PATRIOT TRANSPORTATION HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2004
(Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation. The accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Patriot Transportation
Holding, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). 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 presentation of
the results for the interim periods have been included. Operating
results for the three months ended December 31, 2004 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2005. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements and the information included
under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis" 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, 2004.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the Fiscal 2004
financial statements to conform to the presentation adopted in
Fiscal 2005.

(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In December 2004, the FASB
issued a revised Statement No. 123 "Share-Based Payment." (SFAS
123R) This Statement establishes standards for the accounting for
transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments
for goods and services, and affects the Company's accounting for
its stock option plans. The standard is effective for the Company
at the beginning of its fourth quarter (July 1, 2005). The Company
intends to use the modified prospective application, and therefore
at the effective date compensation costs shall be included in the
determination of net income for all new, modified, repurchased, or
cancelled awards and all prior awards whose requisite service
conditions have not been met. Compensation costs to be expensed
upon adoption are the grant-date fair value of the stock option
awards.

(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 liquid and dry commodities 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 is developing commercial and industrial properties.

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

51,823 48,901
Less portion due in one year 1,835 7,716
$49,988 41,185

The Company has a $37,000,000 uncollaterized Revolving Credit
Agreement with four banks which was to terminate on December 31,
2004. On November 10, 2004, the Company and the four banks entered
into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the
Revolver) which will terminate on December 31, 2009. The Revolver
bears interest at an initial rate of 1% over the selected LIBOR.
The margin rate may change quarterly based on the Company's ratio
of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated Total Capital. An
initial 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 restrictive covenants including limitations on paying cash
dividends.

(5) Related Party Transactions. The Company, through its
transportation subsidiaries, hauls commodities by tank and flatbed
trucks for Florida Rock Industries, Inc. (FRI). Charges for these
services are based on prevailing market prices. Other wholly owned
subsidiaries lease certain construction aggregates mining and other
properties to FRI. In addition, the Company outsources certain
functions to FRI, including some administrative, human resources
and risk management services.


(6) Discontinued operations. During fiscal year 2004, the Company
sold three tracts of land that were accounted for as discontinued
operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS 144).

The results of operations of these properties, consisting of
royalty and rental income, operating expenses and depreciation,
have been reclassified to discontinued operations. Income from the
disposed properties, net of income taxes, was $87,000 for the
quarter ended December 31, 2003. This period has been restated
accordingly.

(7) Earnings per share. The following details the denominators of
the basic and diluted earnings per common share computations.

Denominator for diluted earnings per share 3,000,111 2,983,497


(8) Stock-Based Compensation Plan. The Company accounts for its
stock-based employee compensation plans under the recognition and
measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees", and related interpretations. No stock-based
employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all
options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to
the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of
grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and
earnings per share if the company had applied the fair value
recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation", to stock-based employee compensation.

Diluted - as reported $ .55 .44

Diluted - pro forma $ .48 .38


(9) 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.

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

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,
petroleum product usage in the Southeast which is driven in part by
tourism and commercial aviation, fuel costs, driver availability
and cost, regulations regarding driver qualifications and hours of
service, construction activity, FRI's sales from the Company's
mining properties, interest rates and demand for commercial
warehouse space in the Baltimore/Washington area. Internal factors
include revenue mix, capacity utilization, auto and workers'
compensation accident frequencies and severity, other operating
factors, administrative costs, and construction costs of new
projects.

During Fiscal 2004, the transportation segment's ten largest
customers accounted for approximately 39% of the transportation
segment's revenue. The loss of any one of these customers could
have an adverse effect on the Company's revenues and income.

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
December 31, 2004 and 2003

Consolidated Results. - Net income for the first quarter of fiscal
2005 was $1,656,000, compared to $1,318,000 for the same period
last year. Net income for the first quarter of 2004 included
$87,000 in income from discontinued operations. Fully diluted
earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 was $0.55
compared to $0.44 in the first quarter of fiscal 2004, an increase
of 25.6%.

Revenues First Quarter 2005 vs First Quarter 2004 - Transportation
segment revenues were $27,035,000 in the first quarter of 2005, an
increase of $3,264,000 over the same quarter last year. Fuel
surcharges accounted for $1,610,000 of the increase, resulting from
higher diesel fuel costs during the quarter compared to the same
quarter last year. Excluding fuel surcharges, revenue per mile
increased 5.1%, reflecting better pricing for our services. Revenue
miles in the current quarter were up 2.0% compared to the first
quarter of 2004.

Expenses First Quarter 2005 vs First Quarter 2004 - The
Transportation segment cost of operations in the first quarter of
2005 increased $2,992,000 to $23,604,000, as compared to
$20,612,000 in the same quarter last year. The primary factors for
the increase are higher diesel fuel costs and an increase in risk
and health insurance costs. Our average diesel fuel cost per gallon
increased 41.3% in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the same
quarter last year.

Revenues First Quarter 2005 vs First Quarter 2004 - Real Estate
segment revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 were
$4,339,000, an increase of $426,000 or 10.9% over the same quarter
last year. Lease revenue from developed properties increased
$466,000 or 19.0%, due to a 25.4% increase in occupied square feet
resulting from the purchase of two completed buildings in March
2004 and the purchase of one building in early November 2004. These
purchases added 491,000 square feet, of which 339,000 was leased
during the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Royalties from mining
operations decreased as a result of a 7.5% decrease in tons sold as
compared to the same quarter last year.

Expenses First Quarter 2005 vs First Quarter 2004 - Real estate
segment expenses increased slightly to $1,853,000 during the first
quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to $1,850,000 for the same quarter
last year. Expenses related to development activities increased as
a result of the new building additions. The increase in development
expenses was offset by a decrease in depletion costs as a result of
the reduced mining sales.

Consolidated Gross Profit - Consolidated gross profit was
$5,917,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to
$5,223,000 in the same period last year, an increase of 13.3%.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense - Selling,
general and administrative expenses were consistent quarter to
quarter. SG&A expense was 7.6% of revenue for the first quarter of
fiscal 2005 compared to 8.0% for the same period last year.

Income from continuing operations - Income from continuing
operations was $1,656,000 or $0.55 per diluted share in the first
quarter of fiscal 2005, an increase of $425,000 or 34.6% compared
to $1,231,000 or $0.41 per diluted share in the same period last
year.

Discontinued Operations - During fiscal 2004 the Company had three
sales of real estate that have been accounted for as discontinued
operations, in accordance with SFAS 144. The income from the
operations of these components have been reflected in the
consolidated income statement as income from discontinued
operations, net of income taxes.

The after-tax net income from the operations of the sold properties
was $87,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2004.

Net income - As a result of the forgoing, net income increased to
$1,656,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 from $1,318,000 in
the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share increased to
$0.55 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 from $0.44 in the same
period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the first three months of Fiscal 2005, the Company used cash
held in escrow and borrowings under its Revolver and construction
loan to finance its operating activities and the purchase of
$14,840,000 in property and equipment. At September 30, 2004, the
Company had $16,553,000 of cash from the sales of real estate
during fiscal 2004, which were placed in escrow in anticipation of
using the funds in an Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 tax-
deferred exchange. A portion of the funds were used to purchase
land and buildings for $7,200,000. The remaining funds were used
primarily to pay income taxes due on the gains from sales of
properties that were not tax-deferred.

The Company has a $37,000,000 revolving line of credit (Revolver)
under which $32,556,000 was available at December 31, 2004. During
first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company renewed the Revolver with
substantially the same terms and conditions, except that the
termination date was extended to December 31, 2009.

The Board of Directors has authorized Management to repurchase
shares of the Company's common stock from time to time as
opportunities arise. As of December 31, 2004, $3,490,000 was
authorized to repurchase the Company's common stock.

In December 2003, the Company committed to develop a 145,000 square
foot build-to-suit warehouse/office building pursuant to a 15 year
triple net lease. This project is expected to cost approximately
$14,900,000. The Company intends to finance the project through a
construction loan and the Company's existing Revolver. The terms of
the construction financing are for borrowings not to exceed
$11,800,000 for a period not to exceed 18 months converting to a 15
year non-recourse mortgage at project completion. Interest rate is
6.17% for both the construction and mortgage loans. Borrowings
under the construction loan totaled $4,826,0000 at December 31,
2004.

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.

Management believes that the Company is financially postured to be
able to take advantage of external and internal growth
opportunities in both our real estate and transportation segments.
