           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               JUNE 30,1999
                                (Unaudited)

(1)  Basis of Presentation

     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 three and nine months ended June
     30, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
     expected for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999.  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 notes of Florida Rock Industries, Inc. for the
     year ended September 30, 1998.  Certain amounts for prior periods
     have been reclassified to conform with presentation adopted in 1999.


(2)  Acquisitions

     On June 1, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the
     common stock of Harper Brothers, Inc. and Commercial Testing, Inc.
     ("Harper") located in Ft. Myers, Florida for $87 million in cash.
     The purchase price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments
     related to working capital.   On July 2, 1999, the Company sold the
     fixed assets of Harper's highway and heavy construction operations
     for $13.1 million in cash.  The Company is under a six month consent
     order with the Department of Justice to divest of Harper's sand mine
     and the Company's quarry operation in Ft. Myers.   At June 30, 1999,
     the Company has classified the assets of Harper's highway and heavy
     construction operations and sand mine as Assets Held for Sale in the
     accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

     On June 11, 1999, the Company acquired all of the common stock of
     Custom, LTD for $5.8 million in cash.

     These acquisitions were accounted for under purchase accounting with
     the purchase price allocated to the acquired assets and assumed
     liabilities based on estimated fair market values.   The allocation
     of purchase price is subject to change based on final determination
     of the purchase price and fair market value of the net assets.  The
     estimated fair market value of the assets acquired and liabilities
     assumed were considered to be the best estimates as of the
     acquisition dates and may be adjusted as more information is
     obtained.   The excess of the purchase price over the fair market
     value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed amount to
     $41,257,000 at June 30, 1999 and is being amortized over 20 to 30
     years.  The results of operations of these acquisitions since the
     date of acquisition are included in the consolidated results of
     operations of the Company.  The effect on the Company's results of
     operations for three months and nine months ended June 30, 1999 was
     not material and as a result no proforma information is provided.
     The acquisition was funded by borrowings under the Company's existing
     revolving credit agreements and a new $50 million line of credit.

(4)  Interest Rate Hedge Agreements

     In anticipation of obtaining a financing commitment to provide
     capital for various projects and equipment, the Company entered into
     interest rate hedge agreements for a notional amount of $70,000,000
     with a settlement date of December 31, 1998 in an attempt to manage
     the interest rate risk associated with securing a long-term fixed
     rate at a future date.   A number of factors were taken into account
     with respect to the specific timing associated with securing a firm
     financing commitment.   Among those was the timing associated with
     management's expectations of when the cash is required for the
     capital outlays.  The Company originally anticipated a firm financing
     commitment would be arranged with a private placement offering during
     the first or second quarter of fiscal 1999.

     On December 31, 1998, the Company settled the agreements pursuant to
     the contracts and on January 4, 1999 made a payment of $4,214,000.
     As a result of changed capital requirements, improved cash flow and
     adequate existing credit availability, management decided not to
     pursue a commitment for long-term financing.   Accordingly, the
     settlement cost was expensed in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

 (6) Preferred Shareholder Rights Plan

     On May 5, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
     dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each
     outstanding share of common stock.   The dividend was payable on June
     11, 1999.  Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from
     the Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior
     Participating Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $.01 per
     share  (The "Preferred Shares"),  at  a  price  of  $145  per one
     one-hundredth of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment.

     In the event that any Person or group of affiliated or associated
     Persons (an "Acquiring Person") acquires beneficial ownership of 15%
     or more of the Company's outstanding common stock each holder of a
     Right, other than Rights beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person
     (which will thereafter be void), will thereafter have the right to
     receive upon exercise that number of Common Shares having a market
     value of two times the exercise price of the Right.   An Acquiring
     Person excludes any Person or group of affiliated or associated
     Persons who were beneficial owners, individually or collectively, of
     15% or more of the Company's Common Shares on May 4, 1999.

     The rights will initially trade together with the Company's common
     stock and will not be exercisable.   However, if an Acquiring Person
     acquires 15% or more of the Company's common stock the rights may
     become exercisable and trade separately in the absence of future
     board action.   The Board of Directors may, at its option, redeem all
     rights for $.01 per right, at any time prior to the rights becoming
     exercisable.   The rights will expire September 30, 2009 unless
     earlier redeemed, exchanged or amended by the Board.

(7)  Legal Proceedings

     The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to legal proceedings and
     claims arising out of their businesses that cover a wide range of
     matters.  Additional information concerning these matters is

     included in the Company's 1998 Annual Report to stockholders, Item 3
     "Legal Proceedings" of the Company's Form 10-K for fiscal 1998 and

     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operating Results

For the third quarter of fiscal 1999, ended June 30, 1999, consolidated net
sales increased 15.4% to $152,257,000 from $131,973,000 in the same quarter
last year.  For the nine months of fiscal 1999, consolidated net sales
increased 22.3% to $429,459,000 from $351,208,000 last year. The increase in
sales was primarily attributable to strong demand for construction products in
the Company's markets.  Sales also increased as a result of modest price
increases in core products.

Gross profit for the third quarter increased 17.1% to $36,406,000 from
$31,090,000 last year.  For the first nine months of 1999, gross profit
increased 30.2% to $97,900,000 from $75,190,000 last year.  The increase in
gross profit was primarily attributed to higher sales levels and modest price
increases.

Gross profit margin for the third quarter increased to 23.9% from 23.6% and for
the nine months increased to 22.8% from 21.4% last year primarily as a result
of the improved sales and lower maintenance and other quarry costs compared to
costs incurred during last year.

Selling, general and administrative expense excluding system upgrades increased
12.7% for the third quarter and 16.0% for the nine months.  The increase was
primarily attributable to the increase in sales, increased profit sharing and
incentive compensation which is linked to profitability.  Selling, general and
administrative expense excluding system upgrades for the third quarter
decreased to 9.0% of sales from 9.2% last year and for the nine months
decreased to 9.2% from 9.7% last year. System upgrades/Year 2000 costs totaled
$1,143,000 and $4,538,000 for the third quarter and for the nine months of
1999, respectively.   These costs were $206,000 for the third quarter and nine
months of 1998.

Interest expense for the third quarter increased to $300,000 from $218,000 due
to increased borrowing partially offset by an increase in the amount of
interest capitalized.  For the  nine months interest expense decreased to
$308,000 from $552,000 last year due to an increase in the amount of interest
capitalized this year partially offset by increase borrowings.  For the third
quarter of fiscal 1999, interest capitalized was $864,000 versus $337,000 last
year.  For the nine months of 1999, interest capitalized was $2,093,000 versus
$737,000 last year.

As discussed in Note 4, the Company expensed during the first quarter of fiscal
1999 $4,214,000 in conjunction with interest rate hedge agreements.  Included
in other income for first nine months of 1999 is $805,000 of income from a
settlement of a class action lawsuit and $1,177,000 from the gain on the sale
of real estate.

Year 2000 Conversion.   The Company, like most entities relying on automated
data processing, is faced with the task of modifying systems to become Year
2000 compliant.  During 1996, the Company began an analysis to determine which
of its business systems were not Year 2000 compliant. During the second quarter
of calendar 1998, the Company completed the development of plans for addressing
its Year 2000 exposure as well as reengineering selective systems to enhance
their functionality. A steering committee has been formed to monitor the
progress of becoming Year 2000 compliant.   This committee is comprised of key
personnel from the major functional areas of the Company and meets monthly.
The Committee reports the progress of the Company's Year 2000 conversion to the
Board of Directors.

The Company is in various stages of modifying or replacing both internally
developed and purchased software.  The Company has purchased new state of the
art financial and administrative systems software and hardware that is
represented to be Year 2000 compliant.  An implementation consultant has been
engaged to assist in replacing the existing major systems.  During the first
quarter of calendar 1999, the Company began to phase-in modules of the
purchased software.  The Company has implemented general ledger, fixed assets,
purchasing and accounts payable modules.   During August and September of 1999,
accounts receivable, billing and payroll modules will be implemented.
Substantially all of the internally generated software is now Year 2000
compliant.  The balance will be Year 2000 compliant in the near future.

The Company has completely surveyed all its locations to identify operating
equipment which may be affected by Year 2000.  The Company is in process of
testing such equipment to determine if such equipment is Year 2000 compliant.
 When equipment has been identified as not Year 2000 compliant, the Company is
determining remediation steps to be taken including replacing the equipment.

Vendors, suppliers and customers that are critical to the Company's operations
have been identified.   Questionnaires were sent to these entities to determine
their state of readiness for Year 2000.   The Company is evaluating responses
from these questionnaires and contacting vendors and suppliers where necessary.
 The Company will identify alternative vendors and suppliers as a contingency
if any of the current suppliers do not appear to be taking corrective actions
and are not Year 2000 compliant.

The Company, under an agreement with its affiliate, FRP Properties, Inc.
("FRPP"), provides certain administrative services, including automated data
processing to FRPP ("FRPP Services").   The FRPP Services are included within
the scope of the Company's Year 2000 project.

The costs associated with the purchase and installation of the software and
hardware will be capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of
the software or hardware.   At June 30, 1999, approximately $4,179,000 had been
capitalized.   Other costs associated with the project such as selection,
training and reengineering of the existing processes are being expensed as
incurred.   The Company has expensed $2,209,000 during fiscal 1998 and
$4,538,000 during the first nine months of 1999 of which $1,143,000 was
recorded in the third quarter related to this project.  Based on current
information, the Company estimates that it will incur an additional $3,400,000
over the next six months as a result of the Year 2000 project of which
approximately 65% will be capitalized.

The Company feels it is addressing in a timely manner the major issues related
to the Year 2000 and any significant disruptive problems in its ability to
conduct its business as a result are unlikely.   The Company's contingency
plans are substantially completed and will be finalized during the third
quarter of calendar 1999. This plan will assess the risks and possible
countermeasures.   However, despite efforts and initiatives undertaken by the
Company, total assurance can not be given that absolute compliance can be
achieved.   There can be no guarantees that the computer systems of other
entities on which the Company relies will be converted in a timely manner or
that their failure to convert, or a conversion that is incompatible with the
Company's system, will not have an adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.

Summary and Outlook.  General economic conditions are expected to remain
favorable for the remainder of the year and should continue to be positive for
the industry and Company notwithstanding indications that the economy is likely
to slow in the last half of the year.  Despite the recent rate hike by the
Federal Reserve, the impact on the industry's fundamentals should be minor.
Strong demand for construction aggregates and concrete products should continue
and remain unabated through the end of the year.  Residential construction in
the Company's markets continues to be healthy with the level of activity
continuing to vary by region.   Non-residential construction remains strong
although there are indications of slowing activity in some areas.   Public
spending on federal highways and infrastructure should increase in the later
half of the calendar year as a result of the Transportation Equity Act for the
21st Century (TEA21).   The Company anticipates a strong fourth quarter and
record year.

Financial Condition

The Company continues to maintain its financial condition.   During January
1999, the Company increased its available short-term lines of credit by
$10,000,000. In May 1999, the Company arranged a $50,000,000 364 day credit
facility that expires in May 2000.  Management believes that internal sources
of cash flow and current availability under existing credit agreements provide
adequate sources of liquidity to finance its operations and planned capital
expenditures.

In February 1999, the Board of Directors authorized management to repurchase
$20,000,000 of the Company's common stock from time to time as opportunities
may arise.   The Company has purchased approximately $2,000,000 under this
authorization.   In August 1999, the Board of Directors changed the dividend
payment dates from semi-annually to quarterly and declared an increase in the
dividend from $.25 per share to $.40 per share on an annual basis.   The first
quarterly cash dividend of $.10 per share will be payable October 1, 1999, to
shareholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 1999.

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 in Item 3 "Legal Proceedings" of the Company's Form 10-K for
fiscal 1998 and such information is incorporated herein by reference.

Cement Plant.   The Company commenced the construction of the cement plant near
Newberry, Alachua County, Florida in March 1997 with an estimated cost of $100
million.  Construction has entered the final stages and nears completion.   The
Company anticipates that construction will be completed by the end of the
fiscal year at which time the Company will commission the plant into service
and begin the steps necessary to place the plant in production which should be
completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2000.  The Company received
necessary zoning and permit approvals from Alachua County and the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection.  Lawsuits pertaining to the appeal of
the zoning and air permits issued for the plant were resolved in favor of the
Company.  A local Alachua County citizens' Clean Air referendum on the ballot
for the November 3, 1998 general election which would have been adverse to the
Company was rejected.   On January 22, 1999, the County Comissioners of Alachua
County, Florida voted 3-2 to make the Company's cement plant comply with
emissions standards submitted to the county in November 1994 on the Company's
initial special-use permit application.   The Company had revised its
submission before approval and issuance by Alachua County of the special-use
permit to incorporate standards approximating those contained in the air permit
issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.   The new Alachua
County action on its face requires the Company to comply with much stricter
emission levels than approved by the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection.   If this Alachua County action is enforced and upheld the Company
does not believe it could comply.   On January 25, 1999 the City Commissioners
of Newberry, Florida voted 4-0 to annex the Company's cement plant site into
the city.   The Company anticipates that future land use and zoning matters
relating to the cement plant will be under the jurisdiction of the City of
Newberry, initially subject to Alachua County existing special-use permit
zoning with such other conditions, if any, as may be held to be valid and
enforceable.   The Company has filed suit against Alachua County to enforce its
permit as originally issued.

The Company will continue to defend vigorously its legal and constitutional
rights.
