Preliminary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.
Certain matters discussed in this report contain forward-looking statements
that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, capital
expenditures, liquidity, capital resources and competition and may be indicated
by words or phrases such as "anticipate", "estimate", "plans", "projects",
"continuing", "ongoing", "expects", "management believes", "the Company
believes", "the Company intends" and similar words or phrases. The following
factors and others discussed in the Company's periodic reports and filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission are among the principal factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements: freight demand for petroleum products including recessionary and
terrorist impacts on travel in the Company's markets; levels of construction
activity in the markets served by our mining properties and our flatbed
trucking subsidiary; the impact of fuel prices on our costs and on overall
demand for petroleum products in our markets; accident severity and frequency;
risk insurance markets; driver availability and cost; the impact of future
regulations regarding the transportation industry; availability and terms of
financing; competition; interest rates, inflation and general economic
conditions; demand for flexible warehouse/office facilities in the
Baltimore/Washington and Dulles Airport areas; and ability to obtain zoning and
entitlements necessary for property development. However, this list is not a
complete statement of all potential risks or uncertainties.
These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof based on
management's current expectations, and the Company does not undertake an
obligation to update such statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise. Additional information regarding these and other
risk factors may be found in the Company's other filings made from time to time
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PATRIOT TRANSPORTATION HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008
(Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Patriot Transportation Holding,
Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). Investment in the 50% owned
Brooksville Joint Venture is accounted for under the equity method of
accounting. These statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form
10-Q and do not include all the information and footnotes required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (primarily consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for
the interim periods have been included. Operating results for the nine
months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30,
2008. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and the
information included under the heading "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" should be
read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial
statements and related notes included in the Company's Form 10-K for
the year ended September 30, 2007.
(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2006, the FASB issued
FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48) "Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes" which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax
positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally,
FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, accounting
in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax
positions. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on October 1,
2007. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized a
$216,000 reduction in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits,
which was accounted for as an increase to retained earnings. As of
October 1, the Company had a liability for unrecognized tax benefits
of $537,000, which is included in income taxes receivable, net. If
recognized, $337,000 of unrecognized tax benefits would impact the
Company's effective tax rate. Interest and penalties of $200,000 has
been reflected as a component of the total liability. It is the
Company's policy to recognize as additional income tax expense the
items of interest and penalties directly related to income taxes. For
the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, there was a reduction
of $165,000 to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits. The
Company expects a decrease in the liability of up to $135,000 for
uncertain tax positions during the next 12 months. The Company files
income tax returns in the U.S. and various states which are subject to
audit for up to five years after filing.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value
Measurement (SFAS 157). The Statement defines fair value, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. This Statement is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. Management believes that the
adoption of SFAS 157 will require additional disclosure on the fair
value of its goodwill, asset retirement obligations, and long-term
mortgage notes payable but will not have a material impact on the
consolidated financial results of the Company.
(3) Business Segments. The Company has identified two business
segments, each of which is managed separately along product lines. The
Company's operations are substantially in the Southeastern and Mid-
Atlantic states.
The transportation segment hauls primarily petroleum related bulk
liquids, dry bulk commodities and construction materials by motor
carrier. The real estate segment owns real estate of which a
substantial portion is under mining royalty agreements or leased. The
real estate segment also holds certain other real estate for
investment and develops commercial and industrial properties.
Operating results and certain other financial data for the Company's
business segments are as follows (in thousands):

The Company has a $37,000,000 uncollaterized Revolving Credit
Agreement (the Revolver) with four banks which is scheduled to
terminate on December 31, 2009. The Revolver currently bears interest
at a rate of 1.25% over the selected LIBOR and may change quarterly
based on the Company's ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to
Consolidated Total Capital, as defined in the Revolver. A commitment
fee of 0.2% per annum is payable quarterly on the unused portion of
the commitment. The commitment fee may also change quarterly based
upon the ratio described above. The Revolver contains restrictive
covenants including limitations on borrowing ability and on paying
cash dividends. Under these restrictions, as of June 30, 2008,
approximately $25,000,000 was available for borrowing. The Company is
in compliance with all restrictive covenants as of June 30, 2008. No
amounts were outstanding as of June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007.
(5) Related Party Transactions. The Company was a related party to
Florida Rock Industries, Inc. (FRI) because four of the Company's
directors also served until November 16, 2007, as directors of FRI and
such directors owned approximately 24% of the stock of FRI and 47% of
the stock of the Company. The Company derived 5.4% of its consolidated
revenue from FRI in fiscal 2007. FRI merged with Vulcan Materials
Company ("Vulcan") in November 2007.
The Company, through its transportation subsidiaries, hauls
commodities by tank and flatbed trucks for the Florida Rock Division
of Vulcan. Charges for these services are based on prevailing market
prices. The real estate subsidiaries lease certain construction
aggregates mining and other properties to Vulcan. The Company also
outsourced certain administrative functions to Vulcan. The cost of
these administrative functions was $44,000 and $143,000 for the nine
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
On October 4, 2006, a subsidiary of the Company (FRP) entered into a
Joint Venture Agreement with Florida Rock Industries, Inc. (now
Vulcan) to form Brooksville Quarry, LLC, a real estate joint venture
to develop approximately 4,300 acres of land near Brooksville,
Florida. The venture is jointly controlled by Vulcan and FRP which
both have an obligation to fund capital contributions of up to $2
million. Capital contributions of $925,000 have been made by each
party as of June 30, 2008. Distributions will be made on a 50-50 basis
except for royalties and depletion specifically allocated to FRP.
Other income for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 includes a loss
of $20,000 representing the Company's equity in the loss of the joint
venture.
(6) Earnings per common share. The following details the computations
of the basic and diluted earnings per common share (in thousands,
except per share amounts):
THREE MONTHS NINE MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, ENDED JUNE 30,
2008 2007 2008 2007
Weighted average common shares
outstanding during the
period - shares used for
basic earnings per share 3,024 3,035 3,034 3,016

Earnings per common share
Basic $ .92 .80 1.58 2.38
Diluted $ .89 .77 1.54 2.30
|
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, 10,000 shares
attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the
calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion
would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended
June 30 2007, all outstanding stock options were included in the
calculation of diluted earnings per common share because the sum of
the hypothetical amount of future proceeds from the exercise price,
unrecorded compensation, and tax benefits to be credited to capital in
excess of par for all grants of stock options were lower than the
average price of the common shares, and therefore were dilutive. For
the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, all
outstanding restricted shares were included in the calculation of
diluted earnings per common share because the unrecorded compensation
and tax benefits to be credited to capital in excess of par for all
awards of restricted stock were lower than the average price of the
common shares, and therefore were dilutive.
(7) Stock-Based Compensation Plans. As more fully described in Note
7 to the Company's notes to the consolidated financial statements in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 2007, the Company's stock-based compensation plans
permit the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and stock awards.
The number of common shares available for future issuance was
262,400 at June 30, 2008.
The Company recorded the following stock compensation expense in its

The aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable in-the-money options was
$10,254,000 and the aggregate intrinsic value of all outstanding
options was $10,962,000 based on the market closing price of $80.00 on
June 30, 2008 less exercise prices. Gains of $2,036,000 were realized
by option holders during the nine months ended June 30, 2008. The
realized tax benefit from options exercised for the nine months ended
June 30, 2008 was $781,000. Total compensation cost of options granted
but not yet vested as of June 30, 2008 was $694,000, which is expected
to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years. The
first quarter of fiscal 2008 included stock compensation expense of
$183,000 related to the modification to accelerate the vesting of
4,000 shares in connection with the retirement benefits for John E.
Anderson, the Company's previous President and CEO, whose retirement
was effective February 6, 2008.

Total compensation cost of restricted stock granted but not yet vested
as of June 30, 2008 was $305,000 which is expected to be recognized
over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. The first quarter of
fiscal 2008 included stock compensation expense of $36,000 related to
the modification to accelerate the vesting of 400 shares in connection
with retirement benefits for John E. Anderson, the Company's previous
President and CEO, whose retirement was effective February 6, 2008.
(8) Contingent liabilities. Certain of the Company's subsidiaries are
involved in litigation on a number of matters and are subject to
certain claims which arise in the normal course of business. The
Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to
losses for third party liability and property damage. In the opinion
of management none of these matters are expected to have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.
(9) Customer Concentration. The transportation segment primarily
serves customers in the petroleum and building and construction
industries. Petroleum customers accounted for approximately 71% and
building and construction customers accounted for approximately 29% of
transportation segment revenues for the nine months ended June 30,
2008.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2008, the transportation
segment's ten largest customers accounted for approximately 53.2% of
the transportation segment's revenue. One of these customers accounted
for 15.9% of the transportation segment's revenue. The loss of any one
of these customers would have an adverse effect on the Company's
revenues and income. Accounts receivable from the transportation

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview - The Company has two business segments: transportation and
real estate.
The Company's transportation business is conducted through two wholly
owned subsidiaries, Florida Rock & Tank Lines, Inc. ("Tank Lines"),
and SunBelt Transport, Inc. ("SunBelt"). Tank Lines is a Southeastern
U.S. based transportation company concentrating in the hauling of
primarily petroleum related bulk liquids and dry bulk commodities by
tank trailers. SunBelt serves the flatbed portion of the trucking
industry primarily in the Southeastern U.S., hauling mainly
construction materials.
The Company's real estate activities are conducted through two wholly
owned subsidiaries. Florida Rock Properties, Inc. ("Properties") and
FRP Development Corp. ("Development"). Properties owns a number of
mining and other properties that are leased to Vulcan Materials
Company ("Vulcan"). Properties also owns certain other real estate for
investment. Development owns, manages and develops commercial
warehouse/office rental properties in the Mid-Atlantic United States.
The Company's operations are influenced by a number of external and
internal factors. External factors include levels of economic and
industrial activity in the United States and the Southeast, driver
availability and cost, regulations regarding driver qualifications and
hours of service, petroleum product usage in the Southeast which is
driven in part by tourism and commercial aviation, fuel costs,
construction activity, Vulcan's sales from the Company's mining
properties, interest rates, market conditions and attendant prices for
casualty insurance, demand for commercial warehouse space in the Mid-
Atlantic area, and ability to obtain zoning and entitlements necessary
for property development. Internal factors include revenue mix,
capacity utilization, auto and workers' compensation accident
frequencies and severity, other operating factors, administrative
costs, group health claims experience, and construction costs of new
projects. Financial results of the Company for any individual quarter
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.
Comparative Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June
30, 2008 and 2007
Consolidated Results. - Net income for the third quarter of fiscal
2008 was $2,774,000, an increase of $348,000 or 14.3% compared to net
income of $2,426,000 for the same period last year. Diluted earnings
per common share for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 were $0.89
compared to $0.77 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Increased
revenue per mile in the transportation segment more than offset
reduced demand for flatbed trucking services and high fuel expenses.

Transportation segment revenues were $39,990,000 in the third quarter
of 2008, an increase of $5,883,000 over the same quarter last year.
Revenue miles in the current quarter were down 2.6% compared to the
third quarter of 2007 due to reduced loads in the flatbed portion of
the transportation segment. Excluding fuel surcharges, revenue per
mile increased 8.4% over the same quarter last year. In addition to
general rate increases, a shift to new business in the flatbed
division was a significant factor in this increase.
The Transportation segment's cost of operations in the third quarter
of 2008 and 2007 were the same as a percentage of revenue.
Compensation and benefits increased $318,000 or 2.5% compared to the
same quarter last year due to pay increases and lower use of owner
operators. Average fuel cost per gallon in the third quarter of 2008
increased 58% over the same period last year. This resulted in an
increase in fuel cost of $68,000 in excess of the increase in fuel
surcharge revenue primarily in the flatbed portion. Insurance and
losses increased $211,000 primarily due the same quarter last year
including a larger reduction of expense for changes in estimated
retained loss reserves as of June 30 versus March 31 as calculated by
a third-party actuary. Other expense increased $174,000 due primarily
to an increase in expenses for vehicle tires and maintenance.

Real Estate segment revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 were
$6,071,000, an increase of $547,000 or 9.9% over the same quarter last
year. Lease revenue from developed properties increased $311,000 or
8.1%, due to an increase in occupied square footage, higher rental
rates on new leases, and increased revenue from reimbursed real estate
taxes. Royalties and rent increased $236,000 or 13.9% due to
increased reimbursements for real estate taxes and higher tons sold.
Real estate segment expenses increased $491,000 to $3,016,000 during
the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $2,525,000 for the same
quarter last year. Expenses related to developed properties increased
as a result of new building additions, increased real estate tax
assessments, and increased staffing to facilitate continuing portfolio
expansion. Mining and land rent expenses increased $395,000 primarily
due to increased real estate tax assessments.
Consolidated Results
Gross Profit - Consolidated gross profit was $8,628,000 in the third
quarter of fiscal 2008, an increase of $834,000 or 10.7% compared to
$7,794,000 in the same period last year. Gross profit in the
transportation segment increased $778,000 or 16.2% as increased
revenue per mile more than offset reduced demand for flatbed trucking
services and high fuel expenses. Gross profit in the real estate
segment increased $56,000 or 1.9% from the third quarter 2007, due to
higher rental rates on new leases offset by increased real estate
taxes that could not be billed to tenants.
Selling, general and administrative expense - Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $392,000 over the same quarter last
year. During the second quarter a corporate aircraft was purchased
increasing expense in the third quarter $247,000. Payroll and payroll
taxes increased $247,000 due to amounts paid to the Company's prior
CFO who retired June 16, 2008 along with additional staffing and
payroll taxes on stock option exercises. Stock compensation expense
decreased $71,000 due to reduced stock based compensation grants in
recent years. Donations decreased $49,000 for the quarter as a result
of the timing of such payments.
Interest expense - Interest expense increased $485,000 over the same
quarter last year due to interest on mortgage debt incurred July 2007
and $229,000 of capitalized interest in the prior year quarter.
Income taxes - Income tax expense decreased $87,000 over the same
quarter last year due to a $165,000 reduction of liability for
unrecognized tax benefits and $24,000 in other favorable adjustments
partially offset by increased earnings.
Net income - Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was
$2,774,000, an increase of $348,000 or 14.3% compared to net income of
$2,426,000 for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per common
share for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 were $0.89 compared to
$0.77 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Increased revenue per mile
in the transportation segment more than offset reduced demand for
flatbed trucking services and high fuel expenses.
Comparative Results of Operations for the Nine months Ended June 30,
2008 and 2007
Consolidated Results. - Net income for the first nine months of fiscal
2008 was $4,805,000, a decrease of $2,378,000 compared to net income
of $7,183,000 for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per
common share for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 were $1.54
compared to $2.30 in the first nine months of fiscal 2007. Net income
for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 benefited from a gain on
condemnation of land of $1,544,000, net of income taxes but was
adversely impacted by the accrual of retirement benefits of
$1,541,000, net of income tax benefits, for the Company's previous
President and CEO, whose retirement was effective February 6, 2008.
The transportation segment was negatively impacted in the first nine
months of fiscal 2008 by reduced demand for flatbed trucking services
and high fuel expenses. The first nine months of fiscal 2007
benefited from gains on equipment sales and reductions of estimated
prior year retained loss reserves.

Transportation segment revenues were $107,647,000 in the first nine
months of 2008, an increase of $9,228,000 over the same period last
year. Revenue miles in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 were down
3.1% compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2007 due to reduced
loads in the flatbed portion of the transportation segment. Excluding
fuel surcharges, revenue per mile increased 5.3% over the same period
last year. In addition to general rate increases the addition of new
business in the flatbed division during the third quarter was a
significant factor in this increase. Until the third quarter
decreased construction material freight demand and pricing softness
from the downturn in housing pushed revenues down in the flatbed
operation compared to the same period last year.
The Transportation segment's cost of operations in the first nine
months of 2008 increased as a percentage of revenue compared to the
same period last year. Compensation and benefits increased $868,000
or 2.3% compared to the same quarter last year due to pay increases
and lower use of owner operators. Average fuel cost per gallon in the
first nine months of 2008 increased 41% over the same period last
year. This resulted in an increase in fuel cost of $679,000 in excess
of the increase in fuel surcharge revenue in the flatbed portion.
Insurance and losses increased $1,790,000 primarily due to the same
period last year including a reduction of expense for changes in
estimated prior year retained loss reserves as of June 30, 2007 along
with a $357,000 of prior year insurance recoveries recorded in the
three months ended December 31, 2006. Other expense increased
$1,393,000 due to $752,000 higher gains on equipment sales the same
period last year along with an increase of $708,000 in vehicle tires
and maintenance.

period last year. Lease revenue from developed properties increased
$1,125,000 or 9.6%, due to an increase in occupied square footage
along with higher rental rates on new leases. Royalties and rent
increased $1,085,000 or 22.5% despite reduced tons mined because of an
increase of $359,000 in revenues from timber harvesting, revenue of
$383,000 for reimbursement of higher real estate taxes, and increases
in royalties per ton.
Real estate segment expenses increased $1,575,000 to $9,359,000 during
the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to $7,784,000 for the

increased $502,000 as a result of new building additions, increased
real estate tax assessments, and increased staffing to facilitate
continuing portfolio expansion. Mining and land rent expenses
increased $1,073,000 primarily due to increased real estate tax
assessments.
Consolidated Results
Gross Profit - Consolidated gross profit was $20,904,000 in the first
nine months of fiscal 2008, a decrease of $2,772,000 or 11.7% compared
to $23,676,000 in the same period last year. Gross profit in the
transportation segment decreased $3,407,000 or 22.8% due to the
increase in cost of operations along with decreased freight demand,
resulting in reduced revenue miles in the flatbed portion. Gross
profit in the real estate segment increased $635,000 or 7.3% from the
first nine months 2007, due to higher rental rates on new leases and
$359,000 increased gross profit from timber harvesting offset by
increased real estate taxes that could not be billed to tenants.
Selling, general and administrative expense - Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $3,171,000 over the same period last
year. The current year includes $2,503,000 accrual of retirement
benefits for the Company's previous President and CEO. In March 2008,
a corporate aircraft was purchased increasing expense $308,000.
Payroll and payroll taxes increased $352,000 due to amounts paid to
the Company's prior CFO who retired June 16, 2008 along with
additional staffing and payroll taxes on stock option exercises.
Estimated allowance for doubtful accounts expense increased $78,000
primarily due to the inclusion in the prior year of a reversal of
prior accruals. Audit and legal fees increased $89,000 due to various
projects. Stock compensation expense excluding amounts associated
with the Company's prior President and CEO decreased $216,000 due to
reduced stock based compensation grants in recent years.
Gain from condemnation of land - Gain from condemnation of land was
$2,507,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 resulting from the
taking by the Virginia Department of Transportation ("VDOT") of 28
acres on December 13, 2007 by filing a Certificate of Take and
depositing with the Court $5,860,000, representing VDOT's estimate of
the fair market value of the property. The Prince William County
Property was purchased in December 2005 and the cost of the 28 acres
taken by VDOT was $3,353,000.
Interest expense - Interest expense increased $1,462,000 over the same
period last year due to interest on mortgage debt incurred July 2007
and $782,000 of capitalized interest in the same period last year.
Income taxes - Income tax expense decreased $1,693,000 over the same
period last year due to reduced earnings, a $165,000 reduction of
liability for unrecognized tax benefits, and $24,000 in other
favorable adjustments, partially offset by $70,000 of tax expense
related to a permanent tax difference on surrender of a policy on the
life of the previous CEO that the Company owned.
Net income - Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was
$4,805,000, a decrease of $2,378,000 compared to net income of

share for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 were $1.54 compared to
$2.30 in the first nine months of fiscal 2007. Net income for the
first nine months of fiscal 2008 benefited from a gain on condemnation
of land of $1,544,000, net of income taxes but was adversely impacted
by the accrual of retirement benefits of $1,541,000, net of income tax
benefits, for the Company's previous President and CEO, whose
retirement was effective February 6, 2008. The transportation segment
was negatively impacted in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 by
reduced demand for flatbed trucking services and high fuel expenses.
The first nine months of fiscal 2007 benefited from gains on equipment
sales and prior period insurance recoveries.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. For the first nine months of fiscal
2008, the Company used cash provided by operating activities of
$14,892,000, proceeds from the sale of plant, property and equipment
of $6,542,000, proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options of
$961,000, excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options of
$614,000 and cash balances to purchase $26,426,000 in property and
equipment, to invest $425,000 in the Brooksville Joint Venture, to
make $2,798,000 scheduled payments on long-term debt and to repurchase
Company stock for $4,388,000. Cash decreased $11,028,000.
Cash flows from operating activities for the first nine months of
fiscal 2008 were $2,323,000 lower than the same period last year. The
Company made cash payments of retirement benefits to the Company's
prior President and CEO of $4,851,000 during the second quarter of
fiscal 2008. Cash payments on accounts payable and other current
liabilities were $3,425,000 lower than the same period last year
primarily due to the timing of payments for equipment and materials.
The transportation segment was negatively impacted in the third
quarter of fiscal 2008 from continuing adverse demand, fuel expense
and operating disruptions for the flatbed trucking operations.
Cash flows used in investing activities for the first nine months of
fiscal 2008 were $6,242,000 higher than the same period last year
primarily due to $3,395,000 for the purchase of a corporate aircraft
and $4,333,000 for the purchase of 118 acres in Carroll County,
Maryland for future warehouse/office development along with higher
construction levels on the remainder of the portfolio.
Cash flows from financing activities for the first nine months of
fiscal 2008 were $3,170,000 lower than the same period last year due
to repurchase of Company stock of $4,388,000, an increase of $882,000
in mortgage payments, and the prior year including $2,126,000 of
payments under the revolving credit agreement.
The Company has a $37,000,000 revolving credit agreement (the
Revolver) which had a zero balance as of June 30, 2008. The Revolver
contains restrictive covenants including limitations on paying cash
dividends. Under these restrictions, as of June 30, 2008,
approximately $25,000,000 was available for borrowing. The Revolver
will expire on December 31, 2009.
On July 31, 2007, the Company borrowed $36,000,000 from Prudential
Insurance Company of America. The non-recourse mortgage loans fully
amortize on a level term over 20 years and bear interest at a fixed
rate of 5.74%. The loans are secured by seven developed properties
with an aggregate net book value of $31,074,000 at June 30, 2007. A
portion of the proceeds were used to repay balances outstanding under
the Company's Revolver and the remaining proceeds will be used to fund
new construction, purchase land for future development, and for
general corporate purposes. Net interest expense for fiscal 2008 is
expected to increase versus fiscal 2007 by approximately $1,100,000
due to lower capitalized interest and interest rates on mortgage debt
exceeding short-term cash investments.
The Company had $17,909,000 of irrevocable letters of credit
outstanding as of June 30, 2008. Most of the letters of credit are
irrevocable for a period of one year and are automatically extended
for additional one-year periods until notice of non-renewal is
received from the issuing bank. Substantially all of these are issued
for workers' compensation and liability insurance retentions. If
these letters of credit are not extended, the Company will have to
find alternative methods of collateralizing or funding these
obligations.
The Board of Directors has authorized Management to repurchase shares
of the Company's common stock from time to time as opportunities
arise. During the first nine months of fiscal 2008 the Company
repurchased 55,509 shares for $4,388,000. As of June 30, 2008,
$5,625,000 was authorized for future repurchases of common stock. The
Company does not currently pay any dividends on common stock.
The Company has committed to make additional capital contributions of
up to $1,075,000 to Brooksville Quarry, LLC in connection with a joint
venture with Vulcan.
The Virginia Department of Transportation took title to 28 acres of
the Company's land on December 13, 2007 by filing a Certificate of
Take and depositing with the Court $5,860,000. The Company received
these funds in April 2008. A portion of these funds that were
receivable were used to purchase replacement property in March and the
Company intends to use the balance of the funds for general corporate
purposes until the Company identifies and purchases replacement
property under IRS involuntary conversion rules.
On May 07, 2008, the Company's tank line subsidiary entered into an
agreement to sell approximately 1.5 acres of land located in Escambia
County, Florida for $2,375,000. The contract is subject to a 120 day
due diligence period during which the buyer may cancel the contract
for any reason. If the contract closes in accordance with its terms,
the Company would recognize a gain of approximately $2,327,000 before
income taxes. The Company estimates the after-tax gain from the sale
would be $1,433,000, or approximately $.46 per diluted share. The
sale would not affect the Company's tank line operations as the
Company would relocate its truck terminal to another site in the area.
While the Company is affected by environmental regulations, such
regulations are not expected to have a major effect on the Company's
capital expenditures or operating results.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48) "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes" which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax
positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally,
FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, accounting
in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax
positions. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on October 1,
2007. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized a
$216,000 reduction in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits,
which was accounted for as an increase to retained earnings. As of
October 1, the Company had a liability for unrecognized tax benefits
of $537,000, which is included in income taxes receivable, net. If
recognized, $337,000 of unrecognized tax benefits would impact the
Company's effective tax rate. Interest and penalties of $200,000 has
been reflected as a component of the total liability. It is the
Company's policy to recognize as additional income tax expense the
items of interest and penalties directly related to income taxes. For
the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, there was a reduction
of $165,000 to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits. The
Company expects a decrease in the liability of up to $135,000 for
uncertain tax positions during the next 12 months. The Company files
income tax returns in the U.S. and various states which are subject to
audit for up to five years after filing.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value
Measurement (SFAS 157). The Statement defines fair value, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. This Statement is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. Management believes that the
adoption of SFAS 157 will require additional disclosure on the fair
value of its goodwill, asset retirement obligations, and long-term
mortgage notes payable but will not have a material impact on the
consolidated financial results of the Company.
Related Party Transactions. The Company was a related party to Florida
Rock Industries, Inc. (FRI) because four of the Company's directors
also served until November 16, 2007, as directors of FRI and such
directors owned approximately 24% of the stock of FRI and 47% of the
stock of the Company. The Company derived 5.4% of its consolidated
revenue from FRI in fiscal 2007. FRI merged with Vulcan Materials
Company ("Vulcan") in November 2007.
The Company, through its transportation subsidiaries, hauls
commodities by tank and flatbed trucks for the Florida Rock Division
of Vulcan. Charges for these services are based on prevailing market
prices. The real estate subsidiaries lease certain construction
aggregates mining and other properties to Vulcan. In April 2008,
Vulcan divested two of these quarry operations leased from the Company
to competitors. Those properties generated $351,000 in royalties for
the nine months ended June 30, 2008. The Company also outsourced
certain administrative functions to Vulcan. The cost of these
administrative functions was $44,000 and $143,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
On October 4, 2006, a subsidiary of the Company (FRP) entered into a
Joint Venture Agreement with Florida Rock Industries, Inc. (now
Vulcan) to form Brooksville Quarry, LLC, a real estate joint venture
to develop approximately 4,300 acres of land near Brooksville,
Florida. The venture is jointly controlled by Vulcan and FRP, and
they each have an obligation to fund capital contributions of up to $2
million. Capital contributions of $925,000 have been made by each
party as of June 30, 2008. Distributions will be made on a 50-50 basis
except for royalties and depletion specifically allocated to FRP.
Other income for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 includes a loss
of $20,000 representing the Company's equity in the loss of the joint
venture.
Summary and Outlook. The flatbed portion of the transportation
segment continues to face poor freight demand from the housing
downturn as well as high fuel expenses. During the third quarter of
fiscal 2008, increased revenue per mile in the transportation segment
more than offset reduced demand for flatbed trucking services and high
fuel expenses.
The Company's real estate development business continues to expand its
portfolio of warehouse-office products consistent with maintaining a
watchful eye on national and regional economic health.
In July 2008, a subsidiary of the Company, FRP Bird River, LLC,
entered into an agreement to sell approximately 121 acres of land in
Baltimore County, Maryland to Mackenzie Investment Group, LLC. The
purchase price for the property is $25,265,000, subject to certain
potential purchase price adjustments. The agreement of sale is
subject to certain contingencies, including the satisfactory
completion of the buyer's inspection period. Closing is dependent
upon several conditions including additional government approvals and
may be two or more years away.
In May 2008, the Company received final approval from the Zoning
Commission of the District of Columbia of its planned unit development
application for the Company's 5.8 acre undeveloped waterfront site on
the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. This site is located adjacent
to the recently opened Washington Nationals Baseball Park. The site
currently is leased to a subsidiary of Vulcan Materials Company under
a short-term lease. The approved planned unit development permits
the Company to develop a four building, mixed use project, containing
approximately 545,800 square feet of office and retail space and
approximately 569,600 square feet of additional space for residential
and hotel uses. The approved development would include numerous
publicly accessible open spaces and a waterfront esplanade along the
Anacostia River.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates.
For its cash and cash equivalents, a change in interest rates affects
the amount of interest income that can be earned. For its debt
instruments with variable interest rates, changes in interest rates
affect the amount of interest expense incurred. The Company prepared
a sensitivity analysis of its cash and cash equivalents to determine
the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates on the Company's
results of operations and cash flows. The interest-rate analysis
assumed a 50 basis point adverse change in interest rates on all cash
and cash equivalents. However, the interest-rate analysis did not
consider the effects of the reduced level of economic activity that
could exist in such an environment. Based on this analysis,
management has concluded that a 50 basis point adverse move in
interest rates on the Company's cash and cash equivalents would have
an immaterial impact on the Company's results of operations and cash
flows.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the
Company's reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to
management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"),
Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), and Chief Accounting Officer ("CAO"),
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
The Company also maintains a system of internal accounting controls
over financial reporting that are designed to provide reasonable
assurance to the Company's management and Board of Directors regarding
the preparation and fair presentation of published financial
statements.
All control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent
limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective
can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives.
As of June 30, 2008, the Company, under the supervision and with the
participation of the Company's management, including the CEO, CFO and
CAO, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based
on this evaluation, the Company's CEO, CFO and CAO concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting
them in a timely manner to material information required to be
included in periodic SEC filings.
There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls over
financial reporting during the third quarter that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's
internal control over financial reporting.
