     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     (Dollars in thousands)
                         (Unaudited)



1.   In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
     consolidated condensed financial statements contain all
     adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
     considered necessary to present fairly the financial position as
     of March 31, 1994, and December 31, 1993, and the results of
     operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March
     31, 1994, and March 31, 1993.


2.   The results of operations for the three months ended March
     31, 1994, and 1993, are not necessarily indicative of the results
     that may be expected for the full year.


3.   The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with
     respect to losses for third-party liability, property damage, and
     group health insurance coverage provided employees.  The Company
     is the defendant and plaintiff in various lawsuits resulting 
     from its operations.  In the opinion of management, adequate
     provision has been made in the financial statements for the
     estimated liability which may result from disposition of such
     lawsuits.


     The Company is subject to proceedings arising out of
     environmental laws and regulations, which primarily relate to the
     disposal and use of fuel and oil used in the transportation
     business.  It is the Company's policy to accrue and charge
     against earnings environmental cleanup costs when it is probable
     that a liability has been incurred and an amount can be
     reasonably estimated.

     The Company is currently a party to, or involved in, legal
     proceedings directed at the cleanup of two Superfund sites.  The
     Company has accrued its allocated share of the total estimated
     cleanup costs for these two sites.  Based upon management's
     evaluation of the other potentially responsible parties, the
     Company does not expect to incur additional amounts even though
     the Company has joint and several liability.  Other proceedings
     involving environmental matters such as alleged discharge of oil
     or waste material into water or soil are pending against the
     Company.

     It is not possible to quantify future environmental costs
     because many issues relate to actions by third parties or changes
     in environmental regulation.  However, based on information
     presently available, management believes that the ultimate
     disposition of currently known matters will not have a material
     effect on the financial position or liquidity of the Company in
     any one period. As of March 31, 1994, and December 31, 1993, the

             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE
     CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                    
                                                                  
                              OVERVIEW
                                    
                                    
FEC's operating revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1994, as
compared with same period 1993 reflect an increase of $14.4
million or 32.7%.  In the first quarter 1994, transportation
revenues remained at the same level as first quarter 1993 or
$40.2 million.  Realty revenues increased from $3.8 million in
the first quarter 1993 to $18.2 million in the first quarter
1994, but included in the 1994 realty revenues were sales of
realty property of $13.7 million.  Discounting the sales of
realty property, 1994 realty revenues increased by $.7 million or
18.4% over first quarter 1993 realty revenues.  Operating
expenses in the 1994 first quarter reflect an increase of
1.6% or $.6 million when compared to 1993's first quarter. 
Operating profits increased $13.8 million in the first quarter
1994 when compared to first quarter 1993.
                                    
                                    
                                                                  
                             ANALYSIS
                                    
                                    
Revenues - When comparing the first quarter 1994 transportation
revenues with the same period 1993, the 1994 transportation
revenues remained relatively flat.  However, comparable 1993
figures included some traffic attributable to rebuilding after
Hurricane Andrew.  This traffic steadily declined during the
final three quarters of 1993 and is no longer a factor in revenue 
comparisons.
                                    
Realty revenues for the comparative quarters reflected increased
first quarter 1994 revenues of $14.4 million of which $13.7
million represents the sales of realty properties.  Of the $13.7
million, $11.3 million represents a condemnation of realty
properties by the State of Florida.  Rental income from buildings
totaled $4.5 million in the first quarter 1994 versus $3.8
million in first quarter 1993. 
                                    
Operating Expenses - Operating expenses in the first quarter 1994
reflect an increase of 1.6% or $.6 million as compared to the
same period in 1993.  Operating expenses in first quarter 1994,
when compared to first quarter 1993, decreased by $1.2 million or
3.8% for transportation and increased by $1.1 million or 37.6%
for realty.  General and administrative operating expenses
increased by $.6 million or 14.8%.
                                    
Other Income - Interest income in first quarter 1994 reflects the
continuing low rates available on quality interest earning
securities.
                                    
Net Income - Of the $14.2 million net income, $6.7 million is
related to the sale of realty property to State of Florida.

                                    
                                    
                   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
                                    
                                    
FEC's principal sources of liquidity include cash generated by
operations; earnings on invested cash; and earnings on its
investment portfolio, consisting largely of U.S. Treasury
securities with maturities less than twelve months.
                                    
                                    
Current cash generations are used for capital expenditures in the
Transportation and Realty sectors and in payment of dividends. 
The investment portfolio is informally dedicated to major
real estate development.
                                    
                                    
Cash and short-term investments increased $6.5 million to $38.9
million at March 31, 1994, from $32.4 million at year-end 1993. 
The investment portfolio increased $.1 million to $66.3
million at March 31, 1994, from $66.2 million at year-end 1993. 
The Company's working capital position changed from a ratio of
2.17 to 1.00 at year-end 1993 to a ratio of 2.37 to 1.00 at
March 31, 1994.
                                    
                                    
There was no significant change in debt, reserves or other
liabilities during the three-month period and authorized capital
projects at March 31, 1994, remained relatively unchanged from
the approximately $33.4 million authorized and outstanding at
December 31, 1993, which is to be financed from operating cash.
