were no real estate sales in first quarter 1999.

<FN>
<F1>  The  decrease  in the  percentage  of COSTS AND  EXPENSES:  Applicable  to
      REVENUES for first  quarter 2000 compared to first quarter 1999 was due to
      an improvement in manufacturing efficiencies in the current  period  after
      experiencing  a disruption  in the prior year caused by the  relocation of
      the manufacturing facility.

<F2>  The increase in the dollar  amount of COSTS AND  EXPENSES:  Applicable  to
      REVENUES  for  first  quarter  2000  compared  to first  quarter  1999 was
      primarily attributable to the sale of the Newnan, Georgia shopping center.

             SELLING, SHIPPING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

       For the first quarter 2000 and the first quarter 1999, Selling, shipping,
general and administrative  expenses, prior to intersegment  eliminations,  were
$3,925,526  and  $3,118,955,  respectively.  As  a  percentage  of  Consolidated
REVENUES, these expenses were 7% and 6%, 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,

<F1>   On a dollar amount basis, Selling,  shipping,  general and administrative
       expenses  were higher for first  quarter 2000  compared to first  quarter
       1999 primarily because of an increase in incentive compensation.

<F2>   On  a  dollar  and  percentage  basis,  Selling,  shipping,  general  and
       administrative  expenses  were higher for first  quarter 2000 compared to
       first quarter 1999  primarily  because of (a) increased  rent expense and
       (b) the accrual of severance and consulting fees payable to the Company's
       former CEO. The  increase in rent expense was  primarily a result of rent
       reimbursements  paid by the  Parent  to the  manufacturing  segment.  The
       manufacturing  segment is paying rent on its  facility to the real estate
       segment,  the owner of the facility.  The Parent, upon receipt of payment
       from the real estate segment,  is reimbursing  part of the  manufacturing
       segment's  rental payment.  The  reimbursement is equal to the difference
       between the rental  expense and the debt service on the facility  paid by
       the real estate segment.

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

       Between April 30, 1999, and July 31, 1999, working  capital  increased by
$2,386,856.   Operating  activities  provided  cash  of  $1,975,154.   Investing
activities  used cash of  $2,798,634  primarily for the purchase of the shopping
center in Jacksonville, Florida, which was partially offset by proceeds from the
sale of the Newnan,  Georgia shopping center.  Financing activities used cash of
$3,126,385  primarily for  repayments  on the Company's  lines of credit and the
payoff of the mortgage on the Newnan  center.  The proceeds of the mortgage loan
on the newly acquired Jacksonville center partially offset this usage of cash.

       At July  31,  1999,  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  had  available
unsecured committed lines of credit totaling $13,000,000,  of which $243,022 was
outstanding,  $12,256,978 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 November 2000, at which
time it  will  be  used  to pay  down  the  mortgage  loan  if  certain  leasing
requirements are not attained. In addition,  the Company has a committed line of
credit totaling $2,500,000, secured by the Manufacturing Segment's inventory and
receivables, of which $1,114,686 was outstanding.

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

       The Year 2000 has  presented a problem  for  companies  who use  computer
systems  that  were  developed  without the ability to  properly  recognize  and
process  data  relating  to the Year 2000 and beyond.  Such  systems may include
hardware,  software and other  telecommunications  information  systems (IT), as
well as computer systems that do not relate to information  technology,  such as
building  and other  ancillary  systems  (non-IT).  The  Company,  its  vendors,
suppliers,  and other  significant third party service providers are all exposed
to the  potential  disruption  of operations if such systems are not replaced or
remediated.

       The Company has  substantially  completed its assessment and  remediation
efforts for achieving  Year 2000  compliance in its IT and non-IT  systems.  All
computer   hardware  and  software  have  been   inventoried  and  tested.   The
Construction Segment has purchased a new Year 2000 compliant accounting software
package and upgraded its computer hardware system.  The cost of the software and
hardware and the  installation  thereof is not  considered  to be material.  The
Company  installed the new hardware and software  during the second quarter 1999
and began using it in the third quarter 1999. The  Manufacturing  Segment,  at a
nominal cost, upgraded its current accounting software to be Year 2000 compliant
in July 1999,  and the Real Estate  Segment's  accounting  software is Year 2000
compliant.  Other  non-compliant  hardware and software  review and  remediation
costs are considered to be minimal.

       The  Company  has  conducted  a  written  survey  of its  IT  and  non-IT
significant  third party vendors and service  providers to determine  their Year
2000 compliance  status.  The responses have indicated these  businesses will be
substantially  compliant on a timely basis. The Company,  however, cannot ensure
that various third parties with which it deals will be Year 2000 compliant.  The
failure of various third parties, such as banks, significant customers,  tenants
and  vendors  to become  Year 2000  compliant  on a timely  basis  could have an
adverse impact on the Company's business.

       Uncertainty  exists  concerning  the  scope  and  magnitude  of the  most
reasonably  likely  worst  case  scenario.  The  Company  has  not  developed  a
contingency  plan for dealing with any  catastrophic  failure of the government,
utility companies,  lending  institutions or other regulated agencies,  but will
consider the need for such if public or other information regarding the state of
readiness  of  these  entities  or other  significant  third  parties  indicates
imminent problems.

       There can be no  assurance  that the Company will be able to identify and
correct  all  aspects  of the  effect  of the Year  2000  issue on the  Company.
Management,  however,  does not  believe  that the Year  2000  issue  will  pose
significant  problems in its IT or non-IT  systems,  or that  resolution  of any
potential  problems with respect to these systems will have a material effect on
the  Company's  financial  condition  or  results  of  operations.  Readers  are
cautioned that  forward-looking  statements regarding Year 2000 issues should be
read in conjunction with the Company's disclosures under the heading "Cautionary
statement regarding forward-looking statements."

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------

       Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk were disclosed
as required in Form 10-K for fiscal year ended April 30, 1999. In July 1999, the
Company  entered into a mortgage loan  agreement  secured by the newly  acquired
Jacksonville  shopping center.  The permanent loan, in the amount of $9,500,000,
bears  interest at 7.375% and is  scheduled  to be fully  amortized  over twenty
years. The loan may be called at any time by the lender after September 1, 2002.
If the loan were called,  the Company would have up to thirteen months to prepay
the loan without penalty.  In conjunction with the loan, an Additional  Interest
Agreement was executed which entitles the lender to be paid additional  interest
equal to fifty  percent of the  quarterly net cash flow and fifty percent of the
appreciation in the property upon sale or refinance.
