NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2000
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company, the results of its
operations and changes in cash flows for the interim
periods reported. These adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. All financial statements presented
herein are unaudited. However, the balance sheet as of
December 31, 1999, was derived from the audited
consolidated balance sheet. These statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1999. The results of
operations for the interim periods shown in this report
are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the fiscal year.
Note 2 - Reclassifications
Certain amounts in 1999 have been reclassified to
conform to the 2000 presentation.
Note 3 - Income Taxes
The income tax provisions consisted of the following:
<TABLE>

Total $1,547 $34,530
</TABLE>
The effective income tax rate was 0.5% and 8% for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, primarily due to the application of a net
operating loss carryforward. At March 31, 2000, the
Company had tax net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $5,100,000 available to offset future
regular taxable income, which, if unused, will expire
from 2001 through 2020.
The Company decreased the valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets by $144,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and decreased the valuation
allowance by $186,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1999.
Note 4 - Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share of
Common Stock
Basic earnings per common share, after deducting
dividend requirements on the Company's Series A 7%
Voting Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series
A Stock") of $5,939 in each of the three month periods
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, were based on the
weighted average number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding, excluding 17,358 shares of Treasury Stock
for each of the periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.
Common shares issuable on conversion of Series A Stock
are not considered in the diluted earnings per share
calculation because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Note 5 - Business Segment Information
The Company is primarily involved in two business
segments, mining and electrical construction.
There were no material amounts of sales or
transfers between segments and no material
amounts of export sales.
The following table sets forth certain segment information
for the periods indicated. Any intersegment sales have
been eliminated.

</TABLE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31,
2000 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1999.
Net Income
The Company had net income of $296,055 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, compared to net income
of $395,116 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
The decline was primarily attributable to lower electrical
construction revenue as discussed below.
Revenues
Total revenues for the three months ended March 31,
2000 were $5,059,662, compared to $6,026,500 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999.
Electrical construction revenue decreased by 25% in the
three months ended March 31, 2000 to $4,195,421 from
$5,578,184 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
This decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction
in subcontract and materials expense and a reduced
level of work. The reduction in subcontract and
materials expense directly effects revenue as these
costs are billed to the customer as part of their
contract. The level of work has been reduced due to
the slow start-up of two major jobs.
Revenue from mining operations increased by 90% to
$723,901 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from
$381,075 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
This increase was primarily attributable to a single
construction aggregate project which was completed
during the second quarter of 2000.
Operating Results
Electrical construction operations had an operating
profit of $489,537 in the three months ended March 31,
2000, compared to an operating profit of $816,042
during the three months ended March 31, 1999. The
decrease in operating results in 2000 was primarily due
to the reasons noted above. The varying magnitude
and duration of electrical construction projects may
result in substantial fluctuation in the Company's
backlog from time to time. At March 31, 2000, the
approximate value of uncompleted contracts was
$15,000,000, compared to $5,800,000 at March 31, 1999.
During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the
operating profit from mining operations increased to
$102,176 from an operating loss of $69,126 during the
three months ended March 31, 1999. This increase
was primarily due to the single construction aggregate
project referred to above. The operating results
from mining included depreciation expense of
$64,164 during the three months ended March 31, 2000,
compared to $73,661 during the three months ended March
31, 1999.
St. Cloud Mining Company, a wholly owed subsidiary of
the Company ("St. Cloud"), sold 4,201 tons of natural
zeolite during the three months ended March 31, 2000,
compared to 4,024 tons during the three months ended
March 31, 1999.
Other Income
Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2000
was $140,340, compared to $67,241 in the three months
ended March 31, 1999. The increase in other income for
2000 was primarily a result of increased interest
income.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses, and the components thereof,
decreased to $4,762,060 for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 from $5,596,854 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999, primarily as a result of decreased
electrical construction costs.
Electrical construction costs were $3,503,451 and
$4,599,212 in the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively. The decrease in costs for 2000 was
attributable to a lower level of activity.
Mining costs were $557,561 for the three months ended
March 31, 2000, compared to $376,540 in the three
months ended March 31, 1999.
Depreciation and amortization was $284,597 in the three
months ended March 31, 2000, compared to $254,591 in
the three months ended March 31, 1999.
General corporate expenses of the Company increased to
$434,451 in the three months ended March 31, 2000, from
$384,511 in the three months ended March 31, 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2000 were
$2,912,204 as compared to $5,719,163 as of December 31,
1999. The decrease in cash was primarily the result of
both capital expenditures in the electrical construction
segment and an increase in costs and estimated earnings in
excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. Working
capital at March 31, 2000 was $6,726,946, compared
to $6,419,585 at March 31, 1999. The Company's ratio
of current assets to current liabilities increased
to 6.0 to 1 at March 31, 2000, from 5.7 to 1 at
December 31, 1999.
The Company does not enter into financial instruments
for trading purposes. Financial instruments entered
into for other than trading purposes consist
principally of cash and cash equivalents with limited
market risk sensitivity.
The Company paid cash dividends on its Series A
Preferred Stock in the amount of $5,939 in each of the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. The
Company has paid no cash dividends on its Common Stock
since 1933, and it is not expected that the Company
will pay any cash dividends on its Common Stock in the
immediate future.
Pursuant to an unsecured line of credit agreement
between the Company's subsidiary, Southeast Power
Corporation, and SunTrust Bank of Central Florida, N.A.
(guaranteed by the Company), Southeast Power may borrow
up to $1,000,000 at the bank's prime rate of interest.
This credit line expires June 30, 2000, at which time
the Company expects to renew it for an additional year.
No borrowings were outstanding under this line of
credit during the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
1999. However, since 1996, $100,000 of this line of
credit has been reserved for a standby letter of
credit.
The Company's capital expenditures for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 increased to $1,443,280 from
$457,475 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. This
increase in the level of capital expenditures was primarily
to accommodate the increased level of operations in the
Company's electrical construction segment.
Year 2000 Compliance
In the past, many computers, software programs, and other
information technology ("IT systems"), as well as other
equipment relying on microprocessors or similar circuitry
("non-IT systems"), were written or designed using two digits,
rather than four, to define the applicable year. As a result,
if not addressed, these systems may not have been able to properly
interpret dates beyond the Year 1999, which may have led to
business disruptions. Accordingly, the Company identified
and performed all needed material modifications and testing
of sigificant systems, and communicated with customers,
suppliers, banks and others with whom it does significant
business to determine their Year 2000 readiness and the extent
to which the Company was vulnerable to any other organization's
Year 2000 issues.
The Company considers the transition into the Year 2000
successful from the perspective of its systems. In
addition to the changeover to January 1, 2000, it has
been shown that certain other dates may also present
similar problems for some systems. The Company
continues to monitor the situation. To date, the
Company has not experienced any material Year 2000
issues with respect to its systems, customers or
suppliers.
The Company estimates that the total cost to the
Company of Year 2000 activities has been less than
$10,000.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Statement 133 - Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities. Statement 133 establishes methods of
accounting for derivative financial instruments and hedging
activities related to those instruments as well as other
hedging activities. As the Company does not hold derivative
instruments or engage in hedging activities, we do not
anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We will be required to implement Statement 133 in the first
quarter of our year ending December 31, 2001.
SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Number 101 - Revenue Recognition
in Financial Statements. As we have historically made a
practice of recognizing revenue in accordance with the
provisions of this bulletin, we do not anticipate that the
adoption of the bulletin will have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
