     Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

     The June 23, 1987, reorganization discussed in response  to Item 3 was
effected  in  preparation  of  an  initial  public offering of the Issuer's
Common Stock.  Before the reorganization, the  Addington Brothers owned all
or  substantially  all  of the stock of the Issuer's  predecessors.   As  a
result of the reorganization  and  initial  public  offering, the Addington
Brothers initially controlled 66.7% of the Issuer's common stock.

     On or about  1, 1995, the Addington Brothers formulated  and presented
to the Issuer a proposal to spin-off (the "Spin-Off Proposal") the Issuer's
environmental and non-environmental businesses, which spin-off proposal was
withdrawn on July 11, 1995.

      The Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"),  dated
August  4,  1995,  among Robert Addington, Larry Addington, Bruce Addington
and HPB Associates,  L.P.  ("HPB")  is filed as Exhibit 17 to this Schedule
and incorporated herein by reference.   The sales of Common Stock by Robert
Addington, Larry Addington and Bruce Addington  to  HPB, as provided for in
the Stock Purchase Agreement, were consummated on August 4, 1995 and August
24, 1995.
     The  Stock  Purchase Agreement contains agreements  by  the  Addington
Brothers relating  to  the  composition  of  the  board of directors of the
Issuer  and  the  voting  of  shares of Common Stock in  all  elections  of
directors  during  the  term  of  the  Stock  Purchase  Agreement.   Robert
Addington intends to vote for the election  of  directors  of the Issuer in
accordance  with his obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement  during
the term of that agreement.

     In the Stock  Purchase  Agreement, each of the Addington Brothers also
agreed  not  to  dispose or transfer  shares  of  Common  Stock  except  as
permitted by Section 6.02(d) of the agreement.  Robert Addington may in the
future sell shares  of  Common  Stock,  subject to the restrictions imposed
under Section 6.02(d) of the Stock Purchase  Agreement  during  the term of
that agreement.

     The obligations of Robert Addington under the Stock Purchase Agreement
with  respect to the voting and disposition of shares of Common Stock  will
automatically terminate on August 31, 1997, if not sooner terminated to the
extent permitted by Section 7.01 thereof.

     The   Stock   Purchase   Agreement,  dated  September  22,  1995  (the
"Acquisition Agreement"), among  the  Issuer,  Addington  Holding  Company,
Inc.,   Addington   Acquisition  Company,  Inc.,  Larry  Addington,  Robert
Addington and Bruce Addington,  is filed as Exhibit 19 to this Schedule and
incorporated herein by reference.   The  transactions  contemplated  by the
Acquisition  Agreement were consummated on November 2, 1995.  On that date,
the Addington Brothers through companies owned by them acquired directly or
indirectly all  of  the outstanding shares of the following subsidiaries of
the Issuer:  Addington  Mining,  Inc.;  Mining  Technologies, Inc.; Addwest
Mining, Inc.; Addington Coal Holding, Inc.; Mining  Technologies  Australia
Pty.  Ltd.;  Tennessee  Mining, Inc.; Addcar Contracting Pty. Ltd.; Energy,
Inc.; and Addington Coal Sales, Inc.

     On November 2, 1995, Larry Addington and Bruce Addington exchanged, in
the aggregate, 1,000,000  shares  of  Common Stock owned by them for all of
the outstanding shares of Barton Creek  Farm Limited and Belize River Fruit
Co., which are owned by the Issuer, indirectly,  through  Addington Holding
Company,  Inc.,  pursuant  to  the  terms and conditions contained  in  the
Agreement  and  Plan  of Corporate Separation  (herein  so  called),  dated
September 22, 1995, among  the  Issuer,  Addington  Holding  Company, Inc.,
Larry Addington and Bruce Addington, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 20
to this Schedule and incorporated herein by reference.

     By virtue of the consummation of the transactions contemplated  by the
Acquisition  Agreement  and  the Agreement and Plan of Corporate Separation
are consummated, the Addington  Brothers, directly and through corporations
owned by them, acquired substantially all of the Issuer's non-environmental
operations (excluding gold and lime).

     Except as stated above, Robert  Addington  does  not  have any present

board of directors or management  of  the  Issuer,  including  any plans or

vacancies   on   the   board,  (v)  any  material  change  in  the  present
capitalization or dividend  policy  of  the Issuer, (vi) any other material
change in the Issuer's business or corporate  structure,  (vii)  changes in
the Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto  or other
actions  which  may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by  any
person, (viii) causing  a  class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted
from a national securities exchange  or cease to be authorized to be quoted
in an inter-dealer quotation system of  a  registered  national  securities
association,  (ix)  a  class  of  equity  securities of the Issuer becoming
eligible for termination of registration pursuant  to  Section  12(g)(4) of
the  Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or (x) any action similar to  any  of
those enumerated above.
