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; fuel costs and the Company's ability to
recover fuel surcharges; 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 in our markets; interest rates, inflation and
general economic conditions; demand for flexible warehouse/office
facilities in the Baltimore-Washington-Northern Virginia area; 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.

(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 three months ended December
31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012.  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, 2011.

(2) Stock Split.  	On December 1, 2010, the board of directors
declared a 3-for-1 stock split of the Company's common stock in the
form of a stock dividend.  The record date for the split was
January 3, 2011 and the new shares were issued on January 17, 2011.
 The total authorized shares remained 25 million and par value of
common stock remained unchanged at $.10 per share.  All share and
per share information presented has been adjusted to reflect this
stock split.

(3)  Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  In June 2011, accounting
guidance was issued which requires an entity to present the total
of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the
components of other comprehensive income either in a single
continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but
consecutive statements. This guidance eliminates the option to
present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the
statement of equity.  This standard is effective for periods
beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company has determined that
the adoption of this standard will affect the Company's disclosures
but will not have a material effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

On October 1, 2011 the Company adopted accounting guidance which
provides an option for companies to use qualitative approach to
test goodwill for impairment if certain conditions are not met.
The amendment is effective for annual and interim goodwill
impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2011, and early adoption is permitted.  The adoption
of this amended accounting guidance is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position
and results of operations.

(4) Business Segments.  The Company operates in three reportable
business segments.  The Company's operations are substantially in
the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic states.  The transportation
segment hauls petroleum and other liquids and dry bulk commodities
by tank trailers.  The Company's real estate operations consist of
two reportable segments.  The mining royalty land segment owns real
estate including construction aggregate royalty sites and parcels held
for investment.  The developed property rentals segment acquires,
constructs, and leases office/warehouse buildings primarily in the
Baltimore/Northern Virginia/Washington area and holds real estate for
future development or related to its developments.

The Company's transportation and real estate groups operate
independently and have minimal shared overhead except for corporate
expenses.  Corporate expenses are allocated in fixed quarterly
amounts based upon budgeted and estimated proportionate cost by
segment.  Unallocated corporate expenses primarily include stock
compensation and corporate aircraft expenses.

Operating results and certain other financial data for the
Company's business segments are as follows (in thousands):

(5) Long-Term debt.  Long-term debt is summarized as follows (in
thousands):
                                             December 31,   September 30,
                                                 2011          2011
     5.6% to 8.6% mortgage notes
       due in installments through 2027         66,077        67,272
     Less portion due within one year            4,984         4,902
                                              $ 61,093        62,370

The Company has a $37,000,000 uncollateralized Revolving Credit
Agreement with three banks, which matures on December 13, 2013.
The Revolver bears interest at a rate of 1.00% over the selected
LIBOR, which may change quarterly based on the Company's ratio of
Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated Total Capital, as defined.
 A commitment fee of 0.15% 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 limitations on availability and restrictive
covenants including limitations on paying cash dividends.  Letters
of credit in the amount of $12,082,000 were issued under the
Revolver.  As of December 31, 2011, $24,918,000 was available for
borrowing and $52,853,000 of consolidated retained earnings would
be available for payment of dividends.  The Company was in
compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2011.

The fair values of the Company's mortgage notes payable were
estimated based on current rates available to the Company for debt
of the same remaining maturities.  At December 31, 2011, the
carrying amount and fair value of such other long-term debt was
$66,077,000 and $69,060,000, respectively.

(6) Earnings per share.  The following details the computations of
the basic and diluted earnings per common share (dollars in
thousands, except per share amounts):
                                        THREE MONTHS
                                      ENDED DECEMBER 31,

 - shares used for basic
 earnings per common share             9,290    9,273

Common shares issuable under

 which are potentially dilutive          132      187

Common shares used for diluted
 earnings per common share             9,422    9,460

Net income                           $ 2,124    6,395

Earnings per common share
 Basic                               $   .23      .69
 Diluted                             $   .23      .68

For the three months ended December 31, 2011, 172,060 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 months ended December
31 2010, 132,870 shares attributable to outstanding stock options
were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common
share because their inclusion would have been anti-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, 2011, the Company's stock-based compensation
plan permits 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
618,560 at December 31, 2011.

The Company recorded the following stock compensation expense in
its consolidated statements of income (in thousands):

The aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable in-the-money options
was $4,425,000 and the aggregate intrinsic value of all outstanding
in-the-money options was $4,425,000 based on the market closing
price of $21.70 on December 30, 2011 less exercise prices.  Gains
of $380,000 were realized by option holders during the three months
ended December 31, 2011. The realized tax benefit from options
exercised for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was
$145,000.  Total compensation cost of options granted but not yet
vested as of December 31, 2011 was $843,000, which is expected to
be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

(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.  There is
a reasonable possibility that the Company's estimate of vehicle and
workers' compensation liability for the transportation group or
discontinued operations may be understated or overstated but the
possible range can not be estimated.  The liability at any point in
time depends upon the relative ages and amounts of the individual
open claims.  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) Concentrations.  The transportation segment primarily serves
customers in the industries in the Southeastern U.S. Significant
economic disruption or downturn in this geographic region or these
industries could have an adverse effect on our financial
statements.

During the first three months of fiscal 2012, the transportation
segment's ten largest customers accounted for approximately 54.0%
of the transportation segment's revenue.  One of these customers
accounted for 19.9% 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 segment's ten largest customers was $3,074,000 and
$3,115,000 at December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011
respectively.

The mining royalty land segment has one lessee that accounted for
82.3% of the segment's revenues and $88,000 of accounts receivable.
 The loss of this customer would have an adverse effect on the
segment.

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit
quality institutions.  At times such amounts may exceed FDIC
limits.

(10) Fair Value Measurements.  Fair value is defined as the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date.  The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the
inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into
three broad levels.  Level 1 means the use of quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Level 2 means
the use of values that are derived principally from or corroborated
by observable market data.  Level 3 means the use of inputs that
are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value
measurement.

As of December 31, 2011 the Company had no assets or liabilities
measured at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis.
 During fiscal 2011 the corporate aircraft was placed back into
service and depreciation was recommenced.  Prior to that it was
recorded at fair value based on level 2 inputs for similar assets
in the current market on a non-recurring basis as it was deemed to
be other-than-temporarily impaired.  The first quarter of fiscal
2011 included $300,000 for the impairment to estimated fair value
of the corporate aircraft.

The fair value of all other financial instruments with the
exception of mortgage notes (see Note 5) approximates the carrying
value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

(11) Discontinued operations.  In August 2009 the Company sold its
flatbed trucking company, SunBelt Transport, Inc. ("SunBelt").
Under the agreement, the Buyer purchased all of SunBelt's tractors
and trailers, leased the SunBelt terminal facilities in
Jacksonville, Florida for 36 months at a rental of $5,000 per month
and leased the terminal facilities in South Pittsburgh, Tennessee
for 60 months at a rental of $5,000 per month with an option to
purchase the Tennessee facilities at the end of the lease for
payment of an additional $100,000.  The South Pittsburgh lease was
recorded as a sale under bargain purchase accounting.  The purchase
price received for the tractors and trailers and inventories was a
$1 million cash payment and the delivery of a Promissory Note
requiring 60 monthly payments of $130,000 each including interest
at 7%, secured by the assets of the business conveyed.  As of
September 30, 2011 the note receivable has been fully paid and the
option to purchase the South Pittsburg facility was exercised by
the buyer.  The Company retained all pre-closing receivables and
liabilities.

SunBelt has been accounted for as discontinued operations in
accordance with ASC Topic 205-20 Presentation of Financial
Statements - Discontinued Operations.   All periods presented have
been restated accordingly.

In December 2010, a subsidiary of the Company, Florida Rock
Properties, Inc., closed a bargain sale of approximately 1,777
acres of land in Caroline County, Virginia, to the Commonwealth of
Virginia, Board of Game and Inland Fisheries.  The purchase price
for the property was $5,200,000, subject to certain deductions.
The Company also donated $5,599,000 primarily for the value of
minerals and aggregates and recognized a $2,126,000 permanent tax
benefit.  The $2,126,000 permanent tax benefit was recorded to
income taxes receivable for $303,000 and offset to long-term
deferred tax liabilities of $1,823,000.  Actual realization of the
$1,823,000 in deferred taxes will depend on taxable income, income
tax rates, and income tax regulations over the 5 year carry forward
period.  The Company's book value of the property was $276,000.

A summary of discontinued operations is as follows (in thousands):

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Overview - Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. (the Company) is a
holding company engaged in the transportation and real estate
businesses.

The Company's transportation business, Florida Rock & Tank Lines,
Inc. is engaged in hauling primarily petroleum and other liquids
and dry bulk commodities in tank trailers.

The Company's real estate operations consist of two reportable
segments.  The Mining royalty land segment owns real estate
including construction aggregate royalty sites and parcels held for
investment. The Developed property rentals segment acquires,
constructs, and leases office/warehouse buildings primarily in the
Baltimore/Northern Virginia/Washington area and holds real estate
for future development or related to its developments.
Substantially all of the real estate operations are conducted
within the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic United States.

On December 1, 2010, the board of directors declared a 3-for-1
stock split of the Company's common stock in the form of a stock
dividend.  The record date for the split was January 3, 2011 and
the new shares were issued on January 17, 2011.  All share and per
share information presented has been adjusted to reflect this stock
split.

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, aggregates sales by lessees from the
Company's mining properties, interest rates, market conditions and
attendant prices for casualty insurance, demand for commercial
warehouse space in the Baltimore-Washington-Northern Virginia 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.  There is a reasonable possibility that the Company's
estimate of vehicle and workers' compensation liability for the
transportation group or discontinued operations may be understated
or overstated but the possible range can not be estimated.  The
liability at any point in time depends upon the relative ages and
amounts of the individual open claims.  Financial results of the
Company for any individual quarter are not necessarily indicative
of results to be expected for the year.

Discontinued Operations. In August 2009 the Company sold its
flatbed trucking company, SunBelt Transport, Inc. ("SunBelt").
Under the agreement, the buyer purchased all of SunBelt's tractors
and trailers, leased the SunBelt terminal facilities in
Jacksonville, Florida for 36 months at a rental of $5,000 per month
and leased the terminal facilities in South Pittsburgh, Tennessee
for 60 months at a rental of $5,000 per month with an option to
purchase the Tennessee facilities at the end of the lease for
payment of an additional $100,000.  The South Pittsburgh lease was
recorded as a sale under bargain purchase accounting.  The purchase
price received for the tractors and trailers and inventories was a
$1 million cash payment and the delivery of a Promissory Note
requiring 60 monthly payments of $130,000 each including interest
at 7%, secured by the assets of the business conveyed.  As of
September 30, 2011 the note receivable has been fully paid and the
option to purchase the South Pittsburg facility was exercised by
the buyer.  The Company retained all pre-closing receivables and
liabilities.  SunBelt has been accounted for as discontinued
operations in accordance with ASC Topic 205-20 Presentation of
Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations.  All periods
presented have been restated accordingly.

In December 2010, a subsidiary of the Company, Florida Rock
Properties, Inc., closed a bargain sale of approximately 1,777
acres of land in Caroline County, Virginia, to the Commonwealth of
Virginia, Board of Game and Inland Fisheries.  The purchase price
for the property was $5,200,000, subject to certain deductions.
The Company also donated $5,599,000 primarily for the value of
minerals and aggregates and recognized a $2,126,000 permanent tax
benefit.  The $2,126,000 permanent tax benefit was recorded to
income taxes receivable for $303,000 and offset to long-term
deferred tax liabilities of $1,823,000.  Actual realization of the
$1,823,000 in deferred taxes will depend on taxable income, income
tax rates, and income tax regulations over the 5 year carry forward
period.  The Company's book value of the property was $276,000.
Caroline County has been accounted for as discontinued operations
in accordance with ASC Topic 205-20 Presentation of Financial
Statements - Discontinued Operations. All periods presented have
been restated accordingly.


Comparative Results of Operations for the Three months ended
December 31, 2011 and 2010

Consolidated Results - Net income for the first quarter of fiscal
2012 was $2,124,000 compared to $6,395,000 for the same period last
year.  Diluted earnings per common share for the first quarter of
fiscal 2012 were $.23 compared to $.68 for the same quarter last
year.  Income from continuing operations increased $657,000
primarily due to a gain of $1,039,000 on the receipt of non-
refundable deposits related to the termination of an agreement to
sell the Company's Windlass Run Residential property.  Income from
discontinued operations favorably impacted the first quarter of
fiscal 2011 due to a book gain on the exchange of property of
$4,926,000 after tax or $.52 per diluted share.  Transportation
segment results were impacted by increased health insurance claims,
vehicle repairs, tire prices and the cost of growth initiatives.
Health insurance claims and vehicle repairs were lower than usual
in the first quarter of last year.  The mining royalty land
segment's results were lower due to a shift in production at two
locations reducing the share of mining on the property owned by the
Company partially offset by reduced professional fees.  The
Developed property rentals segment's results were higher due to
higher occupancy and increased capitalization of property taxes
partially offset by higher maintenance costs.

Transportation segment revenues were $24,841,000 in the first
quarter of fiscal 2012, an increase of $1,850,000 over the same
quarter last year.  Revenue miles in the current quarter were up
1.8% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2011 due to business
growth and a longer average haul length.  Fuel surcharge revenue
increased $1,158,000.  Excluding fuel surcharges, revenue per mile
increased 1.7% over the same quarter last year.  The average price
paid per gallon of diesel fuel increased by $.68 or 23.3% over the
same quarter in fiscal 2011.

The Transportation segment's cost of operations was $23,398,000 in
the first quarter of fiscal 2012, an increase of $2,395,000 over
the same quarter last year.  The Transportation segment's cost of
operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as a percentage of
revenue was 94% compared to 91% in the first quarter of 2011.
Compensation and benefits increased $328,000 or 3.9% compared to
the same quarter last year primarily due to a driver pay increase,
the increase in miles driven, and increased driver hiring.  Fuel
surcharge revenue increased $1,158,000 while fuel cost increased by
$1,134,000 leaving a positive impact to operating profit of
$24,000.  There is a time lag between changes in fuel prices and
surcharges and often fuel costs change more rapidly than the market
indexes used to determine fuel surcharges, particularly when the
price falls.  Insurance and losses increased $346,000 compared to
the same quarter last year primarily due to lower than expected
health insurance claims in the same quarter last year.
Depreciation expense increased $69,000 due to more trucks in
service. Other expense increased $514,000 due to higher vehicle
repair costs, increased tire prices, increased miles driven, and
growth initiatives. Selling general and administrative costs
decreased $2,000 compared to the same quarter last year.  Allocated
corporate expenses increased $6,000.

Mining royalty land segment revenues for the first quarter of
fiscal 2012 were $977,000, a decrease of $118,000 or 10.8% over the
same quarter last year, due to a shift in production at two
locations reducing the share of mining on the property owned by the
Company.

The mining royalty land segment's cost of operations was $293,000
in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, a decrease of $46,000 over the
same quarter last year due primarily to reduced professional fees.

the first quarter of fiscal 2012, an increase of $16,000 or .5%
over the same quarter last year.  Property operating expenses
decreased $65,000 due to increased capitalization of property
taxes, lower professional fees and snow removal costs partially
offset by higher maintenance costs.  Depreciation and amortization
increased $40,000 primarily due to tenant improvements.  Management
Company indirect expenses (excluding internal allocations for lease
related property management fees) increased $25,000.  Allocated
corporate expenses increased $16,000.


Consolidated Results

Operating Profit - Consolidated operating profit was $3,214,000 in
the first quarter of fiscal 2012, an increase of $26,000 or .8%
compared to $3,188,000 in the same period last year.  Operating
profit in the transportation segment decreased $545,000 or 27.4%
primarily due to increased health insurance claims, vehicle
repairs, tire prices and the cost of growth initiatives.  Health
insurance claims and vehicle repairs were lower than usual in the
first quarter of last year.  Operating profit in the mining royalty
land segment decreased $72,000 or 9.5% due to a shift in production
at two locations reducing the share of mining on the property owned
by the Company partially offset by reduced professional fees.
Operating profit in the Developed property rentals segment
increased $348,000 or 33.8% due to higher occupancy and increased
capitalization of property taxes partially offset by higher
maintenance costs.  Consolidated operating profit includes
corporate expenses not allocated to any segment in the amount of
$292,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, a decrease of
$295,000 compared to the same period last year which included an
adjustment to the fair value of the corporate aircraft of $300,000.

a gain of $1,039,000 on the receipt of non-refundable deposits
related to the termination of an agreement to sell the Company's

$93,000 over the same quarter last year due to the prepayment of
notes receivable from the sale of SunBelt Transport.

Interest expense - Interest expense decreased $102,000 over the
same quarter last year due to declining mortgage interest expense
and higher capitalized interest.

Income taxes - Income tax expense increased $410,000 over the same
quarter last year due to higher earnings.

Income from continuing operations - Income from continuing
operations was $2,125,000 or $.23 per diluted share in the first
quarter of fiscal 2012, an increase of 44.8% compared to $1,468,000
or $.16 per diluted share for the same period last year.  The
$657,000 increase was primarily due to a pretax gain of $1,039,000
on the receipt of non-refundable deposits related to the
termination of an agreement to sell the Company's Windlass Run
Residential property.

Discontinued operations - The after tax loss from discontinued
operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $1,000 versus

segment results were impacted by increased health insurance claims,
vehicle repairs, tire prices and the cost of growth initiatives.
Health insurance claims and vehicle repairs were lower than usual
in the first quarter of last year.  The mining royalty land
segment's results were lower due to a shift in production at two

Liquidity and Capital Resources. For the first three months of
fiscal 2012 cash decreased $1,976,000.  The Company used cash
provided by operating activities of continuing operations of
$5,366,000, proceeds from the sale of plant, property and equipment
of $1,069,000, proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options
of $220,000, excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options
of $145,000, and cash balances to purchase $4,789,000 in
transportation equipment, to expend $2,589,000 in real estate
development, to invest $70,000 in the Brooksville Joint Venture, to
make $1,195,000 scheduled payments on long-term debt and to
repurchase Company stock for $137,000.  Cash provided by the
operating activities of discontinued operations was $4,000.

Cash flows from operating activities for the first three months of
fiscal 2012 were $1,045,000 higher than the same period last year
primarily due to a temporary increase in payables and tax
liabilities.

Cash flows used in investing activities for the first three months
of fiscal 2012 were $2,082,000 higher reflecting the increased
purchase of transportation equipment for growth and replacement
partially offset by a pretax gain of $1,039,000 on the receipt of
non-refundable deposits related to the termination of an agreement
to sell the Company's Windlass Run Residential property.

Cash flows used in financing activities for the first three months
of fiscal 2012 were $793,000 lower than the same period last year
due to reduced repurchases of Company stock.

In August 2009 the Company sold its flatbed trucking company,
SunBelt Transport, Inc. ("SunBelt"). The purchase price received
for the tractors and trailers and inventories was a $1 million cash
payment and the delivery of a Promissory Note requiring 60 monthly
payments of $130,000 each including 7% interest, secured by the
assets of the business conveyed.  As of September 30, 2011 the note
receivable has been fully paid and the option to purchase the South
Pittsburg facility was completed.  The Company retained all pre-
closing receivables and liabilities.  SunBelt has been accounted
for as discontinued operations.  All periods presented have been
restated accordingly.

In December 2010, a subsidiary of the Company, Florida Rock
Properties, Inc., closed a bargain sale of approximately 1,777
acres of land in Caroline County, Virginia, to the Commonwealth of
Virginia, Board of Game and Inland Fisheries.  The purchase price
for the property was $5,200,000, subject to certain deductions.
The Company also donated $5,599,000 primarily for the value of
minerals and aggregates and recognized a $2,126,000 permanent tax
benefit.  The $2,126,000 permanent tax benefit was recorded to
income taxes receivable for $303,000 and offset to long-term
deferred tax liabilities of $1,823,000.  Actual realization of the
$1,823,000 in deferred taxes will depend on taxable income, income
tax rates, and income tax regulations over the 5 year carry forward
period.  The Company's book value of the property was $276,000.
The Caroline County property has been accounted for as a
discontinued operation and all periods presented have been restated
accordingly.  The Company used all the proceeds in a 1031 exchange
to purchase Hollander 95 Business Park in a foreclosure sale
auction through a qualified intermediary.  Hollander 95 Business
Park, in Baltimore City, Maryland, closed on October 22, 2010 by a
1031 intermediary for a purchase price totaling $5,750,000.  This
property consists of an existing 82,800 square foot warehouse
building (33.8% occupied) with an additional 42 acres of partially
developed land with a development capacity of 490,000 square feet
(a mix of warehouse, office, hotel and flex buildings).

The Company has a $37,000,000 uncollateralized Revolving Credit
Agreement with three banks, which matures on December 13, 2013.
The Revolver contains limitations on availability and restrictive
covenants including limitations on paying cash dividends.  Letters
of credit in the amount of $12,082,000 were issued under the
Revolver.  As of December 31, 2011, $24,918,000 was available for
borrowing and $52,853,000 of consolidated retained earnings would
be available for payment of dividends.  The Company was in
compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2011.

The Company had $12,082,000 of irrevocable letters of credit
outstanding as of December 31, 2011.  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 not less than thirty days
before the expiration date.  These were issued for insurance
retentions and to guarantee certain obligations to state agencies
related to real estate development.  The Company issued replacement
letters of credit through the Revolver to reduce fees.

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 three months of fiscal 2012
the Company repurchased 7,013 shares for $137,000.  As of December
31, 2011, $4,093,000 was authorized for future repurchases of
common stock.  The Company does not currently pay any cash
dividends on common stock.

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.


Summary and Outlook.  Transportation segment miles for this year
were 1.8% higher than last year.  The Company continues to succeed
in adding drivers and customers and anticipates increasing segment
miles during fiscal 2012.

Operating profit from the leasing of developed buildings has been
unfavorably impacted by vacancy representing 10.2% of the entire
portfolio at two buildings in Delaware impacted by automobile plant
closings and the residential housing downturn and the two parks
that each have only one building completed.  Overall occupancy has
increased from 79.8% to 82.8% (both periods including 104,226
square feet or 3.6% for temporary storage under a less than full
market lease rate) over last fiscal year end as the market for new
tenants appears to have improved and traffic for vacant space has
increased.  The Company is not presently engaged in the
construction of any new buildings.

Windlass Run Residential (previously Bird River), located in
southeastern Baltimore County, Maryland, is a 121 acre tract of
land adjacent to and west of our Windlass Run Business Park.  The
property was rezoned in September 2007 to allow for additional
density and plans are being pursued to obtain an appropriate
product mix.  In July 2008, the Company entered into an agreement
to sell the property at a purchase price of $25,075,000 and closing
was scheduled to occur in the first quarter of calendar 2012.  The
purchaser had placed non-refundable deposits of $1,000,000 under
this contract in escrow.  Preliminary approval for the development
as originally contemplated was previously received and the time for
any appeals from that approval has expired.  In October 2011 the
purchaser terminated its agreement to purchase the property and
released the $1,000,000 escrow deposit to the company's subsidiary,
FRP Bird River, LLC. along with all permits, engineering work,
plans and other development work product with regards to the
property.  The Company intends to continue to complete the
entitlement process for this parcel of land for residential
development and will market it appropriately as the demand for
residential property in this area improves in the future.

In July 2011 the Company executed a Letter of Intent with
MidAtlantic Realty Partners, LLC. ("MRP") for the formation of a
joint venture to develop the first phase of the four-phase Master
Development known as RiverFront on the Anacostia in Washington,
D.C. adjacent to the Washington Nationals baseball stadium.  On
December 1, 2011 the parties submitted to the District of Columbia
authorities a modification to the existing approved plan for the
Master Development to change phase I from an office building to
nearly 300,000 square foot residential apartment building including
some retail.  This scenario contemplates the parties will enter
into a formal joint venture agreement wherein the Company will
contribute the land comprising phase I to the joint venture in
return for a fifty percent (50%) interest in the venture.  MRP will
contribute $4,500,000 equity capital and prior to construction the
venture will raise approximately $9,000,000 in additional equity
capital and obtain a nonrecourse loan for the balance of the
estimated construction and lease up costs.  This plan contemplates
commencement of construction in the spring of 2013 with lease up
scheduled between February 2015 and August of 2016. The Letter of
Intent contemplates additional incentive promotional returns to MRP
but only after FRP and MRP have received a stipulated cumulative
return on their contributed capital.  The Letter of Intent
contemplates no commitments or obligations between the parties with
respect to Phases II, III and IV of the Master Development Plan.
Negotiations are ongoing with MRP with regard to the final
governing documents for the joint venture project.


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 December 31, 2011, 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 first three months that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
