     The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements include
     the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.  These statements
     have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles for interim financial information and the instructions to
     Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and footnotes
     required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
     financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
     (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
     fair presentation of the results for the interim period have been
     included.  Operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 1997,
     are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
     the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997.  The accompanying
     consolidated financial statements and the information included under
     the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis" should be read in
     conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related

     Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common
     shares outstanding and common stock equivalents, where applicable,
     during the periods.  Fully diluted earnings per share are not reported
     because their effect would have been less than 3% dilutive.

     On June 30, 1997, the Company amended its revolving credit and term
     loan agreement.   Under the amended agreement, the Company may borrow
     up to $75,000,000 on term loans payable in consecutive quarterly
     installments of 5% of the original amount commencing September 30,
     2000 and a final payment of the unpaid balance on June 30, 2003.  
     Interest is payable at the prime rate until June 30, 2000 and at 3/8
     of 1% above such prime rate thereafter.   Alternative interest rates
     based on the London interbank rate and/or the reserve-adjusted
     certificate of deposit rate are available at the Company's option.  
     An annual commitment fee of 3/16 of 1% is payable on the unused amount
     of the commitment.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Operating Results

For the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1997, ended June
30, 1997, consolidated net sales increased 12.3% and 15.1%,
respectively, from the same periods last year.  The increase for the
third quarter was primarily attributable to a higher volume of sales 
and modest price increases.  For the nine months the increase was
primarily attributable to a higher volume of sales, a very mild winter
in our non-Florida markets and modest price increases.  Much of the
modest price increases were in response to higher cement and other cost
increases.

Gross profit increased 14.6% for the third quarter and 29.1% for the
first nine months from the same periods last year.  The increase in
gross profit is a function of higher revenues and the strong marginal
contribution due to the high fixed cost nature of the business.  Gross
profit margin for the third quarter improved to 23.7% from 23.2% and for
the first nine months improved to 21.8% from 19.4% from last year. 
These improvements were due primarily to increased volumes as sales
price increases were substantially offset by higher cement and other
cost increases.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased 9.0% for the third
quarter and 13.7% for the first nine months from the same periods last
year.  Approximately 50% of the increase was due to increases in profit
sharing and incentive compensation which are linked to profitability.  
Selling, general and administrative expense amounted to 8.9% of sales in
current quarter and 9.4% for the first nine months.   These are slightly
lower than the same periods last year.

Interest expense for the third quarter declined to $239,000 from
$647,000 and for the first nine months declined to $754,000 from
$1,576,000 last year primarily due to reduced debt.  Other income, net
for the first nine months of this year includes a loss of $197,000 on
the sale of an asset.  Other income, net for the third quarter and first
nine months of last year include a writedown in the carrying value of
certain real estate of $1,000,000.
  
Summary and Outlook.   The condition of our construction markets remains
good.  While residential activity has slowed from last year's pace, the
trend in commercial construction has been robust.   Construction
activity overall continues at healthy levels in all segments in most of
our markets.   Low inflation and a healthy economy has resulted in
stable to lower interest rates which is favorable for construction
activity and demand.                                          

Financial Condition

The Company continues to maintain its sound financial condition with
sufficient resources to meet anticipated capital expenditures and other
operating requirements.

Other

The Company, as previously reported, commenced construction of the
cement plant, April 7, 1997 despite existing appeals of the air permit
issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and site
permits issued by Alachua County.   The Company believes the current
appeals will be dismissed in due course and is proceeding with the
construction of the plant.

While the Company is affected by environmental regulations, such
regulations are not expected to have a major effect on the Company's
capital expenditures or operating results.  Additional information
concerning environmental matters is presented Item 3 "Legal Proceedings"
of the Company's Form 10-K for fiscal 1996 and such information is
incorporated herein by reference.

   deficiencies in certain isolation pads used in the project.  The
   scope of the damages is undetermined at this time but TAC's
   share of any damages shall be limited to 35% of those of the
   joint venture.
