Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Note (3) Segment/Discontinued Operations Information

The Company has operated in two segments - energy and food. On
September 1, 1998, the Company sold its remaining food operations and, as
a result, the accompanying 1998 consolidated financial statements have
been reclassified to present the food operations as discontinued operations.
The Company now operates in only one segment, the energy segment, which
consists of the leasing of real properties and mineral interests in the
midwestern and southern United States to operating leasees. The Company has
no foreign revenues.

The loss from the Company's discontinued food business is comprised
of the following for the six and three months ended June 30, 1998:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

There was no significant change in the financial condition of the
Registrant during the first six months of 1999 from the end of the
last fiscal year, and it continues very strong. The liquidity of the
Registrant continues to be high.

Operating revenue was down in the first six months of 1999 from
the first six months of 1998, and  also down in the second quarter
of 1999 compared to the second quarter of 1998, due primarily
to reduced revenue from oil and gas  royalties. The reason for
reduced revenue from that source was lower oil prices than during
the corresponding periods of the prior year, and also somewhat
reduced production. In addition, there was slightly less revenue
from oil and other mineral lease rentals and  bonuses in the first
six months of 1999 than in the first six months of 1999, due to
fewer new leases with income recognizable during the current
period under comparison.

With respect to nonoperating income, revenue from investment
income was down in the first six months of 1999 from the
first six months of 1998, and also down in the second quarter
of 1999 from the second quarter of 1998. This was due primarily
to more capital gains realized on sales of equities during the first
six months of 1998 than during the corresponding period in
1999, and also slightly lower rates of return on temporary fixed
income investments during the current periods under comparison.
Additionally, in the category of nonoperating income, gain on
sales of real estate decreased simply because there were no sales
of surface land during the first six months of 1999.

General and administrative expenses were up significantly in the
first six months of 1999 over the first six months of 1998, and
also in the second quarter of 1999 over the second quarter of 1998.
This increase was attributable primarily to significant fees paid to
outside service providers during the first six months of
1999, particularly to financial advisors and appraisers of the
Registrant's real estate and mineral assets.

Income taxes were down significantly in the first six months
of 1999 from the first six months of 1998 as a result of decreased
earnings before income taxes.

The accompanying consolidated statements of earnings show a
loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, in the
first six months of 1998 and the second quarter of 1998, and
no gain or loss from that category in the corresponding periods
of 1999. Losses from that source resulted during prior periods
from the operation of Beekman's Deli Systems, Limited Liability
Company, a limited liability company in which the Registrant is a
majority member (hereinafter "Beekman's"). Beekman's operated
fast food and delicatessen facilities in four different locations
throughout the country, however, sales and profitability of this
operation were disappointing and all of the operations were
terminated by September 1, 1998, and Beekman's now has no
active operations. As described in more detail in note 3 to the
accompanying consolidated financial statements, as a result of
the operations of Beekman's during the first six months of 1998
and the second quarter of 1998, a loss was incurred, however,
since the operations were terminated later in the year 1998, there
were no activities in 1999 and thus no income or loss during that
later year.

There was a substantial increase in cash and cash equivalents in the
first six months of 1998, and a net decrease in the first six months
of 1999. The most significant components of the changes between
the periods were materially lower net earnings in the first six
months of 1999 than in the first six months of 1998, and decreased
deferred oil lease bonuses in the current period. Other items
contributing materially to the change in cash flows during the
periods under comparison include differences in federal and state
income tax liabilities, differences in the amount of proceeds from
matured/called investment debt securities which were reinvested,
and the timing of purchases and sales of equity securities during
the respective periods and the purchases of treasury stock during
the current period.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued


The Board of Directors, at the meeting held on April 21, 1999,
declared a cash dividend of $.50 per share which was paid
June 30, 1999 to Stockholders of record as of June 1, 1999.
A dividend of the same amount was paid on May 1, 1998.

On January 1, 1998 the Registrant adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income, which established
standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive
income and its components in a full set of financial
statements. The application of this statement is shown in
the consolidated statements of comprehensive income in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, was issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board in June, 1998. SFAS No. 133 standardizes the
accounting for derivative instruments. Under the statement, entities
are required to carry all derivative instruments in the statement
of financial position at fair value. The Registrant must adopt
SFAS No. 133 by January 1, 2001, however, early adoption is permitted.
On adoption, the provisions of SFAS No. 133 must be applied prospectively.
The Registrant anticipates that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will
not have a material impact on its financial position or results
of operations.

As the year 2000 approaches, issues have emerged regarding
how existing computer application software programs and
operating systems can accommodate this date because
certain computer programs being utilized use two digits
rather than four digits to define the applicable year. As
a result, it is possible that computer programs that have
date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00"
as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, which, in turn,
could result in system failure or miscalculation causing
disruption of the business of the Registrant or its suppliers
and customers. Management of the Registrant is confident
that its state of readiness with respect to this matter is high.
The Registrant utilizes only one stand-alone personal
computer in the administration of its business operations
and internal accounting, and it is not anticipated that any
significant modifications or upgrades will be necessary to
its existing computer hardware or software.  However, the
cost to address the Registrant's own year 2000 issues would
not be material, even if it would become necessary to replace
the entire hardware and software currently utilized, as this
could be done for less than $5,000. However, the Registrant
has relationships with third parties that utilize computer systems
that may not be year 2000 compliant, Thus, there is a possible
risk that to the extent such third parties' systems are not fully
year 2000 compliant, there could be potential systems
interruption causing disruptions in operations of such third
parties which, in turn, could effect normal business activities
of the Registrant. Given the nature of the Registrant's business
activities management does not anticipate that there will be any
such potential systems interruptions of operation or business prospects.
The foregoing may constitute "forward looking statements" about
matters that are inherently difficult to predict. These statements
include statements regarding the intent, belief, or current expectations
of the Registrant and its management. Some of the important factors
that effect these statements have been described above, but such
forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may
possibly affect future developments, such as the ability to deal with
year 2000 problems experienced by third parties with whom the
Registrant does business and over which it has no control. If
modifications and conversions required by third parties to make
their computer systems year 2000 compliant are not made or are
not completed on a timely basis, the resulting problems could have
a material impact on the operations of the Registrant even though
not presently anticipated. The Registrant has not, to date, implemented
a year 2000 contingency plan. As reported above, it is not anticipated
that compliance will create any systems interruptions or material costs
to the Registrant. If conditions develop as a result of failure of third
parties to be year 2000 compliant on a timely basis, the Registrant may
hereafter need to develop a contingency plan, such as changing third
parties with whom it does business, but that is not currently contemplated.

The Registrant has no specific commitment for material capital
expenditures at the present time. Management continues to actively
pursue other business opportunities which will result in a more
productive deployment of its assets and ultimately increase earnings.
Management continues to aggressively pursue development of increased
income from its oil and gas and coal properties, and continues to
attempt to lease more of its mineral properties in order to generate
additional rental, bonus, and royalty income.

<PAGE>

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK

The primary market risk exposures of the Registrant relate to
changes in interest rates, changes in equity security prices,
and changes in certain commodity prices.

The Registrant's exposure to market risk for changes in
interest rates relates solely to its fixed income investment portfolio
which consists of U. S. government agency securities. All such
securities are held-to-maturity and have original maturities of less
than one year. The Registrant does not use derivative financial
instruments to hedge interest rates on its fixed income investment
securities.

The Registrant's exposure to market risk for changes in equity
security prices relates solely to its marketable equity investment
portfolio which consists primarily of common stocks of domestic,
publicly held enterprises. The Registrant periodically enters into
equity option contracts on a limited basis primarily relating to
marketable equity securities held in its investment portfolio.
At June 30, 1999, the Registrant held forty-three option contracts
with a short position relating primarily to marketable equity
security held by it. The fair value of option contracts at
June 30, 1999 was approximately $6,900.

The Registrant's exposure to market risk for changes in commodity
prices relates to changes in the prices of coal, oil, and natural gas
and the effect thereof on its royalties and rentals relating to coal
deposits and mineral rights, as is discussed in more detail in
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations set forth in Part 1, Item 2, of this report. The
Registrant does not use derivative commodity instruments to hedge
its commodity risk exposures.

PART II, ITEM 1. - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Following the election of Directors at the annual meeting of
Stockholders held April 21, 1999, as discussed in more detail
in Part II, Item 4, of this Report 10-Q, a few Stockholders,
including former Director Beekman Winthrop, filed on
May 14, 1999, a lawsuit in Delaware challenging the results
of the election of Directors. The action styled
Winthrop, El al. v. Central Coal and Coke
Corporation, et al., C.A. No. 17162, was pending in the Court
of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County.
The Registrant and all newly elected Directors were named as defendants,
and the plaintiffs asked the Court to invalidate the
election of the new Board. On July 29, 1999, the record owners of
179,009 shares of the common stock of the Registrant
(a majority of the outstanding shares) executed written consents
which were delivered to the Registrant on July 29, 1999. Pursuant to
the consents, Phelps M. Wood, Phelps C. Wood, Bruce L. Franke,
Ray Infantino, Patrick J. Moran, and James R. Ukropina were
elected Directors of the Registrant, confirming the results of the
election held at the annual meeting on April 21, 1999. The action
taken by the written consents was done pursuant to Section 229 of
the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Subsequently, on August 5, 1999, the Court issued its Order of
Dismissal, dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice, but retaining
jurisdiction for purposes of entertaining any application for
attorneys' fees and/or costs.

<PAGE>

PART II, ITEM 4. - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A
VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

The following meeting of Stockholders was held during
the second quarter of 1999:

(a)    The annual meeting of Stockholders was held
       April 21, 1999.

(b)    The meeting involved the election of Directors and
       the following are the Directors elected at that meeting:


                        Ray Infantino
                        Patrick J. Moran
                        James Ukropina
                        Phelps C. Wood
                        Phelps M. Wood

       There were no other Directors whose term of office
       as a Director continued after the meeting. At a
       subsequent Board of Directors meeting, the
       Bylaws of the Registrant were amended to
       increase the number of Directors to seven.
       Bruce L. Franke and Beekman Winthrop were
       elected to fill the vacancies created by the
       increase in number of Directors. Mr. Franke
       accepted election as a Director and Mr. Winthrop
       subsequently declined to serve.

(c)    For the election of Directors, the votes received by all
       nominees were as follows:

                        Leonard Noah               155,792
                        Gary J. Pennington         155,792
                        Beekman Winthrop           155,793
                        Phelps M. Wood             327,063
                        Ernest N. Yarnevich, Jr.   155,792
                        Ray Infantino              171,270
                        Patrick J. Moran           171,270
                        James Ukropina             171,270
                        Phelps C. Wood             171,270

PART II, ITEM 4. - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A
VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS, Continued

       Thus, the five nominees receiving the highest
       number of votes and therefore elected were
       as follows:

                        Ray Infantino
                        Patrick J. Moran
                        James Ukropina
                        Phelps C. Wood
                        Phelps M. Wood

       Cumulative voting is not permitted.

       Mr. Winthrop and certain other Stockholders filed the
       lawsuit, described in Part II, Item 1 above, contesting
       this election of Directors. As described in Part II,
       Item 4, the record owners of 179,009 shares of common
       stock (a majority of the outstanding shares) executed
       written consents which were delivered to the Registrant
       on July 29, 1999, electing the same slate of Directors
       elected at the annual meeting on April 21, 1999, with
       the addition of Mr. Franke, thus confirming the results
       of that election. An Order of Dismissal was entered by
       the Delaware Court on August 5, 1999.
