NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 2001, AND APRIL 30, 2000
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. UNAUDITED STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended April 30, 2000. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
NOTE 2. RECEIVABLES
All contract and trade receivables are expected to be collected within one year.
NOTE 3. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
During the quarter ended January 31, 2001, Montgomery Ward & Co., Incorporated, a customer of the Company’s Construction Segment, filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. At the time of the filing, the Construction Segment was due approximately $918,000 from Montgomery Ward for services previously completed. To date, the Company has been unable to obtain any information that would provide reason for it to expect it will collect any portion of the receivable; therefore, the Company has reserved 100% of the amount due.
NOTE 4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During the quarter ended January 31, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company decided to discontinue the operations of the Manufacturing Segment. The remaining assets and liabilities of the Manufacturing Segment have been consolidated and presented as Net assets of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at January 31, 2001, and April 30, 2000. For the quarter and first nine months ended January 31, 2001, Earnings from discontinued operations, net of income tax expense, were $75,326 and $205,563, respectively. For the same periods last year, loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax benefit, was $2,826,222 and $2,562,792, respectively.
NOTE 5. REAL ESTATE HELD FOR FUTURE SALE OR DEVELOPMENT
The Company’s Real Estate Segment is currently marketing for sale together its two shopping centers located in North Fort Myers, Florida, and Englewood, Florida. As of January 31, 2001, the net book value of these two properties, including outlots and anchor pads, was $35,002,322. The results of operations for the two properties for the quarter and nine months ended January 31, 2001, and 2000, are summarized below:

NOTE 6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (“SFAS 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, in June 1998. SFAS 133, as amended, is effective for fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Accordingly, the Company is required to implement SFAS 133, as amended, on May 1, 2001. Management anticipates that the adoption of SFAS 133 will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
NOTE 7. OPERATING SEGMENTS
The table below exhibits selected financial data on a segment basis. Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes is equal to total revenue less operating expenses of continuing operations, including depreciation and interest.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Changes in CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS between April 30, 2000, and January 31, 2001.
Accounts receivable decreased by $4,142,763; Costs and earnings in excess of billings decreased by $573,549; Billings in excess of costs and earnings increased by $709,168; and Trade and subcontractors payable decreased by $2,941,661, primarily because of the timing of the submission and payment of invoices for construction work performed.
Real estate held for future sale or development increased by $31,938,928, and Income producing properties decreased by $32,970,935, primarily as a result of the reclassification of the net book value of two of the Company’s shopping centers. The Company’s Real Estate Segment is actively marketing its approximately 294,000 square foot shopping center in North Fort Myers, Florida, and its approximately 214,000 square foot shopping center in Englewood, Florida.
Accrued expenses decreased by $2,654,074, primarily due to the payment of year-end accruals and estimated income taxes.
Results of operations of third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2001 compared to third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2000.

NOTES TO CHART A
| (1) | REVENUES for the third quarter of fiscal 2001 were lower than those of the third quarter of fiscal 2000, primarily due to a decrease in the number of currently active customers and a decrease in business from certain existing customers. The volatility with respect to the levels of capital spending of the Company’s customers and the competitive bidding process the Company must go through on most projects before they are awarded inhibits the Company’s ability to project future revenue trends. | |
| (2) | REVENUES for the first nine months of fiscal 2001 were lower than those of the first nine months of fiscal 2000, primarily due to a real estate sale in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, which generated approximately $6.7 million in revenues. There were no real estate sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2001. The Company reviews its real estate portfolio on an ongoing basis and places a property on the market for sale when it believes it is in its best interests to do so. In addition, a property may be marketed in one fiscal year, but the sale may not close until a subsequent year, due to individually negotiated contract terms. Real estate sales, which may have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, do not occur every year, and the Company cannot predict the timing of any such sales. |
The following table indicates the backlog of construction contracts and expected real estate rentals for the next twelve months by industry segment.

NOTES TO CHART B
| (1) | The decrease in the percentage of COSTS AND EXPENSES: Applicable to REVENUES for the first nine months of fiscal 2001 compared to the same period for fiscal 2000 is attributable to: (1) an increase in the size and complexity of work performed, which provided higher margins but involved more risk; (2) improved efficiencies in project management; (3) no significant losses on jobs due to scheduling adjustments; and (4) a refinement in the mix of the Company’s customer base. The Company has exposure to increased costs for many reasons beyond its immediate control, including, but not limited to, market competition, unexpected costs, delays due to weather, or an individual customer’s scheduling adjustments. Therefore, the Company cannot predict whether the percentages reflected above will continue at the current level. | |
| (2) | The decrease in the dollar amount of COSTS AND EXPENSES: Applicable to REVENUES for first nine months of fiscal 2001 compared to first nine months of fiscal 2000 is primarily attributable to the cost of the real estate sold in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. |
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
from Continuing Operations
For the third quarter 2001 and 2000, Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations, net of intersegment eliminations, were $2,927,072 and $2,169,374, respectively. As a percentage of Consolidated REVENUES from Continuing Operations, these expenses were 11% and 7%, respectively. For the first nine months of fiscal 2001 and 2000, Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations, net of intersegment eliminations, were $7,534,649 and $6,467,770, respectively. As a percentage of Consolidated REVENUES from Continuing Operations, these expenses were 6% and 5%, respectively. In reviewing Chart C, the reader should recognize that the volume of revenues generally will affect the amounts and percentages. The percentages in Chart C are based upon expenses as they relate to Segment REVENUES from Continuing Operations (Chart A), except that Parent and Total expenses relate to Consolidated REVENUES from Continuing Operations.

NOTES TO CHART C
| (1) | On a dollar and percentage basis, Selling, general and administrative expenses were higher for the third quarter of 2001 compared to the third quarter of 2000, primarily due to the allowance for doubtful accounts reserve for the Montgomery Ward receivable as discussed above (see NOTE 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). On a dollar and percentage basis, Selling, general and administrative expenses were higher for the first nine months of 2001, compared to the same period of 2000, primarily due to the Montgomery Ward reserve and an increase in incentive compensation directly related to higher segment profits. | |
| (2) | On a dollar and percentage basis, Selling, general and administrative expenses were lower for the third quarter and first nine months of 2001 compared to the same periods of 2000, primarily because of a decrease in personnel and incentive compensation costs. |
