                         1995                8,333,838                                
                         1996                6,449,974                                
                         Total               30,323,812                               
               Both Central and Colonial had a long history of operating              
          debt free, in accordance with Mr. Honbarrier’s conservative                 
          business policy of avoiding debt.  Central never incurred either            
          long-term or short-term debt.                                               
               Central pursued a 5-year capital expansion program for                 
          updating equipment.  From 1993 through 1996, Central made                   
          expenditures on property and equipment as follows:                          
                         Year                Expenditure                              
                         1993                $8,481,534                               
                         1994                5,764,211                                
                         1995                6,600,730                                
                         1996                4,806,384                                
                         Total               25,652,859                               
          The majority of these expenditures were for power units (i.e.,              
          tractors) and stainless steel tankers.  These expenditures were             
          made on a debt-free basis from Central’s available funds.
