</TABLE>
The effective income tax rate was (84)% and 7% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, primarily due to decreasing
the valuation allowance and the application of a net operating loss
carryforward.  At September 30, 2000, the Company had tax net operating
loss carryforwards of approximately $4,500,000 available to offset future
regular taxable income, which, if unused, will expire from 2001 through
2018.  The Company decreased the valuation allowance for deferred tax
assets by $1,019,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

Note 4 -  Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

Basic earnings per common share, after deducting dividend requirements
on the Company's Series A 7% Voting Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock ("Series A Stock") of $17,819 in each of the nine month periods
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, were based on the weighted average
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, excluding 17,358 shares
of Treasury Stock for each of the periods ended September 30, 2000 and
1999.  Common shares issuable on conversion of Series A Stock are not
considered in the diluted earnings per share calculation because their
inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Note 5 - Business Segment Information

The Company is primarily involved in two business segments, mining and
electrical construction.  There were no material amounts of sales or
transfers between segments and no material amounts of export sales.

The following table sets forth certain segment information for the periods
indicated.  Any intersegment sales have been eliminated.

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

Financial Condition.

At September 30, 2000, the financial condition of the Company remains
comparable to its condition at December 31, 1999 and September 30, 1999.
However, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts as of September 30, 2000 amounted to $2,067,984, compared to
$139,051 as of December 31, 1999.  This increase was primarily due to the
nature of various construction projects and the timing of related billings.
Approximately half of the balance at September 30, 2000 was billed for and
collected during October 2000.  Also, property, buildings and equipment,
net increased to $6,388,954 as of September 30, 2000 compared to $4,626,695
as of December 31, 1999.  This increase was a result of increased capital
expenditures made primarily to accommodate the increased level of
operations in the Company's electrical construction subsidiary.  See also
Liquidity and Capital Resources.


Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared
to Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999.

Net Income
The Company had net income of $1,369,667 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, compared to net income of $1,425,953 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.

Revenues
Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were
$19,860,688, compared to $16,265,745 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999.  This increase was primarily attributable to higher
electrical construction revenue.

Electrical construction revenue increased by 21% in the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 to $17,428,000 from $14,461,978 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.  This increase was primarily attributable
to increases in transmission line and fiber optic cable construction.

Revenue from mining operations increased by 31% to $2,109,694 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 from $1,615,921 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999.  This increase was primarily attributable to an
increase in various construction projects.  These projects include land
reclamation and construction aggregate projects.

Operating Results
Electrical construction operations had an operating profit of $2,107,147
in the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to an operating
profit of $2,343,076 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Operating profit was lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
on increased revenue due primarily to increased subcontract costs. At
September 30, 2000, the approximate value of uncompleted contracts was
$7,350,000, compared to $2,600,000 at September 30, 1999.  The varying
magnitude and duration of electrical construction projects may
result in substantial fluctuation in the Company's backlog from time to time.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the operating profit
from mining operations decreased to $98,145 from an operating profit of
$103,458 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999.  The operating
results from mining operations in 2000 included the recovery of $41,027 of
previously recorded impairment losses related to a mine previously owned
by the Company, ("the San Pedro mine").  The 1999 operating results from
mining included the recovery of $234,587 of previously recorded impairment
losses related to a coal royalty the Company had retained in property it
formerly owned in Harlan, Kentucky and the San Pedro mine.  Excluding
these recoveries, the mining operations had an operating profit of $57,118
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to an operating
loss of $131,129 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.  The
operating results from mining included depreciation expense of $202,004
during the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $225,071
during the nine months ended September 30, 1999.


St. Cloud Mining Company, a wholly owed subsidiary of the Company
("St. Cloud"), sold 12,899 tons of natural zeolite during the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, compared to 12,367 tons during the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.

Other Income
Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $322,994,
compared to $187,846 in the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
This increase in other income was primarily a result of both increased
interest income and gain on sale of fixed assets.

Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses, and the components thereof, increased to
$19,115,461 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $14,742,672
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

Electrical construction costs were $14,644,379 and $11,589,363 in the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase
in costs for the 2000 period was primarily attributable to an increase
in subcontract costs.

Mining costs were $1,850,572 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
compared to $1,521,979 in the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

Depreciation and amortization was $931,737 in the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, compared to $807,710 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999.  The increase in depreciation and amortization for
2000 was attributable to an increased level of capital expenditures.

General corporate expenses of the Company increased to $1,768,668 in the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $1,111,307 in the nine months
ended September 30, 1999.  The increase in general corporate expenses
for 2000 was primarily attributable to a $425,311 net expense related
to payments made under Cancellation and Release Agreements pursuant to
which the Company's Employee Benefit Agreements were terminated.
Such Cancellation and Release Agreements were filed as exhibits to the
Company's Form 10Q for the quarter ended June 30,2000. The increase in
general corporate expenses also resulted from an increase in professional
services and other general and administrative expenses.

Results of Operations -  Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared
to Three Months Ended September 30, 1999.

Net Income
The Company incurred a net loss of $8,563 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000, compared to net income of $304,963 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999.

Revenues
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were
$6,289,881, compared to $3,658,820 for the three months ended
September 30, 1999.  This increase was primarily attributable to
higher electrical construction revenue.

Electrical construction revenue increased by 82% in the three months
ended September 30, 2000 to $5,621,835 from $3,085,624 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999.  This increase was primarily attributable
to an increase in transmission line construction.

Revenue from mining operations increased by 13% to $592,179 for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 from $522,755 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999.

Operating Results
Electrical construction operations had an operating profit of $401,177
in the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to an operating
profit of $490,269 during the three months ended September 30, 1999.
Operating profit was lower for the three months ended September 30, 2000
as compared to the three months ending September 30, 1999 on increased
revenue due primarily to lower margins on increased subcontract costs.

During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the operating loss
from mining operations was $68,854 compared to an operating profit of
$113,872 during the three months ended September 30, 1999.  The operating
results from mining operations in the three months ended September 30,
2000 and 1999 included the recovery of $10,609 and $181,087, respectively,
of previously recorded impairment losses related to the San Pedro mine.
Excluding these recoveries the mining operations incurred an operating loss
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 of $79,463 and
$67,215, respectively.  The operating results from mining included
depreciation expense of $71,499 during the three months ended September
30, 2000, compared to $76,629 during the three months ended
September 30, 1999.

St. Cloud sold 3,912 tons of natural zeolite during the three months
ended September 30, 2000, compared to 4,110 tons during the three months
ended September 30, 1999.

Other Income
Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $75,867,
compared to $50,441 in the three months ended September 30, 1999.
This increase in other income was primarily a result of increased
interest income.

Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses, and the components thereof, increased to
$6,261,040 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from
$3,346,091 for the three months ended September 30, 1999.

Electrical construction costs were $4,959,418 and $2,415,227 in the
three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
increase in costs in 2000 was primarily attributable to an increase
in subcontract costs.

Mining costs were $600,143 for the three months ended September 30, 2000,
compared to $513,342 in the three months ended September 30, 1999.

Depreciation and amortization was $349,939 in the three months ended
September 30, 2000, compared to $274,756 in the three months ended
September 30, 1999.  This increase in depreciation and amortization
was attributable to an increased level of capital expenditures.

General corporate expenses of the Company increased slightly to $368,318
in the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $341,853 in the three
months ended September 30, 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2000 were $3,532,817 as
compared to $5,719,163 as of December 31, 1999.  The decrease in
cash was primarily the result of capital expenditures in the
electrical construction segment, as discussed below.  Working
capital at September 30, 2000 was $6,397,261, compared to $7,507,357
at December 31, 1999.  The Company's ratio of current assets to
current liabilities decreased to 4.2 to 1 at September 30, 2000, from
5.7 to 1 at December 31, 1999.  This decrease in the current ratio
was a result of the investment in capital equipment and a combination
of an increase in accounts receivable and costs and estimated earnings
in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and an increase in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading
purposes.  Financial instruments entered into for other than trading
purposes consist principally of cash and cash equivalents with limited
market risk sensitivity.

The Company paid cash dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock in
the amount of $17,819 in each of the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999.  The Company has paid no cash dividends
on its Common Stock since 1933, and it is not expected that the Company
will pay any cash dividends on its Common Stock in the immediate future.

Pursuant to an unsecured line of credit agreement entered into on
October 30, 2000 between the Company and SunTrust Bank of Central
Florida, N.A. ("SunTrust") (guaranteed by the Company's subsidiary,
Southeast Power Corporation), the Company may borrow up to $3,000,000
at the bank's prime rate of interest.  This credit line expires
April 30, 2001, at which time the Company expects to renew it for
an additional year.  One hundred thousand dollars of this line of credit
has been reserved for a standby letter of credit.  This line of credit
replaces the previous line of credit agreement between Southeast
Power Corporation and SunTrust.  No borrowings were outstanding
under this previous line of credit during the nine months ended September
30, 2000 and 1999.  Currently, there are no borrowings outstanding
under the new line of credit.

The Company's capital expenditures for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 increased to $2,741,425 from $1,430,559 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999.  This increase in the level of
capital expenditures was primarily to accommodate the increased level
of operations in the Company's electrical construction subsidiary.

In addition, the Company is expanding its real estate operations
to include development of luxury condominium projects.  To date,
the Company has purchased or contracted to purchase three waterfront
sites for development into twenty one units near Cocoa Beach,
Florida.  Development and construction is expected to take
approximately two years per project.

Although no definitive construction contracts have been awarded,
the Company presently estimates the aggregate sell out of these
three projects to be $12,500,000.  During the first nine months of
this year, the Company spent approximately $370,000 on site acquisition
costs and anticipates spending in the fourth quarter an additional
$550,000.  Initial financing has been secured through an expanded line
of credit.  Construction financing is expected to be secured through
conventional real estate project financing.  The Company has received
presale reservations for all units in the first project and ten
out of twelve units in the second project.  The Company does not
intend to proceed with the development of a project unless it has
sales contracts sufficient to cover most of that project's projected
costs.

Year 2000 Compliance

In the past, many computers, software programs, and other information
technology ("IT systems"), as well as other equipment relying on
microprocessors or similar circuitry ("non-IT systems"), were written
or designed using two digits, rather than four, to define the
applicable year.  As a result, if not addressed, these systems may not
have been able to properly interpret dates beyond the Year 1999,
which may have led to business disruptions. Accordingly, the Company
identified and performed all needed material modifications and
testing of significant systems, and communicated with customers,
suppliers, banks and others with whom it does significant business to
determine their Year 2000 readiness and the extent to which the Company
was vulnerable to any other organization's Year 2000 issues.

The Company considers the transition into the Year 2000 successful
from the perspective of its information technology and other systems.
In addition to the changeover to January 1, 2000, it has been shown
that certain other dates may also present similar problems for some
systems.  The Company continues to monitor the situation.  To date,
the Company has not experienced any material Year 2000 issues with
respect to its systems, customers or suppliers.

The Company estimates that the total cost to the Company of Year 2000
activities has been less than $10,000.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Statement 133 - Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities.  Statement 133 establishes methods of accounting for
derivative financial instruments and hedging activities related
to those instruments as well as other hedging activities. As the Company
does not hold derivative instruments or engage in hedging activities,
we do not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.  We will be required
to implement Statement 133 in the first quarter of our year ending
December 31, 2001.
