NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2001, AND APRIL 30, 2001
(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 Companys Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended April 30, 2001. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
NOTE 2. RECEIVABLES
All net contract and trade receivables are expected to be collected within one year.
NOTE 3. 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 liabilities of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at July 31, 2001, and April 30, 2001. The amounts in both periods include a $2.76 million deferred gain, a current liability, related to the amount awarded to the Company in connection with the Georgia World Congress Center Authoritys condemnation of the Companys former manufacturing facility. The award is currently under appeal by both parties.
NOTE 4. OPERATING SEGMENTS
In May 2001, the Company formed a third operating segment, Energy Management, and subsequently acquired substantially all of the assets of Servidyne Systems, Inc., an energy management and engineering services company. Through this new segment, the Company offers its institutional customers energy efficiency products and engineering services that reduce energy consumption, labor, equipment maintenance, and capital costs in commercial buildings.
The table below exhibits selected financial data on a segment basis. Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes is total revenue less operating expenses of continuing operations, including depreciation and interest. Parent expenses have not been allocated to the subsidiaries.

NOTE 5. PROPERTY HELD FOR SALE
In August 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to sell, at a gain, its shopping center in Englewood, Florida. The Company currently anticipates completing the sale during this fiscal year. As of July 31, 2001, the book basis of the property, $12.5 million, has been reclassified as a current asset in Property held for sale; the related mortgage debt, $12.3 million, has been reclassified as a current liability in Current maturities of long-term debt. The results of operations for the property are summarized below:

NOTE 7. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average shares outstanding during the reporting period. In May 2001, the Company issued 150,616 stock options with an exercise price of $4.00 per share. The options issued were not dilutive.
NOTE 8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
During June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141). Under the provisions of SFAS 141, all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, must be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The adoption of SFAS 141 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.
Also during June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). Under the provisions of SFAS 142, there will be no amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives. Instead, these assets must be tested for impairment annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company has elected to adopt SFAS 142 as of May 1, 2001, and therefore goodwill and a trademark with an indefinite useful life acquired in the transaction described below have not been amortized.
NOTE 9. ACQUISITION
In May 2001, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and employed all of the personnel of an energy management and engineering services company, Servidyne Systems, Inc., and acquired certain intellectual property from an affiliated company, Servidyne, Incorporated, for approximately $3.1 million, including the costs associated with completing the acquisition, in an all cash transaction (the Servidyne transaction). This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their estimated fair market values as of the date of acquisition. The results of operations related to the acquired assets have been included in the Companys financial statements since May 2001. Servidyne has offered its expertise, products and services to its institutional customers for more than 27 years. In pursuit of growth and improved shareholder returns, the Company will seek opportunities to leverage Servidynes reservoir of knowledge in order to assist the now combined customer base in making building infrastructures more efficient.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

Of the $1,200,034 of acquired intangible assets, $315,261 was assigned to a registered trademark that is not subject to amortization. The remainder of the intangible assets consists of computer-based work management products (5-year weighted-average useful life) in the amount of $856,113, and other intangible assets of $28,660 (10-year useful life). The weighted-average useful life of all acquired intangible assets subject to amortization is 5 years.
The goodwill amount has been assigned to the Energy Management Segment. All of the goodwill is expected to be amortized and deductible for tax purposes.
The following table displays the consolidated unaudited current results for the three months ended July 31, 2001, and the consolidated unaudited proforma results for the three months ended July 31, 2000, as if the acquisition had been completed on May 1, 2000:

As the acquisition which resulted in the recording of goodwill occurred during the current quarter ended July 31, 2001, no goodwill or resulting amortization was recorded in the previous quarter ended July 31, 2000, and therefore no proforma amounts are required to provide comparability.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Changes in CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS between April 30, 2001, and July 31, 2001.

Current maturities of long-term debt increased by $12,164,992 and Mortgage notes payable decreased by $12,383,658, primarily due to the reclassification of the mortgage debt related to the shopping center in Englewood, Florida, in connection with its planned sale, as discussed above.

NOTES TO CHART A
(1) | REVENUES for the first quarter 2002 were lower than those of the first quarter 2001, primarily due to a reduction in the number of construction jobs available, the result of a decrease or elimination of the capital spending by most of the Construction Segments existing customers. The Company anticipates this trend will continue in the short-term; however, since July 31, 2001, several new institutional customers have awarded jobs to the Company, as it works to increase and diversify its customer base. | |
(2) | The Energy Management Segment was formed in May 2001. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. | |

NOTES TO CHART B
(1) | The increase in the percentage of COSTS AND EXPENSES: Applicable to REVENUES for first quarter 2002 compared to first quarter 2001 was primarily attributable to downward competitive pressure on margins, which is a result of the decrease in the number of potentially available construction jobs due to the decline or absence of capital spending by the Companys customers. | |
(2) | The Energy Management Segment was formed in May 2001. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. |
