Due to the Company's efforts relating to the acquisition of East Tennessee Materials and Energy Corporation, additional time is needed to complete development of appropriate disclosures for inclusion in the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" and "Management's 
Discussion and Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources" sections of its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2001.

PART IV -- OTHER INFORMATION
____________________________________________________________
(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact
    in regard to this notification:

    Richard T. Kelecy           352          395-1351
    ______________________   __________   _________________
                      (Name)             (Area Code)  (Telephone Number)

(2) Have all other periodic reports under Section 13 or 15(d)
    of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the
         Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding twelve
         months or for such shorter period that the registrant was
         required to file such report(s) been filed?
         If the answer is no, identify report(s).             [X]YES [ ]NO

 

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in 
    results of operations from the corresponding period
        for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
        earnings statements to be included in the subject
        report, or portion thereof?                         [X]YES [ ]NO

   If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
   narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state 
   the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot 
   be made.

It is anticipated that the Registrant's net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, will be approximately $714,000 and after giving effect to the payment by the Registrant of approximately $32,000 in preferred stock dividends in such quarter, a net loss of approximately $746,000 (or approximately $.03 per diluted share of Common Stock). In comparison, for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Registrant recorded net income of $312,000 and after giving effect to the recording by the Registrant of approximately $50,000 in preferred stock dividends in such quarter, net income of approximately $262,000 (or approximately $.01 per share of Common Stock).

The Registrant believes the changed results may be attributed, among other things, to increased interest expense and financing fees related to new debt and the acquisition of East Tennessee Materials and Energy Corporation.
