For the first quarter of fiscal 1999, ended December 31, 1998, consolidated
revenues increased 7.7% over the same period last year.  The Transportation
segment revenues for the first quarter increased 7.3% due primarily to an
increase in miles hauled. Real Estate revenues increased 10.4% for the
first quarter.   The real estate revenue increase was due to higher
royalties and rental income.  

Gross profit increased $419,000 or 10.5% as compared to last year.   Gross
profit in Transportation increased $373,000 for the first quarter. The
increase was primarily due to higher revenues and lower fuel costs. 
Increases in drivers wages and benefits continue to impact gross profit.

Gross profit in the Real Estate segment increased $46,000 for the first
quarter.   The improvement was primarily due to higher income producing
space under management.  Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 1999
was reduced by lower timber sales this quarter as compared to the same
quarter last year.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $578,000 for the
first quarter from the same period last year.   Selling, general and
administrative expense as a percent of sales was 11.6% for the first
quarter as compared to 8.6% last year.  The increase was primarily
attributable to severance compensation and staffing and consulting expenses
related to systems upgrades to bring the Company compliant with the Year
2000 issues.

Interest expense increased $10,000 for the first quarter, due primarily to
an increase in the average debt outstanding.   This increase was partially
offset by a decrease in average interest rate and a greater capitalization
of interest in fiscal 1999.

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.   The Company has analyzed its Year 2000 exposure and has
developed plans for addressing the Year 2000 exposure as well as
reengineering selective systems to enhance their functionality. 

The Company is in various stages of modifying or replacing both internally
developed and purchased software.   The Company has purchased new software
and hardware for its truck dispatching and maintenance system that is
represented to be Year 2000 compliant to replace its existing systems.  
The Company will begin to phase in this software in January 1999 and have
the total system installed in June 1999.

The Company purchases from an affiliate, Florida Rock Industries, Inc.
(FRI) certain administrative services including automated data processing
(Purchased Services).   FRI is in the process of updating its systems to be
Year 2000 compliant.   The Company has reviewed FRI's plan and is
monitoring the progress of this plan as it relates to the Purchased
Services.

The Company is in the process of identifying operating equipment which may
be effected by Year 2000.   Once the equipment has been identified, testing
will begin to determine if such equipment is Year 2000 compliant.

Vendors, suppliers and customers that are critical to the Company's
operations are in the process of being identified.   Questionnaires will be
sent to these entities to determine their state of readiness for Year 2000. 
The Company will identify alternative vendors and suppliers if any of the
current suppliers do not appear to be taking corrective actions and as a
contingency in case these entities are not Year 2000 compliant.

The costs associated with the purchase and installation of the truck
dispatching and maintenance software and hardware will be capitalized and
amortized over the estimated useful life of the software or equipment. 
Other costs associated such as selection, training and reengineering of the
existing processing are being expensed as incurred.   Based on current
information, the expected costs of the systems are not expected to be
material to the financial condition or results of operations of the
Company.

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 will be finalized during the second quarter of calendar
1999.  This plan will assess the risks and possible countermeasures.
However, despite efforts and initiatives undertaken by the Company, total
assurances 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.

Financial Condition

The Company continues to maintain its sound financial condition with
sufficient resources to meet anticipated capital expenditures and other
operating requirements.

Other

During fiscal 1998, the transportation segment's ten largest customers
accounted for approximately 33% of transportation's revenue.  The loss of
any one of these customers could have an adverse effect on the Company's
revenue and income.

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 Note 10 to the
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 1998 Annual
Report to stockholders.  Such information is incorporated herein by
reference. 
   
Forward-Looking Statements.  Certain matters discussed in this report
contain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
these indicated by such forward-looking statements.   These forward-looking
