                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (unaudited)



1. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information furnished
   herein reflects all adjustments, including those of a normal recurring
   nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial
   position and consolidated results of operations for the interim periods.
   There have been no changes in the significant accounting policies as
   discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
   contained in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. Reclassification: During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company adopted
   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per
   Share (EPS)", which establishes standards for computing and presenting EPS.
   This statement simplified the previous standard for computing EPS and makes
   it comparable to international EPS standards. This statement required
   restatement of all prior period EPS data presented.

3. Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed using the method
   prescribed by SFAS No. 128. Basic EPS was computed by dividing income
   available to common shares outstanding during the period by the weighted
   average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is similar
   to basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number
   of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive
   additional common shares had been issued.

4. Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
   Comprehensive Income". This statement establishes standards for reporting and
   display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general
   purpose financial statements. This statement had no impact on reporting by
   the Company. At the same time, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures
   about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". This statement
   establishes standards for the way that public enterprises report information
   about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that
   those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in
   interim financial reports issued to shareholders. Operating segments are
   components of an enterprise that are evaluated regularly by the chief
   operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in
   assessing performance. This statement does not change the business segment
   information previously or currently reported by the Company.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
-------------

Results of Operations
---------------------

The Company reported net income of $16.0 million, or $0.67 per share, for the
third quarter of 1998, 72% more than the prior year's third quarter of $9.3
million, or $0.39 per share.  Net income was $19.7 million, or $0.82 per share,
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, compared with net income of $14.1
million, or $0.60 per share, for the comparable period in 1997.  Construction
Materials Division earnings were higher than in 1997, due to increases in
earnings from aggregates, asphalt and ready mixed concrete operations.

Business segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1998 and 1997 is as follows:

Revenues in the Construction Materials Division were $149.3 million in the third
quarter of 1998, up $22.4 million, or 18% compared with the corresponding 1997
period.  Revenues were $362.9 million in the first nine months of 1998, an
increase of $41.6 million, or 13% compared with the same period in 1997.  The
revenue increase for the current quarter and nine-month period was due to higher
unit sales volumes and higher average selling prices for aggregates, asphalt and
ready mixed concrete operations.

The Construction Materials Division's pre-tax income from operations for the
quarter increased to $23.9 million from $12.5 million in the year earlier
quarter.  The improved results reflect  higher earnings from aggregates, asphalt
and ready mixed concrete operations across all geographic regions.  Sales
volumes increased 15% for aggregates, 12% for asphalt and 11% for ready mixed
concrete.  Average selling prices increased 10% for aggregates, 3% for asphalt
and 7% for ready mixed concrete.  Unit production costs declined 3% for asphalt,
due to lower costs for liquid asphalt.  Partially offsetting the improvements
were 5% higher unit production costs for aggregates, due in part to higher
repair and maintenance costs, partly brought about by the Company's program to
increase plant efficiencies and productivity.  Ready mixed concrete unit
production costs were flat despite higher cement costs.

The Construction Materials Division's pre-tax income from operations for the
first nine months in 1998 increased to $35.6 from $22.3 million for the same
period in 1997.  The improved results reflect higher earnings from aggregates,
asphalt and ready mixed concrete operations.  Sales volumes increased 7% for
aggregates and asphalt, and 13% for ready mixed concrete. Average selling prices
increased 7% for aggregates, 2% for asphalt and 5% for ready mixed concrete.
Unit production costs declined 3% for asphalt, due to lower costs for liquid
asphalt.  Partially offsetting the improvements were 7% higher unit production
costs for aggregates, due in part to higher repair and maintenance costs, partly
brought about by the Company's program to increase plant efficiencies and
productivity.  Ready mixed concrete unit production costs were 2% higher, due to

Properties Division
-------------------

Revenues in the Properties Division, excluding gains on sales of real estate,
were $5.8 million in the third quarter of 1998, up $0.6 million, or 11% from
revenues of $5.2 million in the corresponding 1997 period.  Revenues were $16.2
million in the first nine months of 1998, up $0.9 million or 6% from revenues of
$15.3 million in the first nine months of 1997.  The increase in revenue for the
current quarter and nine-month period was primarily due to increased revenue
from landfill operations.

The Properties Division's pre-tax income from operations was $3.8 million for
the third quarter of 1998 compared with $4.8 million in the prior year's third
quarter.  The current quarter includes $1.4 million of gains from real estate
sales, compared with gains of $2.6 million in the prior year's quarter.

The Properties Division's pre-tax income from operations was $8.6 million in the
first nine months of 1998 compared with $11.2 million in the prior period.
Gains from real estate sales of $2.1 million are included in 1998 versus gains
of $4.2 million in 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents were zero at September 30, 1998 compared with $2.5
million at December 31, 1997.  Cash provided by operating activities was $28.5
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.  Cash used for investing
activities was $41.9 million, including $43.6 million for the purchase of
property, plant, and equipment and $21.5 million for business acquisitions,
partially offset by proceeds from sale of a business of $14.4 million and
proceeds from the sales of real estate of $4.9 million.  Cash provided by
financing activities was $8.8 million, including  $12.0 million net increase in
debt, $4.1 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options, partially
offset by cash dividends of $7.1 million.

Working capital totaled $48.4 million at September 30, 1998, a $0.7 million
increase from $47.7 million at December 31, 1997.  The current ratios were 1.5
and 1.6 at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively.

Total consolidated long-term and short-term borrowings at September 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997 were $130.4 million and $118.7 million, respectively.  Debt as
a percent of total capitalization was 26.4% and 25.5%, at September 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, respectively.

Other Information

Year 2000 Compliance
--------------------

The Company has conducted a review of its computer systems and has identified
the systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue.  The Year 2000
issue, also known as the "Y2K" issue has occurred as the result of the use of
older computer systems and other equipment with embedded computer chips or
processors that use two digits rather than four to define the applicable year.
Any of the Company's programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a
date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could result
in a major system failure or miscalculation.  The Year 2000 issue may also
affect the systems and applications of the Company's vendors or customers.

The Company began researching its key business systems early in 1997 to
determine which systems were not Y2K compliant and what actions would be
required to make them compliant.  An information technology (IT) Year 2000

Year 2000 Compliance - continued
--------------------------------

project manager was appointed at that time and work was begun to correct
identified deficiencies.

In April 1998, a Year 2000 task force was formed to identify and correct non-IT
Y2K issues at all of the Company's operating locations and the corporate
headquarters.  The task force is comprised of key personnel from various
functional areas of the Company.  In addition to identifying every piece of
equipment at every location that could have a potential Y2K problem, the task
force also identified key service providers, vendors, suppliers, customers and
government entities that are believed to be critical to the Company's
operations.  Questionnaires were sent to these entities to determine their state
of Year 2000 readiness.  Alternative providers will be selected to replace those
entities that do not appear to be taking appropriate corrective actions.  The
Company's Year 2000 task force meets every month, and regularly reports its
progress to executive management and the Board of Directors.

All of the Company's key business systems are, or will be, Y2K compliant, by
December 31, 1998.  Other subsystems and systems interfaces will be modified and
tested for compliance by June 30, 1999.  The hardware and software for all
application servers and personal computers will be tested and upgraded or
replaced if necessary, by June 30, 1999. An inventory has been conducted of all
non-IT equipment located throughout the Company that may have Year 2000 issues,
and vendors are currently being contacted to determine Year 2000 compliance.
Testing procedures are also being solicited and/or developed.  All equipment
will be tested, and non-compliant units will be upgraded or replaced by June 30,
1999.  Two large business systems that were not Y2K compliant were replaced at a
cost of $1.5 million and it is anticipated that a number of personal computers
and miscellaneous plant equipment will also need to be upgraded or replaced, but
the cost is not material.  Some outside programming consultants are also
assisting in the modifications to in-house developed subsystems and interfaces,
but these costs are also not material.

The failure to correct Year 2000 problems could result in an interruption or
failure of certain business activities or operations.  These failures could
materially and adversely affect the Company's financial results.  Because of the
far reaching impact of the Year 2000 issue and the uncertainty of the action
being taken by third-party suppliers and customers, the Company is unable to
determine at this time if any Year 2000 failures will have a material impact on
the Company's operations and financial results.  However, the Company believes
that the actions it is taking will greatly reduce the probability of significant
disruption of business operations.  Nevertheless, the Company is assessing the
need for formal contingency plans, based on the progress of Year 2000 efforts by
the Company and third parties.

The information concerning the Company's Year 2000 compliance effort includes
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such forward-looking statements involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual events
or costs to be materially different than indicated by such forward-looking
statements.  These factors include, among others, the availability of resources,
the ability of the Company to discover and correct the potential Year 2000
sensitive problems that could have a serious impact on specific facilities, and
the ability of suppliers and customers to bring their systems into Year 2000
compliance.  Any estimates and projections described have been developed by the
management of the Company and are based on the Company's best judgments together
with the information that is available to date.
