$2,778,000 or $0.29 per diluted share for the same period last

Mining royalty land segment revenues for the second quarter of
fiscal 2011 were $918,000, a decrease
of $91,000 or 9.0% over the same
quarter last year, primarily due to a shift of tons sold in
northern Georgia to a quarry with
a lower royalty.
Developed property rentals segment revenues for the second
quarter of fiscal 2011 were $4,636,000, a decrease of $207,000 or 4.3% due to reduced tenant
reimbursements for snow removal partially offset by higher
occupancy.

an increase of $117,000 or 3.8%
compared to $3,067,000 in the same
period last year. Operating profit in the transportation
segment increased $278,000 or 16.1%
primarily due to lower health benefit claims. Operating

a lower royalty. Operating profit in the Developed property
rentals segment decreased $68,000 or

same period last year.

last year. Diluted earnings per share on discontinued
operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $.02 compared to $.01 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
Results in both periods were due to lower than expected
retained liabilities and losses from prior year operations.

increase of $2,288,000 over the same

due to business growth and a longer average haul length. Fuel

to a longer average haul length and lower revenue per mile on

compared to $6,109,000 in the same
period last year. Operating profit in the transportation

primarily due to lower health benefit claims. Operating profit in
the mining royalty land segment decreased $2,000. Operating profit in the Developed
property rentals segment decreased $255,000 or 10.5% due to higher professional
fees, property taxes, and depreciation. Consolidated

segment in the amount of $1,108,000
in the first six months of fiscal 2011, an increase of $102,000 compared to the same period last year

Brooksville Quarry, LLC Update. On October 4, 2006, a subsidiary of the Company
(FRP) entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Vulcan Materials
Company (formerly Florida Rock Industries, Inc.) to form
Brooksville Quarry, LLC, a real estate joint venture to develop
approximately 4,300 acres of land near Brooksville, Florida (the "Project"). In
April 2011, the Florida Department of
Community Affairs issued its Final Order approving the development
of the Project. Prior to commencing development of the
Project the property will need to be rezoned consistent with the
approved entitlements.
Summary and Outlook. Transportation segment miles
for this year were 4.3% higher than last year. The Company
continues to succeed in replacing customers from the non-renewed
contracts announced January 6, 2010
and has basically recovered from new customers substantially all
the lost revenue miles, albeit at lower rates per mile for longer
average hauls.
Operating profit from the leasing of developed buildings has
been unfavorably impacted by three newer buildings brought into
service since September 2008 along
with two nearly vacant buildings in Delaware impacted by automobile plant closings
and the residential housing downturn. Occupancy increased
from 72.0% to 77.2% over last fiscal year end as the market for new
tenants appears to have bottomed and traffic for vacant space has
increased. The Company is not presently engaged in the
construction of any new buildings.
