                                   (Unaudited)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial
     statements and, accordingly, they are condensed and omit disclosures which
     would substantially duplicate those contained in the most recent annual
     report to stockholders.  The financial statements as of June 30, 1994 and
     for the interim periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 are unaudited and, in
     the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal
     recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation. Due to
     the seasonal nature of the Company's business, operating results for the
     interim period ended June 30, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the
     results that may be expected for the full year.

     The financial information as of December 31, 1993 has been derived from the
     audited financial statements as of that date.  For further information,
     refer to the financial statements and notes included in the Company's 1993
     Annual Report to Shareholders.

     The quoted market value of the Company's investment in Rally's at June 30,
     1994 was $27,117,000 and declined to $18,489,000 at July 29, 1994.  The
     Company believes that the decline in the market value of its investment in
     Rally's is temporary.  Accordingly, the Company has not adjusted the
     carrying value of its investment in Rally's to reflect a decline in value.

5.   CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
     On March 31, 1992, as a result of Keystone's voluntary disclosure to the
     Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (DER) of possible
     violations of its waste fuel substitution permits, the DER undertook a
     preliminary investigation of Keystone's waste fuel substitution rates from
     1989 through early 1992.  The DER subsequently issued an Order charging
     Keystone with numerous violations of its air quality permits, relating to
     alleged burning of hazardous waste fuels in quantities in excess of permit
     limits and suspending Keystone's permits to burn waste fuels.  In addition,
     the DER referred the matter to the Pennsylvania Attorney General for
     potential criminal prosecution.  In August 1993, the Attorney General of
     the State of Pennsylvania charged Keystone with one criminal count of
     altering computer records and one count of falsifying records relating to
     the burning of hazardous wastes in late 1991 and early 1992.  The maximum
     penalty to Keystone for both counts is a fine of $25,000. There were no
     allegations or charges by the Attorney General that Keystone violated any
     environmental laws or that there was any harm to the environment or to
     anyone's health. Violations of the terms of the permits are additionally
     subject to civil penalties under the Pennsylvania Air Pollution Control Act
     and related statutes.  Keystone has filed an appeal of the DER Order before
     the Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board.  Keystone also filed, and has
     been granted, a motion for supersedeas to stay the DER Order and reinstate
     the permits until such time as the appeal can be adjudicated.

                                   (Unaudited)


     Based upon the current status of settlement negotiations with the DER, the
     Company estimates its potential liabilities relating to settlement of the
     Order range from $500,000 to $750,000, of which $500,000 has been accrued.
     The Company intends to vigorously defend itself with respect to the
     allegations in the Order if it is unable to reach an acceptable alternative
     resolution of this matter through settlement negotiations with the DER.
     Based on the current stage of negotiations with the DER, the Company
     believes that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material
     effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company or its results
     of operations, after consideration of the charges incurred or accrued to
     date.

     In January 1994, two class action lawsuits were filed on behalf of the
     shareholders of Rally's Hamburgers, Inc. in the United States District
     Court, Western District of Kentucky, against Rally's, its controlling
     shareholders, the Company and Burt Sugarman, Chairman of the Company and
     former Chairman of Rally's, and certain of Rally's officers and directors.
     The Complaints allege violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
     with respect to Rally's common stock and seek unspecified damages.
     Management is unable to predict the outcome of this matter at the present
     time or whether or not certain available insurance coverages will apply.
     Rally's and the Company are defending themselves vigorously in this matter.

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

GENERAL
The Company's cement operations are directly related to the construction
industry.  The regional markets in which the Company operates, the Middle-
Atlantic and South-Atlantic regions, are highly cyclical, experiencing peaks and
valleys in demand corresponding to regional and national construction cycles.
Additionally, the demand for cement is seasonal because construction activity
diminishes during the winter months of December, January and February.  The
seasonal impact can be particularly acute in the Company's Middle-Atlantic
market.  In addition, the Company performs a substantial portion of its routine
annual major maintenance projects during the period of low plant utilization,
typically the first quarter of its fiscal year, which results in significant
additional expense during this period.  The Company believes that the routine
annual maintenance performed in the first quarter results in lower maintenance
costs throughout the remainder of the year, however, the Company expenses these
costs as incurred.  Accordingly, the Company has historically experienced its
lowest levels of revenue and gross profit during the first quarter and thus the
results for the interim period ended June 30, 1994 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The Company derives revenues from the sales of products, primarily cement and
construction aggregates, as well as from the provision of resource recovery
services.  Resource recovery services revenue is primarily derived from third
parties that pay the Company to utilize their waste as fuel, which additionally
reduces the cost of traditional fossil fuels used in the manufacture of cement.
Due to the nature of the Company's operations and the fact that the burning of
waste-derived fuels is inseparable from the manufacture of cement, it is
impractical to disaggregate the costs of sales and services by revenue
classification.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operating revenues increased 16.4% to $27,264,000 and 12.8% to $42,777,000 for
the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1994, respectively.  Revenues
from product sales increased $3,899,000 or 19.6% to $23,780,000 and $5,295,000
or 16.8% to $36,773,000 for the three and six-month periods respectively, as a
result of increased shipping volumes and net selling prices of cement.  Cement
shipping volumes increased 8.7% and 5.7% for the three and six-month periods
ended June 30, 1994, respectively, compared to the comparable periods in 1993.
Cement shipping volumes in the Company's South-Atlantic markets increased as a
result of particularly strong demand in the region, which has resulted in
shortages of supply.  The Company's shipping volumes in the Middle-Atlantic
markets declined in the first quarter of 1994 as a result of the unusually harsh
winter.  However, the Company's cement shipping volumes in its Middle-Atlantic
markets exceeded 1993 levels in the second quarter of 1994 and equalled 1993
levels for the six months ended June 30, 1994.

The Company's average selling price per ton of cement increased 12.1% for the
quarter and 13.4% for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994,  compared to the
comparable periods in 1993, as a result of price increases implemented in the
second and third quarters of 1993 and in the second quarter of 1994.  The
Company realized greater price increases in its South-Atlantic markets where
demand and the Company's ability to increase prices were particularly strong.
Price increases of $5 per ton and $3 per ton were implemented effective April 1,
1994 in the Company's South-Atlantic and Middle-Atlantic markets, respectively.
The Company has announced another $5 per ton price increase effective August 1,
1994 in its South-Atlantic market.  There can be no assurance, however, that
this price increase will be realized.

Resource recovery services revenues decreased $66,000 or 1.9% to $3,484,000 for
the quarter and $454,000 or 7.0% to $6,004,000 year to date primarily as a
result of lower quantities of waste fuels utilized at Giant in 1994 compared to
the record levels processed in the first half of 1993, offset somewhat by
slightly higher utilization and pricing of waste fuels at Keystone.  Pricing for
resource recovery services at Giant in 1994 was level with that of 1993.

Gross profit increased 46.3% to $7,416,000 for the quarter and 52.0% to
$8,403,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, as a result of higher
operating revenues.  The Company's gross margins increased from 21.6% and 14.6%
in 1993 to 27.2% and 19.6% in 1994 for the three and six-month periods,
respectively.  In 1994, cost of sales and services increased $1,487,000 or 8.1%
for the quarter and $1,967,000 or 6.1% year to date primarily as the result of
higher shipping volumes and higher repair and maintenance costs incurred during
the 1994 winter overhaul of the Company's plant and equipment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $477,000 to $2,802,000
for the quarter and increased $416,000 to $5,345,000 for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1994, but declined as a percentage of operating revenues year to
date, from 13.0% in 1993 to 12.5% in 1994, as a result of the increase in
operating revenues.  The expense increase primarily related to increased
employee benefit costs and increased bad debt expense.

Interest costs decreased $30,000 for the quarter to $1,417,000 and increased
$21,000 to $2,845,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994.  Margin
borrowings of $14,594,000 were repaid in the second quarter of 1994, however the
resulting interest savings were partially offset by higher average borrowings
and interest rates on the Company's term loan and revolving credit facilities.
Investment income for the quarter and year to date decreased $184,000 and
$289,000, respectively, as a result of lower average amounts of funds invested
compared to the comparable periods in 1993.

Declines in the fair market value of the Company's marketable securities in 1994
resulted in losses of $448,000 for the quarter and $1,062,000 year to date.  The
losses were the result of the general decline in the market value of fixed
income securities in 1994, which was due to an increase in prevailing interest
rates.

Equity in earnings of affiliate decreased from earnings of $850,000 and
$1,275,000 in 1993 to a loss of $490,000 and $1,340,000 in 1994 for the three
and six-month periods ended June 30, 1994, respectively, as a result of losses
incurred by the Company's 38% owned affiliate Rally's Hamburger's, Inc.
("Rally's").

The income tax provisions recorded for the three and six-month periods ended
June 30, 1994 and 1993, relate to federal and state income taxes and have been
recorded at an estimated annual effective rate of 34%.

Net income for the second quarter of 1994 was $1,445,000 as compared to
$1,719,000 for the second quarter of 1993.  For the six-month period ended June
30, 1994, net loss was $1,184,000 compared to net income of $160,000  for the
comparable period in 1993.  The decreases in net income for the quarter and six
months were a result of the aforementioned marketable securities losses in 1994
and the Company's share of Rally's losses in 1994 compared to its share of
income in 1993.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's liquidity requirements arise primarily from the funding of capital
expenditures, debt service obligations and working capital needs.  The Company
has historically met these needs through internal generation of cash and
borrowings on revolving credit facilities.  The Company's borrowings have
historically increased during the first half of the year because of the
seasonality of its business and the annual plant maintenance performed in the
first quarter.

Cash and cash equivalents totalled $1,734,000 at June 30, 1994 compared to
$4,123,000 at December 31, 1993.  At June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993 the
Company had working capital of $2,643,000 and $14,052,000, with current ratios
of 1.1 and 1.4, respectively.  The decrease in working capital was primarily due
to the current maturity classification of the $8,950,000 14.5% Subordinated
Notes, due April 15, 1995.  Accounts receivable increased $3,594,000 or 31.6% to
$14,969,000 at June 30, 1994 as a result of higher cement revenues in June 1994
compared to December 1993.  Inventories decreased $233,000 or 1.7% to
$13,181,000 at June 30, 1994.  Marketable securities declined $16,932,000 to
$13,000 at June 30, 1994 as a result of the Company's sale of all of its
marketable debt securities during the first six months of 1994.  The proceeds
from the sales of marketable securities were used primarily to repay margin
loans to  brokerage firms.  Total current liabilities decreased $3,991,000 or
12.0% to $29,162,000 at June 30, 1994, primarily as a result of the repayment of
$11,573,000 of short-term borrowings from stockbrokers and banks, offset by the
reclassification to current of the 14.5% Subordinated Notes.

Cash provided by operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994 was
$275,000 compared to $1,983,000 for the comparable 1993 period.  The decrease in
cash provided by operations was primarily the result of income tax payments of
$220,000 in 1994, compared to a refund of $1,503,000 received in 1993, and the
reduction of accounts payable and accrued expenses in 1994.  Net cash provided
(used) by investing activities increased from $228,000 used in 1993 to
$9,797,000 provided in 1994 as a result of increased sales of marketable
securities in 1994 versus 1993, offset by increased capital additions in 1994.
Net cash used by financing activities increased from $445,000 in 1993 to
$12,461,000 in 1994 as a result of short-term borrowings repaid during 1994.
At June 30, 1994 cash equivalents of $1,462,000, in addition to a substantial
portion of the Company's Rally's common stock, were pledged as collateral for
loans totalling $10,594,000.

At June 30, 1994 the quoted market value of the Company's investment in Rally's
common stock was $27,117,000 and declined to $18,489,000 at July 29, 1994.  The
Company believes that the decline in the market value of its investment in
Rally's is temporary.  Accordingly, the Company has not adjusted the carrying
value of its investment in Rally's to reflect a  decline in value.


On April 28, 1994, the Company's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Giant Cement
Holding, Inc. filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for an initial public offering of 10,000,000 shares of Giant Cement
Holding Common Stock.  Giant Cement Holding was  formed to hold the cement
facilities and resource recovery operations of the Company and to engage in the
public offering.  Of the shares to be offered, 9,500,000 shares, comprising all
of the presently outstanding shares of Giant Cement Holding, will be sold by KCC
Delaware Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and 500,000 shares
will be sold by Giant Cement Holding.  After the offering, GIANT GROUP would
have no further interest in the cement business.  Should the initial public
offering be consummated, the Company intends to utilize a portion of the net
proceeds to prepay its $8,950,000 14.5% Subordinated Notes, due April 15, 1995
and its $34,350,000 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures, due April 15, 2006.

The Company intends to refinance the $8,950,000 14.5% Subordinated Notes due
April 15, 1995, should they not be repaid as a result of the offering of Giant
Cement Holding stock.  Exclusive of the refinancing, the Company believes that
its existing credit facilities, together with internally generated funds will be
sufficient to meet its working capital needs for the foreseeable future.
