Highlight of Business Operations:

A significant part of our real estate strategy has been to develop

high quality, flexible warehouse/office space. Average occupancy

for the fiscal year for buildings in service more than 12 months

was 75.8%. At September 30, 2010, 72.0% of the total

warehouse/office portfolio of approximately 2.8 million square feet

was occupied.



Vulcan accounted for approximately 17.9% of our real estate

revenues and 2.7% of our transportation revenues for fiscal 2010.

On a consolidated basis, Vulcan accounted for 5.7% of our fiscal

2010 revenues.



We may be unable to renew leases or relet space as leases expire.

When a lease expires, a tenant may elect not to renew it. We may

not be able to relet the property on similar terms. The terms of

renewal or re-lease (including the cost of required renovations

and/or concessions to tenants) may be less favorable than the prior

lease. If we are unable to relet all or a substantial portion of

our properties, or if the rental rates upon such reletting are

significantly lower than expected rates, our cash generated before

debt repayments and capital expenditures may be adversely affected.

As of September 30, 2010, leases at our properties representing

approximately 9%, 8% and 13% of the total square footage of

buildings completed prior to September 2010 were scheduled to

expire in fiscal year 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.



Certain shareholders have effective control of nearly a majority of

our common stock and likely will control the outcome of any

shareholder vote.

As of November 24, 2010, three of our directors, Edward L. Baker,

John D. Baker II and Thompson S. Baker II, beneficially own

approximately 23.6% of the outstanding shares of our common stock

and certain of their family members beneficially own an additional

10.3%. As a result, these individuals effectively may have the

ability to direct the election of all members of our Board of

Directors and to exercise a controlling influence over our business

and affairs, including any determinations with respect to mergers

or other business combinations involving us, our acquisition or

disposition of assets, our borrowing of monies, our issuance of any

additional securities, our repurchase of common stock and our

payment of dividends.
