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 income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, will be approximately $1,556,000 and after giving effect to the recording by the Registrant of approximately $48,000 in preferred stock dividends in such quarter, a net income of approximately $1,508,000 (or approximately $.04 per diluted share of Common Stock). In comparison, for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, the Registrant recorded a net loss of $581,000 and after giving effect to the recording by the Registrant of approximately $32,000 in preferred stock dividends in such quarter, a net loss of approximately $613,000 (or approximately $.02 per share of Common Stock).

The Registrant believes the changed results may be attributed, among other things, to an increase in revenue in the Nuclear Waste Management Services segment of approximately $7,909,000 resulting from growth in mixed waste revenues, as these facilities continue to expand and demonstrate their processing capabilities, increase their related sales and marketing efforts and continue to receive greater volumes of waste.
